UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, Decem-
Der s.-Despite reduced interest rates
on the sinking fund deposits, the
Board of Education will be able to
retire its bond issues upon maturity,
Supt. of Schools Nicholas Orem de-
clared today.
The superintendent statement was
made after a study of the funds in
accordance with a suggestion from
the firm which made the annual audit
of the boards books.
The auditors report, contained in
the boards annual financial state
ment made public this week. says:
During the year your repositories
notified you that interest rates on
the sinking funds would be continued
at the reduced rate of per cent per
annum; therefore, under this ruling,
you should Immediately determine
whether the sinking funds deposits
as now made will accumulate suffl-
cient funds to retire the several bond
issues at maturity"
Issues Can Be Met
Prior to 1893 the banks had allowed
the board 4 per cent interest and the
sinking funds were calculated on that
basis. Nevertheless it has been found
upon study of the balances in the
various accounts. that even with 3
per cent interest, the maturities can
easily be met.
Last year a $4,000 bond issue for
the Hyattsville Elementary School
matured and the board had a $500
balance in that account after paying
of the issue. This was transferred
to another sinking fund account.
Supt. Orem believes similar balances
will accumulate in most of the other
accounts
The $4,000 District Line School
bond issue, for example. which ma
lures May l, 1910, now has $6,061
in its sinking fund This will be
augmented through $1.14O interest at
3 per cent and $1,000 in deposits,
which will be continued at the rate
OF S170 year as they have since
1916, giving a balance OF $500 by
1910.
Others Involved.
In addition to the District Line
School bond issue, others involved in
the sinking fund are:
Brentwood School, $4,000 issue, ma
turing May l, 1888, $6.786 in sinking
fund; Baden High School, $4,000
issue maturing May !, 1910, S6,008
in sinking fund; Capitol Heights
School, $4,000 issue, maturing May
l, 1914, S11,735 in sinking fund:
Brandywine High School. $500 issue,
maturing May l, 1914, $4,381 in sink
ing fund, and Hyattsville High School,
$4,000 issue, maturing May /, 1914,
$12.023 in sinking fund.
The boards outstanding sinking
fund bonds total $7l,500. Deposits
to retire them now amount to $41,-
966. Accounts for the Brentwood,
District Line, Baden and Capitol
Heights issues are in the First Ma
tional Bank of Southern Maryland,
and those of the Brandywine and
Hyattsville High Schools in the Cit
liens National Bank Of Laurel.

EFFECTS OF ROAD
SHORTAGE SOUGHT
Prince Georges Town and
County Officials to
Study Problem.
BY a Stan Correspondent of The Star.


UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Deem
Der 8.-County and town officials Of
Prince Georges will make an effort
during the coming week to learn just
where they stand financially in view
of the State Roads Commission deficit.
Gov. Ritchie's report on the roads
body showed Prince Georges began
the fiscal year on October ] with
Sc, ,30l to its credit and will have $79,-
1os available for expenditure to Sep
tember 80, 1885.
The commissioners, however, are ex-
pected to call on the roads commission
for a more detailed explanation Of
the money available to the county.
while town officials have planned a
meeting Tuesday night, when possible
changes in the State road law will be
debated.
Overdrawn Last Year.
Gov. Ritchie's report, which COW
cred q two-year period, showed that:
Prince Georges was overdrawn $4,-
796 on September 30. 1888.
The county was allotted $227 ,085 on
missions 1884 receipts, and spent
$215,sS7.
There remained 42,287 to be ex-
pended to complete projects author
lied, so that, after oil obligations are
paid, the county would have . deficit
for the year of $35,s85.
That sum, when deducted from the
anticipated revenue from october /,
1884. to September 80, 1885, allotted
to the county on the basis Of road
mileage, amounting to $115,095, leaves
$7e,109 available for 1885.
Usually Spend $4,000.
In previous years the county has
been accustomed to spending at least
$4,000 on its roads. The commits
sioners want to know what projects
are involved in the $42,287 remain
ing to be expended from the 1884
allotments, and whether the amount
set aside for incorporated towns must
come from the $79,l09 available for
this year.
Town oficials who belong to the
Municipal Ofhcers' Association will
study all available information on the
road situation. as 1t affects them. at a
meeting Tuesday night in the River
dale fire house.
Many of them opposed the method
of permitting the roads commission
to disburse money on their order from
the start. It is expected they will
inaugurate an organized campaign to
have the towns share of State gaso-
line funds turned over to municipal
authorities for expenditure.
Have Strong Argument.
Advocates of this system will have
q convincing argument in view of the
shortage that has developed in the
roads commission. whose onicials in
sisted they should handle disburse-
ment of all funds when the law divert
ing part Of the gasoline tax to road
maintenance was passed.
Other legislative recommendations
also may be made at the meeting of
the association. which was organized
last Winter when the towns were hav-
ing difficulty in obtaining their road
allotments. During the Summer the
group remained dormant, however.

STATE LIQUOR
LAW DEBATED
Few EvinCe Any Interest in
Topic at Butler
Forum.

Less than a dozen persons attend
ed the Butler forum debate last
night on the subject What Is the
Matter With the Indiana liquor
control law?"
Upholders of the law were SEN
ator Jacob Weiss, one of the au-
thors, and Harold c. Fe;ghtner, In
diana brewing code director. E. A..
Miles, Indiana Anti-Saloon League
attorney, appeared against it. Leo
M. Rappaport presided.
Among those present we're Sup
erintendent L. E. York of the Anti
Saloon League; Mrs. Meredith Mich
olson Jr.. secretary of the state
liquor control commission; Fred A.
Wiecking, deputy attorney general;
Kurt Painter and Albert Stump.
Those unfolding the law agreed
that it was not perfect and should
be modified with experience. Critics
contended that it provides a polit-
ical, monopolistic system of control
and makes prices high, thus en-
cOuraging bootlegging.

guardianship for him by the Grant
Trust and Savings Company and
later the First National bank Of
Marion and now the present guar
dian. the First National bank in
Marion.
In January Of 1924 he had an
estate balance, according to the
guardianship records. Of s2.6O5 .55
Through the period Of the trust he
has had cash up to $1,000.
Exceptions Are Filed
The final report Of George w
Rauch, acting cOnservator Of the
First National of Marion on Oct
II. 1888, showed he had a FOUR
TEEN CENT cash balance.
Exceptions have been filed against
the final report of Mr. Rauch and
losses to the estate Of Case 1875 are
charged at s4.425 through the trust
period.
It is shown on the books of the
Grant Trust, according to a probe
of the veterans bureau, that South
ern Pacific bonds Of S2925 were
purchased May IT. 1890, and a
mortgage loan of $500 for Case
1875.
No petition or court order for the
above investments can be found in
the Grant circuit court or guard
ianship records.
SIS Fees Are Charged
In Case 2145 the report for income
for 193l-1932 is shown by the Ma
rion National now in receivership)
to be $4,000.
Guardianship fees Of S25 were
charged by the bank for administer
ing the estate
The state law passed in 1881 for
war veterans declares that only 5 per
cent of the yearly income can be
charged. unless the circuit court al
lows a higher fee after a hearing.
B. w. BreedloVe, chief attorney of
the regional Office of the veterans
bureau in Indianapolis, wrote a let
ter to the Grant court clerk as well
as the bank calling attention to the
overcharge. The fees at per cent
should have been approximately

Meals at SLIPS a day for three
persons were necessary to transport
Case 1920 from Marion's sanitarium
for the insane to Palo Alto, Cal. He
was a ward of the old Marion Ma

Bank Officials Defend Cost
It cost the veteran S593.1O to be
taken to California, it is shown on
reports Of the bank to the circuit
court of Grant county.
Bank officials as we'll as sani-
tarium officials defended this cost
with the assertions that it was
necessary, due to his type Of mental
case, that two attendants accom-
pany him to California.
The attendants we're paid at the
customary rate of S. day for eight
days en- route and return.
One notation on the expense

A mystery voucher that re-occurs
with regularity throughout the
guardianship records reads like this:

The vouchers differ in that some
times it is a e. V. Barney who is
apparently giving the Christmas

Commissioner Collier Addresses
State and Provincial

The National Convention of State
and Provincial Health Authorities,
meeting in the Public Health Service
auditorium yesterday, Endorsed the
Wheeler-Howard bill designed to ex-
tend the new deal to Indians.
John Collier, commissioner of In
dian affairs, urging the legislation,
declared tuberculosis is killing Indians
at seven times the rate at which it
kills white Americans. A disease of
poverty, 1t RACES among the tribes
with special virulence, he said.
From all causes" he argued, I'm
dians die at twice the death rate of
the general population. The reasons
for this are well known. First among
them is the extreme poverty of most
Indians, resulting in undernourish-
ment, unbelievably bad housing and
overcrowding.
The other cause is the denial of
medical service to Indians. The Gov
ernment's appropriations have been
wasted on real estate management at
high cost, while essential services, like
health and education, have been neg
lected,"
