T;i\ Adjustment Board To Meet
<MX Wil l. SOON BF ISSt'ED TO MEMBERS TO MEET
SEPTEMBER 11
A call will soon be issued from the i.ffico of Gilbert E. Ogles, Putnam rounty auditor, to the members of the county tax adjustment board, for a meeting of that body September 11. The purpose of the board is the review of the proposed budgets of all r.f the taxing units of Putnam county, including the school budgets. This review will comprise the checking not only of the amounts of monies < stimated to be needed in 1940. but, in addition, the proposed tax levies to
raise the sums needed.
The Putnam county board consists of Chas. Lobdell, Floyd township; Ralph Cross, Franklin township; Philip O.

length of the German and Slovak borders; cities were streaked with newly-dug air raid trench shelters; Gdynia Harbor at the mouth of the gulf of Danzig was mined, and, to the limit of ifi* ability, the country was ready to withstand an onslaught of the German war machine. The foreign office refused all comment. But semi-officially, and typical of comment in the streets, the government radio station, referring to Adolf Hitler's 16-point plan for settling his claims on Danzig and the Polish corridor, said: "In this cynical fashion the imperialistic plans of modern Huns are revealed before the entire world— Huns whr, share no international law or morals. In the light of these demands we are first to conceive how necessary were Poland's military measures taken yesterday (mobilization of more reserves.)■’
