MAYOR SIGNS BILL
TO ENLARGE CITY
Wealth of City Increased
100000 and Population
Boosted 500 by Act.

Mayor Ralph Gaylor last night
signed the bin which enlarges the
city 900 acres and increases the
population OF Mishawaka by 500.
The assessors figures show that
the property annexed Monday night
by action Of the council and APP
proved by the mayor last night IS
valued al upwards OF 100000, and
a conservative estimate has IL that
the population OF Mishawaka has
been increased by the given figure.
The charges that Mayor GaylOr
was attempting by this act OF an
nexation TO replenish a depleted
treasury have fallen fiat and unless
the property owners OF the annexed
properties who were the professors
take action in the courts the new
order Will stand
Mayor GaylOr yesterday dismissed
the charges as advanced at the
meeting Of the council with the
statement that since his accession
10 Office the Indebtedness Of the city
had been materially reduced and the
treasury fund re-established. This.
the mayor holds, is full redemption
of campaign pledges since II is in
substance work which is the equiv
alent 10 a reduction OF the city tax
rate City officials likewise point
out that ordinarily when a scheme
FOR the rehabilitation Of the citys
finances is undertaken it means an
increase i'm the tax rate Of the city;
whereas in this instance such has
been accomplished without any un-
pleasant action.
General satisfaction as 10 the ac-
tion OF the council and mayor was
expressed on the streets Tuesday.
