NEWCASTLE, Ind, June IA
Mayor Strod Hays, Democrat, to-

against city office holders whom he
appointed at the outset of his ad-
ministration, three and one-half
years ago.
His latest target is DR.. Clyde G.
Bitter, city health officer, whom
Mayor Hays has asked to resign.
Two days following the city pri-
mary election in Newcastle, Mayor
Hays demanded the resignation Of
Dean L. Ross, city inspector and
deputy health officer.
Ross refused TO resign, charging
that Hays sought to Gust him be-
cause he (Ross), who was city Dem
ocratic chairman, refused to work
for Hays during the primary cam
paign.
Hays appointed Frank Manning to
succeed Ross, but Don G. Mckee,
city clerk, refused to pay either Ross
or Manning to protect himself and
his bondSmen.
Ross on June filed suit seeking
to collect his pay for the month of
May.
The case has been delayed in court
by the illness of Judge John H. Nor
ris.
Mayor Hays, informed that DR..
Bitter refused to recognize Frank
Manning as his deputy, went to
Bitter and made a request that
Manning be recognized as the dep
uty health officer as we'll as city
inspector.
Bitter refused to heed the may
or's demand and told the mayor so.
Mayor Hays then informed him
that he would have to ask for his
resignation.
DR.. Bitter has indicated that "for

Mayor Hays has had a stormy re-

first made his appointments.
Ross is credited with having been

NEW YORK. June 15.--As a means

country would load train more than
$4,000 miles longs or approximately a
quarter of the distance to the moon. If
the same amount of material were used
in the construction of a highway 20
feet wide, it would extend two and one
half times around the earth, or $4,000
miles.
These figures demonstrate that what
Is popularity considered to be an Incl
dental phase of the construction activi-
ties of the country is in itself huge in
dustry occupying an essential position
in the nations economic structure.
According to official figures, the sand
and gravel industry has grown more

1927 did national business totaling

NEW YORK, June 15.-A national
survey of the building industry for

indicates some striking changes in the
amount of building permits compared
with April and with May, 1928.
The general total for the country is
of 1e per cent from last year and
compared with April there was de-
crease of 40 per cent. This is ex-
planned, however, by the fact that in
April there was great activity In New
York City in filing permits pending
action on the multiple dwellings bill
in the State Legislature. Total permits
then increased 225 per cent over the
previous year. Consequently the so per
cent local decline between the April and
May figures was not so important as
1t may seem.

a review of the conditions throughout
the country. of the effect of high money
rates on the building industry and
also Of the results Of too rapid an ex-
psnsion in building in various suburban
areas

volume of permits for May show q
total of such permits Of s169, 22s, 72e.
