- SCHOOL BUDGET OF SIX MILLION WINS ADOPTION

Tax Rate May Stay at 96 Cents; County to Scan Program Next Fall.

The School City's $6871,31808 budget for 1939-40, adopted tentatively two weeks ago, had been formally adopted today and the. property tax rate was established at 96 cents, same as last year. No objections were made by taxpayers at the School Board's public hearing last night and, if any are made, it is expected they will be voiced when the Marion County Tax Adjustment Board considers the school budget next fall. The emergency appropriation of $2851,057.58, which is to be used for school expenses in anticipation of tax collections, also was approved. Awarded $400,000 Yoan hie Albert McGann Securities Co, Inc, of South Bend, was successful bidder on the $400,000 temporary loan, in anticipation of tax collections. Its bid was at par value with an interest rate of threefourths of 1 per cent and a $138 premium. Unsuccessful bidders were | a group of six Indianapolis banks, the Imdiana Trust Co., Union Trust Co., Indiana National Bank, Fidelity Trust Co, Merchants National Bank and American National Bank, who collectively offered the same interest

rate, but whose premium was $8, and the Indianapolis Bond & Share Corp, whose premium offer was $31.50 Upon recommendation of Super- | intendent DeWitt S. Morgan, Ruth | Woods, teacher at School 84, was granted a leave of absence and! Bjorn Winger, Technical High School teacher, was chosen as ex-| change teacher for Eric Leslie Able- | son of Hull, England. Gertrude Barth was appointed to the Manual High School staff; William C.| Christensen, Technical, and Martha | Elizabeth Smith, Shortridge. Appointments 0. K.'d

~The Board also approved Super- | intendent Morgan's 57 clerical staff appointments, the 18 of A. B. Good. business manager, the 13 of Ray Wakeland, buildings and grounds | superintendent, and those of Luther L. Dickerson, Public Librarian. Changes in the library staff included the resignation of Helen Chandler, effective July 1, and the additions of Elizabeth Finch, Ma-| rian BE. Henley and Lillian M. Star-| ost. The staff totals 152, 10 of whom are part-time assistants.

The shooting started.” Warden Dowd himself was commended for the co-ordination with which the attack was made, He and state officials immediately started an investigation to determine how the convicts obtained their knives and why two of them were not in assigned quarters. Mrs. Joiner, a state parole agent from Crawfordsville, was suffering from shock, in addition to her wound, Calmed by a sedative she told, through her physician, how the convicts seized her. “One of the men took me by the arm, and said, ‘Right this way, lady.’ I didn’t realize anything was
