TRACKS DELAY IMPROVEMENT •OF NOBLE ST. / t . "v Mr. Fixit Told Permanent Repair Depends on Street Car Company Action. €dve Mr. Fixit a chance to adjust rour difficulties in obtaining- needed lmgrovements from city officials. Write im at The IndianaDOlls Times and your complaint will receive prompt attention. Mr. Fixit knows of a number of pifblic improvements all ready to proceed with exception of one factor that delays the entire project. This is the condition on N. Noble St. from Michigan to Ohio Sts. DEAR MR. FIXIT: I am a resident of N. Noble St., over which I ridy daily in an automobile. The street, from Michigan to Ohio (only three short squares) Is in such deplorable condition that I could not resist writing you about it. Every time it rains the blocks swell and separate, leaving large chuck holes in the street which really are very dangerous, not only to ■ automobile owners, but also to pedestrians, and small children. The school is only one square away, and mgny children cross the street every day, and should they fall over onife of these bad places in front every week or so a squad are ser t out to patch ups the bad places, which they do, wij3h sand or gravel, and then when 4 Yains again it is still worse. Tour attention to this street would oblige many taxpayers and property others on this street. The E. Michigan St. car Is routed ovjsr this street, and hundreds of automobiles drive through from Massachusetts Ave. to Washington St. daily. It is the first street that rtfhs straight through to Washington St., coming from the east. HELEN LEFKOVITZ, 329 N. Noble St. All is In readiness to resurface the street, Otto J. Smelcer, superintendent of improved streets, told Mr. Fixit. The contract has beon let to the Union Asphalt Company, but the Indianapolis Street Railway Company is delaying the program because it has failed to pave between its tracks. As soon as the street car company takes action you will have relief. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Would you be so kind as to put safety zones at Brush and W. Washington Sts. so. we can get off and on cars during evenings after ball games? Thanking you very much, A LABORER. Police Chief Herman F. Rikhoff was directed by the board of safety to start an investigation by the police accident prevention bureau. fever, members expressed the lon that the street is too narfor a safety zone and said believed police are able to handle the crowds without establishment of a zone.

DEAR MR. FIXIT—We are having trouble with closing up the alley in the 1300 block running east and west between Lambert and Howard arid between Sheffield and ePrshlng Aye. They have closed it and built a fence across the alley. The plot at the city hall shows a seventeenfoot alley running west from Belmpnt to Eagle Creek. I put a petition in at tho city hall December 20, 1924, with twenty-three property owners’ names on it to have the afley reopened. They told me at the city hall they could find nothing where anybody had the right to close the alley. But they don't seem to do. anything about it. Will you klftdly see what can be done to have It reopened and oblige? I am night watchman at the Kresge store, 17 W. Washington St. • WILLIAM F. WALLACE, 1333 S. Pershing Ave. Through a difference in platting of a subdivision, the property owners are authorized to maintain their line without an alley. Two subdivision meet. On one side space for an alley has been allowed. On the other there was no provision for an alley. T. E. assistant street commissioner made a special survey at fFixit's request. The board orks has considered this matand finds that through the original error in laying out the Subdivision, there is little prospect of maintaining an allev.
