Seek to Rezone Street “I made no reference to the Indianapolis Power and Light Company in the speech and received no pay for the talk- I have never been a booster for that organization, but rather a severe critic of it.” On motion of Robert M. Springsteen, William A. Boyce, Jr., city clerk, entered Nicholson’s remarks in the record. “I am sure that I represent the I entire council when I say w T e regret your name has been connected in | such an unfortunate and unfair! w'ay,” said President Edw'ard B. | Raub.

Lauds Daily us Leader "Our State ticket with Frank C. Daily at its head was assured of success immediately upon its nomination. The same is true with reference with our candidate for United States Senator, Albert Stump. “The many frenzied conferences of Republican leaders with respect to the situation in Indiana and the deep concern that they are manifesting is conclusive evidence that they consider this State, heretofore regarded by them as safely in their fold, as doubtful territory and a battle ground.” Fights Bomb Conviction Bn Times Special CROWN POINT, Ind., July 3.

I was the prosecutor then. The soldier told his story to the jury, which I had already put wise to my prank. Several laughs were' muffled as other veterans testified and named suspects. Finally the veterans took on a wary attitude and the papers were playing the story so I thought I had better replace the cannon,” the judge continued. “I secretly replaced it, but It was a long while before it w-as safe for me to tel), the story.” Ignore Fast Time Rule Bn Times Special SHELBYVILLE, Ind, July 3. council here proposes, but the citizens dispose.

ATTACKS STATE’ TAX BOARD FOR SCHOOL DELAY City Group Protests Lack r of Action on Bonds for Tech High. Denunciation of the State board of tax commissioners may be shouted from "the stump” and before civic, clubs by school board members in an effort to bring public pressure to work on “dilatory lactics” of thj tax board, the school commission"”s said heatedly at their special meT--ing late Monday. Commissioner Charles W. Kern led the latest verbal assault on the tax body, protesting its delay in approving or rejecting the school board’s request for a $2i5,000 bond issue for construction of Technical High School auditorium. “The bids have been before them twenty-three days,” Kern said, “and there is no justification fpr their delay. They don’t have the mentality of a bunch of school boys.” Brown said that he didn't care to < comment on this latest outburst/ that the tax board would continue to function as it has in the past and refuse to be deterred. 30-Day Period Near End Theodore Vonnegut, school board president, said, “Their delay is in line with their deplorable action on the $600,000 bond issue before them. We hope they get a sense of their increasing unpopularity.” Kern pointed out that unless the Technical auditorium bids and bond issue are approved within the next week, they will fee rejected auto* matically as having gone over the thirty-day period. There was a chorus of assent when he predicted it would be necessary to go before civic clubs and meetings of taxpayers to give the people, “the truth” about the State tax board. Charge Attack Aon City "The tax board,” Kern said, ‘has raised the bugaboo of C. C. Shipp in an attempt to mislead the public and justify their attitude in rendering no decision. There is not 5 cents worth of Shipp’s materials going into the new auditorium.” "They're just doing wha r they can to knock Indianapolis and retard its progress,” was Vonnegut's parting shot. The school commissioners adopted the budget for the last six months of 1928 in preparation for a switch from the inconvenient fiscal year to the calendar year. School property will suffer by the ! State tax board's insistence on a | low levy for the special school fund ! declared Kern, budget committee j chairman. Repair Budget Low “We can not hope to begin the school year of 1929 with school property in as good physical condition as it was-at the beginning of 1923.” The budget carried approximately $157,000 for summer repair program, which will meet about one-third cf needed repairs, Albert E. Wabmrn, business director, said. The six months’ budgeet provides for expenditures of $4,123,986.70. The special fund for general expenses pr0vide552,115,359.7-1; $209,421 is listed for maintenance and public libraries; $1,783,205.99 for tuition or teachers’ salaries, and $21,000 for free kindergartens.
