Reorganization Group
 Will File Tickets
White Promises to Bust Up Regular Town Committee
 at Meeting Held Last Night

Resolved to strike back at the republican town committee and its chairman, Attorney T. E. Conway, the Republican Reorganization committee, at a meeting last night, passed a vote to file tickets in all the wards for the coming g. o. p. primaries as a protest against the failure of the regular organization to grant open caucuses when the states of delegates to the various conventions are made up. James A. White,. secretary of the reor- ganization group and spokesman for the committee, declared that he and his followers are going to bust up the mutual admiration so- ciety in the town committee and elect a new town committee or, at least, a certain portion of it."
 The fight is on, therefore, and the reorganization group will fur ther it's plans in the fight for open caucuses next week when mass meeting of registered republicans will be held, the time and place yet to be decided upon, at which those present will be given a vote in the makeup of the slates of delegates to the various conven- tions.
 The tickets of delegates thus madeup will be filed with the town committee on the 26th so as to be before the voters on the 18th, when the g. o. p. primaries are slated to be held.
 To-day the reorganization group, the regular organization and Attor- ney George Crocicchia, one of the ination in the 18th district were busily engaged in getting in per sons for registration on the g. o. p. primary list.

THE NIGHTHAWK
Good evening.

Sailing serene the lord of the skies Unperturbed, floats the gay nighthawk With nonchalant manner Der the earth he fnes And keeps up incessant talk. Woe to the insect that crosses his path, With darting swoop he is caught Try as he may to avoid the swath, His efforts are expounded for naught This keen-eyed patrolman of the upper world' Makes his rounds every summer night His wings spread out like flag unturled, As he chatters in tones so bright He only desists from his aerial routlne To exhibit his talent and grace. He seems to know he is sure to be seen, As he performs for us out in the space Each evening fore dusk he appears on his rounds, First darting, then twisting with amazing ease. His ability it seems knows no bounds, And he never fails to please.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Buying in
General Motors and selling in
Chrysler furnished the only relief to
an otherwise dull stock market ses-
sion yesterday. Chrysler easily led all
stocks in volume of turnover, max
ing up about one-tenth of all bust
ness done, while General Motors
was second in activity.
The two motor shares and Inter
national Telephone made up "a per
cent of all the transactions on the
exchange. Airplane issues, notably
United States Aircraft, Curtiss-
Wright and Douglas Aircraft had a
spell of activity. New York Central
and Canadian Pacific were relatively
active in the rails.

UTILITY PLANTS
SHOW PROFIT
Municipal Light and Power
Plants in '32 Made
$212,542.1O.

Municipality owned utilities re-
turned a net profit Of $212, 542.10 to
Indiana towns where they operate
and thus aided in keeping them
from borrowing from working bal
ances in 1882.
This fact is set out in a report on
town finances for that year made
public by William P. Cosgrove, state
examiner. 1t was prepared in his
office by Albert E. Dickens, statiS-
tician.
One hundred and forty-two civil
towns operate waterworks, fifty
three electric plants and thirty both
water and electric utilities, the re-
port shows.
In 1882, these utilities received
ST, 023, 607.5O in operating revenues
and disburSed $811 ,065.40 for oper-
ating and maintenance.
Expenses Decrease
In the total of 423 Indiana towns,
the governmental cost for 1882 was
3,461 ,003,47 the report shows. This
was $500, 623.52 or 14.6 per cent less
than was expended in 1881. Tax re-
ceipts were 26.4 per cent less, how
ever, being the lowest since 1922.
They decreased 21.4 per cent from
the previous year and were $685.
006.39 less than disbursements, ne
cessitating inroads on working bal
ances to make up the deficiency in
revenue.
School functions were maintained
in but eighty of the incorporated
towns at a cost of $2,104,915, which
was a decrease of 21.9 per cent from
the previous year.
Total for both civil and school
purposes was $5,656,91854, making
the cost for the 423 towns about one
half the indianapolis civil city ex-
penditures for 1882. Population of
the towns is 295,576, and that of
indianapolis, 1854, 161.
Costs Compared
.Compilers of the data offered this
comment:
These relative expenditures il
lustrate graphically the direct COR
relation existing between urbaniza-
ton and governmental costs. With
the concentration of large popula-
ton into small area, governmental
functions of necessity become COM
pleX and multitudinous, and hence
public expenditures in large cities
are many times as great as if the
same population were diffused into
small indicated groups.
%That the towns, both civil and
school, do not constitute an ap-
preciable factor in the tax burden,
may further be understood from the
fact that the total tax receipts CT
these towns for 1928 amounted
only to POT per cent of the total
taxes levied for all purposes for
1882"

IDEAS ON ROSS SEA

ON BOARD SIS. JACOB RUP-
PERT EN- ROUTE TO ANTARCTIC
Via Mackay RADIO, Jan. g.
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd ex-
pressed the opinion today that the
geographer's conception Of Ross sea,
haven Of South polar expeditions,
as inclosed on three sides must be
abandoned.
Admiral Byrd's fight yesterday
over the southern ice pack showed
many thousands Of square miles
mapped as ice covered land really
was ice.
1T would now appear" the ex-
plorer said, that the bulge Of white
unknown space on the map, which
seemingly incloses the Ross sea on
the east, is just water borne ice and
that no land exists hereabouts."
