Branigin Declares October As Cooperative Month Governor Roger D. Branigin has officially declared October as Cooperative Month. Cooperatives provide a means through which people and groups work together to attain a desired goal that could not be attained by the individual atone. There are many t\-pes of cooperal tires. Some co-ops are owned by i the consumers; some by pro- | ducers. A rural electric is one type ; of consumer-owned cooperative. Wherever you live in Indiana you I are actually a neighbor of the 1187,393 Hoosiers who are supplied with electricity by their own business — the rural electric cooperatives. In Kosciusko County The Kosciusko County REMC now has over 5.600 member families receiving service. It has paid back with interest over 95 per cent of all money borrowed from the Rural Electric Administration and has returned savings to its members SIBO,OOO and has authorized another payment in the near future. GOP ASKS PART OF STATE FUNDS FOR SCHOOLS A proposal by a group of Republican members of the Indiana General .\ssembly for distribution of a part of the huge state general fund surplus to local school units for relief of property taxes would have provided Kosciusko county with $6(11,050.00 to be applied toward property tax relief according John P. Gallagher. Republican candidate for auditor of the state. Hie Republican legislators requested the Governor to call a special session and were prepared to offer a bill which would di\-jdc $56 million of the S9O million surf>lus to local school units on a basis of SSO per pupil. Gallagher said Kosciusko county wilii 12.021 students would receive $601,050 00 through this method of division of the fund. According to Gallagher removal of the $56 million from the surplus still would leave a hefty ballance which could be distributed to cities and towns on a basis yet to be determined To date the Governor has refused to act on the demand for a special session although a group of legislators in his own party also have requested the special session. When the demand for the extra session was made the Governor referred the matter to a non-official group of Democrats who comprised the party’s platform advisory committee which has recommended to the Governor that he not call the special session. Louie Garrison, who has been spending some time al Syracuse, has returned to the Soldier and Sailors Home at Lafayette.
