FIVE CONTRACTS FOR CITV SCHOOLS READYSATURDAY Overcrowding of Buildings to Be Ended by New Program. With the $1,660,000 bond issue approved by the State tax board, the school board will award contracts for flve school building projects Saturday Bids will be received Nov. 9 on three others. This marks actual resumption of building oj>erations after two years of delay during which thousands of children have attended half-day sessions in make-shift quarters. The bond issue will provide for: New building for school No. 30, at 39 N. Elder Ave. Addition to No. 23, Thirteenth and Missouri Sts. Addition to No. 67, at 3615 W. Walnut St. New building at No. 76, College Ave. and Thirtieth St. Addition and new building at No. 38, Winter and Bloyd Aves. New building at No. 62. E. Tenth and Wallace Sts. New building at No. 70, Forty-Sixth and Central Ave. New building at No. 75. Fourteenth St., and Belle Vleu PI. School officials estimated the entire building program would cost approximately $1,300,000, leaving balance of $300,000. The school board asked the tax board to allow $75,000 of the balance to be set aside for emergency construction purposes. This request was denied, the tax board recomending that the whole of 111? unexpended balance be set aside for that purpose, to be used subject *c approval of the tax board. Decision was reached to eliminate the installation of automatic heat regulations in the buildings, the consensus of opinion being that regulators generally have proved unsatisfactory. This item will result in a considerable saving in the program, school officials said.

On “Day” Basis As the result of a very definite fear that an attempt tb carry through the program mapped out for his tour would cause a breakdown or at least a serious straining of his physical resources. Lloyd George's tour Is today on a "day” basis. Plans are not being made longer than twentyfour hours ahead. Lloyd George and Dame Margaret, his wife, explained the reason he was able to come through the war with Its terrible strain on physical and mental powers without serious impairment of his health was he would often steal away to Wales for a few days and get close to his mother earth. But on this American tour, he finds himself confronted with anew experiences and conditions. He can’t run away. He's hedged in by cheering crowds wherever he goes. The only place he can rest is in a hotel room, whose quiet is disturbed by Bhieking of traffic policemen’s whistles and roar of cities.

THE* INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

NATIONAL GUARD PAY OF $18,937 DELAYEDBY STATE Special Appropriation by Legislature Must Be Made, Belief, Special appropriations will have to be passed at the next session of the Legislature to take care of $18,937.35 In National Guard pay rolls for the period May 1, 1922 to Oct. 1, 1922, vouchers for which have been placed in the hands of State Auditor Robert Bracken by Adjt. Gen. Harry B, Smith. Attorney General U. S. Lesh, in reply to a query by Bracken, has given the opinion that these bills cannot be paid out of current appropriations. Lesh held that vouchers totaling $23,700.48, covering this year's rental on armories, may be honored by Bracken. Asa consequence of Lesh's opinion, State officials were wondering today what provision will be made for P a ying soldiers for the six-month drill period ending Ajjfil 30, 1923, and for the training pay at Camp Knox, Ky., last summer. It was estimated that the drill pay for the period between Oct. 1, 1922, and April 30, 1923, would be equal to the amount of the period following, approximately SIB,OOO, and that the summer camp training pay would approach $60,000. General Smtih today said he was fearful that the soldiers cannot be paid In full until a special appropriation Is made by the Legislature. He said delays In forwarding company pay rolls had been responsible for the failure to file the vouchers sooner. Since adoption of the national defense act by the State, the Federal government has been disbursing drill pay to the guardsmen.

Governor Neff of Texas championed the dry cause and declared the West were trying to raise the States rights Issue which was settled by the Civil War. In the parliamentary melee which followed the introduction of the divergent resolutions. Governor HUzer of New Jersey proposed another resolution charging the Federal Government with lax enforcement of the prohibition laws and quoting from the speech made by Oovemor Plnchot In Washington recently. Finally, all motions before the conference were tabled and Governor Sweet presented his memorial. Upon presentation of the memorial. Governor Blaine walked up to the presiding officer’s desk and turned over the speech he had prepared to deliver on raljroad valuations and State obligations and said that be was through with the conference. “Aye” Votes I Governors voting for the memorial , were: Brandon, Alabama; Sweet, Colorado; Templeton, Connecticut; Denny, Delaware; Handee, Florida; Walker, Georgia; McCray, Indiana; Hammill, (acting Governor) Iowa; Baxter, Maine; Cox, Massachusetts; Hyde, Missouri; Dixon, Montana; Hinkle, New Mexico; Nestos, North Dakota; | Plnchot, Pennsylvania; McMaster, South Dakota; Peay, Tennessee; Neff, Texas; Mabee, Utah; Baxter, Vermont; Trinkle, Virginia; Morgsn, West Virginia: Rosa, Wyoming; Bone, Alaska; Farrington, Hawaii. Two Are Absent Governors Preus of Minnesota, and Groeebeck of Michigan, were absent from the conference when the vote was taken. x The conference was adjourned shortly after noon for the Governors to take the special train for Washington, where they’ will meet President Coolidge, Saturday. Voters have not yet seriously considered the proposed candidacy of Henry Ford for President, the Governors said. Ford, they said, has many stanch friends throughout the country, but there has thus far been no tendency on their part to launch a Ford-for-Presldent boom. This Is due, the Governors believe, to the fact Ford is regarded first and always as a business man and not a

Popular in Northwest “Ford is a popular figure in North Dakota and throughout the Northwest generally,” said Governor Nestos of North Dakota. “However, a presidential boom for him has not yet blossomed.” “Ford has gained popularity among the coal miners of West Virginia by the manner in Which he has operated his mines,” said Governor Morgan, “but that does not imply the miners would be solid for him in a presidential race.” Throughout the South the Ford-for-President proposal has ■ gained little headway. Dixie Governors said. Coolidge for G. O. P. Republican Governors generally believe President Coolidge will make good during the winter and have the unanimous support of the party. It was significant the Republican Governors mentioned no other name in connection with the 1924 presidential race. In New England, particularly, the Coolidge sentiment is strong. ‘The New England States will be solid behind Coolidge,” declared Governor Mabey of Vermont. Governors Cox of Massachusetts, Baxter of Maine and Templeton of Connecticut indorsed Mabey’s remarks. Democratic Governors said the names of Senator Ralston of Indiana, Senator Underwood of Alabama and William Q. McAdoo are being discussed most frequently. Ralston Strong In South “Alabama is behind Underwood, of course,” said Governor Brandon. He said Ralston was next in favor among the Alabama Democrats. Governor McLeod of South Carolina said his State favored Underwood, with McAdoo as a probable second choice. In Tennessee, according to Governor Peay. the Ralston boom has gained considerable strength. The sentiment among Democrats in New Jersey is for Governor A1 Smith of New York, Governor Silzer said. In Texas. Florida. Louisiana, New Mexico and Virginia and many of the northern States there ha# been no particular crystallization of sentiment.
