POPULATION OF CITY GOING UP 12,000 YEARLY Real Estate Men Report Rapid Growth and Good ; Rental Conditions. ' Indianapolis is showing an average annual increase in population of 12,000. This was the report made by Edson T. Wood„;of L. M. Brown Abstract Cos., before the Indianapolis Real Estate Board at a luncheon Thursday at the Chamber of Commerce. Edson' said his figures were based on a careful survey. New apartment buildings and modern homes are springing up over the city at a satisfactory rate, Frank L. Thomas of the Union Trust Cos., rental department, stated. “It is true that there are a number of homes in the city which it is difficult to rent ” Thomas said. “These, however, are for the most part, older houses, 90 per cent of which are not modern, many of them still having gas lights. * Fair Rent Solution “The best solution for this particular problem, I believe, is to set a fair rental rate and to modernize these homes.” False reports as to the number of untenanted homes and apartment houses have tended somewhat to discourage investors, Oliver H. Clark of J. G. McCullough Agency said. “As an example of how such reports originate, I cite the out-of-town business man with a factory proposition, who made the statement to me, that there were 20,000 vacant homes here,” he stated. Remarkable Calculation “When I inquired as to his source of information, he explained that Indianapolis extends fifty blocks east, south, west and north, that thqre were two empty homes to the block, thus making a total of 20,000.” Clark stated that in his opinion Indianapolis reached the peak of rental vacancies six months ago, with 10 per cent less vacancies today than on Jan. 1, 1927. Rental prices of vacant homes and apartments have been reduced about 20 per cent, some rented property being reduced also, but the general average reduction has not been than 10 per cenc, he added. MASONS STOP MEETING At a meeting of Keystone Chapter No. 6, Royal Arch Masons, Tuesday night, it was decided to discontinue regular meetings until September 6. Meetings will be held the first Tuesday of each month after that date. Candidates will be exalted at the September meeting.

Alimony Office Records Show It’s Men Who Pay

Marion County Males Contribute $20,000 Each Month to Ex-Mates’ Aid. The man pays despite the timeworn adage that “the woman pays and pays and pays,” records of the Marion county alihiony and support office actually prove the former statement. During 1926, males paid $242,243.74 to support former spouses and their children, John Roessner, clerk, said. For the first three months of this year, $62,315.02 was paid in and in the next three, up to June 30, another $63,813 was paid. „ From $5 to $240 a Month The smallest support money is paid by a father for the care of hi* 15-year-old son—sl.2s weekly. -The highest is s2>o a month paid to the former wife of a city official. “From the men we hear hard luck stories letting us know in detail how hard it is to get the money to

Eager to Explain Situation “When we tell them there is nothing on the books, they look as though they think this office is pocketing the money. “Not a day goes past but some woman or man leans over the counter to tell how family relations were severed. And each of them will tell you that he, or she, made the most efforts to bring about a reconciliation. DIVIDE SCHOOL MONEY Marion County Gets $203,470 Under States ’ Apportionment.

CLUB OUTLINES\TRIP TO LAKE TIPPECANOE Route 31 Through Rochester Is 130 Miles A pleasant week-end trip to Lake Tippecanoe is suggested by the touring department of Hoosier Motor Club. The best route is as follows: From Indianapolis proceed north on Meridian St. and follow State Road 31 through Brpad Ripple, Nora, Carmel, Westfield, Kokomo. Peru to Rochester. The River Road —a county highway—from Rochester to Mentone; thence over a paved road to Palatine and Warsaw; north on 15 to ucesburg; east on a county road to Lake Tippecanoe. The distance is 130 miles. Pavement is complete between Indianapolis and Rochester except for two bridge run arounds. The road is very crooked between Rochester and Mentone. For a straightcr route keep north on 31 to seven miles north of Rochester thence east on a county line road to Mentone. The pavement parallels interurban tracks between Mentone and Warsaw; gravel and some* pavement is encountered to the Lake.
