Actual printing of the 1913 acts of the legislature, which can now be started at any time by "V. B. Burford. state printer, is being delayed while Governor Goodrich discusses with other state officials his proposal that an addenda be added to the acts to explain the loss of amendments from the county unit road act. Governor Goodrich has discussed this matter with Lieut. Governor Bush and Jesse Eschbach, speaker of the house of representatives, with reference to their signing the addanda with him. This question Is expected to be settled imedi.-aely, and distribution of the books by the state printer probably will begin next week. All the final proofs have been corrected. A question concerning the conflict between the provisions cf the state tax law jind the new public library law has been presented by the state library commission to the board of tax commissioners. The tax la prohibits any taxing unit from raising more money by taxation next year than is rai:;cj during the pjresent year. The library law fixes a live cent levy as the minimum for libraries, and the state library commission sas that und.r the old system of property valuation the average levy for 200 libraries in the state is seven and one-half cents. The new valuation c2 property fit its actual value would make a five cent levy return more revenue than any library has been receiving. Tho stato board of tax commissioners has held in similar cases that the tax law, as a more recent act of thei legislature thin the laws passed previously before the new tax schedule had been completed, takes precedence over the other laws, and that the tax board controls the levies. In the 'csso of the library law the tax board will contend that it can authorize a levy lovpr than five cents. INDOOR PICNIC FOR AL HASSAN Everything is set for one of the most attractive indoor picnics that has ever been held by the Al Hassan Grotto, whose headquarters are in East Chicago but whose membership covers the entire county. The first floor cf the Ma.on!c Temple has been secured as tho place and tomorrow evening at eight o'clock is the time. Committees on sports and games, refreshments and music have been hard at work for the past two weeKs ana they have worked out a very interesting program. There is no admission charge and all Sfasons. their wives, families and Imedi.ite friends are cordially invited to Join with the boys in having an evening of fun and social enjoyment. There wil be six contests, two for the children, two for the ladies and two for the men and prizes will be awarded to the successful competitors. There is some promise of a new form of entertainment that has not been sprung before by the committees. What this will be is unknown except to a' chosen few. H. S. Evans, chairman of the stunt committee, says that it will be worth while and his work is absolute surrety that something interesting will be doing. A Victory Liberty Bond is an unequalled investment.

The Czecho-Slov-WANTS SKIP-STOP SYSTEM ENDED The East Chicago board of works, upon request of the chamber of commerce and other citizens, has ordered the II. W. & E. C. street railway company to discontinue the skip stop system on Its lines in that city. The objection to the plan came mostly from residents who live on the north end south streets where the blocks are long and wl ere tho plan of stopping only at every block has been a decided Inconvenience. During the war. tho plan was accepted without complaint as a measure of conservation of time, and energy but now that the war has closed, the demand once more is for service as good a3 can be secured. The action was taken by the board a couple of weeks ago but through an error the notice was not sent to the officials of the company until today. The elimination of the skip stops will probably be put into operation within the next few days. The company objects to the plan of cutting out the skip stops on account of the delays which it brings about in the running schedule. If you don't buy a Victory Liberty Bond you are not standing by the boys who tonight keep the Watch on The Rhine.
