FIGURES SHOW JEWETT STREET RECORD AHEAD However, Present Regime Is Behind in Construction of Sidewalks. COMPARISON IS SHOWN While the administration of Mayor Charles W. Jewett will hare broken all records for the new paving and resurfacing of streets by the end of the year, figures compiled by John L. Elliott, senior assistant city civil engineer, also show that the present regime is far behind the previous Democratic administration of Mayor Joseph E. Uell in the matter of sidewalk construction and the grading and graveling of streets. The figures tell the story that the Bell administration paid much more attention to the outlying districts, where property owners are able to pay only for grading and graveling of streets, than has the Jewett administration. The present board of public works has graded and graveled 33,091 square yards of street. This includes the work actually completed and that under contract on t)ec. 1. Against this is the record of the Bell administration, which was 269,242 square yards. SIDEWALK RECORD OF BELL STANDS. The sidewalk construction record of the Bell administration also is far ahead of the Jewett administration. Sidewalks laid up to Dec. 1 and under contract on that date by tbe present regime total 031,767 square feet. The Bell board of works laid 2.017.592 square feet. Despite the high prices the Jewett administration has made a record In street pav(ng and resurfacing, the engineers figures show, t'p to Dec. 1. 27.34 miles or 551.392 square yards of streets were resurfaced in the last four years and 28.67 miles or 407.790 square yards newly paved. The total for the four years resurfaced and under contract on Dee. 1 is 29.73 miles or 551,392 square yards end the total paved and under contract on Dec. 1. 39.91 miles or 596,667 square yards. During the present year alone the board of public works has resurfaced or under contract for resurfacing on Dec. 1 13.24 miles or 243.079 square yards of streets and in the same period has paved or under contract for paving on Dec. 1. 22.85 miles or 352.320 square yards. The total square yardage of streets paved or resurfaced this year or under contract to be on Dec. 1 Is 696,299. Until this year the record was held by the Bell administration in 1915 when 400.543 square yards of street pavement were laid. REPORT SHOWS LAYING OF MAINS. Mr. Elliott’s tabulation shows that 153,029 lineal feet of water mains were ordered by the present board of works in the last four years up to Dec. 1 and that the Indianapolis Water Company had laid 121.39S lineal feet under these orders. In the same period orders were issued to the Citizens Gas Company for 139,894 lineal fPet of gas mains, of which 107,751 lineal feet were laid. To Dec. 1 in the present year 542159 feet of water mains were ordered and 54,274 feet laid, and 35.397 feet of gas mains ordered and 31,400 laid. Negro Given Fine and Days on Tiger Charge William Dixon, negro, 413 Roanoke street, today was found guilty in city court of operating a bind tiger and Special Judge John Robins fined him S2OO and costs and sentenced him to serve sixty days on the Indiana State Farm.

SANITARY BODY DROPS PLAN OF SPECIAL ACTION

Chairman Swift Decides Time Not Propitious for Success.

The board of sanitary commissioners has decided not to seek an amendment to the sanitary bond law from the special session of Legislature, which convenes Dec. 14, Lucius B. Swift, chairman, announced today. The board has been embarrassed for several weeks because there was a question as to its right to sell bonds for the purpose of buying equipment for the garbage and ash collection departments. Mr. Swift said that attorneys to whom the question was re ferred decided yesterday that the board did not have such a right. Several months ago the board purchased eighteen garbage and ash collection trailers, three five-ton tractor trucks and two lighter trucks, the contracts amounting in all to about $50,000. The equipment was delivered and the board tried to sell bonds for payment only to bump into an opinion from attorneys for the company which was about to buy the securities that the sanitary board can sell bonds only for the purpose of constructing and equipping the new sewage disposal plant. An amendment to the law would be necessary to straighten out the tangle, but Mr. Swift indicated that he did not believe the board would have much success in trying to get action in the special session. Since it has been decided definitely that bonds cannot be sold the board will pay for the equipment out of its maintenance fund. Checks for half of the amounts due were to be sent to the companies which furnished the equipment at once, Mr. Swift saicL. The remainder will lie paid whenever the maintenance fund is in such condition thnt it can stand the strain.

Mr. Swift said he did not have exact figures upon the amount in the main- I tenance fund, but thnt there is sufficient i to pay half of the sum due on the equip- I ment and meet current bills until Jan. j 1. It may be necessary to make e tern- | porary loan in anticipation of the June j tax settlement, but Mr. Swift said he j hopes the board, by strict economy, can avoid it. GAS COMPANY TO SELL SECURITIES Permission Granted for $745,000 Worth. The public service commission today authorized the Citizens Gas Company of Indianapolis to sell $745,000 worth of securities at not less than 92 per cent of ; par. In authorizing the sale the com- ' mission set the value of the securities to j be sold at not less than 95 per cent of par. The reduction In the par value was allowed, it wa* said, to give tbo gas company an opportunity to sell the *ecurities to one brokerage firm. In another order the commission authorized the Citizens Gas Company to ; surrender Us franchise. The company | will now operate under the indeterminate j permit. 2 Killed in Auto Crash Special to The Times GARY, Ind., Dec.
