to Beaverdam's Rate of
$500
Village Levy May Add 3 Mills
to Lafayette's Rate of
SI4.90

Buttons tax rate for the coming
year will be $3.50 per $1,000 worth
of taxable real estate, an increase of
90 cents over last year, according
to a report released this week by
the Allen county budget commission.
The $3.50 rate will apply on
real estate tax collections made in
December, 194S, and June, 194s,
under the new schedule.
The foregoing rate does not in
clude a proposed one mill county
levy for five years to be voted on at
the November election. Funds from
this levy would be used to provide
new county fairgrounds. The
measure, if carried would add one
mill to the rate of each taxing sub
division in the county. Start of COL
lection however, would be delayed
one year.
Included in the $3.50 rate are
STOP thousand inside the 10-mill
limitations and $3.50 in special levies
outside the limitation. The Bluffton
school rate included in the $3.50
figure is $12SO, including special
levies amounting to $7.40 of the
total.
Bluffton corporation, which last
year had rate of $3.50 for opera
tion of the city government, the low
est in the county outside of Cairo,

the coming years Ink collection.
The villages share OF the new rate
| is s3.75.

Principal benefactor of the GO
cents per thousand tax increase will
be Allen county, which will have
new rate of S3.05, in comparison
with last years rate of $3.50.
Bluffton's new tax rate of $3.50
is broken down as follows: Schools
$3.50; Bluffton corporation-$3.75;
County-s3.05; Township-.20.
Richland township in the Bluffton
school district also will have a high
er rate for the coming year; S17.40
which is 60 cents higher than last
years figure of $16.S0.
Vote on Special Levies
Final determination of tax rates
in Beaverdam school district includ-
ing Beaverdam, and also Lafayette
village will depend upon the out
come of special levies to be voted
at both places i'm the November cleo
tion.
Beaverdam school district will vote
on proposed special levy of FIVE
mills for FIVE years while Lafayette
village will vote on a proposed three
mill levy for two years.
Excluding the proposed levy the
Beaverdam village rate will be $500
per thousand, an increase of 60
cents over last years rate of S17.6O.
That portion of Riehland township
in the Beaverdam school district will
have a new rate of $3.50, up so
cents from last years s14.6O rate.
Excluding the proposed levy, the
Lafayette village rate for the COM
ing year will be S14so, a drop
from last years mark of S17.30. The
Lafayette-Jackson school district rate
of $14.90 for the coming year is so
cents higher than last year.

DR.. Emery Siposs, S.,
D. {. Physiotherapist,
Dies in California

DR.. Emery Siposs, IS, Hungarian
born physiotherapist who was said
to have treated President Roose-
welt, died Tuesday at Santa Bar
bara, Calf.
The Associated Press quoted Cor
oner John D. Ross of that City as
saying DR.. Siposs succumbed to an
apparent overdose of sleeping tab
lets. He was found sitting in
chair on a friends sunporch. The
coroner said the medical examina-
ton was incomplete.
DR.. Siposs, whose home was at
$500 @ street NV. had suffered a
nervous breakdown about a year
ago from overWork and had been in
hospitals internationally since then
until he went to California month
ago, according to a family spokes-
man.
DR.. siposs went to Argentina some
years ago to take charge of a calls
themes program for the Argentine
Army. He was brought to this
country by Robert Woods Bliss,
then Ambassador to Argentina, and
made his headquarters in Washing
ton after 1885.
Associates said the list of his CHI
ents read like a blue book of official
dom, big money and the movies.
The family reported he gave the
late President Roosevelt hydrothe-
rapy treatments from the late 1905
to 1912.
The family spokesman said no
word had been received here to in
dictate death from sleeping tablets.
DR.. Siposs was a native of Buda-
pest and was educated at Vienna
and in Germany. He was a con-
sultant at Johns Hopkins Hospital
in gymnastics treatments, phySlo-
therapy and hydrotherapy until the
time of his breakdown, the relative
said.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs.

to California last night, and a
