Miller traced the increasing growth
of the Importance of city government
in national life.
I'm the early days Of the Republic
when 90 per cent of our population
was rural, attention was centered
upon State. and Federal Government.
Cities were few, small and OF re-
latively little importance. Today 65
per cent of population is urban and
cities have become of overwhelming
Importance. Last year n per cent
of the taxes we paid in Marion
County went for city and school pur-
poses. We should have the very

affairs
The city manager plan is the best
solution. Miller said, after sketching
the differences between commission
and city manager plans. He de-
clared the present system obsolete

From D, [. Speicher
and Restore Pur-
pose,
HOME FOR BIC CHOIR
Price of $4,000 Said TO
Have Been Set on
Building,

The Gipsys Smith choir may so
back home.
1t was reported today that deal
was under way whereby E. Howard
Cadle. builder of Cadle Tabernacle,
New Jersey and Ohio Sts., would re-
gain possession of the tabernacle and
restore it to its original religious
purpose.
During financial difficulties two
years ago, Cadle sold the tabernacle
to D. L. Speicher and others, retain
ing only enough stock to give him
"a lever to enforce a provision the
building should never be used for
any irreligious purpose.
Speicher since has gained practically
complete ownership. Several weeks
ago a movement to organize a
company of persons interested in re-
ligious uplift to buy the tabernacle
was started.
1t is understood that a price Of
$4,000 has been set on the build
ing, and that whoever took it over
would assume the original long
period contract with the Stoughton
Fletcher heirs for purchase of the
land for $4,000.
Before Cadle reIinquished control
of the Tabernacle the Gypsy Smith
choir of several hundred voices, out
growth of the revival service which
preceded construction of the Taber-
nacle. was split into two factions.
1t is understood that should Cadle
regain control there will be a re
union of the choir and that its
music will be one of the chief at
fractions at evangelistic services.
When Cadle had control he en-
ployed minister to conduct evan
gelistic services every Sunday.
