REDUCES TAX RATE

Fix-Proof Stickers Have Brought Average of $4444

A M-1th Into City General Fund and Cut Levy 114 Cents; Works Board 0. K.’s Three Selections. By RICHARD LEWIS

Since ‘the institution of the fix-proof sticker system in the Police Department in June, 1939, the City has collected $80,000 from overtime parkers, the records of City Clerk

John Layton showed today.

City’s General Fund to help reduce the tax rate by more

than one and one-half cents. Police experience has shown, ac-

.. cording to the records, that only a

~~ small fraction of the stickers issued "in the 18-month period have not

been collected. Of these noncolléctable stickers, only a few were cancelled as “erroneous,” most of

them having been issued to out-of-

town cars.

Water Main Cost Up

As a result of new building, the cost of water mains to the City is increasing, according to a Works

Board report. The City pays an-

“nual rental to the Indianapolis|?

Water Co. for use of mains and hydrants for fire protection. Approximately 56,470 feet of water mains were installed by the Indianapolis Water Co. last year, compared with 48918 installed in 1939— an increase of 7542 feet. This now gives the City 3,500,000 feet of water mains for which it paid in rental

A total censumption of about 12,000,000,000 gallons was recorded last year, the report said, compared ‘with 11,009,000,000 gallons in 1939.

II A question on warplane production was asked in| the survey for the specific purpose of discovering how well-informed, the people are on production figures. It read:

“About how many warplanes would you guess tiie United States is now producing a month?” One-half (50 per cent) of those ‘questioned ventured a guess. The median or average figure named was 800 planes a month, which means that one-half gave a figure more than 800, and one-half a figure less than 800. But as many as 26 per cent actually thought warplane production was in excess of 1100 per month. While ‘many conflicting figures on actual produ¢tion have come from defense expeits, the latest and most authoritative estimate is in the neighborhood jof 700.

The. fall of Bardia has become inevitable unless Marshal Graziani were to succeed in pressing a new offensive eastward from his present stronghold at Tobruk, 75 miles west. | He has shown no sign of engaging in any such action and the British have cut the communications between Bardia and Tobruk.

Italian Forces Reduced

British reports that 5000 Italians surrendered during the first day of the renewed fighting does not indicate any improvement in morale since | Graziani’s advance positions in Egypt were.captured last month. The British assumption that the remaining 15,000 troops of the Bardia garrison will soon be “hors de combat” thus would seem to be justified. The total number of prisoners then would probably come near to representing 25 per cent of Graziani’s total combat force. The Italians must have suffered considerable additional casualties, and the total reduction of Graziani’s active force may be near to onethird of his original offensive power. estimating it at 250,000 fighting

en. It is probable that the British now outnumber the Italians in North African combat troops. The British command of the Eastern Mediterranean should mean that not enough ceinforcements can reach Graziani from Italy to modify this uncomfortable situation to any considerable extent.

Encirclement Expected

It is presumable, that following the fall of Bardia, the British will organize the port as their principal base of supplies for an advance against Tobruk, along the coastal road, and perhaps farther south, as well, through’ the desert. If they duplicate the tactics they have used to the present, they will try to get to the rear of Tobruk, while also developing frontal pressure. That strategy had phenomenal success at Sidi Barrani. It was employed also at Bardia. The depletion of Graziani’s army may make it difficult for him to extend his Tobruk defenses sufficiently to prevent the British piercing his right flank and thus getting to his rear It. is possible, however, that by the time the British reach the Tobruk front German air squadrons may have arrived to support Craziani.

Gets $62,577,300 for Three Principal Projects, Board Reveals.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 (U. P.) — Indiana ranks ‘ third among the states in the total number of contracts for defense plant expansion, construction and equipment awarded by the National Defense Advisory Commission. A compilation published by the commission today showed that 26 states had shared in awards totaling nearly $700,006,000 for armor plate factories, high explosive plants, ammunition, and loading establishments, tank and aircraft plants and numerous shipbuilding facilities. Almost $1 in $10 was allocated to Indiana, which had a total of $62,571,300 for three projects—apparently the Charlestown TNT plant, the Kingsbury shell loading plant and the naval ordnance plant at Indianapolis. Only Missouri, with four projects totaling $111,000,261, and West Virginia, $65,353,000 had received more contacts than Indiana. The compilation did not include such additional Indiana projects as the ammunition testing ground near Madison, the naval ammunition dump at Burns City, the Allison expansion and the Curtiss-Wright, propeller factory in Indianapolis and the Studebaker expansion at South Bend.
