ASK CESSATION OF BRITISH RULE Citizens of Irish Descent Listen to Speeches. I£i resolutions recognizing the Irish refUßlic, Indianapolis citizens of Irish descent in their annual picnic, held at Turaar park yesterday, declare that until British rule is abrogated In Ireland the •world -will not have been made safe for democracy. The her. A. W. Allen. Providence, R. 1., an Episcopal clergyman, and D. A. Foley and P. J. Moynlhan of Boston, addressed the picnic crowd. Dr. Allen, in his address, declared that the outcome of the world war was a defeat of the principles for which America fonght, and characterized Sir Edward Carson and his associates as political hypocrites and moral cowards. The resolutions passed were as follows: ‘ Assembled to celebrate the anniversary of the great victory of the Irish army it the battle of Yellow Ford on Lady t ay, 1598, we, the men and women of the Irish race in Indianapolis, as American citizens ar-d lovers of human freedom, send greetings to the Irish republic established by the votes of the Irish people in accordance with the prinf cipl of self-determination. * “We assert that the Irish republic is only prevented from functioning completely by the brute force of the British empire, directed by the English king. “We assert that when such a course as England is now pursuing is permitted there 1* no truth in the legend that the world -as been made safe for democracy; that there is no peace and no possibility of peace, and that the people of Ireland are now, owing to England's own action, compelled to make war on England by every means in their power. "We declare as Americans, mindful ttf the principles of the fathers, of Washington. Jefferson and Lincoln, that ther can be nothing in common between the oppressive British empire and the free American republic, and that there can never be any alliance, understanding or compact or association in which - Afherica can become the associate of such a power as England Has shown hesrself to be. “To this end we urge all our people to oppose to the bitter end for the sake of American independence and the good name oV this republic every effort to cause the United States to enter a league of nations in which Great Britain is in control, as the same would not only bar the door forever to Irish freedom, but would shackle and destroy the Independence of the United States of America."

LOOSE ENDS OF CITY BUSINESS 808 UP TONIGHT (Continued From Page One.) !he equipment, includng the mules, of which forty are hired under a contract like the one which the chief executive termed a “graft" in his campaign speeches be moved there. Members of the council called the mayor's hand on this point last week when they asked why the municipal yard project had never been officially iaid before them. The mayor responded with a statement in the newspaper for which he has found much time in which to act as messenger boy lately, that tbe~council was entirely to blame for the delay because insurgent members had failed to attend confer"ences last summer at which the -project was to have been discussed. This statement aroused the ire of some members and amusement of others. President of the Council Gustav G. Schmidt, whose memory of various moves of the mayor and his close associates is always sharp, due to the repeated efforts of the executive and his cronies to “get something” on him, was particularly amused at Mr. Jewett's charge against the council. “Why,’ said Mr. Schmidt, “we did attend several conferences called by his honor and about the only thing he ever brought up worth mentioning was the raising of the salaries of certain city einployesijn whom he was very much interested." , u CITY HASN’T ENOUGH MONET.

some city officials, more Inclined to be perfectly frank than others, point out the real reason why the south aiders have to suffer through lack of the municipal yards is that the city has not had enough money to perform its ordinary government functions in the last year. This is due to the tangle in the city’s financial affairs as a result of the mistake in the estimation of the valuation of taxables in the city by County Auditor Leo K. Fesler, upon which an insufficient tax levy was based last fall, they state. Being men of families, for the most part, and soft city jobs not being readily available, and being loyal henchmen of Mr. Jewett above all, the frank officials do not go on to state what is undeniably true, namely, that Auditor Fesler and County Assessor Mike Jefferson got involved in their monumental “boner” on the city's tax levy last fall because of the machinations of the James P. Goodrich inspired state tax board. TAX BILL EFFECTS MAY REACH COUNCIL. The far-reaching effects of this tax levy mistake may extend to the council meeting. City Controller Bryson and Mayor Jewett have announced it will be necessary to negotiate another temporary Joan of $550,000 wlth'whieb to meet city bills until January 1, in order that a deficit may not be carried into next year. An ordinance authorizing this may come to the council tonight. The taxpayers, of course, will get to shoulder the burden of this loan next year, since it is planned to Incresao the tax levy sufficiently to repay it. In this connection, Mr. Bryson has also announced that, due to the failure of the county auditor to certify the valuation of taxables so far this year, it will be Impossible to present the city budget and tax levy to tpe council tonight. Under the new and much changed state tax law the council has until Sept.

15 to certify a tax levy back to tb county auditor. The council, however, has earnestly hoped for several weeks that it might get hold of the budget and proposed levy at least a month before it was necessary for it to take final action. Since it is said at the courthouse that A 'sessor Jefferson can not get the tax books back into the hands of the auditor for that official to prepare his certification of values to the city controller within a week, it appears the council will have far less time in which to conduct the searching probe of the manner in which the Jewett administration planned to spend the people's money next year, which it had determined upon. This, of course, is not unwelcome news to the Jewett administration, which Is In the habit of rushing financial matters to ' the council a few days, and in some cases a few hours, before it is necessary, under the law, to take final action. The board of health's proposal to ask for permission to sell $500,000 worth of bonds with which to construct a nurse's home at the City hoslptal probably will not reach the council tonight. The city legal department has been preparing a resolution providing for the bond Issue to be spread on the board of public health records. The health board is not expected to take action on this resolution until its regular meeting tonight. New County Map Shows Change# Anew county map showing the wards and new precincts will lie ready for distribution this week, according to County Auditor Leo K. Fesler.
