Covers Fifty Years Realizing that haphazard methods of routing streets and avenues has produced Jogs and detours that render impossible passage of traffic by direct route through the city, commission members have perfected a system for expansion during the next fifty years. All city bodies must conform to the general plan. A total of $30,000,000 will be spent during the years to come, for the city will finance 75 per cent of the widening and opening of key streets, while property owners will pay for only 25 per cent of the work. Speedway streets, with preferential through traffic regulations, would lead automobilists direct to the mile square district of the city from suburban regions. North and south speedway streets are: Delaware to Fall Creek, thence on Wash-, lngton Blvd.; Capitol Ave., and Union St. New York St., soon to be widened, will be the principal eastern direct route and will also lead motorists to the west as far as Belmont Ave., where it will be directed via Turner Ave. and Vermont St. Main Streets East In the east part of the city there will be direct passage through Arlington Ave., Emerson Ave., Sherman Dr., Keystone Ave., State Ave., Rural St., Shelby St. and East St. Other north and south thoroughfares of prominence will be Senate Ave., Capitol Ave., Illinois St., Meridian St., Pennsylvania St., Delaware St., Alabama St. to Sixteenth St., Cornell Ave., Tibbs Ave., Warman Ave., Belmont Ave., Harding St., West St., Northwestern Ave. and Montcalm St., thence via Clifton St. Traffic from east to west will utilize the following direct routes: Thirtieth, Twenty-First, Sixteenth, Tenth, Michigan, New York and ■Washington Sts., English Ave., Oliver Ave., McCarty, Prospect, Morris, Minnesota, Raymond Sts. and Southern and Troy Aves. The ordinance curbs the power of the board of works to rule the city improvements.

JUGGLING OF CITY BDDGET IS ASSAILED Democratic Chairman Says Administration Has Not Followed Estimates. The city administration has failed to follow the budget estimates for the year and made is impossible to obtain an accurate comparison between the existing budget and the tentative budget for next year, declared Killiam E.

STATE PARK DIDN’T FEED NELLIE WELL

Times Hiker Compares Prices With Those in Small Town. Note—Nell Gordon of The Times etaff is making a unique tour of Indiana—on foot and with the assistance of motorists who give her a lift. A story of her experience appears in The Times each day. By Nell Gordon I am finally able to explain to my own satisfaction, at least, the reason for the Indefinite road signs leading to the State parks. I now heartily approve of the policy. Jesse James didn't believe In road signs either. No one ever saw a highway slab stating the number of miles to his abode. Not In the days when he was in full operation, at least. Neither were the travelers by stage coach In the early day notified by road signs how many miles it was to the next hold-up, so why change a custom of years? Another point in favor of the present system of signs. The surprise of coming upon a beautiful State park, sudden like, is as it should be. It lessens the shock of the financial setback one Is due to receive. Attendance Cut Down I visited a Stnte park and am throwing this story in now before the boss or any one else finds out which park I am talking about. At the gate I paid the dime for admission and was Informed by the gate keeper that, although It was a State park and intended as a playground for the public, the public must pay admission, and day after day cars full of pleasure seekers who seek free admission are turned away. "It is mostly people with large families who refuse to pay,” explained one of the care takers. “A man with four or five children does not always want to pay the 60 or 70 cents admission for the afternoon’s recreation and will therefore drive away.” However, it wasn’t the thin dime I paid at the gate that I a®i crabbing about. It was the dollar I added to the expense account later on. I was one of three who were served supper at the hotel. The meal consisted of wormed over potatoes (patties), warmed over meat (patties), one vegetable, a small serving of salad, bread, butter, coffee and cooked peaches. The price was sl. Compare that if you will with the meal I was served at the little town of Somerset. A large portion of deliciously broiled ham, two fried eggs, bread, butter, coffee and a quarter of a home baked lemon pie for 35 cents. Coast to Coast While interviewing tourists during the past two days I rode with a family who said they had traveled from coast to coast this season. "She is from Pennsylvania,” the husband stated, referring to his wife, "I am from Oregon so we took the children and made the long trip, visiting both homes and all the grandparents. We found the camp sites in the west are better equipped than In this locality. In fact, some of the Western States seem to have made it a point to study the needs of the tourists and supply those needs, Shower baths are a great convenience and where one finds conveniences like that the word Is passed along to the rest of the tourists and the place soon becomes popular,” he explained. “We are from Rhode Island.” stated a man who was traveling with his wife and two children and whom I visced with by the side of the road while they ate their noon lunch. "We do not pb*i to spend a night In Indiana. W have been told the camp

SHANK MERGER PLANS TO FACE WRATH OF RAY Declares Only City Council Can Abolish Two Departments. Mayor Shank's proposal to consolidate city departments during his administration will face opposition in city council because it Is viewed as a political move. It became known today. Declaring city council adopted ordinances creating the various city departments and only the council may abolish them, Otto Ray, couneilmanlc insurgent leader, today assailed Shank's move and predicted its defeat. No official confirmation developed concerning rumors that Fred B. Akin, head of the Barrett law department, would become head of the combination of that branch with the assessment bureau and that J. F. Rainier, assessment bureau chief, would be removed. A similar situation exists In regard to reports that John F. Walker, street cleaning superintendent, will become superintendents of streets, in grouping the street cleaning and the street commissioner’s department, involving the discharge of Martin J. Hyland, street commissioner. "Politics is at the root of the I entire question,” Ray said. "Shank I first secrettly Insured that departments submitted padded estimates for 1926 and then grand standed by slicing them. "In several departments ths head was not consulted.” WORK FOR INCREASE Organizations to Aid Federal Employes’ Attempt for Annuities Plans for the cooperation of various postal organizations in an attempt to secure an increase In annuities for retired Federal employes were formulated at a meeting at the Federal Bldg.

The retired men seek an Increase in their annuities from $720 to $1,200.

sites in this Sate are not as desirable so we planned our trip to drive through the State and into Illinois before night,” was the Information he handed me. I inquired of his wife what a wellequipped camp site should consist of. "Well, tables and benches help,” she said. “Then there is the matter of drinking water and a cooking shack in case of rain. Some towns furnish firewood, but I do not think that is necessary, as the tourist Bhould pay his own way In every respect. It certainly is a great convenience where we find a shed or building equipped with gas or electric grills It is so convenient to drop a dime in the meter and get enough fuel to cook a meal. Some towns have well-equipped kitchens and others have permanent shelter, but I think the average tourist i* glad of even a shed where fuel can be obtained ,at a reasonable price.” A Boost at Last "We find some very convenient camp sites in this State,” explained a lady who with her husband and friend were traveling to New York. "Last night we stopped In a camp where there was an electric washer. It runs on a meter and is very convenient. Also some cities have camp sites equipped with showers. Those, of course, are getting to be a necessity if a lake or river for bathing is not convenient. A good rest at night and a clean body are necessary if a days travel is to be enjoyed and the tourists go where ,the conveniences are to be had, even though it maybe miles farther to travel."

By Westbrook Pegler NEW YORK, Aug. B.—Mrs. Anna Steese Richardson, author of "Standard Etiquette," the official rule book of major league society and arbiter of the question of what to do when snapped at by an alligator pear, today aimed both barrels of her lorgnette at Edward W. Browning, a real estate man with lots of money, who adopted a young woman with the architectural appointments of maturity because he "just loved little girls.” She gave a free critique on the manners of the rich metropolitan land 'huckster. Mrs. Richardson is author of some of the current gestures of correct behavior and is familiar with all the others- She knows the use of all the table utensils, including the new spade niblick for playing the last pea out of a bad lie in the mashed potatoes and Is an authority on how to behave in case of lobster. “You .May Presume, If “May I presume,” Mrs. Richardson asked, "that Mr. Browning’s motives were perfectly altruistic?” "You may." she was told, "if you hurry. The case Is developing rapidly. At last reports all city departments except the department of docks and markets were making separate Investigations and the United States bureau of mines was beginning to get restive.’ “Well.” said Mrs. Richardson, beginning to speak rapidly lest the next editions of the papers should appear with something to deny her presumption. ”1 have observed Mr. Browning’s conduct in this matter of adoption a child and I think a fitting title for the case would be, 'What, if anything, isn’t wrong with this picture.’ ” ‘‘lgnorant Himself "Here Is a man of wealth who announces that he is going to Introduce his adopted daughter into society, but who seems utterly ignorant himself of the fundamentals of seemly behavior.

"A man of manners, however clean his conscience might he, would do that to protect the girl from the faintest whisper of baseless scandal. “Gets Worse and Worse" "But Mr. Browning gets wtoss and worse. Having done this thing in the manner of bathing beauty competition, he permits this girl to be interviewed and announces that he is going to buy her thousands of dollars' worth of dresses.” The official scorer gave Browning another error In the social box score. "Well, Mrs. Richardson, what chance has Browning's little girl. as. we call her, to enter society?” she was asked. The dean of social umpires, the Billy Evan's of the ballroom, reduced society to its lowest terms, but couldn't place Brownlng'even In the social bush league. "I believe," she said, "that the young woman would have a better chance without the handlcnp of Mr. Browning and his gross vulgarity than she would with him.”
