MARYLAND WEST VIRGINIA
TRUCK WAR TO CONTINUE
Reciprocal Agreements At An
End AS Two States Enforce Re-
quirements For Licenses
MARYLAND RECEIVES S1,4OO

Maryland has collected approx
mately $1,400 in motor vehicle reve-
nue. from owners of West Virginia
commercial vehicles for hire since the
truck war" sarted between the two
states last week.
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
Walter Rudy said that owners of more
than forty commercial vehicles regis
tered in West Virginia have received
Maryland license tags at cost of
thousand dollars. In addition the Mary
land titling tax was more than $500.
James P. Tierney, director of trans
portaion for the Road Commission of
West Virginia said that six "for hire"
licenses had been issued to six truck
operators from Maryland at cost
of 5000.
The 1885 West Virginia act requir-
ing out-of-state "for hire" vehicles to
purchase West Virginia tags before
operating in that state caused Mary
land officials to cancel the reciprocity
agreement between the states.
Maryland police have orders to con-
tinue to seize West Virginia's trucks
and arrest their drivers who are with
out the proper markers and registra-
ton cards.
Since last Wednesday two additional
arrests were made by Corporal T. E.
Currie, of Oakland. Robert Thomas,
driving truck for R. D. Wilson Com
pany, and Walter C. Sappington, OPP
Grating vehicle for Bert M. Lanham,
both of Clarksburg, W. Va, were the
two detained here and fined $11 and
costs. The trucks were held until the
fines were paid.

Route 81 Will Be Known AS U. S.
Route No. PIG

Route No. 81 will shortly be known
as U. S. Route No. PIG. The Maryland
State Roads Commission has an order
for markers for that number to be
placed at intervals along the highway
running through the county from Key
ser's Ridge to the West Virginia line
near Gnegy church. Whether or not the
Federal Government will take over the
road officially has not been learned.
Engineers were through Oakland
last week measuring distances and
elevations along the highway and it
was rumored that the road would be
Strengthened in spots to provide a more
direct highway to Route so, the North
western Turnpike. Harold Rock, of
the Roads Commission, however, stat
ed he knew nothing of any proposed
change.
The new markers will be erected

MT. LAKE ELECTION HELD
MINUS QUESTION OF TAX
Voters Reflect Mayor Utterback
And Choose Bittner, Hardesty
And Harvey AS COuncilmen
OFFICIAL COUNT is GIVEN

With the expectation of settling at
this time the question of whether or
not municipal taxes in Mountain
Lake Park could be raised to as much
as $1.00 on the 500 of assessable
property, a larger number of voters
than usual turned out at the annual
election on Tuesday to find that there
was nothing on the ballot to be cast
where they could mark their choice
for or against a raise in the tax rate
There was no square or box to the
right of and opposite the words "For
Increase in Tax Rate" nor was there
a square or box opposite the words
Against Increase in Tax Rate" In
fact these words did not appear on
the ballot at all.
There were only the names of Mayor
Utterback, up for reelection and I'M
opposed for the position, and the
names of five candidates for Council.
While some of the voters We're be-
wildered at the absence of the tax
increase question the residents pro-
ceeded to elect H. L. Bittner, Isaac E.
Hardesty and Arthur Harvey as men,
bers of Council, defeating Mrs. Maude
H. Morgan and Stanley G. Woods.
Discussing the reason for the omis-
sion Of the question of the proposed
tax referendum from the ballot, Mr..
Bittner stated that the bill passed at
the recent session Of the Legislature
requiring the referendum to be sub
mitted was dead and that the question
would not come up until another bill
was drafted and passed by the Legis-
lature at the 1887 session. The act
referred to provides that the referen-
dunn should be submitted at the reg
ular town election to be held in Au-
gust, 1885, when in fact the regular
town election, as provided by the char
ter and ordinances is held during the
month of July, and any election held
in August would have to be provided
for by law and be a special election.
1t was explained by Darwin Mar
tin, clerk of the Council of the Park,
that re-assessment was anticipated
this year, hence the bill was intro
duced so as to provide, in case the as
sessment basis was lowered, for the
raising of revenue under the re-as-
sessment, which would provide suf-
ficient funds to operate the town.
In effect, the taxpayers would
not be required to pay sum in taxes
in excess of what they now are paying.
at is felt" he said, chat a re-as-
sessment will lower the taxable basis,
and in order to keep the revenue of
the town at the same figure it now is,
the council needs leeway to fix the rate
of taxes at point where the same
amount of income will be received"
The official tabulation of the cleo
ton was as follows:

Welcome our Pittsburgh visitors OF
Sunday; they will come back.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-01-29

In the first place any CONVEX
sion of short-term debt to long
term debt will tend to close an
existing profitable investment
outlet for banks; in the second
place the utilization of baby
bonds" will tend to eliminate the
practice of banks, among others,
in padding their subscriptions to
new issues Of Government securi-
ties.
And right here it might not be
amiSs to discuss this padding of
subscriptions. AS is we'll Known,
when the Treasury launches a
large issue of bonds buyers are
requested to send in applications
stating the amount of the fota-
ton to which they will subscribe.
In recent years the terms of such
financing have been so favorable
that the issues were oversub-
Scribed several times.
A S a consequence of the good
L N reception accorded these gov
ernmental ventures into the bond
market, the allotment of the issue
to the individual buyers was con-
siderably less than they antici-
pated. In order to circumvent
this, buyers devised the method of
applying for subscriptions larger
than they wanted. BY this pad
ding the bonds eventually allotted
to them would not be as small as
if they subscribed for just the
amount of the bonds they actually
needed.
With this avenue of investment
INSTRUCTED, banking institutions
undoubtedly will be forced to seek
other outlets for their funds. The
next question, of course, is where
will these investments be made.
The Administration for the last
two years has been endeavoring to
make banks inject more credit
into the business channels of the
Nation. The baby bond" ar
rangement, therefore, will almost
make it mandatory for banks to
make deeper explorations into the
possibility of business loans.
y n
IF the banks do not search out
l. other forms of investment to
compensate for the partial loss of
the government bond market,
their earnings, which have been
small in recent years, will expert
ence a further sharp recession,
according to some authorities.
Thus it can be seen that in the
event that such outlets are not
found the institutions will find
themselves with an increasingly
lower ratio of earnings assets. If
new loans and investments are
made the result will be to increase
the ratio Of earnings assets of
such institutions.
Tomorrow - Competition wi h
Savings.

PORKER PRICES
DROP UNDER So
General Run Mostly 10
Cents Lower; Cattle,
VeaIS Steady.

A 1O-cent drop in the pork
market in early trading at the local
stockyards today, sent all prices of
hogs, including good and choice
grades, below the So mark for the
first time in several weeks.
The top price today for extremely
good and choice weights was paid for
100 to 325 pounds which sold from
S75C to $3.50. Several livestock
handlers believe that packers are
attempting to lower the market be-
fore making heavy purchases to
stock up their plants. Receipts
numbered 5000.
Initial demand was slightly weak
er on practically all grades with no
particular interest evident. How
ever, activity was at fairly active
pace. Light hogs, scaling 1870 to 100
pounds, brought $3.50 to $3.50, while
100 to 100 pounds, caShed in at
$5.05 10 $6O5. Packing sows ranged
from $3.50 to $7.15. Holdovers were
SIS.
Although slaughter steers con-
tinued active, trading interest
dwindled in the cattle market and
practically all classes remained fully
steady at yesterdays best prices.
Early steer sales ranged from $3.50
to $875. Few better grades were ex-
ceptions and reached the $12 marx.
Dealings were extremely light in
the veal market and prices con-
tinued stationary at $11 down. Re-
ceipts we're 600. A strong undertone
prevailed in lambs and the market
was generally 25 cents higher. Bulk
of better grade natives and fed
western lambs sold at SO to 1925.
Throwouts brought $3.50 to $8.75,
while slaughter sheep sold at $3.50
down. Receipts were $500.
