CENT INCREASE IS EXPECTED IN COUNTYTAXES Budget Calls for 32.5 Levy to Cover Sinking Fund, Road Fund Boost. An increase of 1 cent on each SIOO valuation in the county tax levy seemed likely today as Harry Dunn, auditor, finished compilation of tentative budgets. Recommending a total of 32.5 cents, or a 1 cent increase over last year, Dunn will submit his estimates to the county council Sept. 4 for final approval, before going to the State tax board. The boost is made up of a onehalf cent increase in the sinking fund and one-half in the free gravel road fund, both of which still will be in a precarious financial position. Dunn said. The figures released today are for county expenses only. By the time the city rate of approximately $1.15, the school levy. State and other special levies are added, the total Center township rate for next year will be somewhat higher than the $2.64 of this year, it is believed. Figures of Dunn are subject to revision by the county council, and councilmen’s knives are being sharpened already in anticipation of the cuts demanded at the annual budget meeting. County estimates, as recommended today to the council by Dunn, are as follows, compared with this year: 1927-28 1928-29 General fund $.148 $.145 Sinking fund 12 .125 Free grave! roads 925 .03 T B. hospital 025 .025 Total * $315 $.325 The total to be raised for the general fund Is $1,469,925. Subtract from this the $310,000 estimated income from certain offices, and the amount to be raised by taxation is $1,159,065. The 14.5-cent levy for general found will raise $1,131,000. or approximately $28,000 less than the anticipated needs. Dunn recommends that the $28,000 be reduced from the estimated expenditures plus enough to account for the failure of the treasurer to collect taxes 100 per cent. Past experience has shown that only about 95 per cent of taxes are collected. Therefore, unless the council cuts far below the '28,000, probably to $60,000. there will be no balance, causing the county to operate on expensive short term loans. The margin in the sinking fund

Plane Uses the Street

With its wings folded back and Its propeller whirring, this airplane paraded down the main street of Milwaukee, Wis., the other day as part of a campaign to increase the use of the air mail. This ship was loaded with air mail at the postoffice; then, escorted by policemen, it taxied to the airport, wheer it spread its wings and took off for Chicago.

demands and Income is just as close, while the demands on this fund cannot be altered. From it are paid interest on outstanding indebtedness and indebtedness at maturity. The 12.5 cent levy, or .5 more than last year, will bring in $975,000, while the demands total $974,490.95. In an effort to avo ,H a deficit in this fund at the end of the current fiscal year, Dunn is having to transfer funds from other departments. The two funds passed on by the county commissioners, Cassius L. Hogle, George Snider and Charles O. Suton, are the free gravel road and the sheriff's budget request. Both already have felt the knife. Sheriff Omer Hawkins’ request for sixteen additional deputies at $1,750 a year each, was cut out by the commissioners, his budget remaining just what it was last year, plus one additional stenographer. The total this year will be $33,000, while last year it was $32,100. The gravel road fund, although now 5 more than last year, was cut below what commissioners believe It, should be. Last year they sought to make this figure 5 cents, but the council cut it to 3, and the State tax board even lower.

SINCLAIR FACES NEWJL SUIT Claims Share in Teapot on Old Trust. Bv Times Special WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—Harry F. Sinclair’s long journey through the Federal courts is not yet ended. Within the past few days he has been ordered to pay the Government interest on his profits from Teapot Dome while he held it, and Colonel Zevely’s widow has filed suit against him. Now anew case has come before the United States Supreme Court in which claim is made to one-seventh interest in Sinclair’s mammoth oil company. H. Leslie Parker of New York is asking the Supreme Cour’ to reverse the decisions of lower Federal courts and find that a forty-year-old location of lands on what was later Teapot Dome naval oil reserve, is still valid and was not cleared away when Harry Sinclair bought up the Belgo-Pioneer claims to the property and thought he had secured all that were outstanding.
