COUNCIL SCANS COUNTY'S ROAD 'WASTE' PLANS Gravel Fund May Be Pared to Prevent So-Called Squandering. Attention of Marion county councllmen was focused today upon commissioners’ plans for huge road expenditures, as the council began its study of 1932 budget requests. Unless the council pares the 1932 free gravel road fund request of commissioners, between $60,000 and $70,000 of the taxpayers’ money may be spent unnecessarily, John Shearer, minority board member, has charged. First of a series of meetings to be held by the council before it approves the budget, Sept. 8, was held Wednesday night at the county auditor’s office. Pledged to Economy The council is pledged to economy, with the task of keeping the 1932 budget within the 1931 figure. Proposed roaci expenditures labeled as wasteful by Shearer, may be slashed to a minimum by the council. Commissioners George Snider and Dow Vorhies vigorously are defending increases in the road budget, which would raise the road levy from the road superintendent’s estimate of %-cent to 1 cent. L taxpayers’ requests for lower budgets, Commissioners Snider and Vorhies, according to their budget requests, want to spend an extra $37,000 next year on a tar-gravel road building scheme. Councilmen may force commissioners to buy gravel for 20 cents from local pits, instead of paying contractors 90 cents a yard, it appeared today.

Board Cuts Are Likely Somd counties of the state are obtaining gravel as low as 1214 cents a yard, it is claimed. Charles Mann, county road superintendent, with whom the commissioners do not agree, stated recently the county could obtain “all the gravel it wants for 20 cents a yard.” Should the council fall to prune the road fund from the $188,509, requested by commissioners, to the $149,595, estimated by Mann, the state tax board may make the cuts. The tax board has final ruling on all tax levies. The Democratic council, however, firmly has declared each member will live up to his campaign pledge of "economy in government and lower taxes.” Two County Outings Planned Former Orange and Crawford county residents will hold their annual reunion Sunday afternoon at Brookside park. Arthur T. Mayfield is president and Owen C. Boyd, secretary.

POOR AID DEBTS TO BRING LARGE TAX INGREASES W?.yne, Perry and Center Townships Will Be Hit Hardest. Payment of poor relief debts, which hang like heavy anchors upon the county treasury, will cause large increases in three townships’ tax rates for 1932, County Auditor Harry Dunn stated today. Increases ranging from 3.6 to 11.5 ' cents will be necessary in Wayne, Perry, and Center townships. Levies for 1932 merely will pay i debts already incurred, ■while poor relief expenditures for the coming year must be financed by bond isI sues. This cycle of refinancing for poor relief may keep the county in debt I for several years, it is said.

Wayne Levy to Raise Wayne township must raise its rate for the poor budget from 1% : to 13 cents, because of an alarmI inb decrease in taxable property, Dunn stated. The Wayne rate in Indianapolis ■ will be approximately $3.01, and out- ’ side the city the levy will be about $1.82. These rates are based on assump- j j tion, Dunn said, that city, school, j county and state tax rates remain the same as the 1931 figures. Perry township must increase its rate BVi cents, while the Center rate for poor relief will be 7 cents, as ' compared with 3.4 cents for last year. Warren township will show a decrease. Some Miss Levies Poor relief levies will not be necessary in Pike and Franklin townships next year, Dunn said. Other township relief levies compared with 1931 levies follow: Decatur, 1932, cents, and 1931, 9 mills; Lawrence, 1932, lVi and 1931, lVi cents; Warren, 1932, 1 cent, and 1931, 2Vs cents, and Washington, 1931, 1 cent, and 1931, 5 mills.

N. Y. COPS TO MAKE ‘DRUNKS’ UO THEIR STUFF ‘lntelligence Quiz’ Will Be Given Each Suspect of Intoxication. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—The word “intoxication,” defined by Webster’s successors as "drunkenness” and accepted by some others as defining the state of one “paralyzed by intoxicating liquors,” is to be given new meaning by the New York police department. Commissioner Edward P. Mulrooney has ordered mental and general examination of each person taken into police station and accused of driving a vehicle “while intoxicated” to be conducted by the arresting police and the desk sergeant. Heretofore this examination has been conducted by an ambulance surgeon. John J. Hennessey, deputy chief inspector, who, after profound study and research, has compiled an examination to determine the state of intoxication of any one so examined, indicated surgeons and physicians were inclined to help clients
