FINAL ACTION
ON CITY BUDGET
is DUE MONDAY
Fiscal Program Now Calls
for Levy of S1.16 in
Civil District.

The City Council will take final
action Monday night on the 1886
budget which now calls for a civil
city tax levy of S116, a 1-cent in
crease over this years rate.
After week of study, council
men last night Whitfield down the
figures submitted by department
heads to S113 on each 500 of tax
able property, and then added a
Scent levy to the total to provide
for track elevation.
In asking for this Scent levy
Mayor John w Kern told council
members that the city would have
to raise S2OO,OOO to pay for materials
before the Federal Works Progress
Administration will grant $3,O59,OOC
for elimination of grade crossings
Funds from the Pennsylvania and
indianapolis Union (Belt) Rail-
roads also are necessary if the Fed
eral project is to be approved, the
mayor pointed out.
The plan includes elevation of the
Pennsylvania tracks from Orange
st to Southern-av and elevation OF
the Belt tracks from S. Meridian
st to Pleasant Run. If the Federal
money is received the Pennsylvania
will have to contribute $390,000 and
the Belt s435 600.
Mayor Kern will meet with rail-
way officials Wednesday and ask
them to give financial aid.
The Council slashed two large
items in the budget last night. A
contemplated $4,000 for West
Side park was eliminated and the
Board of Park Commissioners was
advised to issue bonds for the land
purchases. Chief Mike Morrisseys
request for "a more second grade
patrolmen was cut to 10.

RAIL PENSION
ACT is SIGNED
BY ROOSEVELT
Law Is Designed to Replace
Pact Declared Void by
High Court.
By United Press

81 United Press
WASHINGTON. Aug. 31.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt Thursday signed the
Crosser Rail Retirement Act, de-
signed to replace last years pact
which was declared invalid by the
Supreme Court.
At the same time, the President
approved a companion measure
levying taxes of 81 per cent on rail-
road pay rolls and 81 per cent on
rail workers salaries, intended 20
raise funds with which the Federal
government will make pension pay
mentS TO retired workers.
The act contemplates to meet OBJ
jectionS raised by the Supreme
Court against the original pension
act, by baSing the systems Of taX-
ing powers of Congress rather than
on congressional authority to regu-
late interstate commerce.
President to Appoint Board
The retirement act provides an
nuities payments by the Treasury
to retired railway workers, who
must retire at the age of 65 years
or who may do so at the end of 80
years service. To take advantage
of the latter clause, however, they
must be over so years of age.
The act calls for appointment by
the President of a three-man rail-
road retirement board to admin
lister the act. One member is to be
recommended by employees, one
recommended by the carriers and
the third is to be appointed with
out recommendation of either party.
The board also is called upon to
submit a special report within four
years recommending changes bene-
fetal to the system.
Maximum Is S12O a Month
Another commission set up un-
der the bill composed Of three Sem
ators, three representatives and
three persons to be chosen by the
President, is instructed to make a
thorough study of the retirement
plan and submit recommendations
to Congress next year for additional
perfecting legislation.
The amount of the annuity would
be determined by computing wages
and length of services of employees.
A maximum is set up, however, of
S120 a month.
To receive the maximum amount
a worker must have received a basic
wage of $500 a month with 30 years
service. Another provision specifies
that. on the death of an employee
who is receiving or is entitled TO
receive an annuity, one-half of the
amount due him at the time is con-
tinued as a payment to his estate
during the next year.

UNCLE WIGGILYs LONG WORM

Watching Mr. Robin, the red
breast bird, hopping around on his
lawn one day, Uncle Wiggily saw
his feathered friend suddenly stand
still, turn his head to one side and
look down in the grass.
Nov I wonder" thought Uncle
Wiggily, whether Mr.. Robin sees a
worm sticking his head up or does
he hear the worm crawling out of
the ground?" But though Uncle
Wiggily wondered ne did not call to
Mr. Robin. For the rabbit could
see that the red breasted bird was
keeping very quiet. Mr.. Robin
doesn't want the worm, who is COM
ing up from his nest under the
ground, to hear him or see him un-
til there is a chance to grab that
worm and pull him out" thought
Mr.. LongearS.

worms though he didn't eat them
as did Mr.. Robin, his wife and the
little birds.
yes, it's white worm, all right, 4"
said Mr.. Robin, still talking in a
funny way, for he didn't dare open
his beak. If he had he would have
let go Of the worm and it would
have popped back into the ground.
Uncle Wiggily Offers Help
Then it can't be an angle worm, 4"
said Uncle Wiggily. For they are
sort of red color Do you want
any help, Mr.. Robin?" he asked,
for he saw that his red-breasted
friend was having trouble in pull
ing up the worm. 1T must be a
long, strong one
1T certainly isl" said Mr Robin,
now somewhat out of breath. Il
wish you would help me, Uncle Wig
gily!"
The rabbit hopped close to the
bird, who, by this time, had pulled
about four incnes of the white worm
out of the ground. Taking hold
with his paws below where Mr..
Robin had a grip on the worm in
his beak, Uncle Wiggily pulled. The
bird pulled. They both pulled.
Then, all of a sudden, they both
fell over backward. For the worm
had broken IN twop ieces. Uncle
Wiggily jumped up, crying:
"Oh, no! Anyhow, you got half
the worm!"
Worm nothing! Look!" chirped
Mr.. Robin. It's only a piece Of
small rubber tubing that we've
been pulling on. 1t was white
rubber tube buried in the ground.
Oh, how we were fooled!" Then Mr..
Robin laughed in a jolly way, and
so did the rabbit, and the red
breasted bird went to another part
of the lawn where he pulled up a
real worm--a red one.
And if you will please not let the
