HARTFORD TRIMS
LOCAL SCHOOL nine
Franklin Square Aggregation Is
SmOthered Under Avalanche

The local High school baseball nine
we're handed trouncing by the Hart
ford High school team yesterday aft
ernoon at St. Mary's fieA. The game
was a weird exhibition of baseball by
both teams with the locals coming
out on the short end of IA to 5
score.
Ragged support.
The playing OF both aggrcgations
was ragged and the support given to
the pitchers, especially Gray, the To-
cal twirler, was very poor New
Britain fell down miserably in the
pinches. and despite an exciting rally
in the eighth inning when they pushed
terest in the contest for the specta-

fest, Hartford getting II hits while
New Britain got eight.
That Fatal Third.
The third inning settled the hash
Of the Franklin Square crew, for in
this frame, the Hartfordites found
Gray for nine runs. The support
given the local slab artist was ter
rble and many misplays and blunders
accounted for the bulk Of the runs
scored in this frame. The Hartford
crew slammed everything that Gray
served up and with the local field
ers booting them, their runners made
the circuit without any trouble.
Van Orden Relieved.
At no stage OF the game were the
local swatsters at all dangerous. Van

incidence 1t was Captain Eddie Rick
enbacher who gave Murphy the
checkered flag In token Of victory.
the same Murphy who rode beside
Rickenbacher as a mcchanician in the
race here six years ago.
Glory for Hartz.
Some of the glory and also some
of the prize money that Murphy was
generally believed to have gained Slip
ped away overnight. Murphy was
credited with holding the lead
throughout the race and winning nll
of the prizes offered for leadership IN
the various laps of the contest, but
speedway officials today announced
that there had been some miscalcula-
tons and that apparently Hartz, an
other Los Angeles racer. who finished
second, held the lead during part Of
the race and was entitled to some Of
the lap prizes.
Time is Questioned.
There was also some question as to
the authenticity Of Murphy's record
time as announced yesterday, which
is 16 minutes better than the record
established by Ralph De Palma in
winning the event here in 1915. De
Palma's time was 5;33:55:51.
Much confusion existed among the
judges and timers at the 20oth mile,
and the announcement was made that
Hartz had gone into first place. This
announcement was later withdrawn,
but when the official tabulation was
started at the close of the race the
possibility that Murphy might have
been displaced as leader for a time
was again brought forward.
Officials said they expected to COM
plete the tabulation sometime today.

AUTOMOBILE FINANCE

DRoBABLY most Of the high
: grade automobile manufactu tur-
ers experienced the affect of hard
times during 1921. Some of the
more moderate priced companies
also shared in the general depres-
sion. 1t may interest the owners
of tin Lizzie to know how hard
times hit the manufacturers of the
Pierce-Arrow company. We find
in the Wall Street Journal this
comment on the last report of the
Pierce-Arrow company: "The an
nual report Of the Pierce-Arrow
company is just twice as bad as the
quarterly reports indicated. AS per
quarterly reports, a deficit of be-
tween $4,0O0,O00 and $5,OOO,O0O was
indicated. The annual report shows
an actual deficit Of nearly $o,OOO,-
900. Picrce-Arrow's surplus was not
only wiped out, but there is profit
and loss deficit Of $4,422,O0O. The
report shows $7,15o,OOo owed to the
banks. Since December 331 the
company has borrowed an addi-
tional $1,o00,000, making total bank
loans S8,15O,OOO. The loss last wear
was equal to almost 500 a share on

CITY NOT LIMITED
To 10 MILL LEVY
RANKIN S RULING
Municipal Tax May Be as High
as :33 Mills Effect of
Opinion.

Giendive, March 12.-The cities of
Montana are not limited to levy Of
10 mills for general municipal pur-
poses. but can levy as high as 30 or
even 33 mills. This is the effect Of
a ruling made by Attorney General
Wellington p. Rankin.
The question was first raised by
n. NJ. Coursollo, city attorney of Glen
dive. In his opinion. the attorney
general points out that in levying taxes
for municipal purposes, cities were and
are limited to Il per cent on the as
of the city When this law was
passed, all property was assessed and
taxed upon what was presumed to be
100 per cent valuation. Hence. upon
a 100 per cent valuation, the limit was
10 mills. However, the legislature in
1919 required ali assessors to make
an assessment of all property at 1O0
per cent valuation, and also provided
that the clerk in extending the taxes
was to make levy on property at
different percentages. In determining
whether the assessors figures or the
clerks computation should be the BASIS
limit of indebtedness. the supreme
court of Montana held that the asses
sor's figures or the 100 per cent value
should govern. Applying the same prin-
ciple to the limit Of taxation for cities,
the attorney general holds the 100 per
cent or assessors shall govern.
In the case of Glendive the 100 per
cent value of all property is 50: W.
O73. One per cent or 10 mills OF TINS
sum is s51 1,92O.73, which is the limit it
may raise in dollars and cents. On
the other hand, the total of the com
putations made by the clerk is only
S1,55e,943 which figure is about 81
per cent of the 100 per cent value.
Hence, if Glendive desired to raise the
limit OF S51,92O73. it would require
