NEGRO LEAGUE PLANS TO MAKE t IMPROVEMENTS Move to Beautify Northwest District Begun by Citizens, Negro property owners toaay are active in a movement to beautify their district and to obtain authorization for street improvements. Their hope is to set an example for owners of large properties in Negro settlements and induce them to cooperate. Improvement of a number of streets in northwest Indianapolis was requested at the board of works meeting Wednesday by about twenty Negroes, members of the West End Civic League. “Our hope is to beautify our neighborhood, and we small property owners are willing to bear our share of the expense of the street improvements we have needed for so many years,” Carter Temple, 550 Minerva St., spokesman, told the board of works. “When we have corrected our own conditions, then we shall ask other people to do likewise. The petitioners said they sought to effect general improvements in a district bounded by New York and West Sts., Fall Creek and White Kiver. Paved streets, sidewalks and curbing were sought for Agnes St., Michigan to Walnut Sts.; Douglass St., New York St. to Indiana Ave.; y Pulley St. and W. Walnut St. The petitioners also requested immediate repair of W. North St. from Blake St. to Hiawatha St. Temple told Roy C. Shaneberger the League hopes to have 1,000 members soon. “I congratulate you men upon the public spirit you have demonstrated,” said Shaneberger. “We of the board think you are accomplishing great good for your people. It is a splendid movement and you can count on our support.”
