Passed ordinance fixing city tax rate at $1.09 cents, a one cent de"passed budget appropriating $173,000 to run city in IS 15. Increased. pay of tfive Are captalnB and assistant chief a month. Passed on first reading anrdinance creaUng the office of street Unspector and providing for themaintenance of streets and alleys Appropriated $7,000 for crematory enlargement. Aerial ladder truck refused fire department. Took up question oft keeping chickens penned. . Discussed garbage disposal. Determined to hold extra meetings to pass condensed ordinances covering old city ordinances discovered in codifying -work. The budget ordinance was lert standing practically as was introduced into council after a motion at last night's meeting to appropriate for an aerial fire truck arid drop he crematory was killed by a vote of nine to three. The tax rate was fixed at $1.09. A joint discussion of the needs of an aerial ladder truck and true necessity for additional crematory capacity was held in which every councilman who occupied' the floor declared himself in favor of sliding the crematory until next year and using $7,000 appropriated towards a fund to buy a fire truck. Mayor Robbinsiand President Bavis of the board of' works had the influence to swing the vote and when an official expression was taken, only three members of council voted for Councilman O'Neil's motion for a transfer of the crematory appropriation. Asks Crematory Delay. O'Neil stated that he had examined the crematory and found.it in no worse condition than six years ago. He declared the city would be better off If the crematory were dropped until next year. He proposed the building of a crematory then which would cremate garbage by substituting for coal as fuel the refuse of the alleys to burn the garbage. Councilman Williams seconded him and said he had watched the present , ladder wagon in a snakelike trail down i Main street in which the life of every llreman was endangered. He said he favors the use exclusively of auto trucks and spoke of the insanitary conditions of sleeping quarters where horses are kept. After other councilmen had spoken in favor of the aerial truck, Mayor Robbins Informed the body that the orders of the county health officer relative to dumping garbage outside i the city limits are supreme. Only one iiialf the garbage collected can be consumed at the crematory. President Bavis of the board of works backed up the statements of the mayor and declared a suit against the city for maintaining a nuisance is now pending. The element of reduced insurance rates was considered. Mayor Robbins advised council as a member of the Commercial club insurance committee that an aerial fire truck would affect tne rate on a few business buildings on Main street but not in the residence district. Votes Down Truck. The city attorney declared councilmen were courting violations of the law by asking farmers to come in and gather garbage. A discrepancy in the new garbage ordinance was discovered when it was found that the city is collecting money for licenses permitting farmers to do this. The garbage ordinance was passed last year. This law is not being enforced. Councilman Burdsall declared as hogs are kept in the limits of Fairview and in other parts of the city. After Chief Miller said he could '"patch up the truck for another year" council voted down the motion which would have transferred the crematory appropriation. The possibility of Richmond securing additional police protection was made small when council refused to appropriate additional salary money. Councilman Williams said a diurent element is gradually invading Richmond and the city is harder to patrol. Only twenty men are in the department now whereas thirty-one may be retained. Raise Firemen's Pay. Fire Chief Miller's request that $5 a month be added to the salaries of five captains and the assistant fire chief was granted after he told council the difficulty to make captains retain their jobs. The salaries will now be: pipemen $70, captains $75, assistant chief $80. A report of the codifying of the city ordinances was made by the city attorney. He asked that council hold extra meetings to take up ordinances which he will introduce condensing o.4 city ordinances found in the codification work. Council agreed. Mr. Bond then presented to the ordi nance committee a condensed ordinance to prevent animals from being on the -streets of the city without owners. Councilman Waidele, speaking in behalf of seventy-five or one hundred fancy chicken breeders of the city then asked that some provision be made to prevent chickens from running at large. He declared that the common property ruling of a few years ago should be placed in force. He also informed council that he has two of his neighbors chickens penned up waiting for them to become big enough to fry. To Revise Measure. The committee on ordinances -will revise the revised ordinance the city attorney handed It and include the keeping of chickens. This ordinance provides the impounding of animals found in the streets and their sale at public auction after five days. The ordinance introduced by Councilman Williams, chairman of the committee on sewers, streets and alleys ' was laid over to next meeting after council was informed that the Light, Heat and Power company had hired an inspector in compliance with the city's demand. A resume of this ordinance follows: Before the roadway of any street or alley shall be improved permanently, ft shall be the duty of every; public

Lesson in Scientific Complexion Renewing Everyone has a beautiful skin underneath the one exposed to view. Bear that in mind and it will be easier to understand the correct principle in acquiring a lovely complexion. Nature is constantly shedding the top skin in flaky particles like dandruff, only much smaller in size. In abnormal conditions, or in advancing age, these particles are not shed as rapidly as in robust youth. The longer they remain the more soiled or faded they become that's the immediate cause of a "bad complexion." It has been disebvered that ordinary mercolized wax, to be had at any drug store, will absorb these worn-out particles. The abaornt ing Nature's work, goes on gradually enough to cause no inconvenience. In a week or two the transformation is complete. The fresh, healthy-hued, youthful underskin is then wholly in evidence. You who are not satisfied with your complexions should get an ounce of mercolized wax and try this treatment. Use the wax nightly, like cold cream, washing it off mornings. (Advertisement)

Of course our sympathies are all with the Germans and Austrians," said Mr. Duning in expressing the convention's stand of neutrality. - The state alliance, he said, had started the fund for the Red Cross to assist the widows and orphans of German and Austrian soldiers with a subscreption of $100. A fund he said would be raised by each of the local branches in the state. Oppose New Constitution. Every member of the German alliance In the state will oppose the new constitution for Indiana, said Mr. Duning. The organization favors any steps which will place the saloons on a higher plane, but believes that there are sufficient measures in the old con stitution if they were enforced Wnile opposing the new constitution the alliance will propose a number of saloon reformes. The convention voted $250 to the educational fund with which to conduct the German house under Profess or Scherer at Indiana university, where a free course is given during the summer term.
