HOHLT BUDGET
UNDER ATTACK
Tax Board Asks Balances
Be Checked by State
to End Feud.

The state board of accounts was
asked today to check the balances
of Trustee Leonard A. Hohlt's Perry
Township books so that the county
Tax Adjustment Board can have
unbiased figures in settling a dispute
between Mr.. Hohlt and the Perry
Township Civic School Association.
This decision was reached in a
conference between Frank w. Quinn,
board chairman; George Olive,
board member; William H. Book,
Chamber of Commerce executive
vice president, and Fabian Biemer,
chief deputy auditor.
1t followed a stormy three-hour
session last night when a committee
of five Perry Township citizens, who
said they represented 200, appeared
before the board and protested the
$236 school rate tax proposed by
Mr.. Hohlt in his budget requests
for 1886.
Squaring their figures with those
of the Indiana Taxpayers AsSocia-
ton, and approXimating those of
the Indianapolis Chamber of Com
merce, the group appealed to the
board to slash the budget total from
$116,58O to $5l $50.
The committees attitude had been
revealed earlier in the discussion
when Fred Foster, a delegate, as
serted that I'VE have no faith in
Hohlt. none at all.
Advancing through the budget,
item by item, the committee urged
wholesale reduction, attacking par
ticularly a proposed loan of $4,000
and a textbook appropriation of
$4,000.
Contributing to the discussion
were Henry Miesse, Indiana Tax
payers Association secretary, and
Mr.. Book.
Retiring with the outcome of its
opposition in doubt, both the COM
mittee and Mr.. MiesSe indicated that
unless the board orders drastic re-
auctions, the fight will be carried
to the State Tax Board.

100000 Square Feet of
Space Provided in
Building Plans.
WORK WILL START SOON
Motor Factory Expected to
Give Local Men
Construction Jobs.
lPictures on Page 81

The Chevrolet Motor Car
Co. will begin construction i'm
mediately of new buildings
that will provide 100000 addi-
tiOnal square feet of floor
space to their present plant
at 100 Henry-st.
Eventually the company,
with its new buildings, will
provide employment for 1900
persons, it is estimated. An
nouncement of the expansion
was made today by the In
dustrial Commission of the
Indianapolis Chamber of
Commerce.
Undertaken by the Chevrolet
Commercial Body Division of Gem
eral Motors Corp, the building pro-
gram, c. of C. representatives said,
will be the most important single in
dustrial development in Indianapo-
lis in 20 years. 1t will give the city
one of the finest commercial body
plants in the world, they added.
Company officials hope that part
of the new plant will be ready for
occupation in January. They said
construction will begin as soon as
possible. When the plant is COM
pleted it is estimated that it will
produce 100000 completed cab body
StampingS annually.
5000 Tons of Steel Needed
Albert Kahn, Inc, Detroit, arch
fleets, estimated that the build
ing project will require 5000 tons
of steel, 23,5OO barrels of cement, 80
carloads of wood blocks and $4,000
panes of glass.
r. S. Montgomery is manager of
the indianapolis plant and is as
sisted by George Stout, controller,
and d. M KlauSmeyer, chief en-
gineer.
The company owns a site of 4014
acres bounded by Henry-st, White
River blvd. Division-st and the
Pennsylvania Railroad. The COM
pany occupied the plant of the old
Martin-Parry Co. on Oct. 16, 1880,
the plant having formerly been
known as that Of the Parry Manu-
featuring Co.
Bids to Be Asked
Construction of the first unit OF
the new plant will be started east
OF the present buildings. The old
buildings will be removed when the
first unit that will contain approx
mately 100000 square feet of floor
space has been completed.
In awarding a contract for the
first unit, the company also will ask
for bids on a unit Of similar size
with the option of ordering con-
struction on the second unit started
within six months.
The new buildings will be con-
structed of brick and steel with
wood block floors laid over concrete.
The units will be of an improved
monitor type construction, following
a design that was developed by the
Chevrolet organization in building
its new Baltimore plant. The win
dOws in the monitors instead of be-
ing vertical will slope inward at the
top, providing better lighting facil-
tiles inside the buildings.
Building 100 Feet Long
Unusual building heights will be
developed in the new plant to pro-
vide ample space for new types Of
machinery and presses that have
been designed for metal work on
automobile bodies. The walls OF
the metal shop will extend upward

DOMPTON LAKES, N. j., Aug. 81.
Il Fitting back on two legs of a
chair in the dining salon of DR..
Joseph Bier's training camp, Joe
Louis stopped sucking an orange
and remarked:
He can't stop Glowing. Every
body'S got one certain thing they
do, and can't get away from. His
is Glowing and mines fighting"
The undefeated Detroit Negro
heavyweight was talking about his
next opponent, Max Baer, and be-
fore he was through it was easy to
perceive that he has no more re-
spect for the ability of the ex-cham-
pion than he had for Primo Camera
and King Levinsky, his latest K. o.
victims.
Il hope he starts Glowing the
night of the oath, that's what I
hope" Joe said.
TINE sepia slasher called the
IL round i'll which he stopped
Levinsky, and missed by n round
on Camera. Maybe he was ready
TO call the round he'd stop Baer?
Il aim to put Baer away" said
Louis, but 1 can't call the round
yet. Chappie Jack Blackburn, his
trainer) and me have got to get
together on that and there's plenty
of time to figure it out"
"Baer's never been stopped, you
know" Louis was told.
Anybody can be stopped if you
hit EN- right" he shot back.

n won't start training until

" happy over his K. o. of John

made DR.. Bier promise to close the
bar.

I don't want to be bothered by
drinkers, I don't drink and I don't

A ND Louis finally has a girl
"A friend. She is Marva Trotter,
of Chicago. A Chicago Negro paper
reported they were engaged.
Il was sorry that report got out"
Joe said. She called me up and
said she never gave it out. I was
glad. cause she's a nice, home girl
and 1 like to dance with her"
Then Joe went back to his bunk
