4-GENT SLICE IN COUNTY TAX LEVYJ’ROPOSED Chamber of Commerce Would Lop $166,096 From General Fund. Proposing a 4 cents reduction in the 1932 county tax levy, the civic affairs committee of the Chamber of ‘Commerce today had prepared a detail budget reduction that would set the levy at 33.5 cents. The Chamber of Commerce would lop $166,096 from the general fund, and cut $54,410 from the county highway department budget. The committee’s recommendation would reduce the general fund levy from 20.5 to 17.5 cents, and its statement shows that the latter levy would produce $1,343,000, while elimination of $166,096 from the general fund would leave only $1,328,382.07 to be raised for this fund. Next to the highway department slash, the biggest cut proposed by the committee is in elimination of the sheriff’s road patrol system, which the statement describes as a luxury too expensive to be maintained. Cost $50,000 Annually The patrol is maintained at a cost estimated at $50,000 annually. Salary reductions and elimination of employes would slice $84,500 of the $166,096 general fund decrease, and $4,000 more would cut wages and team hire in the highway department. County council will meet Tuesday to take formal action in fixing the budget and tax levy. Action probably will be brief, inasmuch as the councilmen have held several informal sessions over the budget!, and final cuts were made at a meeting Sunday. Councilmen have intimated there will be wholesale cuts on county employes, and have indicated the levy will be between 32 and 34 cents on each SIOO of taxable's. The 1931 levy is 34.5 cents. Recommend Salary Cuts Salary reductions of deputies recommended by the Chamber of Commerce included: Clerk, $6,300; treasurer, $650; recorder, $6,900; coroner, $1,410; Franklin township assessor, $690; Perry township assessor, $1,000; Warren township assessor, $2,124; Washington township assessor, $4,960; Wayne township assessor, $5,155; per diem of petit jurors and meals and lodging in all county courts, $7,600; per diem of special judges in four municipal courts, $3,500; bookkeeper for probation department of municipal courts, $1,900. The recommendations also would cut salary of the county attorney from $4,500 to $3,500; salary of the county garage superintendent from SI,BOO to $1,500, and eliminate the post of garage help with a salary of $1,200 a year. Weights and measures inspector, with a salary of SI,BOO, also would be cut out.

Cheats Death by Fire White’s leap was the second on the Sunday bill of thrills that drew more than 60,000 spectators to the airport. The other was an enforced jump by Walter Hunter, Robertson, Mo., who bailed out of his Travelair plane as it caught fire 150 feet above ground. Hunter, one of the four brothers who established an endurance flight record at Chicago last year, was burned on the hands and face by the flames which enveloped his ship and sent it plunging to ruin. The pilot, an original entry in the Thompson race, was making a test flight. Spinning along at more than 200 miles an hour, a gas line broke. The liquid sprayed against the exhaust pipe and the ship was in flames. Before the pilot could release his safety belt and crawl over the cockpit, his clothing, too, was afire. Beats Out Flames He beat out the flames with his hands and leaped from the plunging craft that crashed behind the airport. Hunter landed safely in his chute which, he said, opened when he was not more than sixty feet from the ground.

When it comes to catch-as-catch-can driving, Police Sergeant Wayne Bear and his two partners, patrolmen Moore and Ritter, have it all over three alleged rum’ runners whom they captured Sunday. Starting in pursuit of William Eads, 844 Church street, and Riley Mason, 442 Chadwick street, at Missouri and Norwood streets, the policemen followed the pair through alleys and streets on the south side until Eads, who was driving the car of the bootleg suspects, crashed the auto into a barn at the rear of 516 Abbott street.
