Mayor and Officials Hear Local Units May Pay

~ 33VsPerCent.

; . | Mayor Sullivan and other local: officials today studied the probable effect of an expected WPA order requiring sponsoring agencies to in-

crease their share of project costs

from the present 20 per cent to The increase was predicted by John K. Jennings, State WPA administrator, at a meeting of City and County project sponsors at State WPA headquarters yesterday. Posey B. Denning, newly appointed Marion County WPA Director, was introduced at the meeting. ° “Although the increase -in the sponsor's cost of WPA projects has not yet been made definite,” Mr. Jennings said, “I believe it will he

_ set at about 33% per cent.”

Denning Pledges Help

Local governmental units and other project sponsors now pay an average of 20 per cent of projects cost, Mr. Jennings said. Mr, Denning pledged his co-oper-ation to the sponsors and assured them that no changes were contemplated in Indianapolis or Mar-

ion County projects now under way. |

director's “close” relationship with

Mr. Kortepeter previously had been quoted as saying that he resigned because Mr, Jennings objected to this “close relationship.” “Mr. Kortepeter’s relations with sponsors was a fine thing,” Mr. Jennings said. “And I hope that Mr.

Mr. Dunwoody takes 50 cases through Municipal Court, he said, whereas 200 was about average a few years ago. A quarter of a century ago, for instance, Mr. Dunwoody spent-a lot of time examining the intentions and produce of butter and egg men. That was shortly after he took the job and when inspectors pursued

‘produce , salesmen about town in

fast cars, finding out whether they were: actually selling fresh butter and eggs. } Ten and 20 years ago, Mr. Dunwoody says, merchants were selling beef suet as pure lard, and some of them were mixing powdered milk with water and offering it for sale as fresh milk.

Cheaters Forced Out

Occasionally a milk peddler would add a harmless wood dye to. milk to make it appear richer and creamier, and once in a while some would add formaldehyde, a preservative, to. keep it “sweet.” - ha: - Nowadays, however, the consumers have gotten so well informed on such things, and competition of legitimate merchants so keen, that there seems to be no room for the cheater, he said. Nevertheless, the department is constantly on the watch for meat dealers who put chemicals in hamburgers to make it look fresh. The resulting combination can and often is physically harmful to those eating it, he said. , “We still catch an ocasional peddler selling adulterated foods,” Mr. Dunwoody said. “But now we concentrate on seeing that markets and groceries sell what they claim and make routine inspections and tests of their products.” “We used to have a lot of excitement, though.”
