HOW GASH MCE! MS DISAPPEARED I - — Republicans at Stats House With No Debts to Pay Approach Smash. POLITICS AT CAPITAL CITY Millionv Savtd In Expenses and Eig Thirg* Donr in Four Democratic | Years of Mayor Bell. By Willie 8. Thompson. Indianapolis, June 8.-- When (lover ; nor Tbuiuus it Marshall. Auditor of ‘ State Wiliam H. U Brien and Treas orer of State William 11. Vollmer, ull I good Democrats und the finest of bustneas men, look over the business of managing the state finances, they as sumpd a Republican ip*bt of $2,609.163.12. There was cash in the treasury, all told, amounting to $9 46:1.91. All state institutions were in need of large repairs. All these were repaired, new ones were constructed, furnished and . put in operation under efficient management of non-partisan boards. When the affairs of state were turned over to Governor Goodrich and Ills Republican associates in January. 1917. there was cash in the treasury $5.699,331.94. Not a call had been made for advance payments from the counties fur a full year. Since January, 1917. advance calls have prevailed, and on the first day of June, five months from the time Governor Goodrich took hold, cash in the treasury is $3,329,387.10. For the full five months Goodrich has been struggling to find away to levy more taxes to keep from accumulating another Republican deficit. It is now declared that since the I Democrats have declined to agree to pass any of his extraordinary revenue producing schemes in the guise of war legislation he will not need a special session at all. The statement has been made that t specifications proved Mayor Bell to t have done more for the permanent ' improvement of the capital city, and , at smaller cost, than all previous ' administrations combined, and that | this is a great asset to Democrats now I Some requests have come for some ; specifications which might be shown | in support of the claim. Track elevation is one instance ; which interests other cities, where the people must sooner or later look to the same thing. In this work the j mayor was much hampered. Joseph j E. Bell as a candidate promised this 1 improvement. Other mayors had talked about It, the railroads had . yelled, and the talk. even, was stopped ; The News sneered at the promise made by Bell. After Mayor Bell was elected, and before he took office, the retiring Republicans rushed through the contract as the railroads asked it, and encouraged by the News, providing for leaving the tracks as they were and tunneling under tljem by lowering the street levels. This would have destroyed property values amounting to millions and would absolutely have ruined the streets. Mayor Bell demanded cancellation of this contract on the ground that the interests of the people had not been conserved. He declared nothing but genuine track elevation of the proper sort would be accepted. He got what he demanded ; and the work will soon be completed. An unsanitary stream of some size, menacing property as well as health, traversed the city. It was known as Pogue's run. It became famous as a I campaign issue, for all candidates for , years had promised to make it a cov- . ered drain and none bad ever tackled I the job. Candidate Bell promised to | cover this plague. Again the News jeered. Bell could not do all the things he was promising. After the election the old administration hurried to contract for two-thirds of tbis huge drain. It was an attractive contract to give to their friends before Mayor Bell could take office. Bell, as a citizen, enjoined the signing of the contract. He set up that proper care had not been taken in making estimates or bids and that the people's money was being dissipated. The contract which the Republic- ' ans had prepared to award was on a basis of $1,800,000 for the entire job, t the two-thirds costing $1,200,000. When Bell took his seat as mayor he prepared specifications, allowed sixty days for contractors to bid. finished the whole job for $907,000, just half what the Republicans had proposed to pay for the same job. Floods came and destroyed millions | of property. The river still menaced I the city Candidate Bell promised to ’ build levies, make these levies into ' parks and boulevards, and at a cost 1 not to exceed $1,500,000. Again he was abused and the News claimed he could not do this work for $5,000,000 and that it would take several years , to finish it. The next legislature did j not meet until 1915. Laws were then passed authorizing the work. These levies are today finished, with all the . i parking and boulevard features. It ' i all cost less than $1,200,000. The i public prints accord no credit for this. No other city in this or any other 1 state has yet completed plans and 1 specifications for levies of this sort. The new public lighting contract was made at a figure saving the city more than a million dollars in the ten years. All things possible were done . to stop this contract, even the pub- ’ lie service commission making the claim that any contract at rates lower , ’ than the commission specified was • null and void. This contract stands I today as the cheapest and best in any city in the whole country. For r this the mayor received no newspaper credit. > These are but a few of the highest points. These and other equally im- ■ portant things tell why the record i of Mayor Bell in matters of large import is an asset in assisting to draw to Dick Miiler the Republican and independent as well as the solid Demoi cratic strength—making him the next * Democratic mayor of Indianapolis.
