SWITCH ENGINES SEND UP CLOUD OF DARK SMOKE Mr. Fixit Receives Complaint From Railroad Shop Area. Let Mr. Fixit help you pull your oar in the public improvements boat. Ho is The • Times representative at city hall. Write him at The Times. Because present smoke regulations allow engines to be fired thirty minutes a black cloud hides the sunlight from persons living near the Pennsylvania Railroad shops, Mr. Fixit learned today. DEAR MR. FIXIT: I have heard we have a smoke ordinance in our city, but the Pennsylvania railroad switch engines do not seem to be aware of the fact. At times we can hardly breathe without choking on account of their smoke between Rural and Tuxedo Sts. GRAY STREET RESIDENT. The new building code limits coaling to six minutes, a provision that will enable the smoke inspector’s department to cope with the situation, according to H. F. Temffieton, inspectouM Templeton said he Wked a number of your citizens near the shops to attend a recent council meeting to urge adoption of the new proposed regulations, but that no one ap peared. Council is scheduled to consider the new code, Sept. 21. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Will • you please look after School 6 on Union St.? The children in the red building have no lights. This is very bad on their eyes on dark days. MRS. VAIL, South Side Desident. William H. Book, business manager of the school board, has a treat in store for you. During the summer the school has been wired and light fixtures have been insta led. DEAR MR. FIXIT: It seems that, when it is a question between the safety and beauty of a community that the city of Indianapolis would

consider the lives of the. people first. But that has not been vhe case in regard to Garfield Park Dr., where it opens into Southern Ave. near the Pensylvania Railroad. Years ago the driveway was made for vehicles drawn by horses; therefore, it is very narrow.. Twq Javg? briefc pillars stand on each side and shrubbery obstructs the view. Cars are allowed to park in the driveway up to these pillars. Property owners have filed complaints about this matter. The strubbery was chopped down last year, but this year it has grown up. M. V. S. Sergt. Mary Moore of the police accident prevention bureau prom-

ised Mr. Fixit an immediate investigation. If the condition is serious, she will ask the park board to prune the shrubbery. The board of safety has considered and is not hostile to the suggestions in the following letters and has referred them to the accident prevention bureau for investigation. DEAR MR. FIXIT: I would like to call your attention to the bridge over the canal at Sunset Ave. It is in a bad condition. I am a property owner in Rocky Ridge addition. W. E. RYAN, 5314 Sunset Ave. W . P.
