DISARMAMENT | CONFERENCE TO ADJOURN SOON Chief U.S. Delegate Pleads For Action; Fights Adjournment ADJOURN SATURDAY FOR SEVERAL WEEKS Geneva, June I.—(U.R)—lnternational control of armaments was accepted with reservations today by the United States. At a meeting of the general commission of the world arms conference, Norman H. Davis, representing President Roosevelt, accepted the French proposal for automatic, effective, and continuous supervision of armaments, on condition that the United States would in no way be obliged to employ milita r y sanctions (penalties) against a country violating a treaty. Geneva, June 1 —(U.R) — Striving once more to save the disarmament conference on which depends the hope of the world for speedy relief from top heavy war organizations. Norman H. Davis, chief United States delegate, appealed today tor more disarmament and less "procedure." Davis, disappointed and angered at a decision to adjourn the conference for weeks, said sarcastically: "I am not interested in procedure, but in disarmament. I find we spend more time discussing the way we should do things than we do in discussing what we should do. "Let us have more disarmament and less procedure " The commission decided as a preliminary to adjournment to read, probably by Saturday, the British draft disarmament plan, proposed by Ramsav MacDonald and favored by Davis as a basis for a definitive disarmament plan. Then, it was voted, the conference should adjourn until not later than July 3, while the world economic conference is meeting. Objection by French, Norwegian and Swiss delegates prevented adoption of a proposal to make the British plan the actual basis of negotiation of a definitive plan at once. Davis is trying to arrange a conference at Paris tomorrow with Joseph Paul-Boncour, French •(CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE! o BANK OPENING RELEASES GASH $5,000 In Checks at Treasurer’s Office Applied To Taxes With the opening of the First Bank of Berne today under a class “A" rating more than $5,000 of checks held by County Teasurer John Wechter in payment of the May installment of taxes will be cashed.

I I Consulting Engineer States Value Os Central Heating Plant To City

(Editor’s note: The following (article is printed as a matter of in-1 formation to the public and publi-j I cation thereof is done without any lintention of influencing public i sentiment for or against the prop-1 iosition. It is s matter to be decided entirely by prospective patjrons and the citizens of Decatur). “The situation for a central heat- ; ing system in Decatur is ideal, due Ito the fact that the municipal powder house is located almost in the (center of the possible heating district," Charles Brossman, consult-, ing engineer of Indianapolis, employed by the City of Decatur to (make a survey of the City Light (and Power plant stated in an interview today. Mr. Brossman said: “There are many large buildings within a short 'distance, comprising schools,! i churches and business blocks, so | that the heating mains, would he less in length to serve a heating i load, than in many other places." ; Pointing to the boiler capacity at I the city plant, Mr. Brossman said, ' “Also from the fact that the municipal power plant has a large boiler reserve capacity, the present : boilers could be used for supplying a heating load, and this would be j ■ the means of putting a better load | on the boiler plant, and getting some use out of idle boilers." • Mr. Brossman made the follow- ■ • ing statement concerning the poss-1 ■ ibilities of establishing a central: heating system in this city: I “Under the conditions at Deca- ■ tur, a very favorable heating rate' • could be made. Approximate estimates on the cost of installing a ■ plant show that the entire expendiI ture. due to a central heating plant ; expense, could be paid off in about i five years, and at the most not over • ten years, this expense being paid

Therefore, there would, be no expense to the city in any way. The revenues from the system would pay the interest and for the retiring of this money. r “Under the existing state laws a j heating plant would come under I c the same heading as any other \ utility, and it is believed that there r should be no trouble in financing t this. “It would, of course, be neces- a sary to determine that the .people 1 2 were favorable to a central heat- 1 <j ing plant, but this situation could be readily canvassed. : 4 "The use of central station.heat j at a reasonable rate would give 1 many benefits to the consumers, as t (those using central station heat j would get rid of the annoyance of* e I the dirt from coal handling, of v | ashes, and also from trouble and (labor in firing, and would always t be assured of a uniform heat which ; would be available at all timefe. “An interesting example of dis- I 1 trict heating as a municipal utility (j is a small plant in Canada.
