and could be called to session at any time. “All appointments, contracts, bond issues and other important matters would require the concurrence of at least four members of this board, which to many students of government would be an improvement over the present County Commissioner setup which requires the consent of two out of three members.”

Conducts 2-Year Survey

Mr. evolved from a two-year survey which he conducted. He said many of his conclusions were based on his 25 years’ experience in governmental administration. He has been & member of the State Accounts Board for more than 15 years, and prior to that he served in various city and county offices for more than 10 years. “The increasing demand for a reduction in the cost of local government is a matter of grave concern to those now charged with the administration of public affairs,” he said. “It is admitted by practically all who are reasonably informed that in Indiana we have units of government very much in excess of what would necessarily be required for a proper administration of public business. “The need is urgent for something to be done when we consider

Man Killed by Trackless Trolley; 52 Motorists Held by Police.

One man was dead today and six other persons were injured in overnight accidents in Marion County, Lawson Edens of 834'2 W. Wash-

ington St. was killed instantly when, police said, he walked into the path of a west-bound 10th St. trackless in the 400 block W. WashHe was 48.

His death brought the City's traffic toll to 26 for the year as com-

time. Ross F. Gross of 448 N. Oriental St., the trolley operator, told police Mr. Edens stepped from the curb into the path of his car before he could stop. Mr. Edens suffered a fractured skull. Police, in checking Mr. Edens’ address, found the door of his apartment had been forced open and a burglar had stolen a radio from the living room. Meanwhile, police arrested 52 motorists, nine for speeding, two for drunken operating and one for reckless driving. Sixteen drivers, convicted by | Judge Charles Karabell in Municipal Court today, were ordered to pay $153 in fines and costs. Seven drivers convicted of speeding were fined a total of $99, of | which $20 was suspended. Eight | convicted of ignoring preferential | streets were ordered to pay $62, of | which $40 was suspended.

Eastern Coast ‘Attacked’ Over 500-Mile Area

MITCHEL FIELD, N. Y, May 12 (U, P).-—“Black Fleet” landing forces attacking the North Atlantic Seaboard in mock ‘‘war’ games struck at dawn today over a 500« mile stretch of ceast line, Parachute landings were effected off the coast of Maine and addie tional forces were landed at Kitty Hawk, N. C.,, General Headquarters Staff reported. The defending aerial forces ime mediately swung into action. Brig. Gen. Delos Emmons, commanding the first wing at Hartford, Conn, ordered attack planes and bombers to attack the landing parties on an island five miles southwest of Booth Bay Harbor, Me, Simultaneously the second wing commander sent the 8th and 13th attack groups out from Lancaster, Pa. and Allentown, Pa. to attempt to destroy the landing party at Kitty Hawk, The two landings threw into high gear the most ambitious aerial maneuvers ever attempted by the U. S. Army air forces, designed to work out problems of aerial defense for the Eastern Seaboard from the Carolina coast to Maine. Shortly after dawn, three giant, four-motored ‘flying fortresses” took off over the Atlantic where they expegted to contact the theoretical {black fleet” approxi mately 400 miles off shore.

Wien you realize that the township as such has no other method of raising revenues except by levying against taxable property, it is easy to realize the inequality and absurdity of the present system. “In Indiana there are townships which have less than $1500 of assessable valuation back of each child in school, and other townships that have a valuation of $40,000 back of each child. “Such variations could not be entirely eliminated by the plan proposed, but by enlarging the unit to embrace the entire county, the picture is improved considerably.”

10 to 10 in their balloting on the same pair. The committee vote was 11 for Mr. Jones and nine for Mr. Taylor. Chairmen and vice chairmen of three districts, Third, 10th and 12th, split in the voting. By the same margin, the committee selected Mrs. Cecil Harden, Covington, Emison adherent, to succeed Mrs. Nell S. Jenkins, Noblesville, as vice chairman. Nominees for the Eighth District chairmanship were Harold MecMurtrie, Huntingburg, Emison ally, and Gerhart Ahrens, District delegates had deadlocked over the choice. The committee picked the former by an 11 to 9 vote. Before selection of the district's vice chairman started, Mrs. Thomas Groves of the Gates bloc, who had been vice chairman, claimed she should have a vote because she never had been unseated officially. The Emison group, with no opposition, immediately seated the two new members from the Sixth. Chairman Bobbitt ruled that Mrs. Groves did not have a vote because the “incoming committee” was authorized to settle ties. Mrs. Groves was beaten in a 13 to 9 vote by Mrs. Amanda Pohl, Ev- | ansville. Mr. Gregg, new Twelfth District leader, voted with the Gates bloc as did Mr. Morgan. The Emison followers had expressed support of former U. S.
