Control -of Police

Remy, Safety Board |

In Driver's Seat Again

Police department politics took & new twist today when Mayor Geerge L. Denny- announced to the safety board that it was once more in control. Although no shakeup appeared to be in prospect, the move was regarded as definitely placing the department's top brass on a new footing, politically speaking. When the late Mayor Tyndall shook up the police ‘department several months ago after expuses of widéspread gambling, he put Howard Sanders In as chief, demoting Chief Jesse McMurtry to chief of detectives. Denny Changes Signals At that time Mayor Tyndall remarked that the new chief “will be responsible only to me.” Since then, city hall observers and also members of the safety board have assumed the mayor meant what he said. By. today’s informal move, made during a brief visit to the board meeting, Mayor Denny changed sig~ nals on Chief Sanders. His move placed Willlam Remy, board president, and the rest of the board, in the driver's seat. Had the board occupied this position right along, many observers feel, a number of things might have been different, including the appointment of Chief Sanders. Confidence in Sanders Mr. Remy declined official comment on the move beyond a terse remark that the board had “accepted” the mayor's offer.

bushels of corn and 40 pounds of supplement to make a 100-pound hog. At today’s market price that is about $14.70 worth of corn and $1.50 worth of supplement. $32 Worth of Feed Thus the farmer comes up with a feed cost of a little over $16 per hundred pounds. Hogs just under 200 pounds-bring the best price so that means it will take $32 worth of feed to bring the hog.to market. However, there is.time, labor and incidentals to- consider. ®

due’s swine feeding department, says the school considers feed 80 per cent of the farmer's’ cost in raising a hog. Consequently, the total cost of raisipg a 200-pound hog today is approximately $40. But that $40 is just costs. A farmer has to have a little pig to begin with. Some farmers have brood sows. But most buy what are called feeders. These are just past the weaning age and the price for them ranges between $12.50 and $16. $52.50 to $56 Add that to the $40 cost and It makes a total of from $52.50 to $56. The top price paid at Indianapolis stockyards yesterday was $26.75 per hundredweight, which leaves the farmer little or nothing for his 200 pound hog at present feed costs. The farmers are banking mainly on the weather to save them. Continued warm sunny days will bring along the corn crop and dispel the recent price frenzy in the market brought on by a wet, cold season. It is believed that meat prices can not go much higher or the demand will drop. But agricultural authorities are skeptical , about making any prediction on pork chop prices.
