MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. D.
Beaten in their last six games
with the Chicago Bears. the Red
skins are slight favorites to get
back into the series win column
here tomorrow in an exhibition
game sponsored by the knights of
Columbus.
Both teams will be battling for
their third consecutive victory and
upwards of $4,000 fans are ex-
pected to see what may be the
blue ribbon class of pro footballs
pumpkin circuit. The K. Of C.'s
welfare fund is guaranteed tidy
profit with tickets selling at $3.50
a copy. The only cloud in the sky
threatened a few scattered thunder
showers tomorrow with no relief
from the 85-degree heat.
(The game will be broadcast
over WMAL starting at 4 p.mo
Heat Should Help Redskins.
Soaring temperatures and the
Bears age will help the Redskins
win, say some experts. 1t is no
secret that the Bears predomin-
antly veteran outfit, need plenty Of
time and toll to sweat off surplus
suet. But Redskin coaches de-
tected warning note in coach

ment that I'VE aren't ready for
a tough game like this"
The Bears gave preview OF
their explosive power in waxing

points in the last 18 minutes. They
had a sterner test against the
youthful New York Bulldogs. who
bowed by 1T margin, but
Tribe coaches point out that in
both games the Chicagoans got
the points when needed. and didn't
have George McAfee in the Bull
dog game.
Everybody - but Halas - seems
agreed the Bears are the team to
watch in the National Football
Leagues western division. They
had the second best record in the
league last year, dividing two
games with the Cardinals. western
champs, and losing, 12-7, to the
champion Philadelphia Eagles for
a score of 10 victories and two
losses.
Sid Luckman is expected to play
briefly tomorrow, but Johnny Lu-
jack, beginning his sophomore
year in pro ranks, should be able
to handle the quarterbacking
chores well enough. Lujack. how
ever, said he hasn't hit his best
stride, an opinion shared by scouts
who watched him in the first two
games.

The Bears apparently will de-
pend on Lujack's passing. the run

rookie George Blanda's punting
and a massive, weather-beaten
line to keep the Redskins on the

team should be the favorite. 1t

the Rams on an intercepted pass

didn't score a point in the second
half against the Lions. But dope

Personal Property
Returns Are Hiuh
Auditor Wilson
Makes Report

Auditor John Wilson today
announced that approximately
eight hundred personal property
tax returns had been filed to
date.
Figures on the returns are
rot complete but it is estimated
that each nets the county about
ten dollars. Auditor Wilson said
he had collected about $4,000
IN personal property taxes since
the collection started March 1.
March 81 will be the last day
for the filing of returns and all
persons owning taxable person
al property should file immed-
lately in order to avoid the last
minute rush.
Auditor Wilson, in a letter
from the tax commission this
week, was informed that in the
future the county auditor would
not be required to fill out re-
turns for property owners. This
year new form is being used
for reporting personal property.
The forms require a more de-
tailed report and the tax COM
missioners pointed out that the
auditor would not have the
tune necessary to help complete
them.
Mr.. Wilson stated that he
would continue to advise and
assist all persons in any way
possible.
March 81 is also the last day
for reporting oil and gas pro-
duction for the past year. All
lease holders, farmers and
landowners having income from
oil or gas wells must file a re-
port with the county auditor
before 4::30 p. m. of the last day
of March.
Auditor Wilson also said that
cigarette licenses would go on
sale April /. All merchants sell
ing cigarette to the public are
required to renew their permits
between April and May "a of
this year. Any new business
ablishments merchandising
cigarettes may purchase the
permits at the auditors office at
any time.

LII using Ine county snare Oh
the material, slagged over 130
miles of highway during the
past year. The department also
repaired or rebuilt over fifty
bridges in addition to their other
Incidental dutuies.
An unestimated portion of the
material went to the township
trustees throughout the county.
Thsi has been a standard prac-
tice for years, with the county
commissioners doling out, to the
always financially hard-pressed
trustees, a portion of the mater
ial to be used in keeping some
of the little travelled county and
township roads in repair. In
most cases, however, the trustees
are required to match the
amount given them by the COM
miSsionerS.
The 10000 tons of Stag was
purchased in one order the first
part of last year from the Stand
ard Stag Co., Youngstown, and
cost the county approximately
$27, ,720. This includes the pur-
chase price and the freight
charges. A like amount purchas-
ed the first of this month for
use during the coming year will
cost the county 100000, accord
ing to estimates.
All of the crushed stone and
gravel was purchased locally
with the largest single order be-
ing landed by Baker Bros, local
quarry owners. This order, for
428 yards of crushed stone,
amounted to $1,121.50. In addi-
ton to the above contract the
firm also landed various small
er contracts throughout the
year for another 315 yards of
stone amounting to another
$1,113.75.
Other contractors furnishing
crushed stone and gravel to the
department during 1948 include:
William Dimmerling, 1862 yards
of crushed stone at a total cost
of 1921; w. H. Wunderlich, 205
yards of gravel at cost of
$685.; Yerian Brothers, so
yards of stone, total $100; Camp
bell Brothers, SO yards of gravel,
$50; Davis & Bosner, Lowell, Is
yards of gravel, total, $31.25 and
Robert Wells, Is yards of gravel
at cost of $40.
A further breakdown of the
figures show the cost of the ma
terial per yard in each purchase
order: from VILLAIN Dimmerling,
BAT yards of crushed stone at
$3.50 per yard, total, $3.50; so
yards at $2.75 per yard and an
