THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
RIPPLE CITIZENS CONSIDER THEIR SCHOOESBETTER Delegates Tell Board They Don’t Want Children Trans- ’ ferred to City Buildings. Housing conditions in the Washington township grade and high school at Broad Ripple are so superior to those in the Indianapolis schools that residents of the newly annexed section are unwilling to have their children transferred to the city schools. This fact was made very plain to the board of school commissioners by a delegation of residents of Broad Ripple last night. “Under present conditions you have nothing to ’ offer us,” Mrs. W. C. Carter said. “The nearest Indianapolis school is No. 70 at Central Ave. and Forty-Sixth St. That school already is crowded that it is necessary to use the auditorium of the Meridian Heights Presbyterian Church. Park Ave. and FortySeventh St., for class rooms. What would happen if we sent our 300 grade school children from Broad Ripple to add to the number already at No. 70?” “Our children now are attending school all day in a good building with plenty of room,” another woman said. “Do you think we want tc send them to crowded schools, portables and half-day sessions in Indianapolis?” Wants Information The delegation, which was headed by J. H. Mohr, wanted to know Just what would be done to meet conditions arising out of the annexation of Broad Ripple. The annexation ordinance failed to take in the school buildings, which are in Washington Township, with the result that about 350 grade and high school pupils have been added to the school population of Indianapolis without additional school facilities. The matter was referred to the instruction committee. It was suggested that the school city of Indianapolis transfer the Broad Ripple children to the Washington Township schools. This would cost the school board about $l4B for each high school pupil and about $75 for each grade school pupil. SKULLS ARE FRACTURED Two Goshen Men Are Injured in Accidents.
