them until their draw in jun e U>34. kou will note that we have suffered a loss in assessed valuation of almost a million dollars, yet we have reduced oui tax rate each succeeding y’ear since we took over the city government, that we have also made a reduction in late from 87 cents in 1930 to 73 cents in 1932, which makes a total legitimate rate reduction of 15 cents on each hundred dollars of assessed valuation; this is as it should he and demands your commendation at our hands. Our rate reductions have saved the taxpayers $25,000 in four years. We are happy to report that our file department has been able to hold down fire losses to a minimum for which we have received the commendation of our fire rate-making officeis at Indianapolis. We should not neglect buying a new supply of fire hose at a near date. Our street department is keeping our streets in good condition and our stret commisisoner is to be complimented for his efficiency in the care of the streets at lowered cost. Our police department is ever on the job and are holding down misdemeanors to a low point. Our schools are functioning splendidly under the present management and we trust our youths will grasp their present opportunity to obtain uselul knowledge for their future

needs.

The people of our city are steadfast!} r landing by us ready and willing to give to us their best efforts in behalf of our cit}'s needs and with this situation existing we shall not

fail, but succeed.

Respectfully submitted.

Mayor.

The annual meeting of the Putnam County Credit Association was held at the Presbyterian church Tuesday evening. It proved to he a fruitful evening for member merchants and about fifty Putnam county firms were

represented.

At the business session, nine direc- | tors were elected as follows: Harry Allan, Russell Brown, Frank Cannon, Lawrence Hammond, Jesse McCoy, R. P. Mullins, Fred L. O'Hair, Gray Potter and C. C. Tucker. These directors will soon elect the officers from

their number.

General credit conditions and policies of the organization for the coming year were discussed openly and , frankly by the membership and further preparations for publication of credit information was made. This no doubt will prove highly beneficial to the members during the coming

year.

Merchant members from Greencastle, Bainbiidge, Cloverdale, Morton and other communities were present. Two resolutions were passed, which will be sent to the Putnam county representatives in the Indiana legisla lure, Harry Stamp and Ira Clouser. One was against the sales tax nowpending and the other w-as against | the state taking over the making of j cement at the Indiana state farm as | has been proposed. There was consideiable bitter de- ] nunciation of the proposed sales tax j on the part of local merchants and j no one favored it. Several made the , statement that they had written Rep- ' resentative Stamp protesting against it and others were urged to do likewise. The resolution passed unanimously condemned both propositions.

The Republican State committee ha.- set Janizary 2s for the reorganization of all city committees and a.- a result. A. R. Chenoweth, city chaii man, has issued a call for all city precinct committeemen t > meet next Saturday for reorganization purposes. This will be the first step in the campaign for the coming city pri

maty.

The Democratic state committee lias fixe I a date in iFebruary for their organization meeting, and from here on there wall probably be more or less activ ity in citv politics in Greencastle

as well as over In liana.

In connection with the city organization, there is talk of candidates and the most likely Republican candidate is ex-mayor C. 1' Zeis, who states he will likely make formal announcement in a few days. It is also talked that Mayor Denman may be a candiI date for re-election, although no oflicial announcements have come fiom

any prospective candidate.
