CIRCLE GARAGE IS CHECKED BY BANS OF CITYCOUNCIL Driveway Construction Is Made Illegal by Two Measures. Two measures of the city council today blocked construction of a parage on the southwest corner of Monument Pl. and Market St. Although Superior Court had'mandated the city building commissioner j to issue a permit over protest of the ! city plan commission, councilmen j hope to prevent construction of the j garage in this way, following a meetlng Monday night. One of the measures provides that building a driveway by cutting into the sidewalk twenty feet or more wide is a* nuisance. This measure goes into effect immediately on signature of the mayor. No Driveways in District The other measure prohibits construction of any driveway over a sidewalk for vehicle traffic in the congested district bounded by New York, Georgia, Alabama Sts. and Capitol Ave. Councilman Otto ILay Introduced the measures, passed under suspension of rules on motion of Lloyd D. Claycombe. The seven councilmen present voted for the ordinance. Councilmen Heydon W. Buchanan and Theodore J. Bernd were not present. After passing the two ordinances against the construction of the garage, and having seven new measures Introduced, the council adjourned until tonight at 8 o’clock when the final business of the year will be taken up. A number of ordinances await action. Adjourned for Boxing Match Councilmen adjourned after a fif-teen-minute session Monday night to ■witness the boxing exnibition in Tomlinson Hall. New ordinances introduced: Ratifying contract with Polar Ice and Fuel Company for a switch at Northwestern Ave and Twentieth St Amending zoning: ordinance to make territory at southwest corner of College Ave. and Fairfield Ave. residential to business.

Great Audience Will Greet People’s Chorus

A final rehearsal of "The Messiah,” to be presented Wednesday night at 8:15 o’clock at Cadle Tabernacle, held last night, progressed without a hitch, according to Edward Bailey Birge, director, and indications point to a most successful concert with a great audience in attendance. Thiee hundred members of the People's Chorus will sing Handel's masterpiece, accompanied by the Indian apotis Symphony Orchestra, Mrs. William E. Duthie, organist, and Mrs. Dorothy- Knight Greene, pianist. Mrs. E. C.vßumpler, president of the chorus organization, is much pleased with the advance sale of tickets which has own going on for more than a week. "This will be a test of the popularity of the People's Chorus,” she said today. "In making an admission charge of 85 cents we feel that every- one who appreciates good music will be able to attend. It was impossible to give a free concert because there are necessary expenses that have to be taken care of. No one will make a cent of profit out of this entertainment,” Mrs. Rumpler said. Prominent Local Soloist Will Assist Big Chorus There are probably no better known or more popular singers than the four •oloists who will appear in the oratono V ednesday night. All of them— Mrs. Frances Johnson, soprano; Miss Norma Muller, contralto; George W Kadel. tenpr, and Fred Newell Morris, basso—have a large following in this city. Many requests fdr tickets from out-or-town people are coming in. The four agencies where tickets are on Bale report a brisk demand locally. Tickets will be on sale until Wednes-

evening at the Fuller-Ry-de Music Company, Indianapolis Talking Machine Company, Circle Talking Machine Company- and the Pearson Plano Company. Sunday in many church services and Sunday schools the concert was announced. It is probable that no other oratorio is closed to the heart of Christian people than "The Messiah.” Many .believe that Handel was actually inspired when he wrote it. Dealing with the birth of the Savior, as it does, the oratorio belongs to the Christmas period. "In Boston it lias been sung at Christmas for fifty years,” said Mrs. Florence Lewis, publicity director of the People's Chopus, "and in Boston and in other large cities much larger prices are charged for admission. We believe that in fixing a low price we may fill the great tabernacle. We want every one who loves music to hear ‘The Messiah’ this time. The chorus lias never been in better trim to sing the masterpiece and our soloists •will be superb." This Treat Will Cost Only 25 Cents a Seat It has been announced that there will be no reserved seats. Any one who buys a 25-cent ticket will be entitled to sit in any part of the tabernacle. The business committee of the chorus of which Harry Nicoli is chairman, issued ten thouand tickets on the theory that this is the number that can be comfortably seated in the tabernacle. The chorus plans to give another oratorio in the spring if the concert Wednesday night draws out proper attention from the public. Tickets will be on sale at the taberr.acle Wednesday evening to those who are unable to obtain them in advance.”
