CONTRACTS TO BE PRESENTED Contracts For New Rural Electric Line To Be Presented Council Contracts of ac proximately 33 farmers will be presented by George Stutts, chairman of the electric light ; committee, for approval at the regular meeting of the city council this evening. The extension to the city municipal light and power company’s rural electric light system will be eight and one half miles anil will make the total of the rural lines exceed ■7B miles. The new line begins at the Piqua read about a mile and a quarter south of the southeast corner of Belmont park and extends east to the Ohio state line. Virtually every potential customer has been signed. Under the rural policy now in effect the farmers who expect to use the lines do most of the labor themselves. purchase the .poles, wires jolts cross arm and other equipment. When completed the lines are given to the city which agree to maintain them. The members of the city council who compose the electric light committee are George Stulls, (hairman Forrest Elzey and Herman Gillig. Contracts were being signed this morning and the last will be signed this afternoon. The exact cost of l.the lines to the individual rural cusI tomers will not be known until all th# signers are included in general contracts to the city. It is expected that the lines can be energized in less than a week. The poles have been erected and ! all that is necessary is the string- ■ ing of the wires. Details in connection with the I building of this line Were worked i out in the shortest amount of time ever required by an electric light I committee for the local plant. The ! first request was made five weeks ago. The new lines will be one of the longest extensions ever made to the i rural lines. o City Council Will Meet This Evening The regular meeting of the city I council will be held at 7 o’clock this I evening at the city hall. A report on the state rural electric line will probably be made by the ommittee and other busi ness will be transacted. ■ o KNOX ATTACKS THE NEW DEAL . — — Chicago G.O.P.

Elimination of coercion in supervision of business and agriI culture. 4.

TRADE TREATY RECEIVED WITH VARYING VIEWS Both Praise And Criticism Heaped On U. S.-Can-adian Treaty Washington, Nov. 19— (U.PJ — Bouquets and brickbats for the newly-concluded U. S.-Canadlun reciprocal trade treaty were heaped toda.y upon the desk of Secretary of State Cordell Hull. Most ot the bouquets were tossed by administration officials who had a hand in negotiating the agreement, but there were a few faint cheers from the sidelines by representatives of industries whose products are expected to benefit in dollars and cents. The brickbats were from representatives of the northwest lumber industry; the livestock and dairy interests; the American liquor industry, and from Senator Thomas D. Schall. R.. Minn. Both the cheers and complaints were anticipated. In fact, the first cheer, in the form of au official statement by secretary of agriculture Henry A. Wallace outlining the benefits which the administration believes will accrue to American agriculture from the treaty, obviously was prepared in advance, before any kicks were received, to offset possible complaints from agricultural leaders. Wallace said the treaty would benefit “the whole of agriculture" and predicted redpvery of most of the $.’'>5,000,000 decline in United State s agricultural exports to Canada during the past five yeans. He said exports to Canada of American farm products, upon which duty reductions are secured in the treaty, declined from $50,000,000 for the year ending Maxcb 31. 1930. to $15,000,000 during the year ended March 31.

Nov. 19— (U.R) — Free of bonded indebtedness, the Indiana state highway system of approximately 9.000 mileq today represents a capital outlay of be- '' tween $550,000,000 and $600,000,000. The system has been increased Iby 6,000 miles since the state highway commission was established 16 years ago, James D. Adams, present commission chajrman, said. Two highways are the keystones of the Indiana system. One is the National road which was surveyed in ISQ6 — when Thomas Jefferson was president of the United States—across the state through what now are Richmond, Indianapolis, and Terre ! Haute. The other is the Michigan road | —a strip of land 100 feet wide, extending from Lake Michigan to the Ohio river—which was ceded by the Indians to Indiana in 1826. An abundance of road buildihg material, widely distributed over the state, has facilitated highway ■ construction in Indiana, according to Adams. 11 Seventy-one per cent of the (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE)
