SAY SOMETHING AND HELP BOOST INDIANAPOLIS WHAT would you do to improve Indianapolis? Indianapolis is a mighty good place to live in, but many citizens have ideas how it could be made better. Do we need better car service, more parks and playgrounds, better streets, new building regulations, municipally owned utilities, a definite program of smoke prevention, more municipal theaters, changed traffic regulations or some other change or improvement? Many cities are doing things differently from Indianapolis, Would Indianapolis do well to incorporate some of the ideas worked out in other places?

The Times is giving you an opportunity to express your ideas. This paper wants to print the things you are thinking about in relation to The improvement of the city in which you live. Your ideas may be of benefit to other citizens and to persons directly in charge of city affairs. Write your suggestions in a letter to the Editor of The Times.

The vote of approval was 47 to 43. The question of final passage in the Assembly is expected to be decided in favor of the “wets” by virtue of the vote favorable to the measure today. Shortly before the approval and engrossment vote, the Assembly refused to kill the repealer by an identical ballot.

After final passage the measure will -go to the Senate, which has killed a half dozen less drastic anti-prohibition proposals. A hard fought battle of two hours preceded the decisive wet VictoryProposals for a referendum on the Eighteenth Amendment was defeated, i 50 to 37, by the wets, who referred the bill to the judiciary committee, v. here it will be amended to provide lor a referendum on the question of modifying the Volstead act and providing for a memorial to Congress.
