RULES ON ROAD TAXES Gilliom Opinion Deprives Highway Commission of Daily Interest. Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom today issued an opinion that the State highway commission is not entitled to depository interest on daily credit balances of the gasoline tax, automobile license fees and Federal aid collections, all of which make up the highway fund. The opinion was issued for John D. Williams, highway director. The opinion also held that $318,375.08 in inheritance tax collected by the county treasurers prior to Oct. 1, 1925. but not paid into the State treasury until after that date could not be credited to the highway fund. On that date the highway fund was separated from the State general fund.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

NEW PLAN FOR SEWAGE PLANT OFFERS SAVING v Delivery From Broad Ripple Given Consideration by Consulting Engineer. Anew plan for delivering sewage from Broad Ripple and surrounding far north territory to the city sewage disposal plant, at a saving of hundreds of thousands of dollars, has been prepared for the city sanitary board by Charles H. Hurd, consulting engineer. Months ago Hurd presented two plans: One to build a separate seweer connecting the northern territory with the sewage disposal plant in the far southeastern section of the city; the other to build a separate disposal plant in Broad Ripple. The first pain was estimated to cost $700,000; the second* approximately $500,000. The board has not acted upon this report. Hurd’s substitute plan would care for the north side problem for ten years. It would cost about $200,000. After ten years further construction would be necessary, if the city grew "at its present rate. The substitute plan is to connect the far north sewers with the Fall Creek and West Indianapolis interceptors, which now carry the sewage fom the rest of the city. This would work well for ten years, or until the load from the far north became too heavy for the size of the present main drains, the engineer believes. Hurd also believes it eventually will be necessary to construct a separate sewer system along Kessler Blvd. and Little Eagle Creek, leading to the disposal plant, as the Kessler Blvd. neighborhood, now practically unsettled, becomes populated.

FLOOD CONTROL COST IS CAUSE OF ARGUMENTS Coolidge Favors Assessing States 20 Per Cent; Congress Differs. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Frees Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—The real issue which has developed over Mississippi flood control legislation is whether the Government shall bear the whole cost or require the States to share at least 20 per cent of it. Fundamental differences have developed between the White House and leaders of Congress on that point. President Coolidge and the Army engineers be’ieve the States concerned should pay part of the cost for flood protection. The opposite view has considerable strength in Congress. Representative Frank R. Reid of Illinois, chairman of the House Flood Control Committee, introduced a bill Wednesday providing that the Government pay the entire cost. Reid, who has given much study to flood control and has thoroughly investigated conditions on the scene, agrees with the Army engineers on their engineering recommendations. The only issue concerns the method of financing the work. , The Army engineers estimate the levees, spillways and other work required would cost $296,400,000, covering a ten-year period. Adjacent States paid one-third of the cost of the old levees and President Coolidge believes that the States should share at least 20 per cent of the cost of rebuilding them. The White House explained this week that the amount it is proposed to assess to the States would amount to about 30 cents an acre a year for ten years. President Coolidge recently stated cities and towns has an average value of more than S2OO an acre. He regards the 30-cent levy as trivial, the White House said. In his message he said that “the Government is not an insurer of its citizens against the hazard of the elements,’’ and that there would always be disasters of nature.

CLEMENCY FOB BOY Brain Operation on Youth Believed Successful. A thirty-day extension of parole has been granted Emmett Brownlee, 18, of 1158 Eugene St., by Governor Ed Jackson. The youth was granted thirty days’ liberty from Nov. 25, when he was paroled to allow Dr. Albert E. Sterne to operate on his skull to remove pressure believed to have caused criminal tendencies. The operation is believed successful and in order to keep him in his home environment under the observation of Dr. Sterne the Governor granted additional clemency. * Brownlee was convicted in the Marion Criminal Court, Sept. 30, 1926, of automobile banditry and was sentenced to serve from three to five years; and one to fourteen years for vehicle taking. Summer A. Clancy, Indianapolis attorney, thought the boy’s actions peculiar and learned upon investigation that he had been in an automobile accident and an examination revealed that a portion of his skull pressed against the brain. Since his operation Brownlee has resumed his studies at School No. 41, Thirtieth and Rader Sts., in the seventh grade and according to Clancy is making excellent progress.

SEEK TO GUARD BANKS DEPOSITS' No. 3 Head—See Puzzle— Congressman Would Protect All National Funds. BY DEXTER M. KEENER WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—A law to insure depositors against losses in national bank failures will be pressed at this session of Congress, according to Congressman Edgar Howard of Nebraska. He is one of a number who have lntrodufced bills to give depositors protection similar to that provided for depositors in State banks in several States. Last year, according to the Federal Reserve Board, 125 national banks, with a total deposits of $47,866,000, suspended operations. There Is no law governing the insurance of depositors in such banks. “In Nebraska,” Howard said today, “no depositor in a State bank has lost a dollar in seventeen years. I have modelled my plan for guaranteeing national bank deposits on the present Nebraska law.” Congressman Charles Brand, Democrat, of Georgia, also has introduced an amendment to the Federal Reserve Bank providing for the insurance of national bank deposits. “The small banks are favorable to a plan,” Howard said today, “but the larger banking institutions are generally opposed to it. Recently, however, there have been indications that some of the larger banks awe pot as hostile as they were fornerly.”
