BARRETT FUND

Corps Untangling Mixup in Collections, Payments For Improvements.

By HARRY MORRISON

For the last six years a corps of accountants and clerks has been untangling the Barrett Law imbrovements tax skein in the basement of the Court House.

They have arrived at last at aj

point where they can say, within limits, what the City shortage will

be and how long it will be before | §

Barrett bondholders can expect to get their money. The deficit will be something more than $200,000. And it may he several years before the knot is unraveled completely. The answers were not very certain, but neither was the original law that allowed bondholders to accumulate rights to money that was never collected.

Installment Payment

The Barrett Law is a system whereby property owners can pay for public improvements adjacent to their land over a period of years, in installments. The catch came when property owners paid in less than 10 yearly installments, thus saving interest payments. Bondholders had to, by law, be paid off in the regular 10 yearly installments, and interest had to be: paid for the full time. This discrepancy resulted in a shortage. ‘ This shortage became more hoticeable by the City’s method of pooling all landholders’ payments and paying off the bondholders as their “rolls” or bond groups on each improvement, came up. As a result, some earlier bondholders were paid off and the later ones were left out. It was considered unfair, because landowners paid off some rolls completely and because of the system of pooling, Barrett bondholders for that roll were not paid. Finally, the Legislature passed a class levy on all property to make up the deficit. The levy was later laid off and it looks now as if something will have to be done to renew the levy.

6 Work on Problem A one-cent levy increase means. -at the present tax rate in the County, an increase of about $60,000—a seven year job of reducing the present estimated short-| age. The basement crew at the Court House includes two accountants from the State Board of Accountants, two clerks from the City and two from the County. When they get through with their work they will know how much has been paid on each bond and how much is owed on each bond and by each property owner. And when the smoke clears away, there won't be any more ‘pooling. Each bondholder will be paid yearly on the basis of the percentage paid of the total due on each roll.

ADVISES AGAINST WINTER OPERATIONS

CHICAGO, Oct. 22—Avoid surgical operations in late winter and spring, if possible, Prof. William F. Petersen, of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, warned members of the American of Surgeons meeting here this morning. . The patient's resistance varies with the season, Prof. Petersen explained. Chilling is also a danger, even if apparently insignificant, Prof. Petersen also warned, because it lowers the resistance to the passage of germs present on mucous membranes. The anesthetic itself entails heat loss from the body, he pointed out.

PROF. WEBER TO SPEAK Prof. James A. Weber, religion department head at Indiana Central College, will speak at a supper at 6:30 p. m. tomorrow given by the Men's Brotherhood of the Brookside United Brethren Church. W, A. Thomas, Brotherhood president, will be in charge.

Secondary School Session To Be Lead by A. Y. C.

Chairman.

The Butler University College of Education will hold a Conference on Secondary Education Nov. 8.

This stretch of “made” ground may become part of the proposed extension of 38th St. fyom Northwestern Ave. one mile west to the Cold Springs Road from where this picture was taken. The fill was made with earth scooped from the White River to widen the channel as part of the Marion County Flood Control project. Plans for the road extension are not yet completed. They would require the erection of a new bridge over the White River.

KNOX COUNTY'S escape artist, the man who, when caught sawing the bars ot his cell explained he wasn't trying to escape but just wanted to have an exit in case of fire, is at it again. Sentenced two years ago to the state penitentiary for burglary, after having escaped once from the county jail while awaiting trial, he returned to Vincennes last Aug. 5. An hour and a half later he was extricated by police from the Elks Lodge “where he was looking for “a place to sleep.” The officers, duly sympathetic, placed him in

His latest escapade took place the other night. Using a key which he had made from a spoon he picked his way out of his cell. He made his way to a block of ‘concrete in the jail wall and dug loose the cement from around the block. After pushing this out, he went his way. All but one of Vincennes policemen took up the chase and three hours later surrounded the fugi-

YOU NEVER SEE HIM-BUT HIS EXTRA SKILL FLIES WITH YOU EVERY MILE! |

WILLIAM H. MILLER — Flight Supt., American Airlines

Te ARMCHAIR above is his cockpit— but Bill Miller flies as many as 100 planes a day. North, south, east, and west from New York’s LaGuardia Field (air view upper right) his radio control-room directs the flying course of American’s giant flagships. Flier, navigator, engineer, traffic executive all in one — yes, flight superintendent Bill Miller is a man with the extras — a man who gets the smoking extras, too...in Camels. For Camel's costlier tobaccos and slower way of burning give you more than mildness — they give you extra mildness and coolness with a flavor that holds jts appeal right through the last extra puff. Camels also give you extra smoking per pack (see right).
