.{ the civil city tuberculosis prevention

levy from 1 cent to 3 at a meeting today in City Hospital. Such a measure, expected to be introduced at this session of the Legislature, would provide the estimated

| $73,000 needed for maintainance | each year.

The statute amendment would authorize the City Council to make the budget increase.

Mission Urged United Flower Mission urged building the unit and helped finance the City share. Members of the Flower Mission steering committee are Mrs. David

Ross,’ Mrs. James D. Eermston and Mrs. Edward Ferger. More than 300 advanced tuber-

| culosis cases are exposing 700 chil- | dren to the disease, the committee | said in urging the increase.

Equipment is being installed and the interior finished at the hospital in preparation for opening.

While removi! of Big Four accounting departiiients to Detroit will result in the loss of a $10,420 monthly payroll here, #dditional New York Central activities have increased total payrolls hite more than $90,000 a month, acording to F.

More employe; have been brought into Indianapolis during the last year through reorganization than

liamson said. Increased employment at Beech Grove - outweighed personnel loss, the rail official said. The accounting division payroll represents about 3 per cent of the Indianapolis Big

Four employees, whose annual pay- |

roll totals $8,750,000. As business gains, increasing employment in the Indianapolis Big Four offices and shops is anticipated, according to Mr.: Williamson. Other cities affected by the Detroit move are co-operating to induce the rcad to revise its plans, Mr. Olive said. Mayor Kern has appealed to executives to retain the local office, he said today. William H. Book, Chamber of Commerce executive vice president, also has made efforts to have the decision reconsidered. The transfer is to be made April 1, railroad officials said.
