No Funds, Says Auditor to
Plea of Attorney.

Flat refusal to pay horizontal tax
refund claims allowed by county
commissioners last year for test
cases was given today to a demand
Of William Bosom, attorney that
seven claims aggregating $4,80490
be paid by County Auditor Harry
Dunn.
Bosom pointed out the claims
we're allowed April IS, 1927. He
seeks a warrant for payment.
Dunn, in his reply to the request,
stated county funds are depleted to
such an extent that a temporary
loan of $350,00O was negotiated this
month for paying current debts and
that the county council at its
September, 1927, session refused ap-
preparations to pay tax claims.
Dunn said the claims were allowed
by the commission last year so
litigation testing their validity might
be carried into the courts. Shortly
before this action the State Supreme
Court held the horizontal tax in
creases of 1919, 1920 and 1921 invalid.
Bosom has a mandamus petition
pending in Circuit Court requesting
an order to make commissioners hold
a hearing on all claims.

Ford can manufacture and sell
the "flivver planes" for $4,000, the
United Press learned today.
The price was computed from
Ford's experiments on small scale
production and probably could be
reduced considerably on large scale
production, it was said.
Plane Is Brand New
Brooks plane is brand-new Gre
alton, far different from the "f1iv-
YER" plane which Ford exhibited on
his birthday year before last.
Changes from that type of plane
were suggested, it was learned, by
COL Charles A. Lindbergh, when he
flew the old type "flivver" plane at
the airport last summer.
The new type planes can do sew
enty-f1ve miles an hour, though the
normal cruising speed is sixty miles
an hour. Mileage, it was said, is
approximately thirty miles to the
gallon OF gasoline.
The plane is equipped with an
engine which produces between
thirty-six and forty horse power.
The engine costs about $500 and the
rest of the plane, with gasoline
tanks in the wings, about $1,000.
Ford KeenIy Interested
Ford has taken a personal inter
est in development of the planes.
He is believed to have known, how
ever, that the big problem to be
solved before they can be sold on
an extensive basis is teaching
large number of persons to fly and
banishing the fears of the rest OF
the people that air travel is unsafe.
Brooks has been using the "fliv-
yer" plane to commute to work
daily for several months. He has
found it satisfactory, it was stated,
and has so reported to Ford.
The millionaire industrialist was
at the airport this morning to wit
ness Brooks departure and was de-
Scribed as intensely interested In
the endurance flight.
