30-Year' Liquidation

" The project is being buil, on a straight contract basis. It is calculated to liquidafe in 30 years. ¥ Representatives -:of the Indianapo-

lis Negro population chose red for |

living roem colors. This upset the government's color experts and they asked why. Because, théy were told, families who probably: will rent the apartments usually: prefer carpeting to rugs and red is predominant in carpet color schemes.

Moreover, chintzes they. can af-. ford and will buy contain much red.|

And finally, Negroes as a race do not like oak furniture, never buy it, and aren't happy with it. They like mahogany. The project is the first and largest hotising project in Indiana, and one off the largest in the country. The 22 acres are bounded by Indiana-av, Blake, North and

Makers Report Cuts - Are Necessary. Surveyor Herbert Bloemker’'s re-

quest for a l-cent property tax levy to operate the Marion County

Highway Department next - year

probably is to be stricken from the budget, County, Council members indicated today.’ “With department requests, -as subniitted to us, requiring a tax levy of approximately 54 cents, iv is necessary that cuts be made some place,” one councilman explained. “The current rate is 38 cents, and “we will have to get the 1937 figures-somewhere/near that.” Councilmen also’ have begun a

survey of county salaries to see

“where increases are justified and where reductions should be made.” Harry Miesse, Indiana Taxpayers Association secretary and William

‘Councilmen also analyzed = the County Welfare Department budget. Official action on the new budget

| and tax rate is not to be taken until

the council ‘meets in formal session Sept. 8, it was said. If the road levy is taken from the budget, the surveyor still expects to receive approximately $140,000 in gasoline tax money from the state, it was said. The levy would raise approximately $60,000, it was estimated. ‘Mr. Bloemker explained that he requested the road levy as an emergency measure. He pointed out: that when he took office less than two years ago, he inherited highway de‘partment debts totaling more than $100,000.

* Hard Surfaces Needed

Department records show Mr. Bloemker has been able to pay these debts and - operate the department on a cash basis. “We need the levy to build hard surface; dustless roads, for ' which there is a great popular demand,” he said. “Many miles of gounty gravel roads carry heavier” traffic than concrete roads_in the state highway system, and both the traveling public and the suburban residents should be relieved.” He pointed out that, department equipment has not been replaced in six years, and without the support of .WPA, the county highway system would have suffered great damage through lack of: repairs during the last two years.

DORIS REBUFFED

By United Press HONOLULU, T. H. Ave 26.— The Harbor Board of Honolulu took occasion today to comment on “the use of great wealth for private ends” in denying Doris Duke Cromwell permission to build a private swimming pool on Kaalawai Beach. “This question of great wealth being used ‘for private ends is con-} trary to the .public good,” Louis Cain, board chairman, said. The heiress planned to build the pool 'in connection with her $500,000 beach estate. It. ‘would have. been located on the white sands of the beach between Diamond ‘Head and Koko Head. The- Harbor Board said the permit would deprive the public of free access to the beaches, and therefore would be class legislation.
