Late Markets INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) MONTICELLO-Mayor Carl Capper, clerk-treasurer Phyllis Hitner and fire chief Jim Franks have clarified distribution of the proposed 1973 budget. Capper said lOc of the proposed 80c increase is caused by switching revenue from parking meters from the general fund, where he said it was incorrectly, placed by previous administrations, into off-street parking purposes. Parking meter monies will now be used for new sidewalks, curbs, gutters and parking areas similar to the merchant's parking lot. Eleven to 12 cents, or about $15,000, will go toward repair of the Tioga Hill wall, which collapsed two years ago. Another 14 to 16 cents, approximately $20,000, will cover the extension of Ohio and Juanita streets.

Approximately 12 cents will accumulate monies for the police, police widow's, and firemen widow's pensions. These funds were previously Rochester Man Dies self-supporting. A utility increase, a four percent ($9,000) across-the- board salary increase, a ten percent Social Security increase (with matching funds from the city), an insurance increase, and budget increases in various city departments account for the balance of the requested increase. Franks explained that the $33,600 shown in the budget for emergency ambulance service is revenue expected from the county ($30,000) and Jefferson Carroll County ($3,600) and is no cost to the city. The proposed budget is subject to review by county and state tax ooaras oetore final passage.

The 1973 budget is based on $12,942,960 assessed valuation. An increase in this assessment would lower the proposed tax rate.

The teenager was picked up by the three men at the west edge of Wabash Monday night, according to authorities. Her father had reported her as a run-away earlier that day. Peru police became suspicious Tuesday night when they saw several men going up and down the steps leading to a second floor apartment on Broadway.

One of the men told her that they were going to an apartment which he shared with his sister in Peru.

After they arrived at the second-floor dwelling on Broadway, which was empty, she told officers that she had relationships with the men. She admitted that the relationships continued throughout Monday night and all day Tuesday. The youths at the scene when police arrived said they had learned about the girl from the other men who had left earlier. They were not charged. The girl was placed in the custody of her parents.
