HUGEPROGRAM FACES JEWETT , IN FINAL YEAR Election Over, City Heads Turn Attention to Redeeming Promises. WORKING AGAINST TIME With the election over and Mayor Charles W. Jewett asserting. "We must get down and get some of this business done,” city department heads have begun to take stock of the work which they hope to do during the coming year. They find a tremendous program awaiting their administrative efforts if they hope to go out of office with the record of things accomplished which was promised by Mr. Jewett before his election. Foremost among the things which the administration says it desires to get done are to have practically all of the track elevation project completed, the Street improvement program carried through, the municipal yards under way, the collection of garbage and the disposal of sewage on a modern basis, a $600,000 nnrses’ home at the City Hospital erected, the fire /lepartment motorized and placed under the two platoon system and a number of swimming pools and shelter houses erected In the public ,parks and playgrounds. REALIZ AT lON OF SCHEME DEEMED POSSIBLE NOW. Many of these projects have been promised by the administration for the past two years, but. It is said, they have been held up either through the lack of money, due to the muddle which the mistake of taxing authorities at the courthouse in 1919 caused or by the unsettled conditions of the bond market. With financial conditions becoming steadier and with good prospect of the city being abls to make its taxes and its expenditures meet next year, this excuse will have vanished. John Elliott, assistant city civil engineer In charge of track elevation, Stated that if no unforeseen difficulties develop all of the downtown section of track elevation will be completed by the end of next year and possibly the elevation of the Big Four and Lake Erie

a_td Western tracks across Washington street to Massachusetts avenue and of the Pennsylvania tracks east to State street. These latter extensions depend, of course, upon the financial condition of the railroads involved. The city will be well fixed with funds for this work. The downtown work which remains to be done includes the finishing touches on the Union Station, and the Senate avenue. Noble, Davidson and East streets subways. Extension of the elevation across Washington street is contingent, to some extent, upon a change in track plans which the Lake Erie and AVestern company contemplates, Mr. Elliott said. This should not serve as a bar serious enough to prevent the completion of the section by the end of 1921 all other things being favorable, he added. MAY PUSH ELEVATION OF INDIANAPOLIS UNION. It is possible, the track elevation engineer said, that some move toward the elevation of the Belt Railroad, from White River, across the entire west side may be undertaken next year, depending upon the financial ability of of the Indianapolis Union Railway Company and their attitude toward the improvement. This improvement should be made by the end of 1922 at least, Mr. Elliott believes, and then attention should be given to the growing demands for elevation on the south side. The street improvement work which must be done next year if the Jewett administration leaves the thoroughfares in as good shape as it r*jceived them from the Joseph E. Bell regime, will keep the board of public works, the city civil engineer and Street Commissioner A O. Meloy busy for twelve months. The board of works admits that It did not get all the lesurfacing work done this summer that U had planned, chiefly because many resolutions were postponed until next spring In response to the plea of property owners that labor and material prices probably would come down. Refusal of the city council to order lru prcver.ents over the remonstrance of property owners further curtailed the work. A resume of the street, sewer and sidewalk work accomplished and that planned for next year is being prepared by the engineer’s office. Until this Is completed the board of works has no definite figures. There are nt least two big street projects which the board has In mind. One of these is the con-

struction, in conjunction with the county commissioners of the Delaware street bridge over Fall Creek, and the other the widening and resurfacing of sixteenth street completely across the north side. OFFICIALS STILL PLAN FOR MUNICIPAL YARD. The board plans to get the municipal yards at Kentucky avenue and Drove! street under way this spring, as soon as financial plans can be worked out. The first unit to be built will be the street cleaning and ash hauling department barns, since it is desired to vacate the present barns at 1134 Shelby street at the earliest possible moment. This unit can be erected at a cost of approximately SIOO,OOO, It is estimated. Additional motors and trailers for the ash hauling department are being purchased at the present time in order that the Increased ash output, due to the great number of new apartment houses on the north side, may be adequately bandied and the future growth of the city kept pace with. The problem of garbage collection will receive further attention in 1921. It is the hope of the board of works that the coming Legislature will put the collection in charge of the board of sanitary commissioners, which body is charged with the duty of garbage disposal. The board of works collects garbage In antiquated wagons, bought with the SIOOOO garbage plant which cost the city $176,000, and hauls it to a station at Kentucky avenue and Drover street, where it is loaded on to railroad cars and shipped to the garbage disposal plant at Sellers farm. Should the sanitary board be forced by law to take over the collection it is contended by City Purchasing Agent Dwight S. Ritter and tl.e board of works that additional motor equipment of the same kind as that of the ash-hnuling department, should be bought so that most of the total apparatus could be swung into the garbage department In the summer and to the ash-hauling department in the winter. Sixty thousand dollars’ worth of such equipment would put the garbage collection on a modern basis. If the garbage department were motorized the expense of the loading station and the upkeep of the present mules and wngons would be eliminated. STREET CAR POLICY IS STILL IN DOUBT. AA'hlle It Is the policy of the board of works to insist upon extensions of service by most public utilities, the attitude which it will adopt toward the In

dlanapolis Stivst Railway Company next year remain t to be seen. Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby has announced that the city will fight any Increase in fares for the company. The company says it cannot make all the extensions the board of works has been asking for during the past three years unless it has a higher rate and George Lemaux, president of the board, says he believes the company is entitled to a one cent transfer charge. It is believed by those close to the administration that these divergent views will bo brought together when the board formulates Us definite street railway policy for 1921. The sanitary board expects to have the first unit of the sewage disposal plant, which consists of drains and other equipment to carry sewage underneath AVhite river at Raymond street, finished by next fall? This is the work for which the United States Fidelity and Guarantee Company, bonders of the William Grace Company, of Chicago, will receive $21,000 moro for completing than the Grace Company contracted to do it for. The Grace Company refused to go on with the work after a falling out with the board and the board made an agreement with the bonding company to complete It at the higher figure. The second unit of the sewage disposal system, which Is the drain connecting the Raymond street plant with the site of the disposal plant at Sellers farm may be gotten under way before 1922. PLAN MOTORIZATION OF FIRE DEPARTMENT. The board of public safety expects to see the complete motorization of the fire department and the erection of two new fire houses before the end of next year as well as the establishment of the two platoon system in the department. The budget for 1921 provides for the. gradual strengthening of personnel of the fire force until there are enough men to have the two-platoon system In full operation. It Is hoped to accomplish this by the middle of the year. It Is probable also that the board of safety will do something definite toward carrying out Its long heralded promises to rehabilitate the city market. It has been so long since the board started out to do this that almost everybody has forgotten Just wliat was proposed. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary of the board of public health, stated that besides erecting the VIOO.OOO nurses’ home at the City Hospital, the board would like to Increase the number of inspectors looking after the sources of

the city’s milk supply in the country, put on more restaurant Inspectors, increase the school nurse force and have additional workers In the food and bacteriological laboratories. The purchasing agent’s department needs a warehouse with from 15,000 to 20,000 sqnare feet of floor apace in which city purchases, made in quantities big enough to effect material savings, might be stored, and also needs the establishment of the centralized purchasing plan, by which the purchasing agent buys and pays for all things needed by the various departments lr. job lots as the opportunity for favorable prices develops and then parcels out the articles to the departments as needed, according to Mr. Ritter. Under the present system the department head files requisitions with tho purchasing agent for the articles needed and the purchasing agent buys the quantity needed. The department head then sends in vouchers for the payment of the articles. The board of park commissioners have announced plans to build several rhelter houses In the parks, two large swimming pools and fourteen playground pools. Sahara Grotto Plans Two Ceremonials Sahara Grotto of the Mystic Order of the Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm will hold a Thanksgiving ceremonial the evening of Nov. 22. There will be a banquet, a pilgrimage, an Oriental love feast and the presentation of "The Path of the Moon” In the theater of the Athenaeum.

FIGHT TO HOLD REPRESENTATION Six Counties of State May Lose Members in Legislature. A big fight is in prospect In the regular session of the General Assembly, which convenes Jan. 6, when an attempt wm ue mane to reapportion the legislative representation of the ninety-two counties of the State. Six counties, Clinton, Grant, Kosciusko, Lawrence, Randolph and Shelby, are likely to lose representatives In the shuttle, and the representatives from these counties are expected to fight hard to retain their present membership, Marion County, which now has ten representatives, will probably gain one representative, and the senatorial representation, which is now four, with one Joint Senator, will likely remain the same. The State constitution provides that the legislative representation shall be baaed on the number of male voters in each county, and shall be apportioned each six years. The house has 100 members, while fifty Senators comprise the membership of the upper branch of the Assembly. A constitutional amendment will be introduced in the regular session to Include women In the enumeration of voters, so that they may be considered in the reapportionment. The apportionment to be made at this session of the assembly will be on the enumeration of voters made In 1919. Lake County will gain one representative, making its representation In the lower house five Instead of four. St. Joseph County gained In population, but it will remain with the will of the Legislature whetfseT it will gain in legislative representation. Vigo. Madison and Howard Counties also may receive additional representation. Reapportlonraent of congressional districts may also be taken up by the next Cuticura Talcum is Fragrant and' Very Healthful Sample free of Cuticura Laboratories, Dept everywhere.
