Mrs. Fate stirred up her pot containing the sequence of events and ladled at least two of them concerning the city indianapollß out In Just the right order the other day. For some time Superintendent of Garbage Collection Buoh'inan has had fears that the horse which has been serving as the motive power for the “dead dog wagon’’ ror nobody knows how long, was not for this world for long. So the board of works had Introduced in the city council two weeks ago an ordinance appropriating $602.50 for the purchase of a light motor truck to take the place of the horse and wagon. This evidently was too much for the pride of the horse, for he died last Satjrday. The council, without knowing it was Joing so, for it knew nothing of the fleath of Dobbin, came to the rescue Monday night ant: passed the truck appropriation. Frank- A.

URGES BUS LINES FOR INDIANAPOLIS Advantages Over Street Cars Set Forth in Letter. The establishment of- municipal bus | lines as auxiliaries to the street car system Is the most practical method of relieving traffic congestion in the downi town district of Indianapolis, declares ' Frank S. Pryor, Frankfort, Ind.. attor- | ney and a nephew of the late Theodore I P." Shonts, who was a Panama Canal zone commissioner and president of the ; Interborough Rapid Transit Company of ! New York City. | The recommendation is made In a letter to Gnstav G. Schmidt, president of i the city council. Mr. Pryor explained that he has written the letter to Mr. Schmidt, after having read of the council president’s ordinance to establish a larger street car loop. The letter is as follows: "For a period of two years I was associated with the Fifth Avenue Coach Company of New York City, and had an occasion to study • congested trafTlc from every angle. “I am of the opinion that the Introduction of the omnibus in Indianapolis, in the heart of the business dls- | trlct and along Meridian street, would ; be a more effective and less expensive j plan to relieve the congestion In Indi&n- ---; apolis, which has grown to be of a seri- | ous and dangerous nature. “Omnibuses of the double-deck type, seating from fifty to sixty passengers, are now being operated at a great profit ! and likewise at a great convenience in i New York Cityr both by a private com- | pany and by the city of New York. They j are also being operated in Detroit, Chicago, Newark and St. Louis. PLACE AUTO BUSES ON ABANDONED LINES. “Street car companies In practically every large municipality in the country have either raised their fares or abandoned certain lines. “In September last year in New York City four cross-town lines were abandoned, and the mayor promptly Installed improvised buses. “These buses were installed because they could be operated more cheaply. “Buses need no rails, no trolleys, no trolley poles or wires, no streets need be torn up, no power houses maintained. “For every street car in operation in New York City the sum of $117,000 is invested, whereas it requires less than an investment of SB,OOO for a bus and the necessary equipment for operating it. “Os course the New York estimate is higher than that prevailing in Indianapolis, but it is safe to figure that five times more capital has to be Invested In a street car than in a motor bus in your city. “Busses do not block traffic. "When a street car breaks down It blocks all the cars behind it, causing inconvenience to hundreds, i “When a motor bus breaks down, other | buses lift the passengers and drive | around the disabled vehicle. “A bus is more comfortable, for there !s a test for every passenger. There is no strap-hanging. rOINTS NUMEROUS ADVANTAGES OF BUSES. “A bus is more adaptable to changing traffic conditions. “Abandoned street car lines means a neighborhood has changed, that the traffic has moved away. “When this takes place along the line of a motor bus, the route can be changed on an hour's notice. “No valuable steel rails have to be left behind to rust, no trolley poles to rot, no streets have to be torn up to install the new routes. “Just as the horse car succeeded the stage coach, the Electric car the horse rar, so will the motor bus succeed the electric car In Indianapolis for the foregoing reasons: Seven-cent fares, 10-cent fares or even 15-cent fares will not be enough to pay for the enormous cost of operation and maintenance of the average | electric line. “The electric car is passe aeonomleaKy i as the horse car or stage coach. “There is a great demand for motor | buses to solve the traction problems now 1 confronting almost every city in the conn- j try. "In the month of September last year
are necessary studies for little brains, but don’t let them worry too much over their problems. The kiddies will learn easier if you relax their brains with bright, cheery music such as is oSered by the PHONOGRAPH “THE DIFFERENCE 18 IN THB TONI" You, too, will find the best of entertainment and refreshment in the music that comes from the Starr Singing Throat of Silver Grain Spruce. There are many scientific reasons why the Starr betters all records, but the actual proof is a “hiring.” At any time we will be glad to play the Starr and the new Gennett records for you. No obligation. We are glad to let you know why real musicians prefer the Starr. STARR PIANO CO. MANUFACTURERS 138-140 N. PENNSYLVANIA ST.
