ANTICIPATED IN CITY TAX RATE
Meeting Debates Street Railways, lllegal Fund As Clerk Drones On.
By RICHARD LEWIS Well, here we are again with the city budget. ~ Last time I saw it was back in 1042. Then it was $8,000,000. Last night; the 1947 budget was introduced into city council.’ It was $15,321,532.28. We sure are growing around here. During the intervening war years, there were plenty of other things to think about and I lost track of budget. But last night in the smoky council chamber at city hall there it was again, Same—Only Bigger The same old budget, it was, only bigger and better. Frank Noll Jr, city clerk, read it off in that rap:d monotone which all city clerks learn to use, because it says in the law you have got to read »ff new ordinances so councilmen who can't read will know what it“is all about. While he was droning away, everybody was talking about something else, and somebody sailed a paper airplane. Nobody cocked an eyebrow at the new budget estimate which will require a fax rate of $2408. That is about 83 cents more than we pay now, provided ‘the collector catches up with us. Bowers, Bobbitt There Herman E. Bowers, chairman of the finance committee, was having a low-toned conference with Arch N. Bobbitt, corporation counsel. Roy E. Hickman, city controller, was there and so was his aide-de-camp, Larry Parsons. Mr, Hickman never cracked a smile and I didn't hear him say anything. Pretty soon, he left. Mr. Parsons said the federal public housing authority in Chicago has awarded William Mohler of this city the contract to erect 258 more houses for veterans out of barracks from Pt. Harrison. These will be located as follows: 100 at Stout Feld; 96 at Belmont
White River pkwy. I mention this because it was news to me.

Percheron Adopts. Small Dairy Calf
Times Special NOBLESVILLE, Ind, Aug. 6— The “adoption” of a small 100pound dairy calf by a 2,000-pound Percheron -brood mare bids fare to be the most famous adoption case in the history of Hamilton county. The “adoption” occurred on the farm of Fred Carpenter, in White River township, several miles northeast of here, When a large Percheron mare and a young Guernsey calf were turned into the same pasture this summer by Mr. Carpenter, the big mare “adopted” the “mothers” it as she would her own offspring.

So they decided to appropriate the $2500 to find out how. “Have you got $2500 in the general fund, Larry?” Mr. Bobbitt called over from across the room. This didn’t bother Mr. Noll who was still reading the budget, pausing now and then to come up for air, Doesn't Have It Mr. Parsons shook his head. Mr. Bobbitt signalled him to come over.

Even a worse problem confront ing the college is the near-impossi-bility of property purchases by new faculty members, Last week, an educator was hired to head the mathematics department. He immediately began a search for living quarters and, after four days, threw up his hands at the “unreasonableness” of the prices being asked, indiscating that it would be cheaper to buy a house in Chicago.

Car Racket Booms , In Mexico City
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 6.—American tourists have a sweet racket in Mexico City, though it's a oneshot affair, Here is the way it works: An American drives a used car for which he paid $800 in the States into Mexico City, He sells it here for anywhere from $1,500 up. The buyer reimburses the seller for the amount of the bond which he has been required to sign and post at the border guaranteeing that he will not sell his car in Mexico. The Mexico City buyer turns around and sells the automobile for $3000 or more, for export to Spain. Everybody is happy but the new car dealers, As for the American, he has to pay a couple of hundred dollars to fly back home but at that he's still away ahead of the deal.
