CITY LEVY IS CUT TO TOTAL OF 65 CENTS Budget Calls for Increase of 1,5 Over Rate for 1929. City council will be asked for a 65-cent. levy for the city general fund, city officials decided today. The request, will be 1.5 cents increase over the 1929 rate, the jump being necessary to meet a raise in interest on outstanding bonds. The 65-cent levy will leave an unbudgeted balance of between $35,000 and $50.00 which can be distributed to the various funds by the city manager commission, which will take office Jan. 1. This balance will enable the new form to meet certain expenditures not included in the 1930 budget under the old form of government, Mayor L. Ert Slack said. No decision has been reached on the total city rate because several special levys are not set for next year, but City Controller Sterling R. Holt indicated the rate will be about $1.16. 8-cent, jumo. Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell recommended appropriation of about $6,000 to equip five fire engine houses with steam heating plants. Voshell originally asked $25,000 to equip seventeen stations which have coal stoves, but agreed to make the change gradual. Some houses have as high as seven stoves. In a letter to Mayor L. Ert Slack, Voshell pointed out the use of stoves in engine houses is in violation of the city ordinance which prohibits an open flame in proximity of gasoline apparatus. Holt slashed Voshell’s request from $1,651,000 to $1,404,000. allowing an increase to provide four extra firemen and SII,OOO for new equipment. Police Chief Claude M. Worley’s budget was cut from sl,402.000 to $1,358,000. reducing the additional policemen from fifty to thirty.

At the present, east-bound New York mail is dispatched to Chicago by air and then re-sent to New York The proposed route through Pittsburgh. Columbus and Dayton. 0.. would give large firms in Indiana, a quick communication system with New York City.

SENATOR RAPS BOOK CENSORS Cutting Flays Action of Treasury Department, By l nited Press WASHINGTON. July 29.—Action of the treasury department in barring such books as Voltaire’s “Candide’ and the unexpurgated English edition of “All Quiet on the Western Front” from entry into this country was critised in a statement made public today by Senator B, M. Cutting <Dem., N. M.). Declaring the exclusion of “Candide” has brought on America the “ridicule of the civilized world,” Cutting said a section of the house tariff bill, now with the Senate, would extend the treasury department’s censorship of books to those considered “seditious and insurrectionary, as well as obscene.” “If this amendment should be interpreted in the same spirit as the original section, it will exclude all advanced political thought, and, in fact, any opinions which do not happen to coincide with those of the inspectors,” Cutting said. “In the long run, the American people can be trusted to take care of their own moral and spiritual welfare, without the aid of any bureaucratic guardians,” he declared.

The s; - 'l government board appointed to select locations for the two authorized narcotic farm prisons will hold its first meeting Tuesday.at the department of justice. The meeting will be for the purpose of formulating a definite policy to govern selections of the sites, according to Dr. Walter Treadway, head of the narcotic division of the United States public health service. who represents the treasury department of the board. Treadway said it is probablp the actual inspection of the several hundred proposed sites will be left to the supervising architect of that department. “Owners of more than 250 pieces of property in all sections of the country have offered to sell us land and unusual interest is being manifested by many Chambers of Commerce and other civic organizations in attempting to lend one of the prisons for their community,” Treadway said. “Our present intention is to have the supervising architect draft a set of specifications and advertise for bids on all properties. He then will inspect the sites on all low bids and report his recommendations to the board. Although only five months remain before congress convenes in regular session. Treadway said the board hopes to have its report ready to present so actual appropriations can be made during the session. Other members of the special prison board of Surgeon-General
