CEMETERY ASKED TO
WAIVE $4,000 CLAIM
City Anxious to Construct
New Boulevard.

recommendation that the direc-
tors of Crown Hill cemetery waive a
$4,000 claim against the city will
be made by Hugh Nick Landon, &C
cording to an announcement made
today Mr.. Landon will make the
recommendation with the provision
that a permanent boulevard on Con-
ser avenue, from Thirty eighth to
Forty-fourth streets, be constructed.
Attempts have been made by the
city administration to build the
boulevard with CWA labor, but it
has been hampered by an agree
ment which the works board en-
tered into in 1925, whereby the city
was to pay the cemetery $4,000 for
a seventy-foot strip of land which
would make the boulevard possible.
The construction of the boulevard
would give an important traffic in
let to Butler university, eliminating
hazards that now exist because of
heavy traffic along Forty sixth and
Forty-ninth streets at Capitol ave-
nue., Illinois street and Meridian
street.
City officials probably will hold a
meeting this week to consider the
improvement

UNIQUE LOANS
PLAN ADOPTED
BY CITY FIRMS
Move Is Taken to Increase
Capital; Meeting With
Success. Is Report.

Seeking increased capital to nance
inventories and to replace goods,
many indianapolis merchants have
Joined in a unique system of liqui-
dating the obligations of their Gus
toners.
City merchants are pointing out
that while they are gratified with
price advances, they are faced with
the problem of financing and assert
that if their receivable accounts
were paid they would have ample
funds.
1t has been estimated that the de-
partment stores, apparel shops, fur
niture, variety and general mer-
chandise stores of the nation have
approximately $160,000,000 on their
books, owed by customers for six
months or longer.
H. I. Kleinhaus, general manager
of the controllers congress Of the
National Retail Dry Goods Associa-
ton, recently urged that these debts
be wiped out by loans from the Re
construction Finance Corporation,
the merchants in each city arrang-
ing independtly with the R. F. c.
for their collective needs.
Many local merchants, however,
have taken advantage of the plan
offered by the Indianapolis Morris
Plan Company, it was revealed to-
day by w. B. Harding, president of
the company.
Under the Morris Plan arrange
ment, said Mr.. Harding, loans are
made to customers owing the store,
the store acting as co-maker of the
loan. The loans, it was said, are
made over period of one year or
less, with repaymentS suiting the
borrowers income.
The program has operated very
successfully, said Mr.. Harding.
Stores which have adopted the plan
have notified their customers of the
service and report an encouraging
response.

A stepfather who left his children

SERVANTS MORNING
MEAL GOBBLED BY
WHITE HOUSE PUP
BIZ United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-
WinkS, the new White House dog,
is in disgrace. He violated the
free luncheon provision of the
restaurant code.
Winks, a setter pup brought
from Warm Springs, Ga, two
months ago by President Roose-
welt and a general favorite in the
mansion, found an unattended
table in the servants quarters
which had been set for breakfast.
He went from plate to plate and
ate all the bacon and eggs.
He cleaned off nearly a dozen
plates before he was discovered.
The prank amused the Presi-
dent, but not the servants.
The President, commenting on
WinkS' appetite, observed:
The only reason he didn't
drink the coffee was that it had
not yet been poured"

VINO IS the nead OF the family?
For taxing purposes it is con-
venient that the answer to this
question be clearly fixed in the tax
payers mind.
A taxpayer. although single, who
supports and maintains one or more
individuals in his household over
whom he exercises family control
is the head of the family AS such
he is entitled to an exemption of
$500. He may claim also a $500
credit for each dependent.
Minor Children Exempt
The $500 credit. however. does not
apply to the wife or husband of the
taxpayer even though one may be
totally dependent upon the other.
A taxpayer who supports in his
home minor children over whom he
exercises family control is classified
as head of the family, even though
the children may have income of
their own sufficient for mainte-
nance.
If he does not support them, by
virtue of their own income, but doe
exercise family control. the tax
payer can not be classified as head
OF the family.
Only One Family Head
There can be only one head of
the family and the exemption can
not be divided. For example, two
members of the same family can
not put in claims for the $500 ex-
emption.
A single person, whether or not
the head of the family, is required
to file a return if his net income foT
1888 was 81 900 or more. This holds
true. even though the return is nom
taxable by reason Of the $500 eX-
emptiOn.
Under certain circumstances, 1t is
not necessary for the taxpayers and
his dependents to live under one
roof for the entire taxable year, in
order for the taxpayers to claim
his exemption.
Common Home SuncIent
If the parent is away on business
or the child away at school. the eX-
emption is allowed. provided the
common home is maintained. Also,
if the parent is obliged to maintain
his dependents with relatives or in
a boarding house while he lives
elsewhere the exemDtiOn still an
Plies.
The same ruling applies to nus
band and wife living together" AS
long as the common home is main
tanned, the exemption is allowed. If
the husband continuously makes his
home in one place and the wife at
another. they are not living together
within the meaning of the revenue
act.
