COUNCIL 0. K. FOR MAXIMUM 1 TAXEXPECTED Shows Favor to Larger Budget for Elevation, Street Projects. Edward W. Harris, council finance chairman, today indicated city council will favor the maximum tax levy for the city thoroughfare plan, track elevation and street resurfacing. Harris said t,be finance committee Is anxious to begin study of the 1929 budget as soon as Sterling R. Holt, city controller, passes on the departmental estimates. Maximum levies are: Thorouhfare plan, 3 ‘cents; track elevation, 6 cents, and resurfacing fund, 5 cents. ' Indications are that Slack’s administration will ask that the tax levy will /be increased over last year’s figure. Council probably will be asked to pass a $60,000 bond issue to pay architects and an enineer for the hospital building program Monday night. Expect to Raise $400,000 M. N. Beebe, track elevation engineer, said he believed the maximum 6-cent levy for track elevation, which will raise more than $400,000 will be sufficient to pay the city’s share of 34 per cent on the first year’s progrant of the Belt Railroad. Beebe estimated the Belt will spend about $1,500,000 the first year on the $12,000,000 elevation program between W. New York St. and English Ave. The Belt agreed to start the south side elevat’on project within thirty days after widening and dredging of White River is begun. The railroad has ten years to finish program. Probe Duvall Contract The contract for widening, and dredging of White River between Morris and Raymond St., which was let to C. E. Jefferson for $497,000 by the Duvall administration board of works is being investigated by the city legal department, according to Ernest F. Frick, works board secretary. If the contract is found legal the works board probably will ask council to pass a bond issue, confirming the contract. The legal staff also is checking the National Concrete Company contract of $268,000 for lengthening Morris St. bridge. Beebe said $288,000 raised by a 3cent levy in 1928 and $134,000 due from Marion County probably will pay the city’s share of the Pennsylvania and Baltmiore & Ohio elevation between Cruse and State Sts.

dustrial arts director, $3,600, and rehabilitation aid, $3,000. Names of many candidates have been received by Wisehart. To complete the work upon the high school curriculum, a special session of the executive committee, composed of fifteen high school principals and superintendents, has been called for Tuesday at the Hotel Lincoln by Virgil Stinebaugh, State high school inspector, placed in active charge of the course of study program. Tuesday’s meeting will make the final decision upon the program to be adopted, which then will be presented to the school board at the

special meeeting, Stinebaugh declared. Question of revocation of Gladden’s license came up when the school board investigated charges that he illegally had issued a teaching license to Fay Green, T,exington girl.) The matter was dropped when he announced he would resign May 15. The topic came up again when it was rumored he would be given a position as aid to Miller, who made him assistant State superintendent when Miller was elected to the superintendency. Miller, however, denied that he was considering

Gladden for a position and the matter again was dropped. Appointment of Gladden by Miller to the Indianapolis post latqr was a surprise; in view of Miller’s previous statements, and individual board members have discussed the desirability of taking action on the license.
