We Will Help You to Save Safely jflrttbrr S&atoinjs ant) Artist Company STREETS TO BE SMOOTHED BY NEW PROCESS City Department, After Patching, to Eliminate Rolls From Pavements. Asphalt repair gangs of the city street department will have covered practically all of the improved streets within the next ten days, providing weather conditions remain good, A. O. Meloy, stcttet commissioner, announced today. Repairing has been under way since March 13. Two gangs of approximately twenty-five men each have been on duty. With the first round of patching finished the repair men will do emergency work most of the time until cold weather sets in, Mr. Meloy stated. Elimination of rolls in asphalt pavement will tea new line of repairing to be taken up. The two Lutz surface heaters, which the city has rented from the Equitable Asphalt Maintenance Company of Kansas City, will he used for this. The heaters •crape the high part of the roll Into the depression and after heating the entire space to be repaired roU anew, smooth surface into it. Elimination of rolls, however slight, will prolong the life of asphalt pavements, it is believed. In order to get Its money's worth out cf the heaters at least 20.000 square yards of pavement will have to be treated this year, since the city guarantees the owners a minimum rental of SSOO per twelve months on each machine. Payment is at the rate of five cents per square yard. The contract with the owners also permits the city to sublet the apparatus to private contractors for street resurfacing jobs. They can be used in laying asphalt surfaces over old pavements and the board of public works plans to receive bids upon such treatment of several highways. Although the equipme.it has been in the city's hands for several weeks it has not yet been used. The rent must be paid whether the machines are worked or not. U. S, FORCES TO QUIT GERMANY Peace Resolution and Short Appropriations Mean Withdrawal, Says Anthony. WASHINGTON, July s.—American forces in Germany will be withdrawn within the next few weeks as the result of the final enactment of the peace resolution. Representative Anthony, Kansas, in charge of Army appropriations in the House, said today. He declared that apprjtriatinns in the Army for the current G*il year nr-' •> limited that the War department wit! be forced to return the troops within a month ox violate the Rorah amendment to the Army appropriation bill, which prohibits the incurring of any deficiencies. •‘Now that the peace resolution is passed, the troops should be withdrawn at the earliest possible date." said Anthony. “They have been a big burden on the American taxpayers, although the understanding was that Germany was to pay all expenses. The cost of the army of occupation has been about two hundred and seventy-five million dollars. Germany has paid about thirty million dollars, according to my Information, and the balance has cone out of the treasury. Germany, of course, will readily agree to the withdrawal of the troops.”

1,500 SEEK JOBS WITH THE CITY Street Department Pay Brings Many Applications. Fifteen hundred men are on the waiting list for jobs in the city street department, Street Commissioner A. O. Mcioy. announced today. There are only 250 jobs in the department and all of them are filled. The applications for places on the city pay roll probably are more numerous, considering the number of places. than In any private business because the city pays 50 cents per hour to laborers. This figure Is from 10 to lo cents higher than the scale of private institutions. A city ordinance fixes the scale and the city council has not taken action upon an amendment reducing the wage to 40 and 45 cents, introduced a month ago.

July 5.-The first load of new wheat to be marketed in Hamilton County was brought to the elevator from the farm of Horace Brown, Republican nominee for mayor of Noblesville. It tested fifty-three pounds to the bushel and was worth !>4 cents a bushel. The quality was considered poor cn account of there being so many shriveled grains.

INDIANAPOLIS LIKES SANE ‘4TH’ WITH SPEECHES 20,000 People Visit Fairground for Observance of Day With Legion. BIG FIREWORKS DISPLAY Indianapolis awoke today to reflect that she spent the Fourth of July practically without firecrackers and ye bad a very enjoyable time of It. The city found out that the new way of celebrating the Nation's birth could be made just as interesting as the old “slam bang method. Speeches, athletic events, vaudeville stunts of skill and daring, a parade and a night fireworks exhibit, so safeguarded that there were none of the dangers of the private manipulation of explosives, took the place of noise. Officials of the Marlon County council of the American Legion estimated that 20.000 people were at the eelebratiou at the State fairground Monday afternoon, and around 15.000 in the evening. Automobiles were parked to the limit of the space allowed inside of the grounds and overflowed for many blocks in neighboring streets. Street ear service had to be increased by running cars over the Illinois and Central lines as well as College avenue to handle the crowds. Hundreds came from neighboring towns ami cities by iuterurban, railroad and automobile. HR>T APPEARANCE OF LEGION BAND. The program was opened at the fairground at 1:30 o'clock with a concert my the American Legion band under the direction of Frank Delator?. The band, which has been organized only a few weeks, made a very favorable impression. Its first public appearance was in the parade over downtown streets in the morning. Not a single serious accident occured during the celebration. Ample provisions to care for injured were made but the first aid station, manned by cx-Army doctors. nurses and hospital men had practically nothing to do. The only hiteh in the entire program came when ex-Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee. who had been billed as one of the principal speakers, failed to appear. John la Reynolds, chairman of the speak er's committee, was assured by the statesman in a long distance telephone call from his home at Nashville, Tenn., last Friday that a telegram stating whether or not he would lie here would be sent Saturday. Neither the telegram nor the speaker arrived.

However, the patriotic program was not seriously abbreviated either in length nor quality by the ex-Senator's nbsence. Fnited States District Attorney Frederick Van Nuys presided and opened the affair. which was held in the Coliseum, by reading the Declaration of Independence Admiral Robert K Coontz. ranking officer of the Fnited States Navy, and Col. Alvin M. Owsley of Texas of the national Americanization commission of the American Legion, gave the important addresses. UOONTZ I RAISES STATE'S WAR RECORD. "Indianapolis, the great center of and headquarters f--r so many of our societies and institutions, such as the Grand Army of the Republic and the American Legion, and others too numerous to mention, must be in a sense one of the leading barometers of thought and conditions in the United States." said Admiral Coontz He said that tie Nation experts mueh of Indiana in patriotic lines and praised the State's war reeord. Stating the State has done Its part in the past, the admiral declared he is giad to hear that it is proposed to erect a great memorial in Indianapolis . Regret at the passing of the men of the G. A. R was expressed. “You have provided statesmen, presidents. senators and men whose names wilt go down as among the country's 'eadcrs> and it behooves you in this great and glorious Middle West, by your ac tions. to take the lead iD maintaining our ancient heritage and keeping alive and before the coming generations the glories of our common country.” Colonel Owsley declared that “America’s lovaltv to world standards depends upon the loyalty of her people We as Americans have first to retnemher that there is a place for hut one kind of loyalty and that is undivided loyalty to America.” He discussed the Americanism program of the Ameri- an Legion. Just before the dinner hour in the evening “Daredevil" Chandler, an Indianapolis balloonist, made a successful 5 000 foot parachute leap from a hot gas bag. Community singing, led by Frank C. Huston, anil a number of vaudeville stunts in /rent of the grand stand preceded the fireworks exhibition in the evening. The feature of the pyrotechnic display was a miniature reproduction of the battle of Jutland. Judge Arthur It. Hobir.son was toast mast-r at the luncheon gl-en at the Clay-pool Hotel at noon liy the Service Club and the Military Order of Foreign Wars. Admiral Coontz. Colonel Owsley, Maj. Gen. George W.

ROADS WANT U. S. TO PAY BILLION Question of Efficiency of War Labor Arises. WASHINGTON July s—Upon the question of efficiency or nonefflelcncy of war-time railroad labor today depended settlement of $1,250,000,000 worth of claims filed by the railroads against the Government. Attorneys for the railroad* now appearing before Kail Director Davis contend that the railroad administration should hare spent 51.250.000,000 more than it did during Federal control on maintenance of property and rights-of-way. The money actually spent by the Government was insufficient to keep the roads in good condition bpcause of the inefficiency of workers employed, the rail lawyers contend. Attorneys for the railroad admlnistra tion are fightlrg the claim on the ground that war tin e labor was more efficient than peace-t.me labor. Kail Direc;rr Davis believes the claim can be settled at from 40 to 60 per cent of the amount demanded. This would make the Government liable for from $500,000,000 to $750,000,000. Mayor Apologizes for Flag Incident HAMILTON, Ontarto, July s.—Jose D.

LOCAL SCHOOLS VISITED BY TAX COMMISSIONERS Inspection Made to Determine Need for New Buildings in Four Wards. PUBLIC HEARING JULY 6 Members of the State board of tax commissioners visited public schools Nos. 18, 36, 38 and 62 this afternoon in order to see for themselves just how badly the *847,000 bond Issue, proposed by the Indianapolis board of school commissioners for additions and improvements at these schools is needed. The members of both boards, together with lawyers and representatives of the ten members of the Taxpayers’ League of Indiana, who are opposing the bond issue, made the trip. The party left the offices of the school board. Meridian and Ohio streets, at 4 o’clock, and when the trip ended the members of the State tax board were well prepared with information for the big public hearing which will be held Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock in the House of Representatives In the Statehouse. The hearing will he the second on the remonstrance filed t y members of the Taxpayers’ League, the first haring been held last Thursday afternoon. The first session brought out that the remonstrators do not question the necessity of the proposed improvements so much as they do the method by which the money is being spent. Their fight teas concentrated almost wholly on the contracts between the board of school commissioners and the firm of Snider A Rotz and L. A. Snider, a member of the firm. By the terms of these contracts, Mr. Snider Is emploved as building advisor of the board, while his firm holds a contract to act as engineers. The day following the first hearing the State board of accounts came out wlta a public statement denouncing the two contracts and holding them illegal Li. S. Lesh. attorney general of Indians, previously had given on opinion to the State board of accounts in which he made a similar finding. The S'ate board of accounts recommended that suit tie brought to recover payments already made on the contracts an 1 to forbid any further payments. just what effect this action will have on the proposed bond issue has been a matter of considerable speculation. Persons favorable to the bond issue say that it tll be proper, in view of the recommendation of the State hoard of accounts, for the State tax board to approve the bond issue and len\e the legal entanglements to the other board. HOPE CONTRACTS WILL CAUSE DELAY. Opponents of the blind issue, on the other hand, say that they do rot believe the State tax board will approve the issue until the entire mat'er of toe Snider '& Rotz contracts ius been thrashed out and definitely s-ttled It has been estimated that Snider A Kotz and Mr. Snider as an Individual will get approximately *IB,OOO as foes out of the construction covered by the proposed $847,0<X) expenditure. Parents of children attending the four schools are up In arms over tlio matter and are insisting that their children be safely housed in sanitary, safe buildings regardless of any quibbling* over the legal status of the building adviser and engineers of the hoard They do not feel that the entire building program of the school board Should be held up pending the settlement of a matter that may drag Its weary way through courts for soverul years. PARENTS DEMAND NEW BUILDINGS. Thes*% parents and citizen* of the neighborhoods In which the s-hoots are located. insist that It would he very easy for the State tax board to approve the bond issue with the proviso that payment of all amount* due Snider A Rotz and Snider be held up until the dispute is settled. The four schools affected hv the bond Issue ar-; No 18. Bloomington and Market streets; No. 38, Capitol avenue. Twenty Eighth street nnd Kenwood avenue: No 38, Winter and Bloyd avenues; No. 62, Wallace and Tenth streets. The erection of additions and remodeling of the ol<i buildings is proposed for each school. At each the need of the work is urgent Last November the board of school commissioners picked out twelve schools where the needs for new buildings were the greatest, and out of these twelve selected the four schools in the above list as being the ones most In need of immediate attention.
