PROBABLE BELL
VALUATION SET
30,680,976 Is Tentatively
Fixed by Tax Board.

Valuation of the Indiana Bell
Telephone Company was tentatively
set at $50 6S0,976 today by the State
tax board. The figure, which is sub
ject to adjustment, represents an in
crease of $1,133,S94 over last years
tax valuation, which included real
estate and other property assessed
locally.
Although the Bell operates under
a $50, 100000 rate valuation fixed re-
Gently by the public service COM
mission, a S25,342, ,3S9 tax valuation
was asked by B. G. Halstead, Bell
appraisal engineer. Halstead later
said he would be satisfied with a
$4,000, 900 appraisal.
Tax board members were unable
TO agree with Halstead's argument
that the Bell is assessed higher than
other utilities. Halstead said the
company could not earn fair re-
turn this year on the public service
valuation, but indicated the COM
pany would abide by the decree. He
said the tax boards last valuation,
$29, SAT ,092, is Excessive and asked
1t be reduced.

Early cancellation OF permits to
manufacture malt tonic beer, issued
by Assistant Treasury Secretary An
drews to Pabst OF Milwaukee and
Anheuser- Busch of st. Louis, is ex
pected by Superintendent Edward s.
Shumaker of the Indiana Anti-Saloon
League. Shumaker said today.
The withdrawal, he said, will be
another victory for the nations dry
forces in one of the biggest fights
since enactment Of the Eighteenth
Amendment. Indiana LIS played a
leading part in the fight, ha de-
clered.
Shurnaker would not disclose the
source Of his information. but said
he had been informed by a person
who had talked directly to Andrews
that the dry car was surprised
at the protests against the order
and that about the only thing to do,
to preserve prohibition laws, was
to cancel the permits.
Shumaker, relenting from a pre-
vious stand, said he now believed
Andrews issued permits believing
the tonic beer would be a health
booster" as it's manufacturers
claimed, and not beer.
Meantime. Shumaker said, nothing
Is being done to curb sale Of the
tonic beer in Gary, where three drug
gists have ordered large stocks. He
thinks the permit cancellation will
block the sale.

Treasurers, as agents between con-
