;OUNCILMEN OVERRIDE ONE JEWETT VETO Members Break Trom Mayor’s Dictation aid Provide Crossing Watchmen. BRIGHTWOOD ISSUE UP Independence of the city council of dictation by Mayor Charles W. Jewett was asserted again last night when the body passed an ordinance providing for croßsiflg watchmen at three streets in Brightwood over the mayor's veto. President Russell Willson and Councilman Jacob P. Brown, counted as among the admin Oration members, joined with the four anti-ad-ministration cjuncilmen, Gustav G. fSchmidt, Louis W.

Public Sale Fund May Mess Finances Passage by the city council of an appropriation ordinance Introduced at its meeting last night would farther mess up city finances In case tlie interpretation Attorney William V. Rooker puts upon the State tax lav* is upheld in the courts. The ordinance appropriates $150.15 to the board of public safety “to a fund to be known as the public sale fund," to pay for advertising and auctioneering of the city sale held May 13. There now is no “public sale fund,” so the measure weuld create It. Under the Booker interpretation, made in a ease in Circuit Court wherein It is sought to block Marion County from paying the State board of accounts for examining the books of county officials out of a fund not specifically created for this purpose, the State tax law of .920 makes every fund established in the annual budget an Inviolable trust fund and. does not permit any official or art, of officials to add to or take from any fond so established or create any new fund daring the year the budget is in force. If the Rooker contention is correct the ordinance in question is doubly illegal, in that it not only appropriates money when there is nothing out of which to appropriate it, but also creates an entirely new fund.

ure to sign. The watchmen sre to be stationed by the Big Four Railroad at its crossings over OLaey street, Avondale Place and Sherman Drive. Brightwood residents asked for crossing gates, but were given the watchmen as a compromise by the council, which considered the financial plight of the railroad. SPECIAL MEETING TO CONSIDER SWITCH. President Willson called a special meeting for consideration of an ordinance ratifying a coctract of the Na tional Paper Stock Company with tie board of public works for the establishment of a switch from the Big Fout Railroad across North and Walnut streets, between the canal and Senate avenue, for Wednesday evening. This followed failure to suspend the rules when Councilman Brown voted no, as- . set-tiny that he thought the public works kommlttee. of which he is a member, Bogbt to have a chance to go out and gasped the proposed switch. President Willson instructed the committee to make an investigation before the spectal meeting. Mr. Brown then voted to suspend the rules on two other switch contract ordinances and they > were unanimously passed. They gave Thomas A. Moynahan permission to lay a one 9ide track from the Big Four Railroad to a warehouse at Pratt street and Senate avenue. crossing Pratt street, and another crossing the first alley west of Senate avenue at a point immediately south of Pratt street.

Bynum of the city legal department, David ,E. Matthews of the public aervice Commission engineering staff and James P Tretton. superintendent of the Indianapodis Street Railway Company.

Dunes Park Man Just Abhors the j Plebeian Names President of Commission Regards ‘Smith? ‘Jones’ Insult to Aborigines.

GARY, Ind., June 211—When A. F. Knotts of Gary betakes himself Into that sandy region athwart Gary yclept the Dunes, there rises before him a vision, s The sands become dotted with the wigwams of the aborigines; on the wavelets of the streams dance the birchbark canoes; the papoose gambols on the greensward. He meditates as he walks aud by his side there stalk the ghosts of great sachems and medicine men, who tell him in their own guttural language of the wonders that lie all about him. “There is Na-Qua-Sl-Po,” says one mystic chieftain raising an ethereal arm to point to a creek that bubbles along hard by. “We are walking now in Me-Kun-i Nuh-Na-paw and when we come to the j river we turn Into Ml-Kaw-Now-Bed- | E-Ba. We then puss Wah-Kuh Gelk aud i afterwhiles we come to Mtsh-Saguyo- ! I-Can.” ‘SMITH,” “JONEB," “BROWN,” BAH! And having thus been told tbe romantic Indian names of the dunes’ landmarks, pathways and hillocks, is it any wonder l that Mr. Knotts is aroused at the publication of a map designating those beloved landmarks as “Smith Hill, ' “Jones’ Crest,” and “Brown Creek?” Is it any wonder, considering that Mr. Knotts ts president—first president—of tbe Dunes National Park commission? One would say that it isn't. yt no lesser light than Rand-McNally 5c Cos. la ' publisher of the map. and no esser per- | son than P. 8. Goodman of 1316 East Seventy-Second place, a member of the I Chicago I’ruirle Glut, is the topographlst i and chrUteuer of the landmarks. In j drawing his map he named the sandI piles after members of tbe Prairie Club. Mr. Knotts declares that this is not only a sacrilege against the aborigines, but that the map itself is “incorrect, misleading and distasteful, if not disgusting.” "Wherever the topographic features bore accepted names I left them as they were,” said Mr. Goodman lust night. "Whe;' it bcc-rae necessary to christen them 1 named them in as fair a way as possible.” "Yea, he named them,” said Mr. Knotts, "named them after members of the Pralrio Club. And he didn’t stop there. lie named one place Diaua—not after the Greek goddess, but after ah eccentric Chicago woman with a propensity for bathing and running about on the sands lightly attired, who lived in the dunes for u time. “Why, Just look at these new names! Jensen, Field, Tuttle, Ailinson! Who In the world are they? No doubt they love the dunes as thousands of other do, but why attempt to perpetuate tteir j names. I say It's preposterous." "Some Inaccuracies may have crept] into the work,” says Mr. Goodman. ] f 'but it is as nearly correct as I could i make it working by myself." “1 hope all true lovers of the dunes ] will refuse to recoguize the new names,” concluded Mr. Knotts, who is known in Gary as a historian. "1 hope they Insßt on an appropriate nomenclature. These landmarks should be thoughtfully, reverently, and affectionately named by a committee pt members of i.he historical section.” A copy of the new map is at the Gary public library. Feeling is running high in Gary over It, it is suggestions that the Prairie Club be u-ked to vacate its clubhouse In the dunes are reported to have issued from some indignant ones.
