into the charges made by Governor
Osborn against Tax Commissioner

not be called unless 1t was absolutely
necessary.
Mr.. Guck testified that Tax Commits

ids Herald. after that paper had pub
lished articles against the work OF the
state tax commission.
Prof. David Friday testified that the

was brought out during discussion
as to Mr. Shields ability and eff

CITY'S FUNDS ARE
AT VERY Low EBB

city Treasurer Koch says that De-
troit has less cash available for run
ming expenses at present than at any
other time in the past 10 years. The
sum on hand, outside the sinking fund
cash. is $35,767. Money will begin to
pour into the treasury on July /, when
taxes fall due.
"One reason for the scarcity of cash
at present is the fact that the city
bought SO many of its own bonds in
the past year with unexpended bal
ances." said Mr.. Koch. THAT was
done to save the city from paying an
excessive rate to bond buyers. It's a
good plan. but don't think we should
carry 1t too far. Also, the change in
the law governing the payment or
primary school money, received from
the state, crippled us considerably.
The city has advanced $4,000 to the
school funds. We will not receive any
primary school money until fall
