Only one bank submitted a bid for the
temporary loans for the board Of public

ers at the office Of City Controller Rob
ert H. Bryson.
This was the Union Trust Company,
which agreed TO loan the health depart
ment S21J0O and the sanitary depart
ment $2O0,O0 at Ga per cent interest.
Controller Bryson stated he believed
:he Union Trust Company IS entitled 10

The loan practically without profl..
IF it had not been for the Union
Trust Company officials spending three
or four days hnding customers who
would purchase the city's notes secur-
ing the loan, and that without proat to

and employees of the health department
would have been without funds By Mon
day"
The sanitary departments loan viii
mature next February, while $4,000 OF
the health departments notes will fall

The health department needed the mon

MAY RESCIND TAX
ACTION IN SHELBY
County Board and Farmers
Delegation Before State Body.

Action of the Shelby county board Of
review in rejecting the horizontal in
creases OF the state board Of tax COM
nissioners, made Aug. %, 1919, may be
rescinded, following a conference held
today between members of the Shelby
county board. representatives of the
Farmers federation Of that county and
members of the state tax board.
The conference was held as a result
Of the state board ordering horizontal
Increases in Shelby county, after the
county board OF review had rejected tho
horizontal increases of last year, and
from the objections Of a numberlof farm
crs who demanded that the valuations
be left as they were.
The board Of review stated they would
hold another meeting, tomorrow, at which
time they will net.
According to the state board, three
courses are open to the commissioners in
acting on the rejection of the horizontal
increases Of the Shelby county board.
THREE COURSES
ARE OPEN.
First, they may order horizontal IN
creases over the county, which action was
taken by them.
Horizontal increases, according to the
decision of the supreme court, may not
be ordered by the state board on coun-
ties.
Second, they may raise the levy in tho
taxing units, to provide the revenue that
would be lost should the horizontal in
creases be rejected.
Third, they may authorize the borrow
ing of money by the taxing unit, MS pro-
vided by the Tuthill Kiper tax BILL for
one year not to exceed per cent In
terest, to provide money for completing
the fiscal year, where revenues have been
depleted.
If the latter course is pursued then
IN additional levy would have to be
made to provide money for paying prin-
cipal and interest on the loan at the end
Of the year.

tion. who came to Indianapolis with tho

Of the United States army, who are here
with a big military circus, paraded be-
fore noon today through the business

They made a splendid impression as
they passed down Washington street
toward the circus grounds.
Interest seemed to center on several
tractors attached to big guns and a
small tank which was placed on a truck.
Several hundred mounted soldiers and
a number of mounted police of the city
headed the parade.
Many of the men in the parade were
wounded in the war, and this fact lent
impressiveness.
Of interest to the children who ilmmed
the streets were many clowns who frOl-
liked on big trucks and on a trick au-
- 1mObiIe.
The parade merely gave a hint Of the
magnitude of the circus, as It is claimed
that 10O cars are needed to transport
the organization from city to city and
that 700 horses are carried by the or
ganization.
The organization also includes forty
trick riders.
The first performance was given this
afternoon at the circus lot on West

GOODRICHCOAL
MINE ASKED TO
SUPPLY STATE
Company Not Member of In
diana BituminOus Oper-
atOrs' Association.
JIMS SON OWNS STOCK

The Lenoir Coal Company has
been asked to supply coal to state
institutions.
This is the company in which Gov.
Goodrich bought $4,000 worth of
stock which he gave to his son Pierre
for wedding present.
This is the company for which
Senator Joseph NJ. Cravens in his
statement to the senate contended
that Gov. Goodrich obtained special
car service.
This is the same coal company whose
affairs and connection with the COVER
nor, Fred VanNuys, United States dis
trlict attorney, says will be investigated
by the federal grand jury this fall.
Coal for state institutions was to have
been supplied by companies associated
with the Indiana Bituminous Coal Op-
orators association,
The Lenoir company is not member of
the association.
Despite this fact. the Lenoir company
has been assigned" 5000 tons Of coal to
be supplied to the Indiana Village of
Epileptics at Newcastle
1t is estimated the company will re-
ceive approximately $1,000 for this coal.
the governors family, Of course, bene-
fiting in proportion to the amount of
stock they hold.
1t is rumored the governor viii do as
he did previously when it was discov-
cred one of the companies in which his
family was interested was about to sup
ply coal to the state-demand that none
be supplied until after he ceases to be
governor Jan. l. 1921.
No explanation has been made as to
why the Lenoir company has been asked
to supply coal, despite the fact it is not
member of the operators association.
Under an act passed at the special ses-
sion of the Legislature the public service
Commission has the power to give pri-
~orlty to car movements to mines sup
plying coal for state institutions
Under this act the Goodrich public
service commission may order priority in
the movement of cars to the Goodrich
family coal mine.

MUCH CONFUSION
Is EXPECTED.
The petition filed by the district at

siderable confusion so far as it applies

According TO Prosecutor Claris Adams
the liquor is in the custody of the sheriff
pending the appeal OF the Haag ~broth-

they were convicted, to the Indiana SUI

In this connection the question has

seized on a search warrant.
The law provides that liquor seized

seized it as long as case in which 1t
is involved is pending.
Under this provision the booze would
