RESIDENCE STREET CLEANING STOPS TONIGHT

Failure of Council to Appropriate Money for Mule Hire Will Cause Curtailment, Says Superintendent Walker. SEVENTY-FIVE MEN TO BE DISCHARGED Work to End at Midnight—ssoo,ooo Loan to City’s General Fund Authorized at' Meeting Board of Works Attacked. Cleaning of all but downtown and major thoroughfare streets will be stopped at midnight tonight, John F. Walker, street cleaning superintendent, announced today. Failure of city council Monday night to transfer $3,000 to the team hire fund is responsible, Walker said. Eighteen teams and seventy-five inen will be temporarily discharged. ' “After midnight we will have just S2O left in the team hire fund,” "Walker said. “I have talked to qouncilmen for weeks, telling them ■faiat the situation would be, and I had been assured the money would toe transferred Monday night. Hiring Is Policy “For years the city has hired most of the street cleaning teams so it would not have to feed them during the winter months. Consequently we have only enough cityowned animals to work the downtown district and such major highways as Meridian and Washington Sts. The teams go ahead of the motor flushers. “We have to lay off the seventyfive men who work with the eighteen teams. “The fund is short because in making this year’s budget my request for $6,000 for team hire was cut to $4,000. The expense for this year reaches a higher figure than I estimated because some of the city owned animals wore out last spring and we had to sell them and hire more.” The city pays team owners $1.25 a day for the animals and $5 a day for driving them. Loan Authorized The council authoriea the $500,000 temporary loan for the general fund. While councilmen scored the board for jumping the gun on the city plan commission by proceeding with the Widening of E. New York St., the body adopted the major thoroughfare plan which had long been slumbering in committee. Otto Ray, rebel leader, announced he would prepare an amendment fixing maximum width of New York St. at forty-eight feet instead of from fifty to fifty-four feet. Schmidt Speaks Gustav G. Schmidt, plan commission member, told councilmen the city would pay 75 per cent of New York St. improvement and other projects, from $350,000 a year the plan commission will receive. The board of works was rebuked when council refused to transfer $6,000 to the blank books and advertising fund and did not overrule a remonstrance of property owners on the improvement of Nowland Ave. from Newman St. to Commerce Ave. Councilmen put to a speedy death the ordinance transferring $9,000 to the fund for salaries of paving inspectors, thereby delaying $1,500,000 worth of public improvements. Appropriation for Signals The stop and go signals will continue to flash their messages to motorists, for the council appropriated $5,000 to, pay current bills during the remainder of the administration. The board of safety also was victorious through passage of ordinances appropriating $1,400 to buy a red light truck for the police department, adding S4OO to the police motorcycle fund, and transferring $2,500 from the oil to the gasoline fund. However, council rejected a number of board of safety measures, including appropriation of $250 to material and supplies fund for east city market, and SSOO to the motorcycle repair fund of the police department.

MOVE STARTED TO OUST KING (Continued From Page 1) session to consider the removal of the secretry for malfeasance in office in the specific matter of certifying to the State auditor certain salary increases within the department which were not authorized by the board and some of which salary raises had been specifically requested and definitely denied. And that the secretary, as executive officer, be specifically instructed to deliver in writing to himself this day a copy of this resolution. Profit Alleged “Be it also moved, citing the secretary before the board Monday, Aug. 10 at 10 a. m. for alleged malfeasance of office that an additional count be made of violation of that section of the law prohibiting the secretary from engaging in any business of profit be hereby entered, to-wit: “Engaging in business of copying certain records of the department for a fee said to total grossly about S3OO a month. King left the building immediately after the meeting and could not be found. Six Increases Check of vouchers at the State auditor's office showed that six salaries have been raised in the department since July 23. Members of the board declared three of the increases were authorized, but that the others had been denied previously, Each notice filed with the auditor indicated that the board of health has ordered the increase. Increase which board members declared were not authorized were; Frank Thomas, food and drug chemist, $125 to $l5O a month; Frank J. Koehne, food and drug chemist, $125 to $l5O a month, and Charlotte Davis, stenographer, sßu to SIOO a month. Members ofthe board and Dr. King were behind locked doors for nearly three hours today. Trouble in the health department began brewing several weeks ago when Dr. King dismissed Dr. J. G. Royse, his assistant, on the chax-ge of infidelity and indolence. Royse carried his fight, through political channels, gack to the board and was able to gain reinstatement. As lonj> as King and Royse were in the same office trouble prevailed. King placed the matter before Governor Jackson some time ago and the Governor ordered Royse’s name striken front the State payroll. At the same time Jackson ordered the dismissal of Mrs. Vivian Tracy Wheatcraft, head of the intelligence division ofthe State fire marshal’s office, and vice-chairman of the Republican State committee. Jackson for King Throughout the fight Jackson has taken the part of Dr. King and has admitted that Mrs. Wheatcraft's removal was caused by her interference in behalf of Dr. Roysfe a id to the detriment of the be ird of health. Exact outcome of the -empval proceedings against Dr. King will be watched with interest, because today's action of the board of health was construed as open warfare against the Governor. If the board of health dismissed King, it is believed Jackson will interefe rin some way or another. His future efforts in behalf of King will be complicated, however, by the fact that the board of health members are appointed by a special committee composed of the Governor, the State auditor and the secretary of State. It would be impossible for Jackson to discipline members of the board except through the prestige of his ofice or the sanction of the other members of the committee, if he should decide to ask for the resignation cf the entire toard to save King.

In the Good Old Summertime

CITY BUDGET CUT 5975,000 (Continued From Page 1) fifteen. Six men were removed from the staff of detectives, reducing the total number to fifty. The same reduction was authorized for the force of sergeants, which now is placed at twenty-six. Rikhoff's appeal for seventy-eight traffic men was reduced to seventy, when department heads agreed that “stop and go” signals ,would replace many guardians of thte thoroughfares. There are now nine captains and twenty lieutenants on the force. Attorneys to Go Attorneys for the city plan commission and the board of health are abolished through today’s deliberations, Mayor Shank declaring that other members of the city’s legal department have the time to transact the legal affairs for the two branches. The salary of each office is $3,000. Another well paid office was removed from the political trough when the ' custodianship of Tomlinson Hall was abolished and all the functions of that office placed under Jurisdictlon of the city market master. As the scythe passed along. It clipped off the office of city veterinarian when Mayor Shank declared the city’s animals are so healthy that little medical aid Is required. The personnel in the office of the board of safety was cut from three to one at Mayor Shank’s request. The meeting started with careful perusal of the tax levies proposed by the various boards and commissions for 1926. The general fund levy which Includes the detailed cuts mentioned above, was reduced two cents. One cent was lopped off the city sinking fund levy. Then the assembly proceeded to remove entirely from the budget taxes of .015 cents each for the police and firemen’s pension funds. Cabinet members said the departments have each $300,000 invested in bonds, which will care for all payments to pensioned police and firemen. Then R. Walter Jarvis, park superintendent, appeared on the scene and was able to save Intact the levies of 8 cents for park general and .0575 for park district bond funds. However, he was forced to submit to a reduction of the recreation department budget from .02 to .015 cents. Track Elevation

Track elevation suffered two heavy jolts. The recommendation of 6 cents was trimmed to 5 cents, and, as am afterthough, Mayor Shank and Joseph L. Hogue, city controller, lopped off another cent. Money In that fund plus payments from railroads for past elevation projects enabled tho reduction to be effected, It was said. Russell T. Mac Fall, president of the board of sanitary commissioners, appeared on the scene of battle too late to prevent a slice of 1 cent in the sanitation maintenance levy, and it now stands at .0675. Despite previous statements, Mayor Shank cut off % oeht in the board of health tax, making it .095. The victory of the city plan commission in passage by city council of the major thoroughfare plan ordinance Monday night was negated when the city pruners eliminated the tax of 3 cents proposed from the budget, leaving a blank space beside tho item of that department for widening major thoroughfares. The finance department reported that $136,770 was on hand for that purpose during next year without a levy. A total saving of $17,847 was effected through consolidation of the offices of 6treet commissioner and street cleaning superintendent. One of two assistant street commissioners was removed, salvaging $2,000. The salary of one department head Is $2,500, which passes to tho credit side of the ledger. Other elmlnatlons were one clerk, one timekeeper, one assistant timekeeper, one blacksmith, tw r o carpenters, $5,000 for oiling streets and $6,000 for maintenance and repairs of the W Tenth St. bridge, for which the board of works has authorized a bond Issue. The pruners even sliced off $32 for Ice and reduced the office supply total. Pound Increased Pausing in the fury of the slaughter, the budgeteers approved an increase of $l6O for the city dog pound, favored the weights and measures total of $9,807 and the budget of the city purchasing department, totaling $45,630.

municipal garage appropriation was set at $67,530. Clerical personnel reductions In the office of the assessment bureau brought its total from $13,620 to $10,200. “There’s a lot of bunk about the plan commission,” said Mayor Shank and the pruning was on. An item of S4OO for transportation was removed after mention of the plan commission’s recent junket to New York had come from one of the blood-thirsty budgeteers. The office of attorney for the board was abolished. Bang went one clerk and the office of engineer of the city hall, each job paying $1,500, when the board of works allowance came before the sicklers. Repairs Reduced The fund for repairs to the city hall was halved to SIO,OOO. Mayor Shank made an impassioned plea for the modern paper towel when it was revealed that the board of works sought to pay $2,000 to.towel supply and cleaner companies for a year’s service in towels and cleaning materials, respectively. The budget was set at SI,OOO, with tho understanding that the paper towel should reign supreme. “One hundred and eleven dollars for cleaner stuff?” Mayor Shank exclaimed when a bill was produced.* Soap and Water “Say, the best cleaner I know is old fashioned soap and water!” Mayor Shank said the city officials must exert every effort to lower taxes because high taxes may drive people out of Indianapolis. “The situation is actually becoming alarming,” Shank declared. "Telephone company officials say they have had 8,400 removals recently and there’s a regular flow of people to Florida. "We’re not trying to make It tough for our successors, but will leave them with about as much money as we had to run the city." ARRIVAL IS AUG. 22 Bancroft Coming Back to Land of Birth on Cruiser.

SHANK ADVISED TO LEARN REAL COLISEUM VALUE ‘5465,000 Too Much,’ Says Ray—Tells Mayor to Keep Funny. Mayor Shank today was advised to consult the hoard of works to obtain the real value of the site for the municipal coliseum at Washington, Davidson, Pine and Market Sts., which the board recommended the city buy for $465,000, In a letter from Otto Ray, a chieftain in the rebellion of city council uguinst the Shank administration, “I agree with you,” Ray wrote in answer to a letter from Shank, “that $465,000 Is a lot of money, particularly to a plumber, and I happen to be one. And it would be considerable money to spend for the slto for a coliseum.” Humorous View Ray’s letter expresses the hope that Mayor Shank will continue to pursue his humorous view of life. “Mayor, you are always the Joker, aren’t you?” the letter reads. ‘Your letter was Just like one of Ring Lardner’s. I am glad you haven't become too high toned since living on Golden Hill, even If you have thrown your cotton socks away and now wear silk ones, and have a liveried chauffeur—vlsored cap and uniform loggings and everything. And they tell me you have a butler. More power to you. But, Mayor, don’t lose your personality In all that classy atmosphere. Hang on to your funny ways and funny letters. This world has enough grief; It needs some fun once In a while.” Mayor’s Hours Scored Ray’s letter declared tho mayor's storage business prevents taxpayers from finding Shank at his office In the city hull. “But don't you care. Five minutes a day or thirty minutes a day, one day a week, which you’ve epent in your office the last few months is enough.
