RICHMOND PLANNING SAFE AND SANE JULY FOURTH CELEBRATION

With fireworks tabooed by a city ordinance, Richmond fire and police officials are looking forward to a safe and sane celebration of Independence day here this year. Although no plans have been made for a community gathering of any 6ort, people of Richmond and surrounding communities are urged to celebrate the Fourth along the lines planned by state officials, who have been trying to do away with needless loss of life and property. Fire Chief Miller said Thursday that there was little danger from explosive fireworks this year owing to the city ordinance, but there is still n exeat danger of tre from paper balloons. Balloons are not mentioned ?nong the list of fireworks prohibited by the city ordinance and they may still b used in Independence day celebrations. The fire chief asks, however, that this practice be discontinued due to the danger of fire arising from falling balloons. "There are more fires, or have been in the past, caused by the use of toy paper balloons, than by any other form of fireworks," the chief declared. "I have only known of two instances where fireworks other than balloons have been the cause of fireB here, and every year has brought a number of fires on Independence day." The use of Glen Miller park for picnics and other celebrations was urged by officials. Heretofore, hundreds of people have used the park for Fourth of July picnics and gatherings of this sort, and it is hoped that the crowd at the park will be even greater this year. Some effort is being made to have band concerts at the park on Independence day, although no definite arrangements have been made.

Plans are being made for a big Independence day celebration by the Red Men In connection with their car

nival. The grounds of the carnival

, are outside the city limits, and it is probable that some sort of ireworks

will be displayed mere. BUILDING REVIVAL

FORTY CITY BLOCKS MAY BE REASSESSED HERE BY TAX BOARD

That the county board of tax ' re

view has been contemplating the re

assessment of forty Richmond city blocks was learned for the first time Thursday. The property which the board considered as valued too low and which

they may decide to reassess is that lying south of South A and east of Eighth street, one of the residence sections. A state examiner for the state board who was here a week ago, was asked for a ruling on the legality of appropriating money for such a reassessment, and word was receiver through newspapers from Indianapolis today that the expense would be legal, according to Jesse Eschbach, state examiner of the board of accounts, who gave this decision to the state tax board. However, as the board of tax review has only 23 days left to work, and as members expressed themselves as believing that to be fair the whole city should be reassessed instead of any one quarter, doubt was expressed Thursday that the board would order the reassessment.- Also no formal word was received from Indianapolis.

WORM NOT DANGEROUS

dangerous, according to Walter Rat

The man who would be truly happy should not study to enlarge his es

tate, but to contract his desires.

The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.

Confide a secret to a dumb man and

it will make him speak.
