Members of the board of public safety, discussing their plans for rehabilitation of the city market in a conference with the board of works and the city council last night, reduced their estimate of the from 5125,000, made several months ago, to SIOO,OOO. -- Decrease in building material costs and a change in the plan to put all stands upon standard bases so as to permit flushing the floor with fire hose make possible the lower estimate, A. L. Taggart, president of the board of safety, said. Architects are drawing plans for the improvements. As soon as these are completed and some “minor matters cleared up,” Mr. Taggart said he belleted the ordinance authorizing a bond issue for the work will be sent to the cltv council. The city administration has been discussing the market changes for two years. Some councilmen have objected to the expenditure of more than $25,000 or $30,000. but it was reported that little opposition to the board's plans was expressed in the conference. It was suggested thJt a public comfort station be available at all times, instead of on market days only. Anew plumbing system, new floors, painting and a rearrangement- of stands are contemplated. In a special meeting preceding the conference the council, without a dissenting vote, suspended its rules and passed an ordinance ratifying the contract between the board of works and the Losey-Nash Retail Company for the purchase of two Titan five-ton tractor trucks for the ash hauling department at a price of S9.3tSU.

Scenes characteristic of the Paris underworld, it is claimed, were enacted.

McCray, chairman of the advisory committee of the State Hoover child-feeding organization, is deeply interested in the cause of the starving children of Central Europe. The Governor today issued a statement, pointing out the humanitarian and economic necessity of saving these lives. The statement is issued in the hope that in any section of the State where there is no Hoover organization arrangements may be made to collect the funds that section should provide. Governor McCray s statement follows: The aftermath of the war has involved tbe development and existence of millions of helpless children in Central Europe. This desperate situation calls for the most generous response from this, the only creditor nation on the face of the earth today. The saving and safeguarding of these young lives will mean much to the future of the social and commercial world and it is not only an act of humanity, but also of economy to give abundantly that the lives of 3,500,000 shall lie saved. WARREN T. M’CRAY, Governor of Indiana. Governor McCray was one of tbe speakers at the Hoover "invisible guest" luncheon here la- week, at which a miniurum of SIOO a i late was charged for a meager ration of rice, cocoa and black bread and which resulted iu collecting approximately $85,000 f.-r the fund. In introducing Mr. Hoover on this occasion Governor McCray paid a tribute to him as “the great friend of humanity.”

A disposition to dispense with superfluous employes attached to the pay roll during the period of Government control Is given as the principal reason.

Other railroads are expected to follow the lead of the Great Northern.
