BORAII URGES REAL ISSUE BE KEPT W VIEW Says World Peace Will Not Come if Disarmament Question Is Subordinated. RELIEF VIEWS SET OUT Special to Indiana Daily Time* and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—The ending el war and the attainment of world peace can never be act niplished If the question of disarmament is subordinated to the Internationa; disputes. The controlling, dominating note of the coming Washington conference must be disarmament or the meeting will result in failure to bring the relief all nat'ons are seeking from the present oppressive ecorornic conditions. For the Uni’eU States, Great Britain and Japan to delay discussions limitations of armament or make them Incici-ut to the adjustment of Tarious international questions would deliberately to overlook the vital problem in the w rid today. These are the views of Senator Borah as set forth In an article in the current iasue of “Nations Business," which is intended at once ae sn argument in behalf of hjs well-known plan of immediate naval' disarmament and a warning against the prevailing tendency to open the conferee ■ to all questions. CUT ARMAMENT EXPEND IT I'RES NOW. “We cannot wr't, and neither need we wait," says Senator Borah, “un’ll all questions about which nations may hold differing views are settled before we begin to limit our armament expenditures. There are now three nations in absolute j dominance of the seas—the United States, ] Great Britain and Japan. These three j nations are the only nations which are building vast navies They are now ae- , tuolly engaged in a naval race. They *re building navies with-mad speed and j piling taxes upon the people at a rate and to sn amount never before dreamed of in time of peace and seldom in time of war. To say that these building pro j grains shall go forward, that these taxes •hall continue to be increased and the burdens under which the people are i breaking shall be augmented and until all international questions about which nations and peoples may hold different views are settled. •“That Is to say there Is to be no dlsMteament. "Disarmament should not be postponed, or subordinated or made incident to the settling and adjusting of all international questions. It should be made the controlling, dominating question. it is the most vital problem In the world today. Unless disarmament Is effectuated, , there Is no possible relief from th* economic conditions under which we are now suffering, and any plan, or any pro- j gram, which makes the questiot. of disarmament, a subordinate, or indcldentai proposition, ra*ber than the mail and controlling proposition, will result in the future, as it has In the past, in no relief , to the tax-payers and no relief from war. “There are many obstacles to overcome i before we can achieve dlt rmament, or any pronounced limitation oi armaments. I do not underestimate the difficulty of overcoming these obstacles, but the obstacle which setma to me th greatest, , the obstacle which seems to me the most , t difjcnlt to master, is one which we will not admit exists, and that is the reliance which we have C"m> to have on i force as the only power left on earth with which to govern men. ' "I understand fully that there msy be circumstances and conditions in which an appeal to force is not only necessary but righteous. But to defy force, to mate It the dominating factor, to have it ever present, to sit at conference with your finger pointing back over your •boulder to your armies and navies, to Intrude Into every settlement, and to | announce to the world that it is yourj ultimate reliance, is barbaric—and it Is none the lest barbaric —wheu it is prac- . ticed by professedly Christian nations For myself I refuse to concede that force Is the only power left, or that It should be the dominating and controlling power. It can not be possible.” Ultimate German domination of Ennpe as the remit of the "shortsighted and blundering*' policy of the allied and associated powers In annnments competition it predicted by Senator Borah. The United States, at her present rate of ex- j penditure on Army and Nary* will pay more for armaments thnn will the Ger- j mang in liquidating their thirty-thre billions in reparations claims. GERMANY’S DEFE.IT HER RELIEF FROM ARMAMENTS. “Defeat for Germany.” continues Senator Borah, “has lifted the burden ot armaments from the backs of her people ■ They now may devote their energies and ' their talents to agriculture. Industry, to the arts and the things that constitute the real wealth and strength of a people On the other hand the allied and associated powers are carrying a vast burden because of their armies and navies. Hundreds of thousands of people are engaged in Uses which produce nothing. “It is true that Germany has a vast debt to pay on her reparations. But this debt is not larger than our own expenditures will be created from year to year for armaments. "Let ns take the figures: “Qarmany Is expected to pay an annuity of $500,000,003 plus 2fl per cent of the actnai value of her exports. As matters now stand the German foreign trade would make this export charge amount to about $260,000,000 which would make hr annual payment about $760,000,003. We will assume, however, that her exports will Increase, o that at the end of forty years It Is estimated that Germany will have paid $33 000 000,000. “Look at our expenditures for our military and naval establishments. We expended for military and navel purposes fr- m June 30, 1920, to June 30, 1021, 1825,337,939. The Army and Navy bills just passed will Incur sn expenditure of Sot less than $&30,030 000—perhaps more. This would equal in forty years a little over $33,000,000,000. So we shall pay for our Army and our Navy at the present rate an amount equal to the vast reparation bill which has been assessed against Germany. “France has an army of 500,000 men. The exact cost for maintaining this great army I do not know, but one can Imagine how stupendous It is. "The British army and navy combined call for an expenditure much larger than our own. Thus, while Germany has her billions of reparation, the allied and associated powers are spending their kjlliont for their armies and j navi**- we alone are expending as much for oor army and navy as the entire reparation claims agsintt Germany. “Tas business men of th ; s country must realise, more keenly, perhaps than any one e’se jest now, what these armament expenditures and the taxes thereby imposed mean to business of the future. There is little encouragement for men of business capacity to plan and strive for success when they realize, as they meat, that their profits are to be taken for taxes, and that these taxes, when collected, are to be expended, r. t for thlncs which make for wealth and development, bnt for sheer wa*“e and sterility. We shall not enjov that resiliency and revival In business which we are entitled to experience in this j country until taxes are brought within ; reason. And taxes cannot be reduced until expenditures are brought within rea ; son And public expendtiures cannot be reduced until outlay* for armaments are brought within reason."—Copyright, 1921, by the Public Ledger Company.

IRISH TO VOTE ON AGREEMENT WITH ENGLAND (Continued From Pare One.) the calamity of intensified warfare in Ireland." Glasgow Herald: “The sane elements of the Sinn Fein parliament (which will meet in Dublin tomorrow) will have to reckon with reason in Ireland and the sentiment of the whole civilized world.” Manchester Guardian: “Today the choice is with Ireland. All her best friends pray she will not close the door to peace.” M rnlng Post: “The government proffered Its surrender, which was flung bark into its face. What does Premier Lloyd George propose to do next?” Daily Mail: “The premier's firm answer has the whole sympathy of the country. The principal self determination. v.nick is admitted in the case of southern Ireland, cannot be denied to Ireland.” LLOYD GEORGE’S OFFER REVEALED The British proposals, dated July 20, said: “The British government is actuated by an earnest desire to end the unhappy divisions between Great Britain and Ireland. which have produced so many conflicts In the past and which have once more shattered the peace and well-being of Ireland. “At the present time they long with His Majesty, the King, in the word* of his speeca in Ireland last month, for a satisfactory solution of ‘those age-long Irish problems which for generations embarrassed our forefathers as they, now weigh heavily upon us,’ and they wish to do their utmost to obtain peace. v. “They are convinced that the Irish people may find as worthy and complete an expression of their political and spiritual Ideals within the empire as any of the numerous and varied nations united in allegiance to His Majesty's throne, and they desire such consummation not only for the welfare of Great Britain and Ireland and the empire as a whole, but also for the cause of peace and harmony throughout the world. IRISH TROUBLES ARE RECALLED. “There is not a part of the world where Irishmen have made their homos but suffers from our ancient fcuJs. No part of It but looks to this meeting between the British government and Irish leaders to resolve these feuds In anew understanding, honorable and satisfactory to ail Involved. “The free nations which compose the British Empire are drawn from many races with different histories, traditions and Ideals. In the Dominion of Canada the British and French have long forgotten the bllte" conflicts which divided their ancestors. In South Africa the Transvaal republic and the Orange Free State have Joined with two, British coionics to make a great, self-governing anion, unde* his majesty’s sway. “The British people cannot believe that where Canada and Sou’h Africa, with equal or even greater difficulties, have succeeded so signally, Ireland will fail, Hnd they are determined thit so far as they themselves can assure it nothing shall hinder Irish statesmen from Joining together to build up an Irish state in free and willing cooperation with other peoples of the empire. THEN PROPOSES DOMINION STATUS. “Mbved by considerations, the British government Invites Ireland to rake her place In the great associations of free nation* over which Hi* Majesty reigns. A# an earnest of his desire to obligate old quarrels and to enable Ireland to face the future with her own strength and hope, they propose that Ireland shall assume forthwith the status of a dominion, with all the powers and privileges set forth In this document. “By the adoption of dominion status, It is understood that Ireland shall enjoy complete autonomy in taxation and finance; that she shall maintain her own military forces for home defense; her own eonstabularly and her owr police: that she shall take over the Inali postal service and all matters relating thereto; education, land, agriculture, mines and miners' forestry, housing, labor, un employment, Iran* port, trade, public health, health Insurance and liquor traffic, and in sum, that she shall exercise all those powers and privileges upon which the autonomy of self-gov-, erning dominions is based, subject to the considerations set forth In tho ensuing paragraphs. •'Guaranteed in these liberties, which no foreign people can challenge without challenging the empire as a whole, the

dominions hold each and severally by virtue of their British fellowship a standing amongst the nations equivalent not merely to their Individual strength, but to the combined power ane! 1 fluence of all the nations of the commonwealth. EXPF. T .CCEPTANCY RY THE KISH. , “That guarantee, that fellowship, that freedom, the whole empire looks to Ireland to B-cept.” Tuen f.Uow six stipulations. The first says that the common concern of both countries in the defense of their interest* on land and sea shall b 4 recognized. “Great Britain,” it adds, “lives by the sea: her fond and her communications depend on the freedom of the great sea routes. Ireland lies at Britain’s side, across the seaways, north and south, that link her with the sister nations of the empire. t v e markets f the world and the vital sources of her food supply. “In recognition of this fact, which nature hns imposed -.nd which no state** mnnship can change, It is essential that the royal navy alone should control the seas around Ireland and Great Britain, and that such rights and liberties should b<* accorded It by the Irish state as are essential for naval purposes in Irish harbors and on Irish const*.” The second stipulation says: “In orJer that the movement toward limitation of armaments, which Is now making progress in the world, should not be hampered in any way, * the Irish territorial force shell within reasonable limits conform in numbers to the mill tory establishments In other parts of the islands.” COMPLIMENT PAID TO IRISH SOLDIERS. In the third stipulation It is declared that Great Britain shall have all the neces'ary facilities for the development of air defense and communications. The fourth expresses the hope that Ireland will, of her own free will, contribute !n proportion to her wealth to the naval and military forces of the empire, and assumes that voluntary recruiting will bo permitted, "particularly for those famous Irish regiments which so long and so gallantly have served Ills Majesty iu all parts of the world.” Complete autonomy in finance and taxation, with the agreement that there shall be no tariffs and other trade restriction's between the two islands, is provided In the fifth stipulation. The sixth declares that Ireland Is to assume responsibility for a share of the United Kingdom’s present debt and pensions. In default of an agreement, the ahare would be determined by an arbitrator appointed from within the dominion. The document proposes that the conditions of settlement be embodied in the form of a treaty, to which effect shall be given by the British and Irish Parliaments. “The form in which the settlement Is to take effect,” it adds, “wiil depend upon Ireland herself. It must allow for full recognition of* the existing powers and privileges of the Parliament and government of Northern Ireland. "The British government entertains the earnest hope that the necessity of harmonious co-operation among Irishmen of all classes and creeds will bo recognized throughout Ireland, and will welcome tho day when by these means unity is achieved. But no uch common action can be obtained by force.” DUBLIN HOPES FOR CONFERENCE DUBLIN, Aug. 15.—Sin Fein newspapers today indicated their hope that peace negotiations with Great Britain will not-be broken off as a result of “President” ile Valera’s Insistence on complete separation. Ulster newspapers were Inclined to criticise the British government's answer to that demand as too liberal. "The correspondence will cause plain amazement,” said the Northern Whig Belfast. “We have no hesitation in saying that the government's terms If given eh et, would cause the disdntegrntion of the empire. We refuse to believe the British people will be foolish enough to ratify such proposals.” •“he Irish News, arso of Belfast, declared parliament should have had an opportunity to pass on the government’s proposals befor" they were made. In Dublin the comment cent, red on the h e that negotiations will continue. "The prospect of returning to intensified warfare after a short period of peace is appalling," the Dublin Independent declared. CRAIG CALLED TO CABINET MEETING BELFAST, Aug. 16.—Sir James Craig. hd of the Unionist government ot Ulster, was sammoned home today from

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 1921.

' his holiday to preside at a meeting of the cabinet to consider the new turn in the Irish pc'- situation. The opinion was advanced ir official circles that the terms offered by Lloyd George offer a safeguard for North Ireland. SINN FEINERS HOLD MEETING DUBLIN, Aug. 13.—The Sinn Fein parliament held a private session here today with ’ President" de Valera preeldlng. The meeting was called suddenly and without publicity. The public meeting will be held tomorrow as scheduled and | probably veill last about three hours. I Nothing of real Importance will be die- • cussed while the meeting 1* open to 1 the public, but later In the afiernoon I when the doors are closed and spectator* ■are excluded the real business will be 1 taken up. The private deliberations of the parliament probably will last till Thursday and a formal communique Is expected Friday. An officer of the Irish Republican army upon being asked if the armed Sinn Kein forces would renew hosti le* if the peace negotiations broke down replied: “If the peace negotiations collapse we will not resume warfare against the British unless we are attacked. It never was ofcr policy to wage a war of aggression. We never attacked until we were attacked first." TAX REVISION UP TO G. O. P. OF THE HOUSE (Continued From Tage One.) bera of Republicans to defeat the repeal of the excess profits tax. They have already Indicated their battlo cry is to be the proposed revision of the revenue laws will relieve the rich, but not the I poor. Republican member* of the Ways and Meant Committee, however have | satisfied themselves the relief proposed I hns been equally distributed. They point. I out that while the excess profits and higher surtaxes are repealed by tho revenue bill, in their place is substituted I of 5 per cent on the flat tax on corporations. Although the difference represents a \ loss estimated at around $180,000,000, a reduction in the taxes paid essentially by [ persons of larger Incomes, they point out j that the Ways and Means Committee j haa agreed to repeal the transportation ! taxes yielding around $300,000,000, the ; "nuisance taxes” and, more particularly | increased the exemptions In the normal | Income tax for the special relief of ! persons of small salaries. In all they l regard the completed revenue revision as embodying an equitable lifting and not : r shifting of the tax burden. Upon such a course representative Mondell of Wyoming, Republican leader repeatedly has Insisted. ■While decrying any partisanship on their part, Democrats will attempt, as they have already Indicated in earlier debates, to hold Republican responsible for partisan effort in framing the new revenue law. They will base their charge on the fact that Republicans excluded Democrats from meetings of the Waye and Means Committee in which the actual work of revenue revision was done.

PORTABLE HOUSE BUY IS HELD UP Sunnyside Flans Delayed for Lack of State Approval. The Marlon County commissioners probably will be unable to awnrd a contract, as planned for tomorrow, for the purchase of two portable houses for Sunnyside because the State board of accounts will not approve of the contract unless certain conditions are carried out. County Auditor Leo K. Feeler asked Jeso E. Eschbach, chief examiner of the State board of accounts, to approve of the purchasing of two portable houses for the use by tubercular ex-servloe men at Sunnyside without advertislmr tho required length of time. The commissioners contend It is necessary to make the purchase before the bad weather begins. Mr. Eschbach, in a letter received by Mr. Fesler, stated that tbo board would have no objection If the commissioners w6uld advertise for bids In one paper, prepare specifications and plans and ask numerous concerns to bid. Mr. Fesler said he would confer again with Mr. Eschbach before taking notion. The plan suggested by Mr. Eschbach would delay the project from two to three weeks. It la said.

BRITONS AWAIT INVITATION TO DISARM PARLEY Newspapers Silent as Results of Preliminary Conferences Are Made Public. LABOR ATTACKS MEET LONDON, Aug. 13.—Although Washington cablegrams said President Harding's formal invitation to me amea powers to attend the ritr east am! disarmament conference had been despatched last Thursday, it was anno’ need et the foreign office today Great Britain’s copy has not been received. The London Times understands preliminary conversations are now in progress, and that if tbo-se fail the Washington conference can, t succeed. The text of President Harding's formal invitation, was carried by press dispatches here Friday bnt since then only two newspapers have commented editorially. The Dally Herald, organ of the British labor party, attacked the conference, and the Times guardedly praised it. NEWSPAPERS ARE KEEPING SILENT. The newspapers are making no attempt to interpret the governments attitude and such cautious editorial restraint has not been r sibl here sin- e the debt cancellation row. The editorial pages of the Sunday papers, whtcb are more purely political Journals than the dallies, were unanlmoualy uilent. Not a single reference was made to the Harding invitation during the question time In the House. To an American observer It appears that officialdom, with the failure of the supreme council meeting fresh In mind, lias adopted a policy of “super caution” In approaching this new enigma of an International conference. THE NATION WELCOMES PARLEY. It is plainly evident, however, that Great Britain welcomes the conference and Premier Lloyd Geotge has already given pledges that this country will parUctpate. Considerable mystery ht s developed about the “lost’’ Invitation. On Saturday It was stated at the (foreign office that the document had not arrived. This morning before the business of the foreign office was fully under way, officials said "they presumed it had arrived l>y this time,” but early in the afternoon it was announced that the invitation had not yet come to hand. Despite the absence of the invitation, there is considerable discussion In isml 1 official circles regarding the personnel of the British delegation. It is consldered now that Premier Lloyd Georgs eannot go. The most likely members are A. J Balfour and Marquis Curon, British foreign secretary. A. Bouar I.aw msy attend if hi* health permits.

DIVORCEE AND PAL APPEAR IN COURT TODAY (Continued From Par* One.) other. Neither spoke for *eversl moments. Then the two walked together to another room where they talked earnestly for half an hour. The meetinif between Obenehaln and his divorced wife was less spertacuisr, yet too simplicity of their reunion enhanced the dramatic element of th# situation. The kindly Jailer who could not refuse Rer. Burch permission to se* his son was more obdurate with Obenehaln. After on honr and a half, however, Obenehaln was admitted to the Jail. The Chicago attorney and hi* former wife clasped t "ids and greeted each other with a i >k of understanding. There was no noticeable show of emotion. For two hours Obenehaln sir alone with hi* ex-wife. Obenehaln frwly discussed •he conference. “1 didn't spend two hour* or more dismissing tho ease altogether." he sshl. “We met merely as old friends and pals, which we have always been. I tried to make our conference a friendly talk between old friends and that is what it was. "Mrs. Obeflehain didn't chance her tory in the least. What *he told mo is exactly what she told the district attorney." Both Rev. Burch and Obenehaln, after the interview* stated once more their undaunted belief In the innocence of Arthur Burch and Madalynne Obenehaln. "He's my boy and I know him better than any one else knows him,” Rev. Burch said, "ne's been my chum, my pal for all the years that have passed since he wan big enough to walk. It matters not to me what the circumstances are. it would make no difference If the whole world declared my boy guilty. I know him and I know he is not guilty.” BURCH CARRIED GUN CASE? CHICAGO, Aug. 15.—Corroboration of the statement made Saturday by formej Justice of the Peace Harry M. Bartlett to the effect that Arthur C. Burch, indicted In the slaying of John Belton Kennedy in Los Angolas, carried a leather case—ostensibly a gun case—when he left Chicago, was ob’ained today from two Northwestern University students, Don McElwaln and E. E. Wilton. Although the students could not say certainly that tho case carried by Burch contained a gun they said they remembered distinctly that he had a case that might have been a gun ca.se or a violin case. Proof that the indicted man left Chicago with a gun would be a valuable clew, officials say, indicating premeditated murder. NEW TASTOK SELECTED. The selection of the Rev. V, D. Moricz, Ph. D„ as pastor of the Indiana Hungarian Calvanistic Protestant Church of Indianapolis has been announced by Frank Fulop, chairman of the board of trustees of the church. The new pastor is the organizer of the largest Hungarian Protestant Church in America at Uniontown, PA. lie is a graduate of Budapest University, Hungary. The Rev.

CITIZENS PLAN COUNCIL ACTION IN TRACK WORK To Visit City Dads and Demand Speed in Project— Ire Is Up. T \ Four civic organ iations from the south side will swoop down upon the city council tonight to further the cause of elevation of the Belt Railroad tracks from Prospect street to the Bluff road. The delegation will be composed of members of the Belt Elevation League of j the south side, the Southeastern Improve- { ment Association, the Original South Side 1 Women’s Club and th > South Side Repub- > lican League. Those from the Belt elevation and southeastern organization* niso j are coming prepared to voice resentment j because Mayor Charles W. Jewett has j not signed the anti-lumping ordinance, pushed through tho council by the south j aiders, who desire to see Pleasant Run 1 and Boan Creek cleaned up The mayor explained a few day, ago that he was refusing to approve the ordinance because it did not exempt manufacturing establishments from thf' probation , against dumping trade wastes into i streams until such time as the factories : may make other arrangements. It is un- ' dorstood he will send it back to the conn- j cil for correction. A petition for the levation of tlie Belt ' Railroad tracks through the south side ! was presented to the board of public j works Dec. 3. it bore more than 10,000 signature* The board received it and assured the delegation of fifty which brought it that wi;q it favored the improvement the financial condition of the railroads was such that the work could not be started at once. The delegation went away with the understanding that j the board would take up the petition at some future time. No assurance that this would be within a year or two was given. TO ASK COUNCIL FTR SPEED. It is understood the organizations will confer with the council this evening iu the hope the legislators may hasten action on the petition. The south aiders remember they get fust action on he | movement to clean up Pleaaaot Run and Bean Creek after they laid the facts be- j lore the council and they entertain the j hope that the council can spur city de- : partrnents Involved in the track elevation | work. The antl-opcn rault ordinance sponsored by the city health department Is expected to be Introduced tonight. The ordinance amends the old vault measure which permits auch places when j not located within 100 feet of water mains j and sewers. The imendmetn makek it unlawful to keep an open vaqlt of the j old-fashioned type unless It Is maintained as a regulation, sanitary flush toilet in j case sewers and water are accessible and * unless it is equipped with a septic tank j in case sewers and water are accessible, j The health department is given power to declare illegal vaults nuisances and abate, them. Under the present ordinance the j penalty ia not more than SIOO and costs, j The amendment adds “nlneiy days' iui-| prisomnent or both.” APPROPRIATION NOT TO COME UP. The annua! appropriation and tax levy ordinances will not be introduced this evening. <”ity Controller Robert 11. Bryeon ild. Delay in receipt of the estimated assessed valuation of property from County Auditor Leo K. Feeler is responsible, he wild. The finance measure* probably will not b Introduced until late this week, when a special meeting of the council will be called. Funds for track elevation w ill be ; raised by a direct taxe levy of 3 cents, a* heretofore, excepting in case the cost of the city's share runs over the proceeds of 8 cents, when bonds will be is sued for the surplus, it was announced, following a meeting of the controller with the board of public works, gad ‘Cor porntion Counsel Samuel Ashby. Mr. • Bryson stated last week that he favored ; issuing bonds for the entire tra< k eleva- j tlon expense in case it ran over more thin ! the proceeds of the 3 cents fevy With the track elevation levy remaining j unchanged from this year the total civil j city levy for 1922 is expected to be J around 9214 rente, depending upon fihal ; word as to the estimated valuation. Mr. Bryson said he has been advised infor- j mslly by county officials that the estt mated valuation will be about $5,000,000 i less thnn that of last year, which was j $608,000,000.

RESOLUTIONS FOR 3 STREETS ARE ADOPTED Important Improvements Ordered Over Oojections of Property Owners. Resolutions for three important street Improvements were confirmed over remonstrances objections of property owners by the board of public works today. Resurfacing of Broadway and of College avenue from Twenty First to Twen-ty-Fifth streets and permanent improvement of Rookwood avenue from Maple road to Forty-Third s'leet are the streets affected. A statement by M. L. Clawson, one of the property owners, that bids on street improvements are high because contractors are grafting and a plea for the exclusive use of “natural” asphalt In Indianapolis street work, by Joseph Cooper, cout. actor, recalling the fight of two years ago between th board and the socalled “Trinidad asphalt combine,” figured In the arguments against the Improvements. Mr. Clawson said he favored the Rookwood avenue improvement under normal conditions, but he was everlastingly opposed to it at what he considered tips exorbitant cost estimated by the city c'yil engineer. The estimate upon the highest priced material was SIO.AO per lineal foot. • "You're using preity strong language about the contractors,” interposed President Mark H. Miller of the board when Mr. Clawson referred to the “grafting contractors.” “If you've got some definite facts well be glad to get them, but we do not believe you should make a Statement of that kind unless you are prepared to prove It.” “It is not up to me to find out the exorbitant prices of contractors ” answered Mr. Clawson. "That is what the taxpayers are paying you for." "And that is exactly what we arc trying to do,” countered the board president. “Give us some definite facts.” Mr. Clawson's reply was a comparison of present prices with those of some time ago. ROBISON OPPOSES STREET RESURFACING. E. J. Robison, unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor last May, was one of those who objected to the resurfacing of Broadway. He said one of his reasons for being tn opposition was that he feared his shade trees would be ruined by contractor's equipment. The Broadway delegation contended tiie street did not need resurfacing. Mr. Cooper, who is connected with the Premier Construction Company, told the board he thought it should have closed sper-tfications providing for the use only of "natural" asphalt on street projects. President Miller told him the board never will do that. Two years ago the board, convinced that contractors who used “Trinidad” asphalt, which is a ''natural” n* 'halt, were in a combine to keep prices high in Indianapolis, changed the specifications so as to permit bids on "Mexican ' asphalt, which is an oil product. On this move anew contractor entered the field and took so much business away from those thought by the board to be in the combine that there was a general price decline. Those who opposed the College avenue improvement insisted the street does not need resurfacing. President Miller and Board Member Richard A. Shirley said they had passed over it Sunday and they were convinced resurfacing is needed. PARK DEPARTMENT CONTEMPLATES BOULEI AKD. James H. Lowry, superintendent of parks, told the Rook wood avenue delegation. which was about equally divided for and against the improvement, that the park department contemplated taking over the avenue --from Maple Road to Forty-Third street for use as a part of a boulevard to link the canal boulevard. now under construction, with Maple Rood. The present resolution calls for a thirty-foot roadway. If the boulevard were established a forty-foot roadway would be needed. Mr. Lowry suggested the present resolution be modified to provide for the forty-foot width so that widening would not be necessary after the avenue is taken oTer as a boulevard. This would require waivers fro u the property owners. No decision was reached upon the park superintendent's suggestion but the board of work* indicated it did not regard it favorably. SEVERAL RESOLUTION’S ARE CONFIRMED. Resolutions for the resurfacing of Northwestern avenue from Twenty-First street to a point eighty-eight feet north of Fall Creek boulevard, East Drive, thence to Thirty-Second street, for the permanent improvement of Rankin street from Capitol to Senate avenue, for the permanent improvement of Brooker street from Fifteenth to Sixteenth streets and for the opening of Forty-Third street from Illinois street to Haughey avenue were confirmed. Plans were ordered for the permanent Improvement of Colorado avenue from Washington street to Pleasont Run boulevard. OPEN RUSSIAN CONSULATE.
