rIEJECTSBIDS FOR WORK ON THREE STREETS Works Boards Acts or Advice of City Engineer, Who Says The> J re High. Contending that they were from 25 to SO cents a square yard too high. Frank C. Llngenfelter, city civil engineer, today recommended to the board of public works that it reject all bids received for the permanent improvement of Tacoma avenue, from Michigan to St. Clair street; permanent improvement of Sheridan avenue from Washington street to Lowell avenue, and permanent improvement of Station street from Twenty-First street to Massachusetts avenue. The board granted the recommendation. • ♦ a Following a conference with Merle X. ajm Walker, attorney for property ownwho are seeking an injunction to prevent the board from proceeding with a resolution to open and permanently Improve Michigan street, from Dorman to Highland avenues. In order to rernov* a Jog, the board agreed with the city legal department that a demurrer to the complaint be filed and the Superior Court In which It is filed be asked to hold a hearing some time this week. If the demurrer Is sustained the board will be free to proceed and if not the matter will have to be settled by an argument upon the petition for injunction. Mr. Walker contends that the board's procedure is illegal because the resolution provides for both opening and paving. The board now is attempting to collect from property owners In the district assessed under the resolution. ADMITS IT FKOFEIt FOR OPENING STREET. ■Phis is proper in the case of the mere opening of a street, because it is necessary to have money with which to buy property in the way of the opening but it is not legal for the board to collect money for the paving of the street In advance of the work being done, Mr. Walker says. The law likewise provides that paving, excepting intersections, shall be paid for by abutting property owners. The Michigan street improvement is assessed over a district six blocks wide and more than two miles long. All action was rescinded upon resolutions for the permanent improvement of Spann avenue from Shelby to Laurel streets and the permanent improvement of English avenue from the Big Four railroad to Keystone avenue. Readvertislng for bids was ordered on the grading of Ohio street from Gale to Brookville avAiues. A contract with Thomas A. Moynahnn for the laying of a switch from the Big Tour railroad across Pratt street to iPratt street and Senate avenue was approved.

With an astounding percentage of au omoblle accidents at night credited to hea llight glare—something the many type.- cf reflectors and lenses does not entirely eliminate—a new plan for making the country highways as safe as the ved lighted city streets will be welcome Jews to the thousands who use the highways. This new plan for banishing the glaring headlight does not call for any change in the automobile or Us headlight. There are now hundreds of different kinds of tights and reflectors, ail advertised as a cure for this evil which is annually costing so many lives, but still the accidents occur with the same old excuse—blinded by the other fellow's headlight. A simple economic way for illuminating the highways so there will be no need for the glaring lights on the country roads than on the city streets, is the solution of the problem offered by the General Electric Company, which has just completed anew type incandescent iamp reflector after months of study and experimenting by the company’s corp of illuminating engineers. A test installation has been made at Swampscott, Mass., which has fulfilled all pledges and predictions of the designers—a well lighted highway without a great waste of Illumination on the adjoining fields. An incandescent lamp of 250 candlepower Is all that Is needed in these reflectors, placed at a height of thirty feet at distances from 400 to 600 feet upart, to illnminate the roadway so well there is no need for the glaring headlights. CALLED PARABOLIC NT.ST HIGHWAY LIGHTING EXIT. This new type of reflector, known as the parabolic nest highway lighting unit, embodies an entirely new and distinct feature for collecting the light rays and casting them only where needed. Engineers have spent years studying schemes to prevent the illumination of fields and adjoining roadways and yet have a light that would properly illuminate the road and do so without glare. A nest of reflectors, or a series of three, one within the other, Is th# outstanding feature of the new unit There are similar openings

Some Advantages of Highway Lighting Some of the advantages of highway Illumination offered by the new type G-E reflectors are: Prevent accidents by showing up dangerous curves, by reducing headlight glare and by illuminating signs on sides of roads and other obstacles. Add to comfort of night driving by relieving eye strain, by assisting in making repairs and by discour aging hold ups. Increase night traffic and thereby relieve day congestion. Decrease running time and increase road .capacity. Will help bring electricity to the farm by providing a pole line. Will increase real estate values by tending to extend city along highways and by bringing ele.trlcal conveniences into the homes.

on either end and by this means the greater part of the light that would be ! lost under ordinary conditions by reflectj lng upward and out to the adjoining I fields is collected and cast in either direction upon the road surface. The rays tLnt would escape If only the one reflector was used are picked up by the inner reflectors and directed toward the roadway, at an angle of ten degrees below the horizontal, giving the same effect as an overhead reflector fifteen feet in diameter. The white reflecting surfaces of the unit reduces the glare from the Incandescent lamp without the aid of diffusing globes. The fixture also affords a much better protection to the blobe than offered by the type of reflector now found on some highways on the outskirts of cities. ! The bracket bolding the reflectors is adjustable in both vertical and horizontal directions so that the fixture can be mounted on poles close to the edge ! of the highway or on others which may ; be back many feet and can also be turned

ACCIDENT SCRVEY IN CLEVELAND TYPICAL. A survey recently was made in the city of Cleveland of the 3.540 traffic accidents [ that occurred during one year. This was done to show so far ns' possible how i many of the 1,059 accidents which oc- • curred after dark would have been av >ided if daylight or its equivalent h'.d bin j available. It showed that 292 atcidents, fourteen of which Were classed as fatal, I were directly attributed to lack '>f lig.it. ; This conclusion was rea-hed by c.-iu-i paring the number of accidents during I the hours of the night which are light j in the summer and dark in the winter, j The condition in Cleveland la considered typical of those in other large cities, all tending to show the need for better Illumination of the country highways. Now that a lighting unit his been developed which appears to hnvc solved the problem so far as Illumination is concerned. there remains but one outstanding obstacle to make the highways safe at and that is a plan for apportioning the expense of She improvement. Farmers who own the land adjoining the roads claim their benefit will be but sinal! ns compared to wbnt autoif i from all parts of the State and cour. ry will receive. They feel tho installing should be done the same as roads are improved, sinc£ this Is an improvement to traffic Just as essential as a smooth road surface. It is a Job for the adjoining cities or the State highway departments, they feel. * Several communities have already become Interested and plan Installations of the new lights for short distances and It is believed that when tbsf 1 decided advantages >f better light for country roads is actually seen, a step In soliciting th ehelp o( the States will be taken, perhaps being fostered by automobile clubs and organizations whose member* would derive the greatest benefit.

BRIDGING GAP HEALTH BOARD'S CHIEF PROBLEM Lack of Finances From July to November May Require New Loan. Discussion of means of bridging a gap in finances between July 1 and the last of November when the fall Installment of taxes is received, will be the chief business before the board of public health at its weekly meeting tonight. The board faces the necessity of either obtaining an extension of time upon temporary loans falling due July 1 or negotiating anew loan of approximately $200,0000. From taxes the hoard received $330,000 in May. It now has in its treasury aronnrt $7,000 and will receivve $15,000 or $20,000 more from the county treasurer late this month. Out of this there must be met temporary lsans and bills amounting to $339,000. One of the loans aamounting to $115,000 has been carried over from 1920 and the other, for $210,000, was made early this year. Interest charges to be paid on the two loans at the time of retirement total $10,882.14. making a totJll of $335,882.14 to be spent on account of the loans. By paying up these obligations and meeting the July 1 pay roll of the health department and the city hospital practically all of the money to come Into the board's hands before next November will be exhausted, Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary, estimated. It will be necessary to exercise strict economy in order to keep the expenditures within $200,000 from July to November, Dr. Morgan said. The board must meet another 1921 temporary loan of SIOO,OOO, due Dec. 4, and this, with the $200,000 to be borrowed now, practically will eat up all the funds to be received from taxation In Xovmeber. The health department has been operated upon temporary loans ever since it was made a separate taxing unit, for the reason that the law did not provide for financing it during the first six months of its existence until its money began to come In upon Us own tax levy. The board also will consider the request of negro physicians of Indianapolis that a school for negro nurses, who will cßre for patients of their own race, be established at the Cit* Hospital.

SAYS BRITAIN IS ‘SLAVEHOLDER’ Senator Norris Appeals to Senate to Recognize Irish Freedom. WASHINGTON, June 20.—Great Brit aln was branded as a “slaveholder” for her refusal to grant Ireland Independence hy Senator Norris, Republican, 'of Nebraska in urging adoption of his resolution for Irish freedom in the Senate U> day. "it Is Just as unjust, Just as unholy Just as reprehensible for one civilized ntlon to hold another civilized nation in subjection as it is for an individual to own the flesh and blood of his fellow - being und to sell and traffic in human slavery," declared Norris. Norris flayed the recent activities of the British military in Ireland and declared that promises of self-determination made by Premier Lloyd George during the war were nu.llfled and Ireland betrayed by the autocrats who sat in secret around tho peace table at \ers allies. The British military forces, Norris declared, “resort to methods that violate every civilized rule of warfare and cannot be defended before any honest tribunal.’’ He defended the methods of warfare employed by the Irish, asserting that Ireland was driven to the practices in seif defense. Argument* sthat Irish Independence would endanger Great Britain, because Ireland may be used as n base to attack England, were ridiculed by Norris. The argument followed to its natural conclusion, ho declared, “means that England mi.st have tinder her flag the entire world,” co protect herself. “In the name of liberty and freedom for which our forefathers fought. - * X’orrls concluded his appeal, “In the name of tne silent voice of conscience that breathes forth from the soul of every free man and woman; In the name of Christian civilization; In the name of progress and humanity, 1 appeal to the Senate to express the sentiment of the American people by protesting before a suffering, waiting world against the cruelties that are being heaped upon the Irish people and demand for this long suffering, but courageous and determined race the same freedom, the same liberty that, by the will of Almighty God and our forefathers, we ourselves enjoy.”
