One of the ALLEGATIONS set UP
in the payroll tax ordinance pro
vides for $550,000 annually for
capital Improvements. In its
strictest sense, capital improve
ments would not permit enlarg.
ing of Fairgrounds, building adj
ditional swimming pools, ac-
quiring more park lands for de-
velopment or otherwise spend
ing the money to provide the
youth of Toledo with enlarged
recreational facilities.
In addition to the capital ex-
penditure fund in which the
meaning of the word capital has
not been defined, there is an
other fund set up for all surplus
tax money, which, according to
the terms of the ordinance, must
be used TO retire debts outside
the 10-mill limitation.
1t is my understanding that
debts outside the 10-mill limita-
ton cannot be retired before the
maturity date of the bonds, in
some instances as long as 10 or
more years in the future. This
means that the surplus as 1t is
now accumulating will lie idle
waiting for bonds to mature.
These funds could be used TO
good purpose in creating pub
lie works program which would
improve Toledo and make it a
more modern city.

Damage 10 Szepingkaii
|Bv Reds Dims EIation
|0f Nationalist Victory
By the Associated Press

MUKDEN, July 1.-The entire
economic and military position oi
the Chinese government in Man.
churia remains an uneasy one, de-
spite general expressions of satisfac-
ton over the recovery of Szepingkai
the badly damaged rail city which
Chinese Communists exploited to
the full, then left in ruins.
Damage by the Reds to the Muk-
den -Changchun rail line, through
Szepingkai, still has not been de-
f1nitely surveyed but it is bound to
require months to repair.
Government sources in the last
few days have carefully emphasized
the extent of Red losses at Sze-
pingkai. (They said $4,000 troops,
three-fifths of the whole Red strik-
ing force in Manchuria, had been
killed or captured. The figure has
not been conflrmed) No one, how
ever, can deny that the Communist
offensive has been a severe shock to
the Manchurian economy.
In metric tons of foodstuffs carted
away or redistributed to inhabitants
of Kungchuling, Szepingkai and
Kaiyuan alone, the loss to the gov
ernment has been enormous. All
three of these places held great
stores of grain-enough of a surplus
to pull government-held Manchur-
ian areas comfortably through the
remainder of the year. Now this
balance has been upset.
Communists also have been rails
ing hob with electric power, heavy
industry and mining installations.
Only trickle of electricity now
flows into Mukden-which once had
ample power for large industrial
plants.
In North China, 1000 Communist
guerrillas attacked four government
outposts on the outskirts OF Sanho,
30 miles east of Peiping, and routed
the defenders in an all-night battle,
government reports said.
Government reinforcements re-
captured Peshotien in their drive
southwark toward beleaguered Pao-
ting, capital Of Hopeh Province, rs
miles south of Peiping.
Chinese dispatches said govern
ment forces within the northern
section of Paoting counterattacked
and drove the Communists from the
city's defenses.

The action meant simply that a
