PLANS FOR FIFTY YEARS TO GO TO COUNCILTONIGHT Elaborate Program to Care for Traffic Problems 'Worked Out, jPlans for widening important thoroughfares in Indianapolis, eliminating- jogs and straightening and opening streets to meet growing traffic problems for the next fifty years will be submitted to city council tonight by the city plan commission. If counciY approves the plan, widening of New York St. from East St. to Irvington will be the first work undertaken, commission members said. About SIOO,OOO now is on hand for the work, according to Gustav H. Schmidt, chairman of the oofnmissiOn's traffic committee. By the end of the year the amount will have increased to about $300,000, he said. The money accrues from a 3-cent tax levy. Thirteen Proposals In general the plan is devised to divert heavy traffic around the downtown district. Thirteen general proposals in the plan: . 1. Widening of Massachusetts Ave. twelve feet from Pennsylvania to Delaware S&s. 2. Covering Pogue's Run fromOhio to Tenth Sts. and using, with a roadway, the center for , heavy traffic, light traffic to ®se each side. 3. Opening Twenty-Second St. from Capitol to Northwestern Aves. 4. Widening of Cornell Ave. from Davidson St. to Massachusetts Ave. In connection with the Pogue’s Run roadway and S. Davidson St. this would give a thoroughfare from the north side to the freight depot district. Rerouting of Cars 5. Rerouting of street car lines out Pennsylvania st. to Ft, Wayne Ave.: out Ft. Wayne Ave. to Eleventh St., thence to College Ave. This would relieve the pressure of the nine car lines now using Massachusetts Ave. 6. Widening Delaware St. to sixty feet, Massachusetts Ave. to Fall Creek. In this- connection - removal of esplanades in all streets will be recommended. Opening of Tenth St. from Ft, Wayne Ave. to Indiana Ave., making it a major thorough--fare across the entire city. 7. Widening New York St. from IJast St. to Irvington: straightening all jogs, extending street from Oriental St., adross Highland Park, through Marlowe Ave. to Randolph St. , - ■B. Widening Sixteenth St.. Roosevelt Ave. to West St., eliminating jogs. Connecting West St. with Northwestern Ave., giving Sixteenth St. an opening on the west to the city limits. New Preferential Street 9. Making Union St. a preferential street for light traffic, Madison Ave. to Adler St. 10. Removing jog in Lexington Ave. at Shelby St. 11. Widening Cruse St. and extending it from Washington to Ohio Sts. to connect with Pogue’s Run Improvement. 12. Removing jog in Prospect at East St., crossing Madison Ave. with Prospect at right angles and thence Join Morris St., which would be widened ten feet from city limits to city limits. 13. Widening Oliver Ave. to a sixty-three-foot roadway, and extending it to National Rd. This would . releve Washington St. of much heavy traffic. t

GOOD YEAR SEEN FOR HOOSIERS IN BUILDING TRADE

U, S, Department of Labor y > Predicts Boom in Survey, BY C. A. RANDAT Time* Staff Corre.svondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—Indiana is destined to enjoy an extremely busy building season during the greater part of the present year, according to a survey made public today by the Departmetn of Labor. “However,” the report states, “A dearth of building labor is not expected, the impression the program will be of sufficient size to engage all available resident building labored. If the tremendous program planned, goe3 on smoothly, without Interruptions of any sort, there probably will be a labor shortage in industries manufacturing materials for building purposes, such as the iron and steel, brick, sand and gravel Industries, and the like. The nature of proposed building construction will be in residence and two or three story apartment dwelling houses. Especially in Indianapolis Ib the building program going to be*' large. Several large manufacturing buildings and partment houses are contemplated and a large clubhouse in course of construction vjrill not be completed until late in 1925. A considerable amount of church and hospital building also is planned in various cities. Increased activity also is apparent in other lines. The iron and steel industry has made the • | reatest strides and it is easy to find openings for the skilled worker, but extremely difficult to place the unskilled men. Mines are operating on a little better schedule than a month ago and more miners are employed. Building construction of course la curtailed during extreme* ly cold weather. A strong demand for female domestics is reported.” Motorist Is Slated Ted Norwood, 32, of R. R.
