STREET MUST SETTLE PRIOR TO REPAIRING Mr. Fixit Finds New Sewers Cause Delay in Improvements.

Do You Know? The little town of Beech Grove pays higher taxes than Indianapolis.

Mr. Fixit is hitting the ball seeking civic improvements for Times readers every day, He is The Times representative at the city hall. Write hifii at The Times. Property owners who live on streets where sewers have been built must wait some time for the ground to settle before it is repaved or repaired by the city, Mr. Fixit learned today, in investigating the following letter: DEAR MR. FIXIT. Sixtieth St., between College Ave. and Broadway, is a disgrace to the neighborhood. It has never had any street improvements, full of weeds in summer and mudholes in winter. It is almost impossible to get a car out of this street in winter. All the streets near are at least graded, graveled or paved. If we could get gravel or cinders for this one block we could get to pavement on Broadway or east to College. Will you try to help us out of the mud this winter? R. F. TAYLOR. W. P. Hargon, clerk of the street commissioner’s office, told Mr. Fixit, he believed settling of the ground will delay repairs on your street for some time. DEAR MR. FlXlT—Won't you please come to our rescue? The alley

between Olive and Linden on Cottage j.ve. is impassable. It Is about the only way we have to get out, as Linden St. is bad from the work on Pleasant Run Blvd. and Olive St. is closed at Cottage Ave. Some of the men from Olive St. dumped dirt at the entrance of the alley where water stood when it should have been gravel. Now we are getting stuck in that mud. MRS. J. D. MRS. C. A. Hargon told Mr. Fixit an investigation already is in progress. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Am writing to you owing to a condition in the 800 block on Washington St. There are some back yards that need attention there. DAILY TIMES READER. Before you read this, an investigation will have been made by the board of health. DEAR MR. FIXIT: I am a reader of The Times and take interest in the Mr. Fixit column and thought possibly I could get something done to the alley I use. The first alley west of S. Emerson, commencing at Julian Ave. and going south to the Pennsylvania Railroad was almost impassable last winter, and with the last rains the entrance to the alley at Julian Ave. was awful. I would appreciate anything you can do. IRVINGTONIAN. There may be some chance for relief. Hargon is investigating. DEAR MR. FIXIT: You have done so much for others I wonder if you can help us. The alley behind the 900 block on Drexel Ave. is in bad condition. Would like it taken care of. When it rains it is very muddy. Water stands hub deep to machines in places. TIMES READER AND PROPERTY OWNER. Hargon will send an Inspector to this alley soon. DEAR MR. FIXIT: I am writing to you to see what you can do for our alley in the 1500 block of Raymond St. and Tabor St., between Draper and Boyd. Standing so long, the water has an odor. One family

poured Its wash water in the alley. P. J. SPIEKER. Hargon will investigate the above complaint and the following: DEAR MR. FIXIT—The alley back of 245 and 247 S. State Ave. is in very bad condition due to it being much lower and having no drain, causing water to stand in the ruts caused by trucks passing through. I think two or three loads of cinders here would help wonderfully. R. W. THIXTON, 245 .S State Ave. ‘GUN WOMAN’ IS HELD 16-Year-Old Wife Confesses Taxicab Banditry. Bu ZJnitrd Pre CHICAGO, Sept. 21.—A little girl with the flaming red hair and hazel eyes who has been reported as “a dangerous gun woman” by taxi drivers is behind the bars. t In a confession obtained by detectives, the little gl.-l said her name was Mrs: Elizabeth Casselman, 16, and that she had been helping her husband and two other men hold up taxicabs. "We were trying to raise enough money to go to California," she said. “We always used a big butcher knife. When we pressed against a taxi man’s back he always turned white and shelled out. Guess he thought we had a gun.” MacVEAGH IS APPROVED Japan Accepts New York Attorney as Ambassador.
