Mr. Ludlow pointed out that un- | der the PWA provisions of the new

recovery bill the City would be given a 45 per cent grant and can borrow the remaining 55 per cent from the Government at 4 per cent interest, amortized over 25 years, whether or not, the bonded debt limitation has been reached.

Amendment Not Needed

Senator VanNuys has proposed an amendment to the recovery bili to provide track elevation funds bus in view of the official ruling today that will not be necessary, Mr. Ludlow said. Interior Secretary Ickes announced today that new PWA project proposals from Indiana now

Court today ruled auto drivers and railroad companies equally are re- | sponsible for grade crossing accidents. The Court decision, made in three | cases appealed from the Gibson County Circuit, Court, marks a clarification of previous rulings on this subject, it was said. Several years ago the Supreme { Court held that the fact a driver struck the side of a moving train showed that the motorist was negligent, Later decisions placed the larger burden of negligence on the railroads. Meanwhile, as Judge Charles Karabell fined 29 motorists $81 in Municipal Court today, it was revealed that one-tenth of the mo- | torists arrested for traffic violations | escape conviction.

When they were hauled into the County bastille, it was discovered that none of the boys was over 18. Some of them called their parents, who also came to the jail. Within sight of the “bull pen” of the jail, Deputy McCallister began an illustrated lecture on what would happen to them if they ever actually fought a battle such as was proposed today. Before he was through, however. one of the Virginia Ave. “insurrectionists” interrupted with a stern declaration that “we aren't going to let them tell us what we can and can not do.” Deputy McCallister repeated that he was not interested in the principles, and warned them again. Then he released them to their parents.
