MANN CHARGES COUNTY GRAVEL COST TOO HIGH Contracts to ‘Deserving Democrats’ Blamed for ‘Extravagance.’ County commissioners were confronted today with charges they are “keeping road costs up' 1 by favoring “deserving Democrats’ with gravel contracts. Charles W. Mann, highway superintendent. declared Wednesday “commissioners arp purchasing gravel at 40 cents a cubic yard when it could be secured for 16 cents.” He cited a gravel contract which the board awarded to the Glenns Valley Grave] Company, R. R. 2, Greenwood. This company is owned bv J. Bright Webb, joint representative from Johnson and Marion counties and candidate for the senate; Leonard A. Hohlt, Democratic assessor of Perry township, and Charles Shannon of Greenwood, who operates the plant in Perry township. Commissioners Criticised This firm Is supplying gravel on a 40-cent contract when O. B. Brandenburg, owner of a pit a mile distant from the Glenns Valley pit, offers to supply similar gravel for 16 cents a cubic yard, Mann revealed. Vorhies explained “the board would save money by buying gravel from Glenns Valiey, besides getting better material.” He said gravel could not bp obtained from the Brandenburg pit without stripping dirt from it at great cost. Explaining trucks must pass the Brandenburg pit to haul gravel from the Glenns Valley pit, Mann asserted the. 16 cent grade is "just as good as the Glenns Valley gravel, if not better.” Extravagance Is Charged Records show the county has used 1,750 yards of gravel from Glenns Valley at a cost of S7OO. This could have been purchased from Brandenburg for S2BO, a saving of $420. according to Mann. The alleged high contract was let by Dow W. Vorhies and Thomas Elliis, Democratic board members, and George Snider, Republican minority member. Webb said the Brandenburg gravel cost the county more than that from his own pit, when advised of Mann's chargps. He explained it would be necessary to strip three or four feet of rarth from the Brandenburg pit at a cost of nearly 25 cents a. yard.

in the form of phonograph records. Many of them never will come to the ears of this generation, since they were made on condition that they should not be reproduced until a period of fifty or more years had passed. The collection is stored in a small and seldom visted room. Special measures have been taken to safeguard and preserve the records. Oldest of the records is that of Alfred Lord Tennyson. Since the art of recording was in its infancy then, the voice of the great poet may be but faintly heard now. Another valuable voice is that of Tolstoy reading a passage from one of his notable books. This record was made twenty-five years ago, when he was 77. There are particularly fine records of Caruso, Patti and Melba. Preserved, too, is the eloquence of such men as Balfour, Asquith and Lord Roberts, in the last case the great soldier's prophetic warning of war peril in 1913. Among .the surviving great included in the collection are Ramsay MacDonald, King George, Queen Mary and the prince of Wales. Stanley Baldwin and Lloyd George.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

COURT PLEUGES PROTECTION OF CITY DEBTORS Judge Pickens Not to Issue Garnishments of Wages If Hardships Result. Asserting “these are no times for courts to inflict hardships on debtors,” Superior Judge William A. Pickens today offered protection to family heads against garnishment of their wages. Pickens issued a statement declaring he would not issue executions against wages of any person "whose family does not have more than enough for its needs.” In future cases, he declared, “I will hold the garnishment law invalid. if it is sought to be enforced in a case where the living wage of a worker is threatened to be reduced.” An affidavit of the debtor's earnings. his dependents and ability

to pay must be furnished in all future cases in superior court three When facts reveal the execution of judgment will inflict hardship on the debtor's family. Pickens will deny any order for 10 per cent of his wages, he stated. This stand was taken by Pickens in the case of Anna Heron, who sought execution against wages of Arthur W. Case of 1727 North Pennsylvania street, clerk at the Brown Brothers Packing Company. 534 West Ray street, for S3OO judgment and $32 court costs. A superior court jury. April 3, returned a verdict for $332 judgment against Case and his wife Mayme. on a contract for household goods. Case was to assume an indebtedness totaling $694 when he purchased the goods, but had failed to pay S3OO due on the contract. Deploring the practice of employers posting notices that employes, whose wages are garnisheed, will be discharged, Pickens said this was one reason for offering a “moratorium to the debtor.” Under the 1925 garnishment act. a judgment may be collected by garnisheeing 10 per cent of the employes wages. Validity of the garnishee law has been questioned several times in Indiana courts. Cases are pending in the supreme court.
