A, H. SIELKEN GIVEN OSLER'S SCHOOL POST Ex-Building and Grounds Chief Made Assistant to New Superintendent. Armin H. Sielken, 3458 Blrchwood avenue, will become city school buildings and grounds superintendent Sept. 15, succeeding H. F. Osier, drmoted to assistant superintendent, as result of action by the school board Tuesday night. Thfe board accepted Osier’s resignation as superintendent, appointed him assistant superintendent, then followed with Sielken’s appointment. Sielken’s salary was set at $4,000 a year and Osier’s at $3,000. C. F. Walter, supervisor of custodians and janitors .was demoted to a first-class custodian-engineman, $1,320 a year ,ar.d Jesse McClure, former city recreation director, was named to fill his place as supervisor at SI,BOO a year. McClure Is Given Post The only explanation given by board members for Walter’s demotion and McClure’s appointment was that it was for “the good of the service.” McClure, who has been engaged in sales work recently, was city recreation director under the Duvall and Slack administrations. Osier had served as building and grounds superintendent two and a half years, without an assistant. In a statement issued to the press, it was explained that “in relieving Osier of much of the executive responsibility of his department, his intimate knowledge of details of the 100 plants of the system will be utilized to better advantage. Wetzel Proposes Sielken It was explained also that duties of the post are too heavy and complicated for one executive to handle. Sielken, recommended by Julian Wetzel, buildings and grounds committee chairman, has been engineer in charge of construction for D. A. Bohren Ac Son, Indianapolis architects, the last eight years. He was born and reared here and has been engaged exclusively in construction and engineering work. At one time he was city engineer of Wilmington, O. The board authorized a $200,000 temporary loan, and granted a year's leave of absence without pay to Miss Margaret Coyle, school No. 6 teacher.

City’s Tax Bill in 1931 $50.99 for Each Person

And Average Citizen Owes $93.59 on City’s Bonded Indebtedness. * If the 1931 tax levy in the city had been divided equally among the population, each citizen would have been presented with a bill for $50.99, according to figures released today by the bureau of census in Washington. Assessed valuation of property in the city was $67,660,240, according to the report, on which $18,857,857 was levied. Compared with 1930, each of the 369,800 persons in the city was charged $1.96 less. The 1930 per capita levy was $52.95. Operation and maintenance of general departments of the city cost each person $39.89 during the year, slightly more than the 1930 cost of $39.64. This cost increases if public service enterprises, debt interest and permanent improvements are added to bring the government cost to $19,588,608 instead of the general department cost of $14,749,473. Os the per capita share of expenses, $4.55 went for interest on the public debts, for which $1,685,932 was paid out of the city coffers. And speaking of debt, this citizen who boasts he “owes not any man” is not entirely truthful, because according to the bureau of census figures, he owes approximately $93.59 as his share of the city’s indebtedness of 34,608,208.

PREPARES FOR RADIO WAR ON UTILITY RIVAL ■ ■ " City Pastor to Begin His Fight for Church Station in September. The first step in the battle of the Rev. Morris Coers. pastor of the Thirty-First Street Baptist church, to establish an Indianapolis radio station, despite the protests of his wealthy opponent, the Indianapolis Power and Light Company, will be taken early in September. Date for the hearing before the federal radio commission has not been set definitely. Mr. Coers seeks to establish station WJED at the church for broadcast of religious, eductional and musical programs. The commission issued a permit, but suspended it after protest by WFBM, the power and light company’s station. Petitions are being circulated throughout the state by churches and individuals to gain support oi the move. Hundreds of letters have been received by Mr. Coers. Following is one which came from a woman who is a “shut in” in Castleton, Ind. It was addressed to The Times: “This letter is to voice my sincere appreciation of your stand in regard to the broadcasting station of the Thirty-first Street Baptist church,” the letter says. “I am a ‘shut in,’ having taken the cure for tubercuosis for several months. I have looked forward each week to the opportunity of hearing Mr. Coers speak on the radio. Should this station be refused, many other ‘shut ins,’ in addition to myself, would miss the comfort his talks always affords us.” Jean Carmen to Marry HOLLYWOOD.
