SCHOOL PROJECT MATEHIftLIZATIOI TEDIOUS PROCESS Getting Results From Building Program Involves Formalities and Red Tape. By BLYTHE HEXD KICKS It Is a long cry from the formulation of a school building program to getting school children out of portables and temporary shacks Into modern. fireproof, sanitary structures. According to Adolph Emhardt. chairman of the buildings and grounds committee of the board of school commissioners, It ptobably will be January before bids for any of the eight new buildings included in the building program will be received. Re added that he hoped several of the smaller buildings would be completed and ready for occupancy for the opening of the new school year next September. Before actual construction can be begun there are many of formalities and much red tape to be gone through with. Architects for the buildings were selected at the meeting of the buildings and grounds committee Wednesday night. Their selection will come up for approval at the regular board meeting next Tuesday. The architects must then prepare plans and specifications and submit them to the board for approval. Frequently changes are ordered and then the plans have to be revised. After the plans finally are approved by the school board they must be submitted to the Steta bard of accounts. After the tax board has decided they are satisfactory the school board must ask the State board of tax commissioners to approve a bond issue to pay for the buildings. If any taxpayers object to the bond issue public hearings must be held. Construction Delays If the program survives all these trials and tribulations bids are advertised and then work at last gets under way. Almost invariably there are delays during the' period of construction. due to various causes, such as strikes, failure of building material to arrive, etc. At many of the schools included In the program housing conditions are of the worst. Equipment now In use at these schools are as follows: No. 30, 39 N. Elder Ave.—The building here is an old two-room frame structure. Three residences recently were purchased and one room in each of these buildings will be used for classes during the winter. No. 38, Winter and Bloyd Aves. — In addition to the four-room brick building, two one-room portables and two residences are being used for classrooms. No. 62, Wallace and E. Tenth Sts.— Here the building is a rickety fourroom frame building, a relic of the days when the territory was outside the city limits. Patrons of the school say the building rocks and shakes in a heavy wind and that it Is unsafe. A two-room portable was placed on the grounds this year to take care of the overflow- of pupils from the other building. No. 67, 3615 W. Walnut St.—ln addition to the eight-room brick building. which is In good condition, three portables are in use. (.lasses in Church No. 70, Central Ave. and Forty-Sixth St. So crowded are conditions at this school that children attend school In a two-room portable, and, through the courtesy of the Meridian Heighty Presbyterian Church, classes are being held In the church auditorium. The regular eight-room building Is In good condition. The annexation of Broad Ripple probably will result in increased attendance at this school. No. 75. W. Fourteenth St., and Belleview Place. Three two-room portables comprise the entire plant. There Is no permanent building. The same condition exists at No. 76, College Ave., and Thirtieth St., where two portables are In use. No. 23, Missouri and Thirteenth Sts. This is a negro school, and housing conditions have been bad here for several years. Two portables supplement the twelve-room building, which is a good one. The shop at this school is in an old residence. ASKS~SCHOOL PROBE” Garfield Civic Association Charges Poor Facilities at No. 22.

FRIDAY THIRTEENTH Girl Cogitates on Hard-Luck Omens

By A GIRL REPORTER I was sitting at my desk enjoying myself, doing nothing, when I saw the city editor coming toward me with a dangerous look in his eye. “Do you know what day this is?” he asked. "Os course the day before pay day,” I answered right back. "Yes, and incidentally it is Friday, the thirteenth,” he shot out. “You’re not superstitious—don’t interrupt—so I want you to go out and prove it. Find out how superstitious ether people are, too.” The first thing I saw outside was a pin. lying right in my path. 1 stooped, started to pick it up. remembered, and walked on without another glance. A black cat crossed—behind me. I passed a coal wagon being unloaded —and didn't even get coal dust on me. I accepted a two-dollar bill in change, and tremblingly put it away. At the Union Station, I walked up to the ticket window. ' “Good morning.” said I. “How are the superstitious travelers?” "Fairly unsuperstitious today, thank you,” said W. A. Berger, ticket seller. "They travel as much as ever, but they take out travelers’ Insurance. One man took out ten days’ Insurance for a trip to Cincinnati.

NEGRO POLITICIAN GETS INJUNCTION AGAINST POLICE Rufo Page Complains That Officers Keep Too Close an Eye on His Poolroom. Police tiptoed past the poolroom of Robert M. (Rufe) Page, 1321 N. Senate Ave., today Instead of walking In rough shod, as Page alleges they have for several weeks. Rufe Is the Republican negro czar of the south end of the Third Ward. Police have been "conspiring and combining” and "stopping on the public street near and In front of plaintiff's place of business and threatening citizens with arrest if they entered," charged Rufe in a petition for injunction filed in Circuit Court. The police also denied customers admission and “by threats, violence and intimidation drove customers out of the place and threatened them with arrest if they returned,” charged Page. Not only all this but “they kept a policeman in my place almost every day from 3 o'clock In the afternoon until 11 o'clock at night,” declared Rufe. Judge Harry O. Chamberlain issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting such police conduct. That is why the police tiptoed past Ruses place today. Rufe said he neglected one opportunity to rid himself of alleged police oppression. Brings Democrats In A few days before the last registration day, he said, Richard M. Coleman, Democratic nominee for prosecuting attorney, and “that fellow who's running against Tutewiler” (Republican nominee for county commissioner) came to his place and told him they could “fix things with the city administration so the police would lay off” if Rufe would slow up registration of negro Republican voters. “I didn't slow up. Neither did the police,” said Rufe. “That is absolutely untrue,” answered Coleman. “I have talked with Rufe Page, but there was absolutely nothing like that in our conversation. He's just trying to pull himself out of a bad hole. “I have not talked with anybody connected with the city administration. I have been in the city hall but twice since Shank took office and I’ve never talked with Shank, Ar mltag# or any of the rest of them.” Negroes Resent Raids - Meanwhile there was "hell on the avenoo," politicians said. Operators of negro gambling Joints used to pampering in the weeks preceding an election, were in a dazed state because police kep raiding them. It was said. Police reported that a number of suspected gambling places were Installing new auxiliary doors, usually of heavy timbers, to make it harder for raiding parties to enter. One of these doors was going on the entrance to the Panama Club, operated by Harry (Goosle) Lee. one of the negro wheel horses In the Shank organization last year. The club Is in the 500 block on Indiana Ave. Police Chief Urrman F. Rlkhoff denied Page's allegations and said the only reason police closely watched Page's place was because numerous reports were received gambling was going on there. Rikhoff said he knew a man had been detailed to watch Page's place by the captain on duty In the afternoon, but this was done only after complaints of gambling had been received. “While we will discontinue this," said Rikhoff. “I will not promise we will not go there and raid the place If we get reports from reliable sources which would Justify Ruch action. I cannot disobey the restraining order, but I do not feel It Is right. 1 have not had an opportunity to talk to the city legal department and at this time I am not able to say whether we will appeal from the order.” WILL ERECT BLOCK Meridian-Twelfth Realty Company to Construct Business Building. A permit for construction of a onestory. brick, business and garage building at 1135 N. Meridian St., was issued today to the Meridian-Twelfth Realty Company. There will be two wings, 40 by 200 feet and 40 by 100 feet. Estimated cost is $50,000.

“Lower 13, on the St. Louis traiji, was turned back three times before a man took it.” On I wandered. I crossed in the middle of the street, just missed an automobile and escaped the traffic cop’s eagle eye. On to the courthouse. Miss Margaret Mahoney, marriage license clerk, smiled sweetly, as if to say: “You’re not superstitious, are you?” But I assured her that it was not my luck (good of bad?) to be taking out a marriage license and asked her how the others were doing. "Oh, they'll come in,” she replied. “Friday never is a very good day, but the thirteenth doesn’t mean what it used to. The couples are so much excited sometimes that they don’t even know the date. When they find out they want me to change the date on the license. A few have decided to come again on a luckier day.” On the other side of the room sat the first couple to brave the thirteenth —Miss Ruth Austin McGinnis and Willis Dhu Aine Peasiee of Chicago, whose marriage will take place tomorrow. "I’m not superstitious,” asserted the bridegroom. “Neither arn I,” countered Miss McGinnis, “except that I wouldn’t pass salt at a tahle. That means the breaking of a friendship.”
