HAWLEY'S OFFER OF

tCotninued from First Fsge)

If inc offer was to be accepted. Mir. SearIc felt it would be advisable to first consider the program Mr. Hawley will require. The commits sloner raised the question of the HaWley requirement that the slO,- h00 appropriated be not included in the park board allotment. This, he said, would necessitate an appropria- tion of $l0.000 more than the f. nance board actually considered q proper appropriation.
 IL was explained that the city can raise money only by taxation or by bond issue at present. Under the new charter, money may be borrow cd up to s10o,00O to be paid back in five years. If the money was to he receivod~ander this plan, half the amount made available would be cut off, Since 1t has already been planned 10 erect and equip 8 fine house, a retrigorating system at the slaughter house. and carry out program of road work with $100,000 10 be borrowed, this idea is opposed by members of the finance board. Further study will be given the proposal at meeting of the board of finance and taxation next Thurs day evening.

Democrats Expect to Es-

Believed Dead
(By The Associated Pres..)

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Feb. 27-
Travel-worn but triumphant, Indiana's
truant democratic senators were back
in indianapolis today with the express
ed determination to catch up in the
work confronting the upper chamber of
the state Legislature. 1t was a happy
crowd of ID men who crossed the In
diana line from Ohio last night sing
ing Back home again in Indiana" It
was still a happier group when they ap-
preached the end Of the long motor ride
from Dayton to the tune of "The end
of a perfect day" Lieut.. Gov. Harold
Van Orman had remained up and his
warm greeting to each member added to
the confidence that the runaways would
not be subject to fine or other action.
also strengthened their feeling that
the congressional Iedistricting bill-the
cause Of their revolt and subsequent
flight--would not pass.
The return trip to Indianapolis in the
same motor bus in which they made
their flight was uncomfortable because
of the cold. Singing and joking helped
pass the time. The ride was unevent-
full
