BOYLAN MAKES
PROTEST OVER
SMITH ATTACK
Charges Asst. 5ec'y Low
man withsAbuse of Pow
er for Smith Speech E

WASHINGTON. Sept. It's Sec.
rotary Mellon has had placed be.
fore him a vigorous protest from
Representative Boylan, Democrat
New York, against the Buffalo
Labor Day speech of Assistant
Secretary Lowman in which Gov.
ernor AL. Smith of New York, was
described as force detrimental to
prohibition.
1t was said at the Treasury tina;
the Secretary would confer soon
with Mr.. Lowman and at that
time would take up the protest,
which charged Lowman with
gross abuse" of his federal office
and asked II the Secretary en-.
dorsed the action Of your sub.
ordinate"
IF quoted correctly in the press
Mr.. Lowman took advantage of
his position as a federal officer
to make a political speech which
was an insult not only to GOV
Smith, but also to the people of
New York state" Boylan said. Il
refer to his assertion that the
repeal of the state enforcement
law has made 1t impossible TO
enforce the dry law in New York.
In making this statement Mr.
Lowman is entirely mistaken.
"The people clearly showed
their feeling last fall when they
elected Alfred e. Smith Governor
for the fourth time, and at the
same election they administered
an overwhelming defeat to Mr..
Lowman who was a candidate for
Lieut.. Governor OF the Republican
Party, which tried to be half wet
and half dry in my state"

DUBLIN, Sept. 1.-THE mono

the Atlantic Ocean stopped the
fight.

his companion James Fitzmaurice,

Free State. already headed for
New York were compelled to turn
their machine back to the Irish
coast and made landing safely
six miles south of Ballybunnion.
The reluctant. decision of the
airmen to return to land safety
was made after they encountered
fierce adverse winds and blind

course and made impossible their
plan to span the Atlantic Ocean.
Commandant Fitzmaurice said !:

The engine ran perfectly. We
returned only because circum-

RUSSIA ::
CLAIMS ISLAND
Raises Red Flag Over Land
in Bering Straits.

BIZ United Press
LENINGRAD, Russia, March 16.-
The red flag of Soviet Russia has
been planted by an exploration party
on Gerald Island, in the Arctic, near
Bering Straits, and the Soviet Gov
ernment has informed the world Of
it's claim to sovereignty there. The
expedition reported finding flags OF
other nations planted on the island.
Gerald Island, which lies close to
American and Canadian soil, was
claimed few years ago by various
nations and became an object of
considerable international pickering.
In 1924 the Soviet Government sent
notes to all nations, by which 1t laid
claim to islands and other land ex-
tending north from Siberia into the
Arctic Ocean.
So far as has beer discovered. the
island is valuable now chiefly as
possible military and naval base in
case of hostilities. 1t might, how
ever, become again a bone of con-
tention between nations IL investiga-
tions, which will probably be under
taken soon, should disclose valuable
mineral deposits.

SLOW MOVE
On BRIDGE
is COSTLY
First Plans for Repair Called
for Expenditure OF
$4,000.
LEGAL TECHNICALITlES,
Now Work Will Cost City
Taxpayers $4,000.
LEGAL TECHNICALITIES

Delay in repairing College Ave.
bridge has cost Indianapolis tax
Aayers practically $4,000.
" In October, 1926, the board of
works passed resolution asking for
$4,000 with which. to repair the
bridge. No further action was taken
until January, 1927, when bids were
asked for the repair Of the structure.
The delay came in the handling of
the matter from a legal standpoint,
the board contending that city
council would have to pass an ap-
preparation ordinance before adver-
tising for bids would be valid.
Bids Returned
Bids received by the board Jan. 81
were returned to bidders unopened,
because it was held bids could not
be received before bonds were Is
sued. @
All previous action was rescinded
by the board on Feb. 4, 1927.
New plans and specifications were
drawn and submitted to the works
board on Feb. 7, taking into con-
sideration the added damage done
to the bridge. The stinlated cost was
set at $4,000, an increase Of Sl4,OOO.
CITY Engineer Chester c. Oberleas
estimated that the additional damage
had been done to the bridge by the
elements.
The board of works today was to
decide whether to fight the council
committee recommendation for the
repair of College Ave. bridge in
stead of building new span, Roy
G. Shaneberger, president, declared
today.
The bridge which started to sink
last Friday threatens to topple into
the creek at any time. according to
engineers. ss
A special council committee, Boyn-
stbn J. Moore. Walter R. Dorsett,
Otis e. Bartholomew, Millard w. Fer
guson and Austin H., Todd, decided
in q caucus Tuesday to recommend
the repair of the bridge with the
gasoline tax fund.
> "Why not do the thing right while
we are at it?" Shaneberger ques-
toned. "If we repair the present
bridge we will not be looking to the
future. When the thoroughfare plan
ming goes through, which it will in
a few years, bigger and wider
bridge will have to be constructed
then. Why not build it now and
save money!"
James P. Tretton, Indianapolis
Street Railway Company superin-
tendent,e declared he favored any
plan that would open the bridge as
soon as possible.
If the council supports the plan
of the special committee there will
be a twenty-nine-day delay before
the repair work can begin, accord
ing to City Attorney John K. Ruckel-
shaus.
IF the council used the gasoline
tax money for the repair of the
bridge, they are breaking the
promise they made last year to ap-
propriate all of it for street repair.
And every one knows that the
streets need repairing The street
repair fund will be exhausted April
/ and all work will stop If this
money is used for the repair of the
bridge" Shaneberger pointed out.

TAX BILLS
VALID|T 7 \
QUESTIONED
State Commissioners Doubt
Legality of New Farm
Relief Measure.
MAY GO BEFORE COURTS
Orders Reappraisement in
1928 on New Basis.

Courts may be called upon to de-
eide the legality Of the section OF
the Lindley-Shale-Johnscn Bill,
passed at the recent legislative
session, which sets forth the basis
for real estate reappraisal. The
bill, known as the farm relief meas
ure, has met with considerable dis
approval from Chairman John j.
Brown and members Of the Indiana
tax commission.
Brown today conferred with Presi-
dent William II. Settle and other In.
diana Farm Bureau Federation rep
resentatives in an1effort to work out
a program for making appraisals on
the basis prescribed by the new law.
The federation backed the bill.
Start Work
Commissioners this afternoon be-
gan to work out their plans. The
bill provides that appraisals be based
on true cash value" determined by
consideration of normal earning ca
pacity, voluntary sales In the vicin'
ity and speculative value. The farm
ers expect that under this plan their
appraisals will be lowered at least
% per cent. The present method of
appraisal is to base property values
on fair market value.
Criticism of the new method pro-
posed in the bill was voiced by
Brown as follows:
This law violates every funda-
mental principle of,equity. We will
do the best we can under its provis'
ions so far as rearranging our pol
icy. Such a situation is surely hard
to handle"
Commissioner Phillip zoercher
pointed out that the title for the
new act merely amends Section lS2
Of the present tax laws.
This section deals entirely with
the time for reappraisal and says
nothing about the basis upon which
Il is to be made" he declared. Il
doubt whether the section OF the Dill
providing the basis is legal. since
that is a matter dealt with in Sec
ton 142 of the tax laws and has nc
business here"
May Go TO Court
He ir dicated that this matter
might have ITO be thrashed out In
the courts.
The bill provides that unit ap
praisals, on the new basis. may be
made upon appeal by the tax board
now and calls for a complete reap
praisal Of real estate in 1928.
Senator Alonzo H. Lindley Rep0
Kingman, one OF the authors of the
bill, has already pointed out that
lowered appraisals will mean In
creased rates in order to meet ex'
penditures.
