J THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
BOARD ORDERS
2-CENT CUT IN
CITY TAX LEVY
Reduction Made in General
Fund and Sanitary
District Rate.

Two-cent reduction in the Indi-
annapolis city civil tax levy to S1.08
for 1881 was ordered by the state
tax board today after final hearing
on appeals of the Indiana Taxpay-
ers' Association against county, city,
township and sanitary district rates.
indianapolis residents in Center
township, embracing most of the
city, will pay a total of S1.759 on
each 500 taxable as a result of the
cut.
The 2-cent reduction was effected
by slashing the general fund levy
from 6415 cents to 63la cents, and
the sanitary district levy from to
5 cents. The 1880 sanitary district
rate was cents, and the civil city
levy for the same year $1.1O.
James Showalter, tax board
chairman, said the reduction was
ordered because city officials had
not budgeted state gasoline tax re-
ceipts Indianapolis will share.
Criticism of management Of the
city garbage plant based on re-
quests for appropriations to op-
crate the new dehydration plant
was believed the reason for the
sanitary district cut. The board
sliced $4,000 from the budget, but
the sanitary district still will spend
sums in excess Of its appropria-
tons for 1929.

ships.
Early in the morning in sprng,
the booming of males assembled on
the scratching ground summons the
hens from that territory to witness
their extraordinary performance
until the whole region re-echoes
with the soft though powerful
sound, more impressive to the
human listener than to the appar-
emily Indifferent females" says
Wallace.
Initiating the loose yellow sacs
on the sides of their head. that
stand out like two oranges. the
males present an imposing picture
of pompous display and magnifi-
cence that melts not the finty
hearts of the coquetting specta-
tors.
Nov the proud cock, melted to
nobler deeds by the indifference OF
his chosen sweetheart, rushes madly
forward, letting the air out Of his
cheek sacs as he goes, to produce
the booming noise, repeating, the
rush toward her and the boom until
she gives some sign that his mad
endeavors to win her, awaken some
response in her cold little heart"

membership Of 1000 women, com
mitted to repeal of the eighteenth
amendment on the ground, their
declaration of principles asserts,
that national prohibition is funda-
mentally wrong, conflicts with the
American principle Of home rule,
and has failed utterly to impose
abstinence.
I'VE are convinced that national
prohibition, wrong in principle, has
been equally disastrous in conse-
uuences," the principles state, lin
the hypocrisy, the corruption, the
tragic loss of life and the appalling
increase Of crime which have at
tended the abortive attempt to en-
force it,"

latter three are Junior League past
