THE PITTSBURGH SUNDAY POST, JAXUAKY IS, 192', SECTION' ONE "PA OF, FIVE Elks Association THIS YEAR'S LEVY WILL BE To Honor Ruler FIXED AT MEETING TOMORROW (Continued From. Page One.) Sale of Annual Armstrong's Reasons For 158 Mill Increase In County Tax Millage USE! "I never gnt far by rrj-inp to fool myself, so why try to fool thn Alle-Cheny connty taxpayers on th 1925 or any othrr tax levy?" said Chairman Joseph i. Armstrong: of the commissioners board yesterday, after be had prophesied the levy wonld go up mills over the 1924 levy, to 6 mills. Ho enumerated briefly his chief reasons for the 33 1-3 per cent increase: The people's bond issue interest and sinking: fund charges will add mill tax for debt service. Comity roads have been neglected in maintenance, and mill is needed to be added to the road tax.

The growth in county projects, many within the city, show the need of levying one more mill for greneral county purposes other than roads and debt service. About $2,117,353 more will be available for conducting- the connty government in 1923 than in 1924. Reception and Banquet To Be Held On February 24. The Elks of Pennsyl-vfmia, Southwest district, numbering-21 lodges, -will pive a reception and banquet in honor of Grand Exalted Ruler John G. Price in the William Vf.im Hotel Tuesday nisrht, February 2 i.

Many nationally known Elks are scheduled to deliver addresses and the affair is expected to be the most notable one yet given by this organization. The visit to Pittsburgh of Grand Exalted Ruler Price will terminate a six weeks' tour which he and other members of his staff are making- in the interest of Elkdom. The Elks Temple in Philadelphia will be dedicated on the day previous to the holding of the reception here. F. J.

The apparent lack of $1,745,200 between the amount needed for the.

pruned budget and the amount that 64 mill tax will yield, may be wiped out by other receipts the county has in reserve, namely, returns from fines and rentals. Or this discrepancy may be wiped out by further cutting of the budget, or by issuance of commissioners' bonds. MORE CUTS UNLIKELY. Further cutting of the budget appears to be far from the commissioners' intention, however, as they have set up a 60-mile road rebuilding program in the budget and showed a disposition to push through as many projects as possible during the next year. The 1924 receipts of the county totaled $8,447,724, which was $867,806 more than the yield from the tax levy of 4 mills, which was $7,579,318.

If the 1925 receipts total one-thiru. more than the 1924 receipts, the county wiU get or only $912,324 less than the total budget, cut to yesterday. A mill tax is figured as equivalent to $1,300,000. The 6. mill levy likely would be divided mill for debt service, mill for road maintenance and 5 mills for all other purposes.

BUDGET HELD JUSTIFIED. Chairman Armstrong justified the 604, but unpaid bills totaling $10,413 were added to this sum. Allen asked $35,677, an increase of $27,692 for automobiles and supplies, saying there were 116 motor equipment pieces to be kept up; that $8,280 was needed for gasoline, and $9,084 for tires, tubes and repairs. He asked $88,004 for the county garage, a decrease of $14,039 from 1924, and a total of $169,012 for the Parkview shop, and wanted an addition of $1,783 for fire insurance there. Gumbert urged the county build a garage to care for all its motor equipment, much of which now is sheltered in rented garages or stands outdoors, Hellick and Bridge Superintendent Thomas Armstrong "said.

An item of $800 for garage rental was questioned, and will be passed on tomorrow morning.

Ganoe, chief of police of the crease to materialize it, with the declaration that S2 per cent of county expenditures are governed by acts of the legislature, and only 12 per cent are under the county chiefs control. He also produced testimony from the county controller's office, showing the tremendous growth in the juvenile court budget from $177,555 in 1916 to $510,985 in 192S, a 300 per cent increase in eight years, to try to prove that the commissioners are not all to blame. Commissioners James Houlahen and Addison Gumbert said they would not prophesy what the 1925 county tax levy would be, but said they would be on hand tomorrow to help Chairman Armstrong fix the miilag' at whatever figure was needed to run the county government efficiently.

Sherwood Anderson, novelist and short story writer, whose writing, critics say, gave a new impetus to American literature, will give a lecture on "Recent Occurrence in American Literature" at Carnegie Lecture Hall, Carnegie Institute, Wednesday night, under auspices of the Quill Club of the University of Pittsburgh.

Mr. Anderson, who lives In New Orleans, is a native of Ohio, and his writings have been mostly about the people of the Middle West. It was Anderson's stories that gave birth to the term, "Middle-West" literature. His appearance here is considered by members of the various literary clubs as an event of the first importance. "Sherwood Anderson," Roger Sergei of the English department of the University of Pittsburgh said yesterday, "is one of the gTeat figures of American literature.

He ranks with the immortals. His advent was startling, and he upset many a treasured literary tradition, for until Sherwood Anderson appeared, the "poor folk' of American literature were merely effigies filled with sawdust. Through him they became alive." Every Piano Has Been Thoroughly Gone Over and Is Guaranteed to Be in Perfect Playing Condition itjipnniHis from upward from upward CUTS MADE YESTERDAY.
