ANOTHER LOSS
FACED NOW BY
HIGHWAY BOARD

ment of State Inneri-
tance Taxes.

As result Of an opinion handed
down today by Attorney General
Arthur L. Gilliora, some of the mem
bers of the State highway commis-
sion were fearful that the current in
stallment of State inheritance taxes,
totaling about S250,0O0, would cease
to be available to the commission
If paid into the State treasury after
Oct. 1.
In response to an inquiry from
liom said: 1T is plainly the in.
tention of the Legislature that I'll
the Inheritance taxes which may be
collected by the county treasurers,
but which are not paid into the
State treasury until on or after Oct.
l. should be credited to the general
fund and not to the State highway
fund"
Bowman and attaches in his Of
flee were uncertain as to whether
the sum would cease to be available
strictly to the highway commission
after it passes into the general fund,
Oct. /, as the low provides. 1t is
the general Interpretation of State
officials that the highway fund under
the new budget laws becomes an
account with the general fund and
not distinct fund, as 1t has been
in the past. If this contention is
borne out by Gilliom in future
opinions, it is predicted that the
highway commission will suffer
another loss in road building
moneys, such as was experienced re
Gently when Federal aid funds were
exhausted.
John D. Williams, director Of the
highway commission, said he had
received no Official information on
Gilliom's opinion and therefore de-
clined to comment directly. He did
say. however, that it had been his
opinion that current inheritance
taxes were to go to the highway
commission for use in road work.

lection by the counties and transfer

Freeman urged William Bosson
(city attorney and myself to find a
way to have the city bear two
f1fths of the expense of lowering
tracks Of the Union Traction Com
pany on Mart1ndale Ave, an i'm
provement ordered by the board and
involving an estimated expenditure
of S70,00o," Ogden said.
Request Refused
Blossom and I refused to obey his
request because we knew 1t was not
right and that corporation now will
be forced to bear entire expense of
the improvement"
Friends Of Freeman denied he
had been unduly active IN the cause
of utilities. Freeman was said to
be out Of the city.
Traction company officials were
brought before the board recently
when DR.. M. ]. Spencer, board
member, complained to other mem
bers Of the dangerous condition of
the tracks. They contended the
city should assume part of the cost
because. they said they had aband-
oned one Of the double tracks.
Led Elevation Signing
Ogden said Freeman had led the
Railroad elevation contract, which
contains clause he said may re-
suit in long delay on that part of
elevation between English Ave. and
w. New York st.

split between himself and William

1925 Legislature, that would have
placed the burden of rs per cent of
costs on track elevation on the In
dianapolis Union Railway Company.
Did Not Want Delay
Freeman contends he did not sup
port the measure because he feared
it would delay the entire track eleva-
ton program.
Otto Ray, member of the coun-
cilmanic committee to investigate
the board Of works, charged the
real leadership of the board of
works is conducted by Freeman.
Ray said the investigation COM
mittee may ask Freeman to resign.
''It will not be for crookedness,
Ray said.
Ogdens charges will be investi-
gated in the councils probe, John
e. King, committee chairman, said.
The investigation committee was
to meet today to determine a plap

According to the complaint, paw
ing Of Eugene st. with concrete from
Northwestern Ave. to the canal was
ordered by the board of works April.

the Roscoe Butner Company.
The specifications were not com
piled with, it is alleged. The com

size than that provided for was, to-
gether with too little cement and
too much water, was used. The pave
ment was not covered while cur
ing" it was said.
Asks Injunction
The complaint, which Is In three
paragraphs, asks that the board Of
works be- enjoined from approving
the final assessment roll or certify
ing 1t to Controller Hogue; that
Treasurer DuvaIl be enjoined from
enforcing the collection Of property
assessments, and the contractors
from collecting money under the as
sessrhents, and that the order of the
board of works accepting the pave
ment be set aside until the specifi.
cations are complied with.
1.-THE whole trouble is that the
Eugene St. property owners want a
good pavement end got bad one,
Ewbank, their attorney, said.
When asked about graft charges
he said: THAT will be taken UP
when the case comes to trial"
Return day was set for Sept. 8.
President Coffin of the board Of
works was inclined to blame the
trouble on to the fact that while q,
majority of property owners petit
toned for concrete pavement,
minority put UP a stiff battle for as
phalt.
LAS to any secret understanding
or agreements between any one and
any contractors I never heard Of

William D. vogel, q member OF
the defendant contracting firm, de-
MED his firm had any secret agree
ment or understanding with Arni
tage or any enc else.
Old Fight Recalled
Armitage's reference to his Barber
asphalt agency recalls the fight
which developed early in the adj
ministration The board of works
at the outset Of the paving season
in its first year attempted to com
'pel1 John L. Elliott, then city civil
engineer, to write specifications
which would make It practically i'm.
possible for contractors to bid upon
any brand OF asphalt other than
Trinidad, the Barber product.
Elliott refused, contending com
petent engineers had advised him
that Mexican asphalt. the Standard
oil product, which then was much
cheaper than Trinidad, would serve
just as well.
The Times disclosed the situation
and after a tense week In which the
board and Armitage attempted TO IN
duce Mayor Shank to discharge Ell
nott, the board backed down. Mrs.
Sarah Shank, the late wife Of the
mayor, stood by Elliott in the fight
and it was generally understood that
it was her influence which finally
caused Shank to side with Elliott.
After the smoke of the battle
died down, Elliott and Armitage be-
came good friends, such good
friends that Elliott borrowed $4,000
for a personal business venture FROM
