Payment Made in 1924 Payment was made by the city controller to the "downtown" office of Butler. Sept. 22, 1024. Two checks were drawn, one for SIBO,OOO and the other for $53,925.49. Further research by The Times disclosed that in addition to the above described land, now owned by Butler, not being on the tax duplicate, more than seventy-five additional lots throughout the city also are nontaxable, because Butler now holds title to them. Twenty-five acres in the old campus site in the heart of Irvington still are owned by Butler and are nontaxable. Worth S3,(M)0,000 Now It is estimated by tax experts and appraisers that the entire real estate, now owned by Butler, and off the tax duplicate, is approximately $3,000,000. Mr. Johnson said today that it definitely was understood when Butler got the campus site from the street car company for $200,000 that the company was making a contribution to the betterment of Indianapolis. The Butler board of trustees, according to Mr. Johnson, felt that the land was worth three or four times what it cost the university. The transaction through which the park board acquired the 100-foot strip was marie on the recommendation of competent appraisers, he said.

Exemption! ‘New Testament’ Is Given As Explanation. CHECKING over gross income tax reports received at the statehouse is rather a monotonous occupation, but now - and then the monotony is relieved by a bit of humor. Workers today scanned report of the First Christian church of Mishawaka. On the line asking explanation of the nonprofit status of the taxpayer asking exemption, were written only three words: "The New Testament.” ”1 fuess it’s all right, but it looks like a little discrimination against Moses,” commented Clarence Jackson, department director, when the report was submitted to him.

BUTLER’S PROFITABLE MOVE MAPPED

I ff

The map show's a tract of 239 acres which Butler university bought from the Indianapolis Street Car Company for $200,000 in 1923. The black line around the edges designates the one hundred-foot strip for which the park board of the city paid "damages” of $233,925.49 to Butler university, June 21, 1924. Later, Sunset boulevard was constructed by the city park board at an additional cost of $10,292.40. The $33,925.49, plus the $10,292.40. gave Butler university a total “bonus” of $44,217.89, plus the $200,000 cost of the campus, for moling from Irvington to Fairview.

New Regulations Are Issued by Ministry to Aid Flight Control. I By I niteri Pri.m PARIS, Nov. 15.—The French gov- • ernment is encouraging the development of private airdromes, both on land and water, and the decree setting forth the requirements has just j been published. Approved by the ministry of air,! the regulations provide that any individual possessing a suitable landing field, or an expanse of water, j may, on proper application to the prefect of police, use the airdrome j for private uses, or for friends. The owners must present at the j prefecture a regulation plan of the terrain, or basin, and evidences of | ownership of the property and in- I dications as to how it is to be used. Within ten days the prefect will authorize the use of the property as an airdrome, or reject the proposal. The proprietors of private airdromes must keep a complete regis- | I ter of arrivals and departures of | planes, and their property must at j all times be open to visit and in- j spection by accredited representatives of the government. The decree also stipulates that official signals must be established by which navigators can be signaled, or can signal to those below. It is noted that because certain j aerial evolutions assume the na- | ture of a public spectacle, certain : airdromes may be opened for a period not exceeding three days for : spectacle purposes providing the en- ! terprise conforms to certain regula- ) tions established by the ministry of | interior.

U. S. IS SENT CITY REQUEST FOR GAS LOAN $10,191,000 to Purchase Plant Here Likely to Be Approved. (Continued from Page One) the reconstruction of eighty coke ovens, erection of a belt pipe line around the city and the erection of a sulphate-ammonia plant. It also is declared in the petition that the city will sell gas to Indianapolis consumers at cost. In taking over the Indianapolis plant the city must pay the interj est of 4 per cent on the borrow’ed $10,191,000. w’hich amounts to i $407,640 a year. In addition, the city will be forced to pay for the remainder of the life of the lease. For seventy-one i years the city will be forced to pay $479,000 per year as rental for the Indianapolis Gas Company prop- | erty. The lease of the Indianapolis Gas Company property, under the terms of the merger, was draw r n when gas rates of the city were 65 cents a 1.000 cubic feet and regardless cf what happens to the plant, whether “it burns up. blows up or not. 5 cents worth of gas is produced,” the rental will continue, it is asserted. Opponents to the acquistion of the Citizens Gas Company also points out that during the last legislature a law was enacted w'hereby munici-

pally owned utilities would have to pay taxes. However, the civil city tax was excluded. This tax amendment, it was learned, will force the city to pay an additional tax of approximately $175,000 a year for the Indianapolis Gas Company property alone and also taxes for the Citizens Gas Company property, which is estimated to be about the same value. Officials of the Indiana Gas Service Company, who recently were denied a petition of convenience and necessity in an application for a franchise to bring natural gas to Indianapolis, stated to The Times that they had offered the city and the utility district natural gas at 33 cents for 1.000.000 B T. U. This offer, these officials asserted, had been rejected and never made public. In comparison to this cost, the files of the public service commission show that the 1932 cost to manufacture artificial gas by the Citizens Gas Company w r as $1.06 per 1.000,000 B. T. U.’s. For the first nine months of 1933. according to the financial statement j of the Citizens Gas Company, the net loss of the operation cost for that period amounted to $117,000.
