ment providing for the establishment of an Ohio bond commission. The vote was 1,021,000 to 509,800.

The measure, previously approved by both houses of the legislature and signed by the governor, would have given the commission the power to issue revenue or general tax bonds, not exceeding .75 of 1 per cent of the state’s total general revenues of each prior fiscal year, to finance various projects. According to the receipts of the last fiscal year, re- ported by the Bond Buyer, the com- mission would have been empowered to spend approximately $120 million. All of the projects involved were subject to additional legislative approval.

Cleveland Approves Income Tax

Cleveland voters have approved, by better than a two-to-one vote, an income tax of .5 of 1 per cent. This proposal was passed by the city council last year and became effective January 1. A referendum petition forced the issue to be presented to the voters a t the May primary, and it was approved by a vote of 84,000 to 35,600.

Cleveland is the last of the large Ohio cities to enact a city income tax. I t will be used mainly for operating the general fund, to include policemen, fire- men and general needs.
