ommend to the mayor for the purchase by the city
of factory sites now being held for exohant prices
by private owners and their DISTRIBUTION
FREE to companies which will locate here and

The Star agrees with Capt PaySse that his plan

that the city needs payroll
In the city which has steady payroll there
YOU will find prosperity. And steady payrols come
only with factories,
Capt PaySSe admits his plan would involve
considerable expense, but he thinks that il could
be spread out over the next couple of generations
so that the immediate effect upon the tax levy
would not be keenly felt.
Recognizing the urgent necessity during the
coming year for economy in the municipal gov
ernment The Star nevertheless is nightly inter

Property owners on North \ street
have not given up their fight to pre-
vent the paving Of that thoroughfare,
and improvement ordered by council
by a vote of II to l at meeting last
Monday night.
These property owners will In all
probability appeal the action of council
to the circuit court. Today Calvin
Young was circulating petition
among the property owners on the
street, asking that the circuit court
overrule the councilmanic order, and
it is understood that the big majority
of the resident owners had signed.
1t was the intention of the remon-
strators to file the brief in the circuit
court this afternoon. One point the re-
monstrators emphasize in the brief is
the fact that the city has no authority
to assume the cost of pla cling the pave
ment in front of the government build
ing, which the city decided to do when
the government refused to meet this
expense.

who resigns as superintendent of mails

Machine Agent Visitet
Richmond Form Basis TO-
Indictments.

Evidence obtained in Richmond con
corning the alleged relations between
Lloyd Yount. the young slot machin,
agent. and Mayor Bunch of Muncie
played an important part In the action
OF the Delaware county grand jury II
indfcting the Muncie executive on the
charge OF having accepted bribes
This fact became known today whel
Prosecutor Will Keller stated that be
fore the Delaware county grand jury
began Its sessions a representative o.
the Delaware circuit court visited
Richmond and while here was inform
ed that Yount had asserted that he
had been paying Mayor Bunch a stipu.
lated sum each week for the privilege
Of operating slot machines in that
city; and that Mayor Bunch had sug.
gested to him to call upon Mayor Rob.
bins OF Richmond. for the purpose OF
arranging for the placing of slot ma
chimes in this city.
Provides Information.
That Is the information ! want
the Delaware county official declared
Within a few days the Delaware
grand jury was assembled and one of
the first witnesses called before it
was Yount. 1t is understood that in
his testimony he corroborated the
charges it was alleged he had made
while in this city concerning Mayor
Bunch.
Since the indictment Of Mayor
Bunch true bills have been returned
by the grand jury against quite num-
Der of Muncie officials, including the
chief of police and the deputy prose
cutting attorney.
Prosecutor Keller said today that he
did not believe he nor anyone else
who figured in the arrest of Yount in
this city following Yount's arrest for
attempting to bride Mayor Robbins
and the prosecutor would be summon
ed as witnesses in the trial of the
Muncie graft cases.
THE charges Yount made against
Mayor Bunch while in Richmond will
undoubtedly be repeated by that young
man when he is called as a witness
for the state in the trial of Mayor
Bunch. So it would be unnecessary
to subpoena as witnesses Richmond
people with whom Yount talked, I'M
less of course. Yount might happen to
deny ever having made such charges
against Bunch while he was in Rich
mond." Prosecutor Keller said.
