FT. WAYNE’S PLEA FOR POSTOFPICE FRETSFAIRFIELD Only One Way to Write Bill Giving 144 Other Cities New Buildings Also, By C. A. RANDAU Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 22.—Usually obtaining a million dollar postoffice appropriation from Congress suffices to insure a Congressman of re-election Congressman Louis W. Fairfield, of the Twelfth Indiana District has a more difficult problem. Unless he can get Congress to appropriate money for 144 new Federal buildings and postoffices he can’t get it to spend a million for anew Federal building at Ft. Wayne. He has introduced a measure that appropriates from $50,000 for postoffices at Camden, Ark., and Ottawa, 111., to $2,000,000 for massive structures at Albany, N. Y., and Hartford, Conn., every State in the Union would get something out of Fairfield’s bill. Two years ago treasury and postoffice officials agreed that 144 cities needed better Federal office facilities. Included in the list was a million dollar building for Ft. Wayne. Congress turned a (leaf ear to the pleas for more buildings, and the representative from the Twelfth Indiana District, who is said to fear the anger of the voters if he doesn’t get the million building, sat upon the Idea of getting the support of the Congressmen from the 144 cities all united in support of one bill. Chairman Langley, Republican, Kentucky, chairman of the buildings committee to which the bill has been referred, however, says there Is no chance to get favorable committee action on it. Planning to get 160 Congressmen to sign a petition discharging the committee from further consideration. He Is none too optimistic over the proposition. Indiana cities other than Ft. Wayne affected by the measure are Terre Haute, $485,000; Hammond, $200,000; Kokomo, $96,000; Logansport, $125,000; Munele, $130,000; Vincennes, $150,000, and South Bend, $675,000.

You probably think you are a law-abiding citizen. Then, next time you take your new speedster over a bridge, drive it not "faster than a walk.’’ If you don’t, you will be a lawbreaker. A State statute, still on the books, reads: “The board of commissioners of a county shall cause the township superintendent to keep in a conspicuous place on each end of a bridge, this notice: ‘sl fine for riding or driving on this bridge faster than a walk.’ ’’ The fines, the law adds, shall be applied to repairs to the bridge If this law were enforced now, anew police force would have to be established to make the arrests!

“tips"). That is a most wasteful practice, according to the lawmakers of 1891, the time of the gas boom. Since Indiana has little natural gas, officials are not much worried about enforcement of this law. There are numerous others —one proriding for payment of county bridges by tolls; another, relating to obstruction of navigation on canals by driving an animal along the towpath or berme. They are not enforced. Some of them mean nothing in this modern age. But, if you disobey any of them, you are not a law-abiding citizen. Think it over—but don't lose sleep over the possibility of arrest.
