Cloverdale's New School Is Delayed By Remonstrance

A remonstrance, filed with Carl Arnold. Putnam County Auditor, will delay proceedings applicable to the bond issue for the proposed erection of a new school building at Cloverdale. The remonstrance opposes the execution of a lease by the Cloverdale Community School Building Corporation. The remonstrance petition sets out that no necessity exists for the execution of such a lease. It further states that the proposed lease is unnecessary, unwise and that the lease rental is not fair and reasonable for the reason that it calls for the expenditure of $49,000 per year for 30 years. The petition says this sum is highly disproportionate to the assessed valuation of the property in the townships within the Cloverdale Community School Corporation territory’. The petition also says that the average daily attendance at present in the Cloverdale Community schools, or as projected, cannot justify a structure of the size of the building proposed. It also cites many other items of expense in connection with the operation of said additional facilities such as construction of sewers would constitute an added burden on the taxpayers. The remonstrance will be presented to the Indiana State Board of Tax Commissioners for consideration and no further action can be taken until this board issues a ruling. Only 29 persons in the four townships in the school district remonstrated. Persons signing the remonstrance are: Albert E. Cox. Christine Michael. Margaret Haltom. John A. Smith. Ernest Ross, John Leonard. Vema Smith. Roy Foster. William A. Jones. Gale T. Tmesdel. Rose Smith. Eva Hurst Job. Austin Wheeler. Faye Brakefield. Amy E. Scott, E. E. Buckingham Rosemary Morton. Maune M. Polk. Jesse G. Cummings. Verlie Rice. Grover Hart, Lena Buis. Richard Rice, Elmer Patton, Ollie Smith. Leona Jones, John F. Cantwell. Carl E. Taylor.

IN THE! GOOD OLD DAYS Hl.K.s OF THE BANNER 1937 Fur Business is Enormous Then an area, such as Putnam County, which has been settled for a century and more, and has had its surface well cleared of forest trees, and with hundreds of men and boys hunting through the remaining woods and the fields, and along the streams assiduously, throughout the season, should continue to produce a really large quantity of furs, every season, taken from wild animals, is really remarkable. Yet Putnam County has done this through many decades and. this year, has the honor of being at the top of the list of licensed fur buyers, for the entire state, as regards the number of licenses

issued.

Herman C. Riley, state game warden operating in this county, has completed his collecting of statistics for the fur business of Putnam County, as is required by the state conservation department. His report for this country. contains the names of fifteen licensed dealers, and the amount of money paid out by them, almost entirely to local hunters and trappers, is astounding. Charles Keck. Ne v Maysville. $500.00. Roland Lane, Greencastle, $3,349.89; Isaac Brattain, Route 4. Greencastle. $1,150; Riley King. Roachdale. $2,207.00: Carl Hughes, Roachdale, $2,995.88; William Stafford. Roachdale. $1,957.95; Charles Grimes, Russellville. $1,200.00; Llewellen F. Nicholson, Russellville, $21,278.73; Carl Phillips, Fillmore $1,590.50; W. E. Powell, Cloverdale. $3,762.00 R. L. Job and Jesse Job. Cloverdale. $22,000; George McMurtry. Route 2. Roachdale. $534.25; Charles Perkins, New Winchester. $1,100; Charles C. Crawley. Greencastle. $100.00 and Noel G. Nicholson, Russellville, j $1,091.17. Some of the local trap-1 pers ship their catches direct to| dealers in St. Louis. New York and Chicago, between 5 and 10 percent of the fur being thus handled, without handling by licensed local dealers. IxM-al Carrier Boys Given Awards Carriers of the Indianapolis News and Banner who have fullfilled requirements of the Newspaper Boys of America, were given appropriate awards at a ceremonial meeting at the First Christian Church.

Ristine Wants Adjusted Gross Tax Law Tested INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine Friday urged Governor Welsh to immediately test in the courts the constitutionality of Indana’s adjusted gross income tax law. The state’s new sales tax law, scheduled to become effective July 1, was declared unconstitutional a week ago by a circuit judge and the state was enjoined from enforcing it. Ristine said he talked briefly with Welsh and urged the chief executive to “explore the possibility of getting an early test of the other tax measure.” “This is just preventive maint e n a n c e , * ’ Ristine said. “It should be done during this interim period before the Supreme Court rules on the sales tax so we will have a minimum

of confusion.”

Ristine said he feels also that a test should be made of the intangibles tax law which has been in effect for years. He said a recent Indiana Supremi Court decision “obliquely raised a question” about the constitutionality of that tax. Ristine said he also urged that in the event Welsh calls a special session of the legislature, that he call special elections to fill vacancies at least 30 days in advance. He said he did not know if any other legislators plan to resign but if

they do it would give them a chance to do so in time for their seats to be filled.

Director Two Years — Cliff Coffman and G. L. Hanks Director One Year — Gene Hess and Ivan Proctor Following this business Ernest Roth gave a very interesting comparative report on a recent visit to England and Holland as they are now related to 25 years ago. His visit in England in February found temperatures much as in Bainbridge but no adequate method of heating homes. He reported the conservative views of the English who stay by the old way of doing things. In Holland which was occupied by the Germans during World War II. they have made great progress in overcoming their severe treatment delegated by the Nazi. He mentioned that his trip 25 years ago by boat took five i days by ship while his trip this year took six hours by jet plane with much more comfort. His talk led to many questions and an interesting period of discussion. Postmaster Cliff Coffman reported the new ZIP program of fast mail delivery beginning July 1. All letters will use the new ZIP number 46-105 to help this faster service. The club will have a Ladies Night meeting July 17. New’ officers of the club will be installed then.

Cloverdale ZIP Code Announced Our five-digit ZIP Code is 46120. Cloverdale Postmaster V. L. Larkin announced today. “Everyone in Cloverdale will use this ZIP Code on all their correspondence, to speed mail deliveries and reduce the chance of missent mail. “Postmaster Larkin said. ZIP Code, the Post Office Department’s revolutionary new system of improved mail dispatch and delivery, goes into effect nationally on July 1. Postmaster Larkin stressed the importance of all citizens of ZIP Code and using it in their return address on all correspondence. In answering mail, he said. Zip Codes taken from return addresses on incoming mail should be used. “The ZIP Code is literally the last word in mail addressing," Mr. Larkin said. “It should follow the city and state in addresses”. He cited this example of the proper use of ZIP Code: V. L. Larkin Box No. 2 Cloverdale. Ind. 46120 The new ZIP Code plan. Mr. Larkin said, for the first time will permit the Post Office Department to short-cut repeated address reading. The address on mail must often be read as many as eight or ten times by postal employees, to get it to the proper destination." Mr. Larkin said. “Each handling slows the process of mail dispatch and adds to the opportunity for human error. “With ZIP Code, a clerk needs only to glance at the code to know immediately to what national area, state and post office the letter is destined, and to speed it on its way, cutting up to 24 hours off the time between anH Holivprv
