Before tirs licet ends its task, it will have traveled 200,000 miles, it entails a tremendous responsibility. Indiana's state police are in the midst of inspecting these buses to determine if they are mechanically fit for this iii ixntant chore. It was necessary to use vehicles during the war that would have been condemned in normal times. With iiew equipment presently available, the State School ' Bus Ccnmiitlce has ordered that bus bodies or chassis manufactured before 1938' be replaced before the fall term next year. Troopers have been ordered to enforce the edict. - The ruling will necessitate -adjustments in cases where bur, contracts extend beyond the 1948 replacement deadline. However,' it. is pointed out that other states' are not so lenient in-the use of ageing equipment. And it would be criminal to expose our youth in buses no lnger considered safe.

DAILY TIMES Against Bond Issue

To the People of Sullivan County, Indiana. You have had plenty of time to read and study the '-Memorandum" sent out to Boxholders last week. Please . consider it again after reading this article. ' Under Building Plans: . General contract for four story new unit, etc. $229,125,00 Read all other items listed. Please note that out of the

'$470,000.00 requested, only $20,203.001 is allowed for alterations jto present building which we jhave been told is in such a sad ; state of repair. They tell you so jmuch is needed on present buildj ing, but out of all the money they !ask, $20,203.00 is going to be ; spent to put that building in first ! class condition. 1 Please study all of that memorandum carefully and determine for yourselves if you want your money to be spent as set out: . Plumbing contract for new addition $21,200.00 Heating contract for new addition $24,800.00 Electric wiring contract, new addition $18,000.00 Architect and supervision fees $19,000.00 Read and study this for yourselves. They say contracts. Are they getting their contracts ready before the taxpayers approve this bond issue? Are they so inconsiderate of the taxpayers wishes that they aren't waiting for their approval? Don't you want some voice in this matter? Then continue to sign petitions opposing this bond issue for $470,000.00 for additions to Mary Sherman Hospital. That sounds like too much money for the things it buys. We work for our money. Let's have some voice in spending it. SIGN PETITIONS OPPOSINGG THIS BOND ISSUE. A Taxpayer.

Editor, Sullivan Times. ! I thought for a while that I would stay out of this. But being ,'a bricklayer, sortie would say I was for the hospital bond issue, just to get a job. But the good people of .Sullivan County who jknow me better, for I have been 'forced by some clique or others (like them to spend two-thirds of ; my life away, from home and Sullivan County working and trying to make enough money to raise my two boys and pay my taxes, which with the help of God I have done so far, and all that I owe Sullivan County for taxes is the fall installment due next month. Can. some of the people who call themselves the Sullivan County Taxpayers Association say that much and tell the truth'.' ' Now, Editor, lets go back' a few years into the History of Progress and improvement of Sullivan County and the City of i Sullivan. You, dear editor and I some of the folks who call them- ' selves the Sullivan County TaxpayersAssociation may not remember that far back. But, Mr. Editor, if you don't remember, ask the publisher of the Sullivan Daily Times, who was calling his weekly paper at that time the Sullivan Democrat. When the talk came up to take the old hitchrack away from around the old Court House where they would drive their horse and buggy, or horse and wagon to' town and let the poor horse stand' all. day and paw and fight the flies in knee-deep stagment water, .well, what a kick was made. The people or most of them was gofng to stop coming to Sullivan to trade, but a brave group of our citizens and county commissioners went ahead as they should and removed tha water troughs and hitching racks ,'and Sullivan City's only loss was not hearing the frogs croak at night. Would this same clique that fought the removal of the hitchrack want them back today? Then later there was talk of an interurban line coming to town from Terre Haute. They did not I want that because the people would go to Terre Haute and trade. But vit came and stayed until the auto age forced it out, and Sullivan County still progressed and its people prospered. Then the talk came up of paving the public square with brick. Ji was also fought, but it was done

'and don't think anyone wants it removed today, or the concr3te 'sidewalk and curb around ' the Court House cither, i Now, in closing, let me tell one and all of you that is fighting this hospital bond issue and are trying to fool the taxpayers on the subject of industry instead, please go to the bank and draw out all of your -money, then have . it changed into dimes. Go through the pile, look good and hard and pick out the oldest and most worn one. It will be very thin. And just remember this, you can't take it with you when you die, but if you will put 4 cents with it and pay the tax on $100 of the hospital bond issue, you might save a life. I thank you, J Yours respectfully, ! . Fred Smith.

SOME PEOPLE get along under higher prices by using less or doing without. Some hn ve more income to help meet higher costs. All can adjust outgo to income,'" to a large extent. But a railroad cannot skimp or do without and still provide good, efficient and safe service adequate to the needs and desires ..of the public. , The chart at left shows why the Eastern Railroads have had to ask for an increase in freight rates. The simple reason is that the increases allowed since 19j9 are nowhere near enough to meet today's costs. The rev-

enue the railroads get for hauling the average ton of freight is only 15 more, whereas the cost of operating the railroads has increased more than 63 in that period. Only recently, for instance, an arbitration board added another JS468.000.000 to our annual bill for wages and wage taxes, of which $187,000,000 is borne by the Eastern Railroads. This brings the increase in these items alone to more than 75 since 1959. All the railroads ask is what the law says they should be allowed to have. That means just and reasonable rates. The law says there is need in the public interest for adequate and efficient railway transport tation service at the lowest cest consistent with furnishing such service. In other words, all the railroads ask is sufficient revenue to enable them, under honest, economical and efficient management, to provide the kind of service people want. ,
