Without a PWA grant it will be practically a financial impossibility i to build a Junior-senior high school building of the site and utility which school and civil authorities | had in mind for Decatur, tinder the law the school city can bond itself for two percent of the city's assessed valuation, which limit would produce a bond fund of ap--1 proximately $90,000. The building ' planned here would have cost from : $250,000 to $300,000. The school! board may be faced with the ne/ cessity of building a new yvard building, the expenditure K'Omlng within the bonding powy/s of the ’ community. > —, — A Housing Authority, operating under the provisions of the state Slum Clearatyfe law, could do . good work/- if its own bonds on housing u/rojects could be sold and the organization formed. Decatur not have a slum district In *fhe meaning of slums as exist in large cities, but it is possible to construct small houses to replace makeshift places and inadequate housing facilities found in the north and south parts of town. The whole function lies with the Housing Authority and it would at least be worth the effort to make investigation and see what could be done in providing sanitary places for people of small incomes. The Housing Authority is established by the council passing a resolution declaring for the need of such an agency and requesting the mayor to appoint a board of commission- ; ers. Grants from the PMfA will be discontinued, President Roosevelt has announced. The country has recovered to such an extent, the President declares, that local communities can finance their own public works programs and the federal government will no ’longer donate money to such projects as municipal power plants, sewage disposal plants and school houses. The decision means that the petition of ’ the Decatur school board for a grant to build a new high school will be turned down and that if any building program is carried out it will have to be financed locally. The PWA made it possible for many communities to construct new buildings and make public improvements. It stimulated the building trades and put thousands of men to work at a time whenthe country needed activities of this kind. The city of Decatur received a grant of $49,800 on the power plant improvement and had one of $52,000 offered for a sewage disposal plant. o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two 1.

GIVES REPORT' ON PROCEDURE ‘‘Dumping’’/ Os Paroled Convict* On Other States Is Condemned / ludiamdpolis, Sept. 23 — (U.R) — The practice of "dumping" paroled I conjticts by one state upon another | was vigorously condemned today L-’in a report of the American bar, association's committee on criminal procedure which will be pre- ‘ sented at the group’s annual meeting in Kansas City. Mo., next 1 week. Philip Lutz, Jr., former attorneygeenral of Indiana and chairman of the committee on criminal procedure. made public contents of the report. “The present practice of dumping paroled convicts by one state , upon another is a national disgrace and this growing problem of super-| vising the Ilves of parolees in its ' effect upon crime is one to challenge the best efforts of legislators j and enforcement agencies." the. report said. “The crime problem is national, not local. Only by co-ordinated efforts may real progress be made in the attack on crime as a social problem." “An interstate compact law Is one of the most important statutes any state may enact affecting the | problem of crime. It deals not only with that most important sanction which the criminal law employes, namely that of punishment, by modernizing, liberalizing and humanizing it by probation and parole, but Its chief aim is that of attacking crime at its most vulnerable point — the prevention of crime." “Under the uniform compact I recommended, no state may dump | its parolees or probationers upon | another state without the consent of that state, and that state musi agree to give to the parolees the same standard of supervision and rehabilitation services that it gives its own parolees and probationers.” The committee also attacked federal and state laws permitting “the public spectacle of legal executions.” "Public sentiment should be aroused to condemn public legal executions just as it has been aroused against public lynchings.” the committee's report said "Public sentiment must be the life and reason of all our criminal laws and we cannot urge too strongly its value and cultivation in the furtherance of the administration of justice and the progress of society. ' "A state might have the best criminal laws of any state in the union, but unless there is a fair and honest administration on the part of officers and juries, backed by public sentiment, these laws are a nullity."
