Inmates of the County Infirmary would be sent to Julietta, which would be remodelled through a proposed $50,000 appropriation. . It was estimated this move would save the County an estimated $80,000 a year. The Indiana Municipal Leagile was to introduce amendments to the Shively-Spencer Act soon providing municipalities with more power in establishing city-owned utilities. Rep. George W. Wolf| (D. Peru), is preparing a recodification of this act, but his proposed bill is reported to contain provisions opposed by the Municial League. Besides giving approval to a State AAA program, the Indiana Farm Bureau is seeking to weld a cohesive farm group in both| Houses to further not only the State AAA but also a revamping of the $1.50 Tax Law: wording. A switch in tactics on changing the $1.50 Tax Law is under way, it was reported today. Legislators are being advised, it was said, that instead of eliminating! the word “emergency” from the law, the word should be redefined so that taxes above $1.50 can be raised only in case of an “act of God or war,” or for obligated indektedness of gov: ernmental units, :

Times Special BEDFORD, Ind. Jan. 15. — The Martin Dam Project, now under way, will provide a two-and-a-half acre “tailormade” lake next summer for fishing and water sports, if finished on schedule, the U. S.. Forest Service said today. Started last June as a WPA project, the dam! is located on Henderson Creek near Norman, in Lawrence County. On one side is a 100-foot high, thickly wooded bluff. The other side will be bounded by a sandy bathing beach. CCC camp

deeded to the Government by Hiram H. Martin, Norman, as part of the national land acquisition program. A sluicegate and spillway in the south end of the 300-foot dam will allow 10 feet of water at.the dam-

to an average five-foot depth and is filled with a 14-foot clay core from bed rock. Campgrounds, wading pools, playgrounds, shelter houses and scenic trails are planned and landscaping and other improvements are to be made. The lake is located on State Highway 58, about 18 miles northeast of here, in the southern Indiana hills.

|U. S. Wins Action for $138

Against Recipient of Bonus

Andrew Powell, native German and Green County farmer, was discharged on his own application from the U. S. Army during the World War on the grounds that he was not naturalized. He had served in 1917 and 1918. For this service, the Government awarded him $138 in adjusted

service certificates in 1925. found grounds for his discharge and

But 10 years later, the War Department

in December last year sued in re-!

plevin for the amount. Yesterday Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell decided that Mr. Powell was not a veteran in the meaning of the World War Veterans Act and therefore was not entitled to the

certificates. This is believed the first case of its kind. It was, court attaches pointed out, no decision on the status of an alien who had served

full military service and was dis-

‘charged involuntarily from the

Army after the Armistice.
