1922 STATE Fill OPENS AS lECGA FOB THOUSANDS Huge Out-State Crowds Expected by Middle of This Week. SHOW HOUSEHOLD DEVICES Record Live Stock Displays on Grounds Will Parade Animals Tonight. FAIR SERVICE Officials of the Indianapolis Street Railway announced today that transportation service between the city and the State fairground would be maintained over the Illinois. Central and College Ave. routes, the cars being routed across Fairfield Ave. from Thirty-Fourth St. Just as many cars as are needed to care for the crowds will be pressed into service, officials said. Uninterrupted city service on points north of Thirty-fourth St. will be maintained. Thousands of Indianapolis and many out-of-town people swarmed to the fairground this morning on street cars, by automobile and afoot, for the opening of the annual State fair. The usual gang of small boys, who had “walked across the Monon bridge," spanning Fall Creek, in order to get to the grounds before the guards were posted were disappointed when they found old holes In the fences patched and diligent special policemen on the grounds to prevent their slipping In. Crowds from over the State are not expected until the middle of the week. A large number of farmers, however, drove to the grounds with their families and large hampers of lunchon prepared to spend the day in looking at farm machinery calculated to make the work of the farmer easy. The fanners’ wives were interested in the electrical washing machines, Irons, vacuum sweepers, lighting plants and other appliances for modernizing the home. The farmers' children roamed the rows upon rows of automobiles, obtaining for an attack on dad to make him trade In the old one on anew one. The Midway was thronged early with persons wishing to see the bearded lady, the snake eater, the diving maidens and the dwarf family.

Hawkers Cry Wares Hawkers cried their wares; babies squalled; small boys got lost; little girls cried for a balloon; in fact, the fair la on. The "hot dog” and the pink lemonade and other concoctions, cotton candy and other things which every one eat3 and because of which every one feels upset the next day, were sold everywhere. The pungent smell of tan bark and the odors of the stable arose from the rebuilt horse bams, which are filled with thoroughbreds valued at $1,000,000. The straw strewn over the ground in the sheep and pig exhibition buildings is not yet damp, muddy and clinging. Sellers of patent medicines, belts and buttons, kewple dolls and "sewveneers” are not In evidence. A ruling of the board of agriculture prohibits them from infesting the grounds this year. One of the features of the many exhibits is that of the school in domestic science, composed of one girl from each of the ninety-two counties of the State. Classes are held in the Womens’ building, under the direction of Mrs. Bert Llndley of Salem. Poultry Exhibit Fine The facilities for display of fancy k poultry were Increased 100 per cent I last year.

The proposed 1923 budget and tax levy for the civil city will either bo heavily cut or blocked altogether tonight, councilmen predicted today. ■While councilmen said they thought ' the value of the Chamber of Commerce recommendations for cuts totalling $136,000 was reduced by the fact the civic affairs committee did not interview officials before formulating the suggestions. It was understood they may be followed to some extent by those who want to wield the ax. Another group of councilmen talked of gathering enough votes to block passage of the appropriation and levy ordinances. This would leave the 1922 levy in effect through 1923. Department heads said this would mean chaos. Councilmen said the city would worry through somehow and city taxes would not be Increased. Controller Joseph L. Hogue recommended a levy of $1,061, which, on the estimated valuation of $597,900,000. would produce $6,045,780. The present levy is 91.7 cents, which, on the 1022 valuation of $592,818,300. is estimated to produce $5,319,670, or $726,110 less than the proposed total for 1923.
