GRADE SCHOOL PATRONS FAVOR OLD S.K.S. SITE Committee Asks Immediate Construction on Present Location. Committee representing thousands of patrons of six north side grade •schools, whos& children will attend tlie new Shortridge High School, today sent a letter to the Indianapolis school board urging the board to build Immediately on the ThirtyFourth and Meridian Sts. site now held. Members of the committee were selected at a mass meeting of Shortridge patrons April 7, at the St. Paul M. E. Church, Rader and Eugene Sts. The committee is composed of Mrs. Gladys Kitzmiller, A. S. Buchanan, Arthur E. Johnson, O. O. Yater and Elmer Jones. Transfers Necessary The letter pointed out all children in the north section of the cityare compelled to take time in transfer on street cars to get to any other schools other than Shortridge. This same condition would exist if the board builds on Forty-Sixth St., between Central Ave. and Washington Klvd., or any site other than ThirtyFourth St., tlie letter stated. The letter said the pupils could v,alk to school at Thirty-Fourth St. Belief that the new school will not be erected by Jan. 1, 1929, as voiced by members of the Indianapolis Public School Welfare Association, composed of prostesters against the board's determination to relocate the building. By that time the board must turn over the present building, Michigan and Pennsylvania Sts., to the State Life Insurance Company, which bought the tract. The board Tuesday night rescinded its action on an agreement to buy the Forty-Sixth St., site and to sell the Thirty-Fourth St. location. Final Court Action Charges that these moves were made illegaly were contained in the complaint of tho welfare association filed against the board for the purpose of obtaining a permanent injunction preventing the moves. The court action will be finally wiped from the slate today or Friday when William Bosson, association attorney', will appear in Superior Court 3, and receive official notice of the action of the board through school attorney Martin Hugg. It was announced Wednesday that R. B. Wilson, realtor, has made a proposal to the board to seff Arthur C. Newby property of seven and one-eighth at the northwest corner of F.artieth and Meridian Sts. for the new school site. Price was $165,000. At the board meeting, April 37, the Shortridge situation will be discussed again.

POTASH -IN AVAILABLE Compounds Valuable for L'seas Fertilizer, Plentiful. Potash compounds, valuable for use in commercial fertilizers, are available in their natural state in various parts of Indiana, according to State Gociygist W. N. Logan. Principal sources of Indiana’s potash are the brine from deep wells, shales and flue dust. Since the Muantity of potash in brines and flue dusts is negligible, the shale deposits are regarded as the most abundant source. Shale outcrops are almost unlimited in the southern part of the State and are believed capable of development ‘ in case of a fertilizer shortage.
