SUIT MAY MEAN BUILDING DELAY ON SHORTRIDGE Owners of Old Site Say They Will Fight for Rights. Indefinite delay in the construction of anew Shortridge High School again was seen today by minority nfembers.of the Indianapolis school board, if former owners of the site at Thirty-Fourth and Meridian Sts. should take legal action to prevent the board from selling the site, or to obtain the difference between the price paid them and the selling price. Miss Mathilda H. Topp and her sister, Anna S. Topp, who owned the land before the board obtained it through condemnation proceedings, said “they would defend their rights.” Appraisal Is $107,000 They have been informed that since the board did not use the tract of land for school purposes, they can take legal action. The board paid $82,000 for the site. It was recently appraised for $107,000. Although there is no way of determining how long such suits would take, Fred Bates Johnson and Charles R. Yoke, minority members, were of the opinion the court action might hinder the erection of the school until after Jan. 1, 1920. At this time the present building must he turned over to the State Life Insurance Company, which bought the site some time ago. No Grounds for Action Martin M. Hugg, school attorney, said the former owners of the property would have no grounds for legal moves since it was bought by the board in good faith. Majority board members indicated they would continue to look for another site.

Patrick Moran, steanifltter foreman in schools for four years, recently dismissed, pointed out inefficiencies of the D-I system manufactured by Clarence C. Shipp .Friday.
