Freeman, board of works member, when city engineers and those connected with the board spoke right up in public about negotiations to determine pro: portionate cost of the $1,400,00 Belt Railroad bridge over White River, is ag%in the “good word.” Freeman has announced that no more comment will issue from the board of works with respect to the councilmanic rebellion, which resulted from the board’s refusal to move the city barns from Shelby St. near Fountain Square to the Lavelle foundry building on Palmer St., east of Madison Ave., and alleged unfulfillment of promises to councilmen made by city officials and board members.

"Hear ye, hear ye,” said the bailiff, and although I “heard” with all my might, I lost out on the remainder of his speech. My hearing must have been exceptionally bad, for when my case was finally called someone said: “Hold up your right hand. Do you solemnly swear—bubblbe.” I swore like a true pedestrian. Then Elton F. Leffler, prosecutor —I Just know he isn't affected by the latest boost in gasoline—said: “Guilty or not guilty?” The Plea “Mmm," I said, and he wrote not guilty. Boy, law sure works fast. Judge Wilmeth looked stern an he roared: “Who's the prosecuting officer?” ”1 am, your honor,” said Officer Viles. “Did this man Jay walk?” "Yes, sir.” "How long has he lived in Indianapolis?” "Huh?” Officer Viles was up a tree. “Buzz-buzz," I said to him.

I waved at him, but he kept on going. I arrested him.” Judge Wilmeth turned to me. “Didn't you know there is a law forbidding Jay-walking?” I gu.ped noisily and said "No.’* He read the ordinance: "All pedestrians crossing the street intersections in the congested district shall cross at right angles and shall not cross diagonally at such intersections. Such pedeetriars sball cross only on the signal of the j traffic officers, if one is stationed at j such crossing and shall move only *n the direction of the traffic.” Judge Wilmeth frowned heavily. The Charge "This is a serious charge, young I man. I can fine you S3OO and costs I and sentence you to 180 days on the Indiana State Farm. "Suppose everyone crossed the i street as you did. What kind of j conditions would we have? Motor cars couldn’t move at all. Scores | of pedestrians would be killed and hurt every day.
