BICYCLE RIDING ON SIDEWALKS LAW VIOLATION Complaints Received in Mr. Fixit’s Daily Mail. Do You Know? You will be arrested if you drive through a funeral procession by terms of a recent ordinance adopted by city council. Mr. Fixit is The Indianapolis Times representative at city hall. If you desire, public improvements at once, write .hint at The Times. By Dr. Fixit If you pine for an old fashioned bicycle ride, select your race track on a street, not a sidewalk, is the advice of Capt. Barrett Ball. DEAR MR. FIXIT: It is against the law to ride bicycles on the sidowalk when the streets are paved? If so, I would like to see the law enforced on State Ave., from "Washington St. south on State Ave. I was run into twice in the last ten days. CITIZEN. It is certainly against the law and police will break up the practice, Mr. Fixit was informed by Captain Ball. DEAR MR. FIXIT: There’s a whale of a hole, two and one-half feet wide and six inches deep, in fe 1300 block on Burdsal Parkway, hy not fill it? MOTORIST. H. Houston. Tall, assistant park superintendent, will have the hole repaired. DEAR MR. FIXIT: There are no fire escapes on th Indiana Pythian Bldg. Last winter there was a fire in this building. Had the elevator not been running, a serious calamity would have taken place. TENANT. There are two stairways and no fire escapes are required for that sized structure when there are those facilities, Mr. Fixit was told at the office of the building commissioner. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Kindly see ■what you can do in regard to the chuckholes on Hoefgen St., right off Madison Ave. I The holes are large enough to go I swimming in after a rain. A. J. S. Frank Reid, inspector of the j street commissioner's department, 1 will head his sliver toward your ‘street ad see what can be done. DEAR MR. FIXIT: On July 15 you printed my letter regarding pop

He declares flying through the clouds is “like singing ‘To Deum’ ” and opens new spiritual vistas for him. stands. Yod quoted the law find stated that Captain Fletcher informed you that he would watch for violations of this law. On July 13 you said that the board of works would order these stands to move or suffer arrest. A week has passed and no action. Are they going to wait until the snow flies? . A LEGITIMATE MERCHANT The pop merchant sells his waxes all over the city and often times is hard to find. The board of works decided to take a census of sidewalk stands and then order them closed. If you know of instances, tell Mr. Fixit or the police. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Why is it the street cleaning department will not attend to cleaning Beechwood. Ave. between Audubon Rd. and Good Ave.? Whenever it rains the sewer in front of our house and the one opposite do not carry the waste away. W. J. KRAUSS, 5744 Beechwood Ave. Mr. Fixit has the promise of the street cleaning department to attend to this matter at once. DEAR SIR: I wrote, to the street commissioner’s office before I left for my vacation the first of this month to have the weeds out on

the vacant lots next to me, and nothing has been done. W. IT. GREENE, 1404 Lawton St. W. P. Hargon will unloose the weed gleaners on the lot. They say at the street commissioner’s office this is the first request they’ve received. TO DRINKING FAN: Mr. Fixit has pleaded the case of the drinking fountains for horses before Martin J. Hyland, but Hyland says no more than twenty-eight may be operated under present financial conditions. TO E. HUGHES: Captain Fletcher has promised Mr. Fixit a thorough investigation of the house in question. DEAR MR. FIXIT: On the corner 0 f and Sts., there is a certain bunch of “would-be” sports that hang around the drug store and it is impossible to post a letter in the malFbox. It is also impossible to get past them, as they gang up on the sidewalk and shoot craps. Also a decent girl or woman can hardly go past without some remark being made. Thanking you in advance. TIMES READER Mr. Fixit believes there are other localities where these drug store cowboys bother citizens who pass. Investigation has revealed that many of the crimes nowadays are hatched at the meeting places of these corner loafers. Captain. Ball of the police department promised Mr. Fixit to correct the condition you mentioned. DEAR MR. FIXIT: S. Randolph St., from Southeastern to English Aves. is very dirty. Is it too much to expect the street cleaning department to help us keep it clean? Any attention given to this shall be appreciated. GRATEFUL. John F. Walker, street cleaning superintendent, will give your street his personal attention. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Several weeks ago they promised us gravel for our street. They hauled several loads ,and quit and some of the holes are about as bad as ever. NICHOLAS AVE. RESIDENTS. Records of the street commissioner’s office show that in May and June fifty yards of gravel and five yards of cinders were placed on your street. The department Is authorized only to grant you temporary aid. Officials there say you’ve had your share. TO E. MARYLAND ST. READER: The board of health has promised Mr. Fixit an immediate investigation of the condition you describe. DEAR MR. FIXIT: After every rain the water stands for days in the gutter on E. Georgia St. between Olive and Shelby Sts. TIMES READER. Your trouble is probably a stopped up sewer. Thomas P. Newsom, assistant street commissioner, has ordered an immediate investigation.

was at the foot of the claks with a value of $65,620. Passenger automobiles, excluding electric cars, valued at $3,477,556 added the largest single item to the State's total export trade for the three months, the report shows. Meat, valued at $3,319,685, was second, with lard amounting to $2,131,767 third. Dr. Julius Klein, director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, calls attention to the fact that these statistics do not show exactly the source of all products exported during the period, since the figures were compiled from export declarations filed by shippers at ports of exportation. Certain shipments are credited to coastal states that originated in the interior.
