PURDUE RECORD ] IS REMARKABLE Purdue University Compiles Great Record in Basketball, Football 1 Lafayette, Ind.. Mar. 23. (Spec- ’ Lafayette, Ind.. Mar. 23. (Special I As far as basketball and football are concerned, the early '39s will probably be long remembered in Purdue athletic history. The eo-< hampionship performance of the 1935 basketball quintet, which finished the year with the best all season record of any Big Ten hardwood combination. ' marked the sixth time in the last , six years that the Boilermakers have won or shared in either grid- ' iron or hardwood championships in , the Big Ten. Remarkably consistent perform-j ances have marked the six year era , ’ since the start of the 1929 1939; academic year when Purdue won the undisputed championships in' both football and basketball. Ini the six year period, the basketball I team has won three undisputed i titles and shared in another, while' the football eleven has won one I undisputed title, shared in one. and : finished in the runner-up position! twice. As a result of the consistent per-i | jformauces, Purdue's football and basketball teams both top the sixyear Big Ten standings by neat 1 ■ margins, as shown in the follow-, ing composite tables: Football—(l929-34) W.

After the law is promulgated no new assessment companies may be organized. Finally, the bill provides for merger and re-insurance standards ' in health and accident policies. Labor In contrast to most previous I legislative session, few labor laws . were enacted by the 1935 general assembly. One of the most important bills passed excludes relief workers i from the workmen's compensation act. The law sets up a separate I compensation system for such I workers. In case of injury - the .

sets up a workmen’s compensation rating bureau in Indiana. The bureau will establish minimum premiums to be charged for compensation insuiance. with the approval of the state insurance commissioner. Labor interests succeeded in enacting a law which provides that contractors on public works projects must pay laborers the prevailing wage rate in the community where the work is performed. Another bill provides that firms operating on leased property must post a bond double the amount of its weekly payroll to insure payment of wages. FIVE NEW LAWS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE - ■ ' to another and was Intended to | put an end to a practice that had j encouraged the use of all surplus ; money instead of keeping it intact in its proper fund and thereby | permitting a reduction in that fund i for the following year. Senate bill No. 200 requires county commissioners, if their expenditures amount to more than

$350 a month from easoline and license fees, to ask for sealed bids on materials and equipment and to let the contract to the lowest and best bidder. If the contract is not awarded to the lowest bid-j der the commissioners must state their reasons in writing in a public record. A companion bill is House bill No. 41, requiring the county councils to meet and appropriate such sums as the countycommissioners plan to spend from gasoline and license money. MuM Have Authority House bill No. 285 provides that local units of government may not spend more than the sums appropriated in their budgets unless they have authority from the state board of tax commissioners to make such extra expenditures. Some other new measures, which were not a part of the Indiana Taxpayers association program, but which affect the taxpayers generally. include Senate bill No. 142, placing current and former delinquencies. on a flat penalty basis. It continues the 8 per cent penalty on delinquencies, provides that old delinquencies may be paid without

interest this year and sets up a way whereby old delinquencies , may be paid in sixteen installments Tlie interest accruing thereon becomes a part of the tax and all becomes due if one installment is missed. * Time Is Extended House bill No. 322 extends the time for certifying assessments for ■ review and reassessment from the third Monday in August to the first I day in November and provides pro- | vides for a rehearing on application of a taxpayer whose assessment was (hanged during the fourfh session. It permits the equal- j ization orders to be made any year affecting real estate the same as i personal property and it does away with convening local boards of review in special session. House bill No. 204 repealed the law providing fort Tie assessment of real estate every four years, postponed all real estate assess-! ments until 1937, and permits the state boartj of tax commissioners to deal with real estate assess-1 ments on their individual merits.! Changes, either to increase or lower assessments on real property I may be made at any time. RECEIVE SEED
