According to the conditions govern
ing the contest each pilot is required
to select the town outside of a thirty

miles of the postoffice of the town, or.
If two or more balloons land within
this distance, the winner will be the
one who lands nearest. Numerous pill

thereby decide which town or city they
will select as their landing place.

BAD BREAKS Or
BAD FIGURING?
Indiana Cities Are Reported to Have Overstepped
Their Debt Limit in Reports Sent to
State Statistician.

Either poor figuring by city clerks
or reckless borrowing by cities is re-
sponsible for some strange reports re-
ceived by Mary Stubs Moore, state
statistician, on municipal Indebtedness
in Indiana. According to the reports
Evansville, Madison, New Albany, La
fayette and Lawrenceburg went way
beyond their borrowing limit in 1907.
The information sought by the sta
tistician was the amount in figures that
a city might borrow, the amount it had
borrowed and the amount 1t could yet
borrow The state permits a civil city
to borrow any amount not to exceed 2
per cent of its total taxables.
The reports from eighty-seven cities,
now compiled, show that various cities
exceeded their limit. but the glazing
instances were in the five cities named.
Evansville had borrowed the big sum
of s1303,S73. too much. Madison had
overborrowed itself by $151,329.10 and
New Albany had exceeded its limit by
s147, 226.3O. The excuses for Lafay-
cite and Lawrenceburg were $53,601.40
and $50, 1880, respectively.
