01 HITS BACK AT CHARGES OF SHIPPJiONTROL Illegal Procedure Pursued by Decatur Trustees, Says Accounts Chief. Illegal procedure on the part (I the trustees and not C. C. Shipp caused the state board of accounts to turn down plans for the Decatur township holding company school in Marion county, Lawrence F. Orr. chief examiner of the state board of accounts, declared today. Orr defended action of his board, answering an attack by Albert Yeager, Decatur township school trustee, before the state tax board Thursday. Yeager charged he had been told by Frank Copeland, former employe of C. C. Shipp, heating specialty manufacturer, that the school plans never would be o. k’d. unless Yeager “got right with Shipp.” He is alleged also to have told Yeager that “Shipp controls the state board of accounts and the state health department.” Turned Down Plans Both these departments turned down the schoolhouse plans. Orr's .statement follows: “The purpose for which the state accounting law was enacted is the protection of the public interests. This is our constant aim. When matters are brought to our attention for examination and we find illegal procedure, we will not permit of same. “If Decatur township had proceeded lawfully in going about the erection of a school building, we would have approved such procedure. The trustees and others interested know that the procedure for such building was not approved because it was not according to law. Points to Record "Usually charges made as to control of this department by outside influences are traceable to those who have been found wrong when we investigate their official acts. The records show that our actions, almost without exception, have been sustained by the courts.” Dr. William F. King, director of the state board of health, declared that the building plans had been turned down by H. R. Condrey of his department because they provided no temperature regulation This does not mean Shipp units, but any one of a number of systems, he asserted. The board of accounts report sets out there are no free and open competition provided for by the plans and consequently they could not be approved.

until the day of the Three Wise Kings (Jan. 6), when the children receive their presents. A whole ticket in the Spanish Jottetry is expensive, costing 2,003 pesetas. Therefore, to satisfy everybody, tickets generally are sold in twentieths, and these in turn often are divided, so that many persons hold portions as small as one fourthousandth, which costs half a peseta. Christmas eve and Christmas day are celebrated thoroughly, one of the most important features being the importance attached to eating and drinking well. Madrid celebrates New Year’s eve vociferously. One of the traditional rites for every true Madrilero is to go to the Puerta del Sol, the Times square of Madrid, at midnight, when the clocks strike 12 and the iron bail on top of the ministry of the Interior building comes down, to eat twelve good-luck grapes, one for each month in the year. Christmas gifts are exchanged a' any time between Dec. 24 and Jan 1, but the children set out their shoes for presents on Jan. 6.

OGDEN OPINION SAVES MILLIONS FOR TAXPAYERS Such Is Tax Board View of Ruling on Cemetery Roads Status. Millios of dollars in county road expenditures will be saved Indiana taxpayers by a ruling issued today by Attorney-General James M. Ogden, it was announced by Cha rman James Showalter of the state tax board. Phil Zocrcher, tax beard member to whom the opinion was addressed, has had the context put into a circular letter to be sent to all county auditors.

! The ruling puts the expenditures for cerre ery reads, allowed by s, 1929 statute, under the county unit road law. Thus, instead oi creating anew taxing unit with a 2 per cent bonded debt limit, cemetery road expenditures must come under Ul3 county 2 p;r cent limit. “County officials have been proceeding under the idea that this cemetery road law would give him another outlet to raise bonds to 2 per cent of the assessed value of the county,” Showalter declared. “In Dubois county alone twenty such roads were planned. “The ruling of the attorney-gen-eral will halt all such procedure. Under it the amount spent in the cemeteries comes out of the county unit bonds and is limited by the county unit debt.” SS$ £ **l LSS iSX iSS g GIVE JEWELRY S g “THE GIFT SIPKKSIE" 2 Payment Plan nr Layaway GRAY, GRiBBiN & BnAY | g .leweler* g (g 151 NORTH ILLINOIS ST.
