DOESN’T THINK SWIFT KNOWS HIS GARBAGE Head Street Cleaner Answers Charge of Politics. LETTER TO SHANK Asks Where’d Swift Learn to Gather Refuse. **Tt Is amusing how this man Swift, whom the Republican party has taken care of the greater part of his life, hates politics," said John F. Walker, superintendent of street cleaning, in a statement today. He was replying to a statement of Lucius B. Swift, member of the board of sanitary commissioners. Swift hail attacked Walker after the latter wrote a letter to Mayor Shank asserting It was Impossible properly to clean Improved alleys because of the accumulation of garI bage and ashes In them. He laid blame for the accumulation upon the breakdown of the ash and garbage collection departments under the sanitary board. "I have rend the letter of John F. Walker, superintendent of street cleaning, attempting to lay the blame for the condition in his department upon the board of public sanitation,” Bald Swift in his statement. “His department is in bad condition, but it could not be otherwise when its head abandons It, as he did, for weeks to play in the political game.” WALKER’S REPLT TO SWIFT CHARGE. Walker’s statement In reply, follows: "There Is nothing much to be said. Ewlft admits his department Is la bad shape. He. however, passes the buck, by saying It is due to Buchanan and Collins, former superintendents. “I hold no brief for Buchanan or Collins, but the facts are both these men have had more experience than Mr. Bwlft. They were with the Jewett administration before the sanitary toard was organised. They both hare ran the department in the last year in a very satisfactory manner. Mr. Swift, himself, saya out-of-town visitors have told him he had the best collection system In the country. “Both of these men have always been very active In politics. I remember, distinctly, last year they worked very hard for Tom Howe, candidate for mayor, who seat. But since they have decided to cast Ifeeir lot with the new organization they have lost the good graces of Mr. Swift. The truth of the matter la, the sanitary collection system has been alright until a month or so ago, when in order to get rid of Buchanan and Collins, Swift’s man Nolan, general superintendent, de•aoralized the department himself. “Mr. Swift talks about progressive methods. Where did he and Nolan ever gM rtsOuVrtias as garbage collectors? BATS SWIFT ABHORS POLITICS. “This man Swift abhors polltlfs. lie seems to think anyone who takes In politics ought to be shot at sunrise. Weil the women fought for fifty years to get into politics and If the game Isn't too bad for them. I'll stay in awhile. “It Is amusing how tills man Swift, whom the Republican party has taken care of the greater part of his life, hates politics. Does he forget that he Is now holding his nice fat $3,000 a year Job, by virtue of the fact that the Republican party has been In power in this city, and does he realize that Charles W. Jewett, who gave him this Job, owed his election to the untiring efforts of such men as Buchanan and Collins? “In conclusion I wunt to sny to Mr. Ewlft the only complaints we have about the streets are where sanitary trailer trains are made up, or where ash collections are made from the sidewalks, and his men are careless about cleaning up.

Bold Bandits May Banquet on Their Loot Announcement of a Bold Bandits’ banquet are momentarily expected, by police officials, following a night of widely varied operations by thieves in all parts of the city, resulting In the theft, among other things, of cream, Ice cream and chickens. Wedding guests attending the marriage of Miss Grace Harbold, daughter of M. N. Harbold, and Earl Greenland. 1022 North Arsenal avenue, were forced to go without ice cream. While the wedding party was at the church, eight bricks of ice cream were stolen. At about the same hour George Bounsall, Keystone avenue and Thirty-Fourth street, reported the .theft of twenty-one chickens. A little later the police learned that twenty-one bottles of cream had been taken from a milk wagon driven by W. R. Oakley, 2121 Bellefontalne street. Clothing valued at $l2O was taken from the back room of the Pknohue Cigar Company, 21 East Ohio street, during the night. The clothing was the property of Willis P. Jones, 1045 Tark avenue. INDIANAPOLIS IS NEAR TOP IN BUILDING Only Six Cities Throughout United States Ahead, Figures Show. Although Indianapolis Is the twentysecond city In the Nation In population rank, only 6ix cities issued more building permits in April and only ten issued permits for building valued at more than that undertaken In this city last month, the monthly National building survey of the American Contractor, building trade Journal, shows today. The April number of permits Issued was anew high record for Indianapolis and the valuation was within SIOO,OOO of the record. There were I.CD2 permits issued, for building valued at $2,560,389. More than half of the valuation represents residences or apartment buildings, Indicating that Indianapolis, the city of homes, is among the leading cities of the country In the movement to solve the housing shortage. The only cities which Issued more permits than this In April were Los Angeles, 3.983; Baltimore, 1.286; Detroit, 2.340; Greater New York, 4,052; Philadelphia, 2,032 and Milwaukee, 3,248. Thosa which exceed Indianapolis In valuation: Los Angeles, Washington, D. C.. Boston, Minneapolis, New York. Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Milwaukee. The Indianapolis flgura* showed a gain of 67 per cent over April, 1921. when 1,063 permits, valued at 51,327,674, were Issued. Last month showed a substantial Increase over March. In New York City In March there were $101,398.348 worth of permits Issued, as compared with $39,776,473 In April. The trade Journal's survey says this drop unquestionably was due to the expiration of the tax exemption law. and draws a moral that law nffects business and building therefrom.

City Police Will Enforce Tail Light Law, ‘Anyhow *. Insist on Their Own Idea of Rules Under Dispute With State Officers .

Notlee on the part of the police department that It Intends to enforce tho automobile tail light law ns It understands It regardless of any regulations Issued by the Secretary of State and the contention on the part of attorneys and others that the regulations set out by the State official should bo enforced has led in a controversy of considerable proportions. Court action to settle It probably will be sought. The State law provides merely that all automobiles must be equipped with lights. Under this provision the police have been arresting all motorists tvhoso cars, regardless of where they are parked, have not had tail lights burning. On the other hand, the regulations of the secretary of State provide that In cases where a street Is Illuminated sufficiently that a ear may be seen 500 foot a tail light Is not necessury. It was pointed out that this would mean a tall light Is not necessary oil most Indianapolis streets. The regulation Issued by the secretary of State says: “Motor vehicles parked upon or occupying a highway Illuminated to such

I was almost afraid she was going to get me married to Roy and the girls to each other, but finally the applications got by in proper form. And we arc mighty well sa/lstled, all four of us. I waa talking on the phone to Roy a litl while ago and he said he was hnpptfr than I am, but I’U bet he Isn’t. Yon are happy and satisfied, aren't you Maude ?" “I certainly am,” Mrs. Green No. 1, now Mrs. Sanders No. 2, answered. “I may have been Green yesterday, but I am Sanders now."

Glenn, in charge of the traffic department of the police department, said: “There Is one regulation put out by the secretary of Slate. Opposing this Is thn State law. We are going to follow tho law. “We shall continue to follow tho law until a court decides differently. Judge Delbert O. Wilmoth, Judge of tho city court, has made no ruling we should follow tho regulations of tho secretary of State Instead of the law.” Captain Glenn said the police will continue their drive on motorists who do not display tall lights. He said Mayor Shank Is very much Interested In the enforcement campaign and the fire department hns complained it Is hampered by automobiles parked without tail lights. K. C. Elkman, 1010 Hume-Mansur building, an attorney, has become interested In the controversy and said ho would seek a court construction of the law nnd regulations.
