ments include: Works board. $2.040,430. including city hall, airport and city garage; safety board, $2.559,221, including city market, fire and police stations; health board, $2,631,311, mast of which is represented by city hospital and sanitary board, $3,263,510. The total figures is an increase cf $318,930 over the preceding year. Gasoline tax receipts from the state showed a decrease in 1931, Elder reported, $173,997 being received. compared with $181,924 the preceding year. Receipts from licenses collected by the city controller totaled $170,768. decrease of $2,048. Heaviest license receipts were from truck licenses, $66,179. an increase of nearly $4,000. Gasoline pump license fees showed increase of $2,643. totaling $23,065. That many dog owners dodged the dog catcher in 1931 is revealed by the report, which shows only $4,735 collected from sale of dog tags, compared with $6,031 the yeai before. City market leases accounted for $35,646 of the total, a decrease of nearly $2,000. Traffic fines and fees paid by un-

fortunate motorists added $18,494. an increase of about $2,200. to the city’s receipts, while city courts' fines and fees added another $6,742 The much-berated automobile tow-in-law, in force only a part of the year before vehement protests of business men and motorists brought its abolition, netted the city $5,404. Gasoline profits, leases and other items resulted in the municipal airport contributing $7,899 to the city coffers for the year. Bonded debt of the city general was increased $281,000 during the year, to reach $11,241,610 on Jan. 1. 1932, the report show’s. However, both the park and sanitary city bonds showed decreases. Total of sanitary district bonds outstanding was $3,414,500, a decrease of $96,500, while outstanding bonds against the park board totaled $3,221,720, a drop of $132,330 as result of no bonds having been issued by the board in 1931.

HOUSE BILL TO SLASH BUDGETS BY 5J.600,000 Appropriations Measure Is Amended, Recommended by Committee. With several tax relief bills already passed, the house of representatives Friday will consider the amended biennial appropriations bill slashing $1,600,000 from budgets of state departments and institutions. This bill, broader in scope than any considered by the special session, was recommended for passage by the house ways and means committee at a meeting Wednesday afternoon. It would cut expenditures of penal and benevolent institutions 10 per cent and practically all other gov-

emment branches 15 per cent. It would slash the Governor’s contingency fund from $125,000 to $50,000. Representative John Bold (Demo. Evansville, was directed to prepare a companion bill cutting salaries of supreme and appellate court judges from SIO,OOO to $8,500 and reducing pay of jurists in. lower courts on a basis of county population. A provision of the appropriation bill to destroy the Hawk, naval militia training ship, was killed after Representative Martin T. Krueger iDem.), Michigan City, persuaded the committee to save the ship. He recommended a 15 per cent cut in naval appropriations. The measure also would cut budgets of state universities 15 per cent. Most significant bill yet passed by the house is the gas tax and auto license fee redistribution bill increasing shares of cities, counties and towns in the annual $24,000,000 fund, and reducing the highway commission’s share from 75 to 50 per cent. Its passage Wednesday followed a

stormy debate in which representatives of cities and towns sought, a larger portion of the fund in order to relieve the poor relief burden. A special provision of the bill gives Indianapolis one-third of Marion county's share of the fund, while other cities will receive only onefifth. It appeared probable that the lower house will pass the bill, suspending for two years the 4-mill state levy* to complete the Indiana war memorial, involving tax of $400,000 annually. The bill had been recommended by the ways and means committee for indefinite postponement, but a battle was precipitated on the floor, resulting in retention of the measure for a vote. Attorney-General James M. Ogden ruled suspension of the levy would be unconstitutional. The Weiss, bill, granting a moratorium on delinquent tax sales and reducing delinquent penalties, awaits action by the senate following passage in the house Wednesday.
