The tax rate in the city is thus in
creased nine cents on the 500. The
causes are improved roads entirely.
No other item Of increase was made
except where other rates were not de-
creased to equaliZe.
The county council left the county
general fund tax at 31.9 cents. II de-
creased the south side bridge FUND
from two cents to one cent. 1t IN
creased the bond sinking fund from six
cents to seven cents, which is the nor
NAL rate.
The county commissioners increased
the tax rate for the maintenance OF
county roads from seven to nine cents.
This is due to the fact that almost
one hundred miles of township roads
will be thrown on the county between
this month and the first OF the year,
bringing the total mileage OF county
roads from 240 to $40.
The real increase in taxes is auto

the three-mile-road law. Last year the
rate was "a cents. Because the first

FIREMAN PLUNGES
TO HARD ROADWAY
WHEN TRAINS HIT
Thomas Crowder of Peru,
Suffers No Broken Bones
After Thirty-five Foot
Plunge From Cab.

Believing 1t was necessary to jump
for his life when two G. & O. freight
trains collided on the trestle directly
east of the city light plant last night
about 1880 O'Clock, Thomas Crowder,
Of Peru, Ind, fireman on the south
bound train, jumped through the cab
window alighting in the street thirty
five feet below. 1t was thought at first
that he had been seriously injured but
after an examination by the physician
1t was found that no bones had been
broken and that his injuries consisted
chiefly of cuts and bruises. The acct
dent occurred as the two trains were
rounding the curve between the Main
street viaduct and the North Second
street crossing.
Both freight trains were heavily
loaded and were going at fairly fast
rate of speed. The engineers saw the
impending danger in time to put on
the emergency brakes so no serious
damage was done to the engines.
Crowder was firing when the engineer
gave the warning of the impending
danger. He raised up from his stoop-
ing position and saw the head light of
the approaching engine. Not knowing
how fast the trains were going, he
jumped from the cab window believ-
ing that he would alight on the ground
only eight or ten feet below. The en-
CINE at this time was directly above
the street that goes from North Sec.
ond street to the light plant.
The north bound freight train was a
double header and was going at a
greater rate of speed. Emergency
brakes brought the trains almost to a
stop before the crash. The north
bound engine was damaged to the ex
tent of wrecked pilot and severe
wrenching of the front trucks. The
south bound engine was not seriously
damaged.
