NEW TAX LEVY PREPARED FDR CERTIFICATION Rate Next Year Will Be $1,055 —Passed at Special Session. Joseph L. Hogue, city controller, today was preparing the 1925 citytax levy- and budget for certification to county auditor Harry Dunn, following its passage Monday night by tne city council in special session. TT?e levy of $1,055 on each SIOO of ■ aS*Me property was passed after a caucus by councilmen and a brief discussion v,n the floor. The budget ordinance calls for an expenditure of 54,135,047.6S for the city next year. The tax rate this year is 51.0575 or 53.25 higher than next year’s rate will be. Two efforts of Councilman Lloj'd D. Claycombe to amend the section establishing the sanitary board tax levy failed, those opposing pointing out that they vdid not want to alter Mayor Shank's figures on the cost of city government. Two Efforts Made Claycombe first moved to add a cent to the sanitary board levy which the mayor had reduced 2.5 cents. Councilmen Ira L. Bramblett and John E. King voted favorable, but It was lost by negative votes of President Walter W. Wise. Otto Ray, Ben H. Thompson and Theodore J. Bernd. Claycombe immediately submitted another amendment which would cut the general fund from 58 to 57 cents and give the extra cent to the sanitary board. In this motion only Councilman King supported him. Following this the levy and budget were passed unanimously. “I am told by Frank Lingenfelter, city engineer, that the new sewage and garbage disposal plant cannot be operated uless the sanitary board i is given more money,” said Claycombe. By-Producets Net 88(1,000 Councilman Ray said he learned the board received SBO,OOO a year from by-products of garbage which was not shown in their budget. He j also supported Major Shank's con- ! tention that increased property val- ■ uation would give the board more | monej- on the same levy as this ! year. "If all departments could operate this year, they can do it next year,” said Councilman Bernd. “What we need is full time among employes we now have.” The N'ew Levy The new levy follows: General city purpose 5 5g City sinking lund j)7 Police pension 005 Firemen pension 005 School health 01 Park general 07 j Park ditsrict bond fund 'ri4s !

THIRD DOWNTOWN SAFE IS ROBBED

Regina Corporation Loses $54 to Yeggmen, While detectives still were investigating the Charles Holloway & Sons office and Solomon's restaurant safe breakings of Sunday night, another looting of a strong box in a downtown building was reported today. James Mahon, 1103 N. Keystone Ave., sales manager for the Regina Corporation, 485 Centurj' Bldg., said §54.96 was taken b>- j'eggmen who pried off the top of a small safe. The robbers overlooked S4OO in a lower cofnpartment. This job bore some similarity to the Solomon robbery, where a bole was chiselled in the back of the safe. Mahon said the fact that entrance was gained by shaking a back window, thereby unlocking it, led him to believe someone familiar with the office was involved in the robbery. Auto Left on Rims W. D. Bushong, Esther apartments, Thirty-Second St. and Central Ave., reported to police todaj' that four tires, valued at $250, were stolen from his machine Monday night.

COUZENS FIGHTS TO RETAIN SEAT IN U. S. SENATE * Regular Republicanism and Klan Figure in Michigan Primary, By Vnitcd Press DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 9.—Coolidge policies ahd prohibition were the chief issues as Michigan Republicans went to the polls today to choose between Senator Couzens, c andidate for renomination, and Federal Judge Arthur J. Tutle, who is'sponsored by most of the regular Republican leaders and 'The anti-Saloon League. Governor Alex J. Groesbeck seeking a third term against six opponents was alio the storm center of a red hot political fight and several Congressmen had contests on their hands, but Couzens controversy \Vith Secretary Mellon and his indirendent attitude in Congress have m/le his fight for re-election of national as well as State-wide interest. Want Coolidge Man Tutle and the Coolidge supporters j are calling upon the voters to send a staunch administration man to Washington. Senator Couzens has announced his intention of voting the CoolidgeDawes ticket, but he continues to insist on his right to use his own ;udgm©nt in Congress. He will be loj'al to the President and his party as long as they are loyal to the people, he says. Klan Involved The Anti-Saloon League and other dry organizations are behind Judge

Tutle and are fighting Couzens with considerable zest because of the Senator’s acvocacy of old-fashioned beer and his emphatic statements th#t prohibition has failed to prohibit. The Ku-Klux Klan also Is said to have swung over to Tutle from his erstwhile candidate, Daniel W. Tusslng, Larsing manufacturer.
