COUNCIL TO ASK APPROVAL ON BONDJM Pledges No Increase In Dupont Tax Levy For 1947 Dupont council at a special meeting Saturday night adopted a resolution authorizing the borough solicitor, Frank L. Pinola, to petition court in order to secure approval of a bond issue of $16,000. The vote on the resolution was 5-2. Voting in favor were Guzlor, Nawalany.

Lesko, Ziobro and Fritz. Opposing were Francis and Cebula. Absent were Zigmond and Patte. Council had previously adopted, a resolution at its meeting Feb. 3rd, authorizing the secretary, Vincent snumsKi, to advertise for sealed bids for the purchase of the bonds bearing interest at the rate of 1 to 4, said bonds to be dated February 1, 1948, and the bids to be received at the borough hall up to 7:30 p.

m. March 3. President Barney Guizor explained at the Feb. 3rd meeting that the preceeds of the bond sale would be used to pay off old bills and old salary wage claims accumulated from 1939 to 1944, most of which was the result of the recent surcharge cases tried in court. He also explained that an additional $18,000 was paid off through receipt of delinquent taxes during the past few years, thus enabling Dupont to reestablish its credit.

i Before council voted Saturday night on the adoption of the latest resolution to petition court, several Dupont taxpayers asked council for permission to speak. This permission was granted, but the arguments in favor of the bond issue seemed to offset the opposing views. John Galick, a former school director, admonished council not to act in haste and he seemed to think that the interest burden was unfair to the taxpayers of Dupont. He thought it would be better to continue the system of paying off old bills and claims in the same manner that the previous $18,000 was paid off. George Fritz, member of council, said the latter view was impossible because most of the delinquent tax money has already been utilized and little, if any, additional revenue would be coming from this source.

He also explained that the costs of defending suits brought in court by creditors and the 6 per cent interest to be paid on those claims would be. more than offset by the saving in interest on the bond issues, which have a rate of rrom 1 per cent to 4 percent He also said the borough would save 6 per cent now being paid on some bank loans. Others who spoke on the issue were Michael Pello and Dominick J. Cocco. Some of the taxpayers asked council to use caution in paying off some old claims, it was proven that material and eguipment.was actually received by the borough, as designated on the vouchers.

President Guzior stated that the new bond issue would provide a better operating system for the borough, and would provide a better budget plan. He stated that the new bond issue would not bring about an increase in 1947 tax levy. He also said it would relieve council from pressure for oayments from creditors in general. Albert Lesko, member of council, said it was the plan of council to keep the tax levy at 15 mills for general purposes, and 4 mills for debt service. The 4 mill levy would be placed annually in a sinking fund to meet bond and interest when due.

The 1946 tax levy was also 19 mills. Minority Councilman Joseph Fran cis asked what would happen it bonds when due were defaulted, particularly as it would effect Dupont real estate owners. He was told that in the case of default the court would compel an increase in tax levy, but members or tne ma jority faction were confident that the borough business could be managed on the 19 mills with no danger of defaults, if the administration in power would conduct its business in an honest and efficient manner.

(IPS Death awaited two-and-one-half year old Annabelle Marsh at the end of an interrupted two-week airplane race from Palestine against the ravages of Leukemia.

The child died in a hospital yesterday less than 12 hours after her mother tearfully carried her from the plane. At the first stop for blood transfusions in Rome, Mrs. Adeie Marsh, 28, was told that her daughter could not live until they reached Paris. But in Paris the child again was hospitalized for more transfusions and the trip was resumed with ar rangements for physicians to meet the plane at Shannon, Eire; Gander, Newfoundland, and cnicago. The child's father, Absalom.

29, had returned to Chicago from Tel Aviv bv boat and arrived only few days ago. The family went to Palestine in December 1945 to arrange passage to the United States for Marsh's mother and remained in an effort to overcome a series of obstacles. A son, Gerald, 7, was left with his grandmother in Tel Aviv when Mrs. Marsh began the frenzied trip to Dlace Annabelle in the hands of Chicago physicians. PROBE DEATH OF MORCEE Attractive German Was Friend Of U.

S. Colonel Tokvo. Feb. 10 (flVU. S.

Army officers today investigated the death of Paula Schneider, tall and attractive German divorcee, who shot herself in an American officer's quarters. Scheduled to be returned to Germany about Feb. 13, she committed suicide with the service revolver of a colonel with whom Tokyo's German colony said she had been friendly. The U. S.

Eighth Army Public Relations Office said the colonel had been her frequent escort in Tokyo. He has been in Manila for some time, however, and was not involved in any way in her death. Mrs. Schneider made a last telephone call to her young daughter, visiting friends in the country, and told her to "be a good girl and stay with your papa." Then she went to the room of a major, a ciose friend of the colonel, and fired the fatal shot. A long-time resident of Japan, Mrs.

Schneider was divorced last Summer from her husband, former head of a German industrial firm in Tokvo. German friends said she had hoped to marry the American colonel and become an American citizen. But he was transferred to Manila; and official notices soon came to Mrs. Schneider, her former husband and manv other Germans here, instruct- ing them to prepare to board ship for Germany by reD. id.
