ANDERSON CITY PAY ROLL MET Transfer of $15,000 Made From Municipal Utility Fun Bu Times Sneeial ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 20Miss Marcia Barton, Madison county treasurer, and ex-officio treasurer of the city of Anderson, has countersigned a check for the borrowing by the city general fund of $15,000 from the earnings of the municipal electric light plant, and as a result 160 city employes are receiving their pay checks for the first two weeks of September. The pay roll was due Tuesday. Action of Miss Barton followed an opinion by Harry Neff, city attorney, declaring the transfer of funds legal.

There was a balance of $3,500 in the general fund when the semimonthly pay roll, amounting to $13,000, became due. Officials of the city administration allege the condition of finances was occasioned by the paying off of $256,000 in current debts inherited from the previous administration.
