JOKER CLAUSE IN ELEVATION PLAN OPPOSED ¥ Railway Might Be-Allowed to Set Own Time for Starting Work. The Indianapolis Union Railway practically may dictate its own time for starting elevation of Belt Rail-, road tracks from English Ave. to W. New York St., if present form of elevation contract is signed by the board of works Friday. A clause in the contract, stipulating that elevation start thirty days after perfection of flood prevention arrangements is the joker which endless delay may be achieved, according to those in touch with elevation procedure. If steps in flood prevention arrangements click off in one, two, three fashion, an improbability in public works, the earliest time the contracts would be prepared would be Dec. 1, N. W. Cassaday, flood prevention engineer, said. Can Be Delayed As the flood prevention measure •passes through its various stages, remonstrances may be filed or the entire project may be tied up in court by property owners. The Big Four and Pennsylvania Railroad companies own large tracts of land in the district. These railroads also hold a controlling interest in the Indianapolis Union Railway Company. It would be a simple legal process for either of the companies to halt flood prevention arrangements for years, there by delaying construction of the $1,400,0u0 Belt Railroad bridge across White River near Raymond St., where P. J. Landers, superintendent of the Indianapolis Union Railway Company, says elevation must begin. Assurances Given John E. King, south side councilman, declared those who aided railroad representatives to defeat the bill In the 1925 legislature to charge 75 per cent of elevation costs to railroad companies were assured that it would be possible to start elevation at some point other than the bridge. "The Belt Railroad’s contention that they must be certain that the channel of White River will be directed where the bridge is built before construction is begun is foolish,’’ Bald James M. Ogden, corporation counsel. “The taxpayers have been forced to pay $700,000 as their share of the bridge. Certainly, they would not sacrifice that sum by altering the new channel's course so that the bridge would not be available.” South side councilmen and offi-

Hoosier Town Gets Fame in Print Boonville Discovers Value of Publicity—Many Queer Finds.

Bu Times Special BOONVILLE, Ind., Aug. 19. —Residents of Boonville, there are some 5,000 of them, the chamber of commerce insists, have of late turned a cold ear to glowing accounts of the wonders of other great cities. Boonville is satisfied with being just Boonville. Admittedly it has no skyscraper nor vast lake front, but the town “makes” the metropolitan front pages as regular as rent day. \ The whisky spring started it. A whisky sJSring, Boonville folk explain, is like any other spring, however, instead of water \ bubbling forth, the choicest bourbon flows from the earth. Gets In*o Papers Such a spring was alleged uncovered some time ago by Boonville police officials. There was a piece ip tlje big city papers about it. Civic pride bloomed. Although later probes failed to reveal the spring, the city was well on Its way along the primrose path of publicity. A rural mail carrier was next with a report of finding a cave, the floor and walls of which were lined with live, wriggling He made a conservative estimate of 9,000,000 snakes, half of which tried to bite him before he fled, he said. Newspapers carried the * Then a (fvhlspering tree was found in the public square park. William Julian, night police force of Boonville, said he captured several thieves by hearing thefr voices echoed from the tree. The thieves had plotted their job the night before and the tree’s leaves held the echo, said Julian, releasing it when he himself stopped to rest there. Horse Radish Eaters A grocer named Lutz started a cat farm In Boonville. Scores of tabbies now lounge about his place. Several ghosts were reported annoying late pedestrians. One man ate two glasses of horseradish at one sitting, thereby winning the. city horseradish eating title. Newspapers fairly shouted the stories. Boonville became a byword as the town of queer happenings. A veritable Winstead of the west. The latest Boonville item tells of a boy, 17, bed ridden and about to
