The audiis show that the Cass County license branch made the biggest political contribution, $4,896, and Fulton was second at $2,374.31. "Nvo branches, Converse and Peru in Miami County, gave no political contribution. Carroll gave only $35, the Pulaski branch gave only $292.25 and the White County branch gave only On a statewide basis, the license branch system showed about $1 million in profits and $322,000 in political contributions during the year. The Bureau of Motor Vehicles report stems from an act of the 1983 State Legislature that requires the Bureau to audit the branches on an annual basis.

The report shows the average profit per branch statewide was slightly more than $5,000. The branches are under the control of the county chairman of the political party that holds the governor's seat. That is currently the GOP. A breakdown of the expenses of the Loganland license branches other than the political contributions is as follows: Cass County: salaries, rent, utilities and other business expense, taxes, miscellaneous, $2,804. Carroll County: salaries, rent, utilities and other business expense, taxes, miscellaneous, $1,250.

Fulton: salaries, rent, utilities and other expense, taxes, and miscellaneous, $816.18. Converse: salaries, rent, utilities, taxes, miscellaneous, $263.01. Peru: salaries, rent, utilities, taxes, miscellaneous, $2,262.14. Pulaski: salaries, rent, utilities, taxes, miscellaneous, $2,532.29. White: salaries, rent, utilities, taxes, and miscellaneous, $26,911.82.

Planners Approve Report Recommending Annexation BY DAVE LONG Staff Writer The Logansport Plan Commission Monday approved a committee report recommending annexation of two industrial sites into the City of Logansport. The two sites include property occupied by National Friction northwest of the city and property occupied by Logansport Machine Company west of the city. The National Friction property includes 45.6 acres while the Logansport Machine property includes 4.7 acres. Plan Commission annexation committee chairman Kenneth Smith said the report is the first formulated from an ongoing study of potential annexation for the city as a result of the annexation study formulated for Logansport. The Logansport City Council will take initial action on the annexation during its meeting on Junes.

The ordinance to be acted upon by the council proposes that city tax money to be generated from the annexation program be placed back into capital improvements for the areas involved. The fiscal plan submitted to the plan commission suggests a 10-inch water main along Center Street to the Logansport Machine property, costing $25,000, along with curbing and guttering at the National Friction site, costing $2,827.29 for an area on Holland Street and Water Street adjacent to the manufacturing facility. Plan Commission Member Gene Donato questioned the feasibility of the curbing and guttering because of a potential water runoff problem. Smith said he received no information that curbs and gutters in the area would create a water runoff problem, but said a study of the potential problem would be undertaken before the curbs and gutters were actually installed. Representatives of both National Friction and Logansport Machine Company were at the meeting, but neither commented on the annexation proposal.

Commission President William Champion said the ordinance designating the tax money be placed in a fund to insure capital improvements in the area of the annexation shows that the city "is willing to return the money into the property and not just take the money and run." The annexation committee report was approved by the commission without opposition. Zoning Administrator William Moore also reported that "there are still people in the city who don't know that they need a permit for a tow-in sign." Moore said he has found numerous signs throughout the city for which no permits have been issued by his office.

Gains were limited by a firm dollar on foreign exchanges. Corn was up Vi to off Vt cent, soybeans up 1 Vt to off Vz and wheatoH Soybeans rallied early on light delivery notices and ideas that beans would be shipped out Chicago by barge. Locals were featured buyers. Additional support for the soy complex was provided by active trading of soybean meal early today in Rotterdam. Some traders expected beans and meal to trade higher throughout the session, but looked for oil to break.

Corn and wheat traded lower but there were few sellers. Rain which fell across much of the Midwest and more rain predicted through Wednesday pressured both commodities as did the weekly planting pro- gress report. The Agriculture Department said farmers had planted 78 percent of the corn crop as of Sunday. That was well ahead of the five-year average of 51 percent for this time of year. Soybean figures were not available.

The weekly export inspections figures were in line with trade estimates. Morocco was in the market today for 200,000 metric tons of wheat. The midmorning prices: Corn May 2.82 up 'A; Jly 2.79 unch; Sep 2.68 Vt off Vt. Soybeans May 5.85 Vi up Vt; Jly 5.84 Vt up Vt; Aug 5.84 Vi up Vt; Sep 5.84% up 1 Vt.
