NEW DRIVE ON DALE STARTED BY RIVER SUIT State Move Seen as Effort to Force Huge Sewer Plant on Muncie. T>mr tp.rinl MUNCIE. Ind., May 27.—A new drive against the administration of Mayor George R. Dale of Muncie was opened today. The latest activity against the mayor w-ho has driven the corrupt elements from the city and saved thousands of dollars to taxpayers by smashing the paving trust came in the form of information that a mandate suit would be filed by state to 'halt pollution of White river.” Dale's supporters see in the move an attempt to force through the plan for an intercepting sewer system and disposal plant which Dale has fought consistently and .successfully since he took office. The mayor has stated on several occasions that he realizes the city's needs for a more up-to-date system, but declares that he will not pile such an excessive burden on taxpayers at this time, as the action would mean that scores of property owners could not pay the heavy assessments. Cost Would Be Huge A survey more than a year ago by ihe city engineer resulted in a report that the project would cost at least $4,000,000. and one prominent Muncie contractor, with years of experience in the business, asserts that the cost would be far greater. Experience in other cities has shown, say municipal officials, that the city should own its waterworks system before it launches any such plan as that contemplated by council members, who have fought Dale in an effort to put over the sewerage system here. Purchase of the Muncie waterworks plant would mean an outlay of three-quarters of a million or more, officials declare. “Hundreds of property owners already are carrying assessments for sewers, paving, curbing and gutter far in excess of the value of their lots, - ' asserted Lester Holloway, city controller, today. "They were assessed almost into bankruptcy by the paving grabs which were shoved through during the John Hampton administration. Burden Too Great ‘To ask the taxpayer to shoulder the huge burden of anew sewerage system would be almost criminal at thus time.” One Muncie daily paper has been carrying queries as to whether residents would not be willing to “pay a few cents’ more" taxes for the new plant. Dale's supporters declare that this is an attempt to dupe the people into the belief that the cost to them would be negligible if the plant were

Dog-Shusher Bp t nitr4 Preti CHICAGO. May 27—To the ever-growing list of strange professions today may be added that of dog-shusher. Mrs. Dorothy Eagles, who hires the dog-shusher every night, revealed his existence in a suit that charged her dog shelter was a nuisance. Neighbors complained the dogs howled at night, interfering with sleep. "Nonsense, judge," said Mrs. Eagles. "I hire a man every night to shush the dogs whe they get noisy. He pats them on the head or gives them a drink of water if they bark. They re the most contented dogs you ever saw." The case was continued to allow the neighbors to give more evidence.

Military model winners were: First, Robert Huddleston, Tech; second. Boeing, and third, Kuntz. built, when in reality it would be back-breaking. The state's mandate suit will be filed within ten days, according to word from the offic" of AttorneyGeneral James M. Ogden. It will be filed in accordance with the order issued by the state health board on Jan. 16. 1931, that the city take steps to halt pollution' of White river and Buck creek. Mayor Dale, despite the opposition of council to his stand, blocked the huge sewer project at that time. Lewis S. Finch, sanitary engineer for the state health board, declares that the principal reason for the suit against the city of Muncie is because “Anderson, twenty miles away, gets all its drinking water from the river."

FIND USE FOR BONES By United Pre WASHINGTON. May 27 -Burnt bones make table sugar white. The department of labor re-

veals that in twenty-one sugar refineries 775 persons are employed in handling the skeletons of animals—hogs, sheep and cows—that they may be charred and used in filtering sugar, thereby whitening it.

! The animal bones come from large United States slaughter houses, occasionally from the Argentine, pampas. They are stripped, scraped, shredded, boiled and charred for | their use in the whitening process.
