turned over to the city engineer
and the street commissioner for
investigation.
The action followed reading of a
letter from E. B. Wallace, district
engineer for the state division of
highways, in which he expressed the
opinion the closing of the Ross
street crossing would not satisfy
the government requirements that
a crossing be closed in the immed-
late vicinity of the proposed under
pass.
Federal grade separation money
cannot be utilized beyond the limit
of 1900 feet on either side of the
crossing, thus leaving considerable
expense to the city for the provision
of paved approaches. Unpaved
stretches of State street also would
have to be paved, Wallace said. He
said a rough survey revealed that,
exclusive of right of way costs. the
portion outside the 1900 feet limit
would cost approximately 100000.

PRICE SET ON
BIG OIL FIRM

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 90. UP
Federal Judge William P. James
today Set at $31 ,O6O,010 the mini
mum asset value of properties of
the Richfield Oil and Pan-Ameri-
can Petroleum Corp, which are
scheduled to be sold at public
auction here, Jan. 81.
In establishing an upset price,
the court held that the properties
should be sold as whole rather
than in individual parcels.
Judge James said it would be
unfair to investors to permit pur-
chasers to select choice properties
at their own price and leave the
remainder to be sold for made
quate sums. Piecemeal sale, he
held, would destroy the goodwill
value of the companies as going

BONUS VETO
AN TICIPATED
BY CONGRESS
Huge Election Year
Deficit Seen by
Lawmakers

WASHINGTON, Jan. %.
(UP)-A congress beginning
to foresee a SIS, 00O,000,000 or
S6,OOO,OOO,OOO election-year
deficit and fearful of new
tax proposals awaited anxiously
today President Roosevelt's expect
ed veto of the cash-bond bonus
bill.
Most of the deficit will be charg-
ed against the bonus, which ap-
pears assured of enactment even
if vetoed, and the cost of arm
relief which no longer pays its
way since the AAA was outlawed
by the supreme court.
The $2,237 100000 bonus bill sped
through the house Wednesday and
was delivered personally to the
White House by Rep Claude v.
Parsons, D., ILL.,, chairman of the
committee on enrolled bills.
The presidents associates have
indicated he will veto it after its
provisions have been examined. 1t
will first be sent to Secretary of
the Treasury Henry Morgenthau,
jr., for study Mr.. Roosevelt has
10 days in which to veto, sign the
bill or permit it to become law
without his signature.
Leaders Optimistic
Leaders of the united veterans
organization, supporting the CASH
bond payment plan, viewed the
house SO to SO vote on the Vinson
-Patman bill and the 346 to So
approval of the compromise pass
ed "a to 16 by the senate, as as
surfing sufficient votes to override
veto.
Realizing that new tax legisla-
ticn this session might be extreme
ly unpopular, house and senate
leaders were silent No new tax
legislation will be offered, it was
indicated, unless a stern, forth
| right demand comes from Pres
ident Roosevelt.
