views the relief rates before they are filed with the Board. Trustees are expected to contend that the increases are necessarv because of an anticipated increased relief load next year, caused partly by layoffs.

Biemer Explains Setup

_ The Board, on the other hand. is faced with demands of protesting taxpayers and the charges that mounting poor relief costs “are moving the county toward bankruptcy.” County Auditor Fabien Biemer has explained previous Adjustment Boards had acted to provide tax levies for only half of the proposed expenditures, requiring the County to issue bonds to pay off the remainder of the costs. He said these methods were based

on the assumption that poor relief |

was ta be temporary. A total of three and a half million dollars in bonds has heen issued in the past three vears, causing the tax levy to retire these honds to jump markedly each vear, will take vears to pay off (hese obligations and instead of ihe poor relief load going down as we all an-

ticipated, it has continued to in-|

crease substantially.” A comparison of the tax rates for poor relief and bonds in the three townships which will be considered by the Board follows:

spent $10.000 on the Derbyshire farm roads before the work was halted last February by John K.

Jennings, state WPA administrator.

He said the farm is south of Banta Road, east of the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks and west of Derbyshire Road, in Perry Township. The alleged diversion of labor to the work on the farm occurred, Mr, Nolan said, during November and December, 1938, and January and February, 1939. Mr. Kortepeter has ‘been emploved as an engineer in public offices nearly 10 years. He served with the State Highway Department from 1220 to 1929, in the City Engineer's office from 1929 to 1935, and in April, 1935, was employed as an engineer by the FERA. In July, 1935, he was transferred 6 the WPA engineering department. Later he was made assistant supervisor oi operations and eventually was named director of the Marion County district. He resigned this post Feb, 17, 1939, asserting that John K. Jennings, State WPA administrator, had complained that he ‘‘established too close a relationship with the sponsors of projects.”

Why haven't we [done s0? I can assure you of one [thing, we shall lose our democracy [if we take arms in this war—at | least temporarily.” Gen. Johnson hailed as an aid in | keeping America out of war the | President's proposal to revise the neutrality law to permit ‘“‘cash-and- | carry” sale of armaments to belligerents. Another aid, he said, would be a ban against U. S. citizens traveling on ships of belligerents, “one of the

| things that helped get us into the - | 'last war.” |

[ All the cost account records of the last war, he said, are in the red column, none are in the black.
