That the commission would refuse to errant seventeen tickets for *1 was revealed then for the first time.

Double Transfers Allowed Transfer was fixed at 1 cent, with privilege of double transfers at 2 cents, twenty minutes being reserve*} j for the period of each transfer. Owl fares will remain at 10 cents, j An important restriction was made j hv the commission to safeguard 1 against use of the increased far* 1 for purposes other than cited by the coral>any. The revenue from the increased fare must l>e placed into a special fund for depreciation purposes and entered into a special asset account. Monthly statements nnist be filed with the commission and the city, showing the condition of the company’s finances. Written by Mctardle The order, written by John \V. Me- j Cardie, chairman, and approved unanl mnusly by other members. Maurice Douglass. Frank Wampler. Oscar Ratts and Samuel R. Artman. was the j result of three months’ investigation and discussion. The city, represented by Taylor T 7. Groninger. corporation cmmsel. asked for seventeen tickets for SI. The gen ► ral fare increase, petitioned by the; tompany. was approved by the city. Mayor Shank has remained non committal although it is known he has been favorable personally to the increase. Benjamin Perk, utility expert for the city, made an investigation into the company's finance at the request >f a committee of the city council, i headed by Councilman LJoyd D. Clay- < ombe.

Groninser Is Satisfied Taylor Groninger. city corporation counsel, expressed satisfaction at the order with the exception of sixteen tickets for sl. "The order meets every other point asked by the city." said Groninger. "The city fare schedule to Broad Ripple is a victory for the city, as well as the double transfer privilege. The monthly financial statement to the public will encourage more es ficient service. Groninger also praised the commission for recommending immediate rerouting of cars to improve service. The order will enable the company to meet demands for better service, more cars, and better tracks. Mayor Shank said. "I left this street car situation in the hands of Taylor Groninger, and believe that the increase will meet the growing needs--of the city. No city can get along without its car service, and we have been the only large city havingg a 5-cent fare.” said the mayor. SOMEBODY TELL HIM!

SEE AE SMITH REAL CONTENDER Democrats Count 245 Votes for Him at Convention. Time* Wat him] ton Bureau, Mf2 \ru> York Ace. WASHINGTON. April 19. The part that A1 Smith may play in the Democratic national convention is causing considerable thoughts among politicians in the Capital. 'fihis began when Wisconsin unexpectedly reported 23 delegates for Smith as against 3 for McAdoo, the only other contender in that State. It been accelerated by the formal action of the New York State convention in endorsing the Governor for the presidency. It is certain that Smith in the early stages of the balloting will have a creditable showing of votes. New York's 90. Rhode Island's 10 and Wisconsin's 23 gives him 123 as a nest egg and It's a pretty large nest egg. Add 36 from Massachusetts. 28 from New Jersey and 78 from Illinois and Smith will have 245. almost at the beginning. Thereafter it is a question of what his workers can pick up for him. Smith is bound to make a real ap pea! to a lot of delegates. He Is something of an anomaly. He is a Tammany product and yet ever since he enteerd public life he has been able to win support from many elements that habitually fight Tammany. Most any New Yorker will tell you he has been an able and honest Governor, independent of all improper influences. He is a "wet," but from conviction, not as the re suit of political or business pressure. The story of his life is appealing. Smith being a little more self-made than most eminent men who claim that distinction, having lifted himself out of the New York slums by his own efforts entirely STRAWBERRIES AT NEW LOW PRICE Drop to 6G Cents a Quart — Peas Sell at 40 Cents, Select strawberries hit anew low price level at city market today when they dropped to 60 cents a quart.

Where Nimrods Land Big Ones

The fishing season has started and somewhere on Sugar Creek near New Palestine. Ind., is a nice shady hole with the water just running fast enough to keep it * from '‘ring stagnant and the bass—oh boy! fl.\ r---man say it is chock full. Jimmie Flynn of the Eni-Roe Sporting Goods store, played nine bass there last Sunday and hooked four weighing from 1% pound to 3 pounds ,and 3 ounces. Just now there is a great deal of rivalry between bass fisherman who use nighucrawlers for bait and those who use chubs. Flynn used horny chubs. Two other men there before Flynn were using night-crawlers, but were unable to even get a nibble. When Jimmie tossed in his line the three pounder struck and the other men left. Evidently they couldn't stand to see it If you wish to try your luck at this place, drive out Brookvflle Road to first road north of New Palestine. Turn left and go about bne mile. Then turn right to the creek. Tell The Times what luck you had.
