Walter Clark, attorney for Miss
Hannah Noone, Center township
trustee, started the rebellion at the
courthouse against the proposal to
let persons receiving poor relief per-
form all labor for the park and
street departments.
Sullivan AssaiIs Move
Through this program the labor
ers would receive pay only in the
form of baskets of food instead of
money.
The association demanded that
the state tax board eliminate the
100000 labor item from the city
budget at a hearing Thursday.
Sullivan branded it as an effort
to swell the ranks of the unem-

THE trustees office is opposed to
any plan whereby any man now
employed in a public or private
capacity should lose his job and
thus be thrown on poor relief" it
was stated at the trustees office
today.

1t was pointed out it would be
about as fair a policy as for private
concerns of the city to discharge
their workers and let the trustees
office keep them in food.
County Auditor Harry Dunn said:
I'm absolutely opposed to such a
plan as proposed by the Taxpayers
Association. 1t merely would create
paupers and throw a large poor re-

1T also will kill the buying pow

and declared: when you eliminate

Alfred F. Walsman, tax expert for

Astor H. Clarke, Howard Camp

Clarke is quite convinced that
he can give John Blick's hand

has voiced his opinion openly.
There is none of the bragga,

can trim Whalen. He is just

Whalen's retiring disposition
keeps him from admitting frankly
what he thinks regarding his op-

of holding his own against the
best in the city.

Mandley's league performances
are below his usual standard, but
his special event work is of ster-
ling quality. Brad never misses a
chance to roll, and invariably sue
Ceeds in collecting.
It is seldom indeed that a
BaltimOrean comes in for un-
stinted praises from a Wash

Ed BIakeney the greatest bowler
in the country right now.
He rates him above Nick Iron
sky when it comes to special
match shooting. though he al,
mits that as league bowler

sired.

league average is around the lis
mark.
