ADJUSTMENT OF TAX
LEVY IN Ohio URGED
IN AUDITORS REPORT
tBy Associated Press)

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec 1S-Abol
ishment of the state tax levy of 4,175
mills will be recommended by State
Auditor Joseph T. Tracy, in his annual
report to the governor for the fiscal
year ended June so, 1922, he SAID
today.
The report has been in the hands of
the printer since Oct 1, and advance
sheets are to be ready soon for dis
tribution to members of the general
assembly. ,..N
"a continuous study of the reve-
nues accruing to the state from indi.
rect sources impels me to the con
clusion that it is entirely safe to rule
on indirect revenues and wholly elimi-
nate any levy for purely state pur-
poses,'' Mr.. .Tracy's report will say.
The levy should he abolished, ac-
cording to the auditor, because of the
steadily increasing balance in the gen
eral revenue fund during the last
two years.
A total of 265 mills of the levy is
made for support of the schools. In
case it is done away with, Tracy rec
commends boards OF education set lar
ger 1eVies.
Provision for Education
Funds for the support of education
both common schools, universities and
normal schools, now derived from tax
alton, can be provided by appropria
tion from the general revenue fund
he advised.
On the 1921 duplicate, the state levy
brought total of $1,000. 1882. The
remainder of the tax IS divided in this
manner: 5 mills sinking fund;
mills new roads; Is mills in aid O
weak school districts, .25 to provide
funds for institutional building, anC
.125 mills to provide money for the
erection of new buildings at Ohit
State University, Ohio and Miam
| Universities.
| Money expended N education, th'
/ state auditor asserted, is just as mucl
4 an investment as moneys expended fo
/ new buildings and new roads, "but h.
| advised the strictest economy 0
| boards of education in the collection
/ and spending of school funds.

CITIES WHERE HOUSE
SHORTAGE CONTINUES
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, Dec. Richmond.
Ind, is listed as one of the 164 cities
included in a recent survey where a
housing shortage continues to exist
Only fifty-three cities reported no
shortage of homes.
The volume of building in virtually
all the cities which have been surveyed
is considerably in excess of last year.
In the majority of these cities the
building already completed this year
is in excess of any previous year.
Figures on dwelling house rents col
lected by the National Association of
Real Estate Boards disclose that rents
are advancing rather than declining.
Residence property sales were reported
as good in about half of the cities from
which reports were received. Labor
conditions in the construction field
were reported generally as good with
| little or no unemployment
Freight Rates Factor
Freight rates have a great deal to
do with the variation of prices of
| building materials in different cities.
A recent survey of prices made by the
census bureau for the division of
building and housing of the bureau of
standards shows a wide range in rep
resentative cities. The prices given
are those paid by contractors for mate
rials delivered on the job.
| The highest price paid for common
brick was at $25 thousand at Scran-
| ton, Pa, and the lowest price, $12, at
Columbia, S. C. Portland cement was
cheapest in Washington, where the
price was $3.50 per barrel, as against

cHEAGo's MYSTERY TEAM
 ALL SET FOR PRINCETON

Chicago, Oct. 26-(By the A. P.)- Chicago, the mystery" team of the western conference is ready for her seconl clash with Princeton here Sat urday afternoon in what will be the country's biggest football game. When the Maroons face the Tigers.
 Not one of the 32,Uo0 persons lucky enough to hold a ticket for the game could figure out tonight whether the Maroons have a highly polished open attack up their sleeve or whether A. Alonso Stagg, Chicago's 61 year old veteran coach, plans to win by straight football tactics with the few simple plays he has showed in the three games his team has played this sea- son.
 Chicagos line, which made a cred itable showing against Princeton last year, is a trifle stronger this season. King, weighing 236 pounds, is a tower of strength at center. The team has a surplus of backfield material, the quarterback position being the only position that may cause Stagg any worry.
 The Tigers will arrive here Fri day and will work out on Stagg field.

 Two protests were lodged against the Bluenose by Chairman Machines covering three points.

The second protest alleged that in the series the Bluenose used a suit of sails of finer quality than the ordinary fisherman's duck.

Holes-in-one are not uncommon these days. but hole in one when you need it most is a rare avis.

Benton vice. president of the Metropolis Golf Associa- tion and Rodney Jarvis, another mem. Der at the Hudson River Country Club Yonkers, N. Y.
 Doty and Brown reached the seven. teenth tee 1 up and 1 to go.
