CITY WILL NOT WAIT ON STATE BUDGETFORMS Controller Bryson Says Requisitions Will Follow Last Year’s Outline. Preparation of the 11*22 tudget of thf city of Indianapolis will not be held up pending the preparation of the propel forms by the State board of accounts. City Controller Robert H. Bryson said today, following announcement yesterday by Jesse E. Eschbach. chief examiner of the State body, that the provisions of the tax law requiring his board to prepare such forms finally are to be carried out. The controller appeared mildly indignant because the State board Is attempting to tell the city administration how to do something. Mr. Bryson several days ago wrote a letter to the heads of all city departments instructing them to have their departmental budgets in his hands not later than July 27. This notification was given for the reason that the city council must fix the tax levies and adopt the annual appropriation ordinance not later than the first regular meeting In September. Mr. Bryson said he wishes to have the budget, levies and appropriation ordinance in the council's hands early In August, so there will be plenty of t'me for two or three public hearings and for the council to go over the estimates. Item ty item. ~ WEEK FOB STATE BUDGET FORMS. lfr. Eschbach Indicated that It may t&U* men In his force a week or* two to complete the authorized budget forms. Mr. Bryson said the city cannot and will not wait that long. "We wili have the budget prepared upon the form we adopted last year." said the controller. ' This was taken 'o the State board of accounts by the corporation counsel and myself and the accountants approved it. We dop't wUh to do anything antagonistic to the State board, but we cannot hold up our work and wait." Asked If the budget amounts would be transferred to the Stare board 'orms after the department heads submit th*m. In case the State forms are available by that time, Mr. Bryson reoll“d that they might b*. but that he thought the < liy forms are good enough. The announcement of Mr Escbbaoh that the State board, after the adoption cf the 1922 budget by all taxing units in the Sta'e. will refu=> to approve any expenditure not specifically listed therein met with tr expression of opposition from Mr Bryson, who insisted that such a stand is not and cannot be carried out. "We are operating cnder the citv charter, which specifically provides that the city council may transfer funds and mak? additional appropriations after the budget and annual appropriation ordinance have been adopted." he said, indicating further that he d-'es cot believe the State tax law bas changed this, as the chief examiner's decision indicates that the latter holds It has. CANNOT FOLLOW BIDGET STRICTLY. Mr Bryson said that It would be impossible for th“ city to make a badget and follow It strictly through the year *'ExD<-rgencies com-* up which we simply cannot foresee." said Mr. FtAson "We have mad“ a budget In this administration particularly for g-.. .. n-e in making an intelligent apnropriat on ordinance and tax levies, not strictly as a hard and fast outline for expenditures " The Jewett administration claims to he the first that ever had a budget in Indianapolis. Former did n r t figure upon itemized needs of departments In arriving at the amounts to be asked for in the appropriation ordinance, Mr. Bryaop said The department* under Mayor Charles W. Jewett attempted to use a form sent to them by the State board of accounts two years ago. but found them impracticable. Mr. Bryaon said, so the form now in us- was adopted. While the present city government has Inaugurated a budget it hus not taken particular pa.ns to follow it, many thouaands of dollars being appropriated In addition to the amount which the tax levies were intended to cover and moneys being Juggled about in many ways through transfer from fund to fund.

(Statistical Abstract of U. S.) The value of power lost to industry through friction has been estimated to reach the staggering total of §185,000,000 annually. Realizing that friction is an undesirable partner of industry, and feeling its obligation as the leader among manufacturers of lubricants, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has for years maintained a staff of lubricating engineers and lubricating chemists, whose business it has been to consult with industrial engineers to solve for them .their individual lubricating problems as they are presented. The services of these men are given without charge, and the saving effected has been great. When it is realized that every machine presents a friction problem, and thkt eveiy industry, from cotton goods to corn flakes is dependent on proper lubrication for turning out its product efficiently, one function of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) becomes more apparent.

BOND ORDER’S TEETH PULLED Judge Pritchard Annulls Part of Notice Which Would Stop Soliciting Judge Walter Pritchard today "pulled the teeth” from his new bondsman and attorney order posted In the turnkey and matron’s offices at police headquarters to stop soliciting from pria- , oners. The order was Issued by the Judge after a conference with Jerry Kinney, chief of police, and had been In effect but a few days. During that brief period the bondsmen and some city court attorneys found that the order was Inconvenient and Interfered with their money making business. Asa result the bondsmen got busy and "put the rush act on the ludge.~ They came so fast that the court just went to the turnkey's office and scratched enough of the new order out to emasculate It. The order posted in the turnkey's office read. “To the turnkey: Please permit every prisoner awaiting trial or hearing in the city court to request In writing or by mark, If he cannot write, that some friend or attorney or bondsman be called without unnecessary delay.” That part of the order still stands. The remainder of the order which the court scratched out read, "And refuse to permit any bondsman or attorney to communicate with tbe prisoners without the prisoners' written permit. Walter Pritchard, city Judge." The bondsmen came to the Judge so often yesterday asking him to write them a special order to see some prisoner whom the bondsman claimed friends had notified him they wished out on bond, that the court gave up his efforts to stop soliciting.
