Mr. Fesler stateß that the county commissioners passed a resolution giving him the power to allow the claims of the elecfion inspectors and Judges The commissioners have not signed each claim as the law requires and the claims have not been entered on the claim docket, Mr. Fox states. The total cost of the election will be approximately $35,000 when all the claims have been received. Auditor Fesler stated. LEAVES CLAIMS ON DESK. When Mr. Fox terminated his duties with the commissioners as bailiff last night, claims totaling approximately $8,933.04, all of which had been allowed by Auditor Fesler but not a one bearing the signature of a single commissioner, were on the desk of the bailiff.

Levy, 24, and Beatrice and Leona Davis from beneath an overturned automobile at New York and Noble streets, at 12:15 o'clock this morning, they also rescued a quart bottle half full of whisky.

CHANGED FIRE RATING FOR CITY HINGES ON 2 IFS (Continued From Page One.) already should have done to enjoy thirdclass rating. NO ASSURANCE OX FOUR POINTS The Improvements for which the board said It could not give the underwriters definite enough assurance to claim the 133 points Involved were: 1. Establishment of a properly equipped repair shop In a building separate from any of the present fire houses. 2. Increase In the number of fire alarm circuits and extension of tho underground cable system as soon as p >ssible. 3. More drastic building laws. 4. More drastic ordinances relative to the handling and storage of explosives and Inflammables. At the spue time that the underwriters offered their criticism of the purchase of more motor apparatus than Is actually needed, to the estimated extent of $75,000, which was at the'Tuesday afternoon conference, they recommended that three present fire houses be abandoned lnstend of two new ones added as the board of safety contemp'ates. Felix M. McWhirter, member of the board of safety, today argued that the new fire houses are badly needed, citing the fact that from Jan. 7, 1918, to date permits for building to a total valuation of $32,227,700 have been Issued in Indianapolis The estimated value of the contents of the buildings erected is double that cf the structures themselves, he said, so that the total fire hazard valuation, of the city must have been raised f1b0.000.000 since Jan. 7, 1918.

WHAT BOARD SAYS IT CAN DO. The Improvements which the board of safety agreed are practicable at this time and which, if fully put into effect would reduce the city’s demerits to 1,125, are are follows; Strict conformation by the Indianapolis Water Company to the standards of the underwriters a to water mains, plugs, valves, etc. Appointment of a master mechanic. (Already In effect.) Increase in number of battalion chiefs to provide four on duty, both day and night Establishment of department training school for all firemen. Increase of membership of department to 214 day shift and 294 night shift when two-piatoon system goes into effect. Motorization of department, discontinuance of four compjntes aud provision for eight pieces of re*rve apparatus t Motorization now in progreA, but to greater extent that underwriter* deem wise at this time.) Strict conformity to underwriters’ standards for hose, principal requirement of which is that every hose wagon be equipped with at least 200 foot of three-inch hose. Department purchase 8,000 feet of hose ennu-Uy and teat H*me frequently. That in the operation of the department methods outlined by underwriter* be more strictly adhered to. That arrangement for companies to respond to alarms be changed so that less be required to make runs than at present, the reduction, however, not to be so great as to injure efficiency. Better ventilating system for fire alarm headquarters in city hail, and Improvements in equipment for same. Increase number of fire alarm boxes and indicate name with red paint for day and red lights for night. Test all fire alarm boxes monthly and after every electrical atorm, and increase the force of linemen. Make the ordinance prohibiting woodem shingle roofs on new buildings or in case of repairs more effective. The board could not claim the full number of credits allowed for accomplishment of many of the above improvements because it could not see fit to promise to go the full length recommended by the insurance mem. In some cases, however, the board demonstrated to the satisfaction of the underwriters that they have done, or will do, aa much or more than is desired.

‘FARMER TODAY A BUSINESS MAN’ Miller Cites Changing Status to implement Men. That the farmer of today Is becoming more and more of a business man, was pointed but by Dick Miller, In his talk on "The Banker, the Farmer, the Implement Merchant and Their Relations,” at today's session of the fourth annual convention of the Indiana Implement Dealers’ Association, at the Clay pool Hotel. He further expressed the belief that the farmer, as time passes, will use more ami more credit In his business —and that this was a credit to which the farmer was entitl and as a producer of new wealth. In his address on ‘‘Advertising as Applied to the Retail Implement Dealer,” J. C. Feeley of snid that "w actually realized ‘for the first time the Indispensable part that the farmer played In our existence three years ago, when Herbert Hoover asked us to conserve wheat bread. We knew for the first time that If It wasn't for the farmer a lot of us would starve to death.” He spoke of the relationship of the farm paper to the farmer and the implement dealer, and said he was sure all his auditors realized there is still ample room for a closer coupling up between the manufacturer, the farm pape.r and the dealer, and then touched upon the various features of this cooperation. Other speakers during the morning session were: Ernest Cohn of this city, on “The Force of Advertising,” and George R. Wilson, whose subject was “Insurance.” The program for the afternoon’s session included the following addresses: “The Relation of Agriculture to Business," ty John Napier Dyer of Vincennes; “The Tractor and Tractor Farming as Viewed by the Farm Extension Department of Purdue University,” by Professor Atkenhead of Purdue University, and ‘‘The County Agent,” by T. A. Coleman of Purdue University. There will be a dinner tonight at which the principal speaker is to be Charles A. Bookwalter. One of the interesting addresses of Wednesday afternoon’s session was on “The Field of Agricultural Engineering and Its Relation to the Tractor and Implement Industry," illustrsted with stereoptlcon views by Prof. O. W. Molt dealt with a nurnher of experiments Cuen of Ohio State University, that have been carried out through the agricultural department of the university, relative to the use of tractors, various farming Implements, types of barns and silos and various other forms of farm equipment. The experiments were 'argely carried on, It was explained, through the arousing of Interest among farming communities by representatives of the agricultural department of the university. E. E. Whaley, manager of the sixth national tractor show, which will be held at Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 7 to 12, 1921, and John Shultz of Worcester, Ohio, spoke of the tractor show; of the arrangements that have been made for It. and how it would be of benefit not only to the farmers but also to the Implement dealers. It wns explained that In addition to the exhibits there would be lectures by experts.

CLAIM $75,000 STATE SAVING ONPURCHASES (Continued From page One.) ape batteries, cereal foods, robber goods, packing, auspenders. compressed yeast, farm machinery, etc. It Is estimated that under these yearly contract* made by the subcommittee, the institution* will expend for supplies a sum In excess of $920,000, which supplies, if purchased by institutions individually, as the needs arose, would coat a total sum of more than *1,008.250.

The State of Indlann, it la believed, 1* the only State in the Union now manufacturlng all of its tobacco, both scrap, smoking and plug, for State Institutions and distributing same free of tax. FEATURE ADVANTAGE OF CASH DISCOUNTS "The committee featured the advisability of tho State taking advantage of cash discounts whereupon the subject was taken up with the Governor and finance board and tho result was that all superintendents were furnished with sufficient contingent fund to enable tliem to take advantage of cash discount* offered. It is thought the saving that will be made to the State by reason of this arrangement will amount to at least $20,000. "The total expenses of the committee for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 1920, including salaries of the secretary, aten. ogrnphers, office supplies and equipment and traveling expenses were $10,494,101 "It is the plan of the committee to take over for purchase such article* as it can buy with a Having to the Institutions, bearing in mind, at ail times the question of convenience and service to the institutions Involved. “The experience of an#her year Justlfies the existence of the Joint purchasing committee and the wisdom of the law creating it. The committee frankly states that the success of Its operations is largely due to the cooperation of the officers of all of the institutions represented and Interested.” Members of the ftp rebasing committee are: Dr. S. E. Smith, superintendent Eastern Hospital for Insane; C. A.
