TRACK ELEVATION MAY START SOON AT RIVER BRIDGE Project Awaits Engineers’ Survey Approval by Commissioners. Belt railroad track elevation program, contemplated in this city for several years, will be started at the Morris St. White river bridge, it was learned today, after county officials prepared to inspect preliminary plans submitted by the city engineer, for the flood prevention work, which is to start soon. County commissioners are awaiting further plans and specifications on the proposed improvements, before approving the move. Divide Costs Under the plan the channel of the river will be widened and straightened, anew. bridge erected and a flood levee one and one-fourth mile in length will be constructed. The river will be widened to about 600 feet and the bridge will have an 800foot span. This will cost about 81,000,000. The county and city will each pay 45 per cent of the cost and property owners, with property abutting the location will pay 10 per cent of the cost. Indianapolis Union Railway officials planned to start the elevation project at the northern end of the railroad. South side civic associations objected, and it was promised the project would begin on the south. Complete Plans Asked County Auditor Harry Dunn said under the Morris St. bridge plan the elevation work will begin there and be carried each way from this point. Commissioners George Snider and Cassius I-logle said they will not approve the flood prevention matter until a complete set of plans are submitted. “The county will not spend any money on such work until the plan is set out clearly,” they said. In addition to the flood prevention expenditure the county must pay 12 per cent of the track elevation cost, the city 34 per cent, and the railway company the remaining 50 per cent.

PUBLIC BUILDING PLAN MAY MEET WITHJPPOSITION Senator McKellar, Tennessee, Thinks His State Was Slighted. By Roseoe B. Fleming, Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jn. 28.—The first note of opposition to the Administration’s big public building program, which may grow into a chorus of disapproval, was sounded late yesterday in the Senate. Senator McKellar of Tennessee served notice that he will oppose a bill now being considered in the House, which carries $100,000,000 additional for public buildings, “unless the treasury officials change their attitude.” “Does the Senator mean that an injustice is being done?” asked Senator Smoot. “I do, and unless it is corrected I hall make every effort possible to ’efeat the bill,’’ McKellar answered. He said later he was referring to the fact that recommendations for new buildings for Tennessee amount to only about $600,000 in a program which would cost $176,000,000 for the whole country. Other Southern Senators are known quietly to be studying the treasurypostoffice recommendations. It is expected that many of them, at least, will come to the same conclusion as McKellar. Nearly half the building program, as recommended, would be centered In three States —New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Other Northern States, such as Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, also are recommended for millions of dollars wortli of public buildings. McKellar said he had looked up the situation only as to Tennessee, but that he would study the whole program later. The original Elliott public buildings act, which passed last session carried recommendations for $165,000,000 worth of building, of which $50,000,000 was to be in the District of Columbia, $100,000,000 generally outside, and $15,000,000 for certain specific projects. Upon the statement of treasurypostal officials that $100,000,000 would not nearly complete the needed building in the country generally, a new House bill was introduced for $100,000,000 additional. It is this bill McKellar will oppose if, as predicted, it passes the House. INVENTS ‘JELLY BULLET’ Former Student Declares It Leaves Clean, Antiseptic Wound.
