CITY TAX LEVY IS UNCHANGED Council Establishes 1929 Rate at 91 Cents.

The ordinance re-establishing the existing levies to govern the payment of taxes in Muncie in 1929 was passed by a 9-0 vote at the special meeting yesterday noon. The meeting was made necessary to obviate necessity for a meeting of the council tomorrow night--Labor Daywhen Councilmen Budd and Herron on Friday night declined to vote in favor of suspension of the rules to permit its final consideration then. Neither Budd com Herron attended yesterday's session. Those present were Councilmen Friedley. Allen, Haylor, Replogle, Adams, Dawson, Barnes, McCullough and Wallace.

Each voted favorable on establishment of the tax levies, aggregating 91 cents on each $100 taxable propperty. The rate, though it remains the same, will net the city increased revenues due to the increase of nearly six million dollars in valuations over the property appraisements of one year ago, being based on values totaling $62.550,040. The municipality should net around $570,000. Tentative Rate Sought Was $1.37. The rates established include cents for corporations or general fund taxes: 10 cents for bond sinking fund; 7 cents for park purposes; cent for eity plan commission operations; 1 cent for firemens' pension fund and 1 cent for policemens' pension fund.

In each instance they are the same as have been effective this year. Under the tentative budget presented in July, which has since been in hands of the finance committee of the council and was subjected to material changes that lowered the sums asked for. the rates sought totaled $1.37. The levies finally found necessary is 46 cents under the proposed rates. Supervised Play Arranged For.

Both Councilmen Budd and Her- ron on Friday night voiced their beliefs that certain of the items eliminated entirely or materially reduced by the amended budget should be reinserted. but the motions made by Budd and seconded by Herron for supervised play in the city parks were tabled. These so included $5,950 which was reduced to $1,500: the sum of $2,500 for purchase of street name signs, eliminated. and $33,000 for use in cutting back curbs and widening certain city streets as a provision of betterment of traffic conditions. The matter of supervised play, it has been explained, will be arranged for.

President Wallace of the council said there will be play supervision "by experienced supervisors, not as expensive as has been the rule this Relative to the street name signs, it was pointed out that despite the fact the agreement of one year ago was for a plan of purchase, this year's investment in street signs was made only last week. They will not be placed until later this fall. "and the city can drop out for one year without injury." The finance committee removed from the budget the proposed expenditures for street widening purposes, Councilman Adams of the committee, said, on the theory that the time has not vet arrived for such a procedure. He insisted, that traffic can rules solve now present oper- day problems. Nichole Avenue to Be Graded.

By providing only for building of retaining walls, grading and graveling of Nichols avenue extension. project and taking care of the city's share of expense of construction of a temporary subway at the Nickel Plate Railroad crossing on the avenue, the sum of $29,200 in the proposed budget for curbs, gutters and paving, including $7.150 for relocation of Godman avenue, was saved. It is the finance committee's contention that the grade when built should stand at least twelve months before attempt is made to place the curbs and gutters and to pave streets. However. when graded and graveled it can be used.

The avenue affords approaches to the new concrete bridge across White Continned on Twenty-Afth Page. MUNCIE OPTIMISTS ARRANGING PICNIC Anderson Club to Be Guests at Affair Wednesday.

MEN MORE CAREFUL WITH WATCHES IS BELIEF OF JEWELER Watches--wrist and other typeswill retain their time regularly a longer period in the hands of a man than when the owner is a member of the opposite sex, believes a Muncie jeweler. This belief is based on the fact that the greater number of time- brought tO his shop for regulation belong to women. "It is probably due to the habits of a man, who does everything on a schedule because of his physical and mental make-up and training," he said.

"For instance, a man will wind his watch at a certain time during the day or night, according to the individual ways. This regularity maintains the regularity. "But in the case of a woman, who naturally nervous and high strung, there is no set time for the winding of her watch. When she becomes the least bit upset. she invariably will begin twisting the stem and the watch soon breaks down under the stain.

Irregularity of winding always will cause the delicate mechanism to either run too fast, or too slow," he concluded.

Injuries Lower Plant Production.

Chief objects of the campaign are to reduce accidents in industrial institutions. Appeals will be made to workmen that they avoid carelessness. also that they retrain from venturing into hazardous situations where unnecessary chances may add to the danger of injury being sustained. Workers will be encouraged to carry home with them the ideas gleaned in their daily toils and to suggest that members of their family circles adopt measures tending to the prevention of Accomplishment of the eXpected. results will prove beneficial in all lines.

Industrial heads view possibilities of the safety drive as advantageous 10 both employes and employers. Injuries impair the ability of the worker in a large percentage of cases, if they do not entirely remove the injured man or woman from the positions they are trained to fill. It means loss of earning power, and often a lowering of the plant production through the necessity for training of a successor. Both lose In the end.

A man is charged with robbery. His wife and another man are charged with another type of thievery. Love was their loot. The husband tried to kill the other man with no knife. The husband was sentenced.

There was a divorce and the other man married the woman of his choice.
