BALL CLUB TO LET EAST SIDE r SETTLECLASH Officials Declare No Court Fight Will Be Waged to Force Through Park. BENEFIT TO COMMUNITY Planned to Donate $20,000 Strip for Widening of Thoroughfare. The Indianapolis Baseball Club will not fight east side residents if a majority of them oppose erection of the proposed $500,000 baseball park between E. Washington and New York Sts. and Keystone and Tacoma Aves., club officials declared today. “We are merely asking to be allowed to spend a half million dollars to build a beautiful home for the champion baseball team we expect to devleop for Indianapolis. We had not anticipated an organized effort to prevent our getting a building permit because the entrance of the proposed park is less than 300 feet from the Panhandle railroad shops and yards,” James A. Perry, club president, said. “We want above all the good will of the public and to abide by law. The zoning commission has the whole matter in its hands. Only Fifty-Five Property Owners “I understand there are but fiftyfive abutting property owners who have a legal right to object and if these fifty-five want to prevent the other 350,000 Indianapolis residents from having a real baseball stadium, there is nothing we can do about it. “We certainly won’t enter into expensive litigation for the privilege of spending the amount of money we expect to spend,” Perry said. “If east side residents object, we will try to build the new ball park on another site on which we have options. If residents in that locality object, we will abandon the project. Boost to Community “We feel a ball park would boost the community. The club also plans to donate a seventy-five-foot strip of land along E. New York St. between Tacoma and Keystone Aves., worth $15,000 to $20,000, for widening of the street. This will be a big community improvement. “We use the ball park only 175 hours of the year out of the approximate 9,000 total, and we do not feel this would annoy residents.” East side citizens are to meet tonight at the Englewood Christian Church community house, N. Rural St., to discuss both sides of the question. Opponents of the proposed park plan to obtain signers to a remonstrance against the project. The city zoning board will consider the ball park location Nov. 10 Other Projects Up Home owners who feel that this section of the city has been slighted in the matter of community improvements in recent years plan to take advantage of the spirit aroused in certain quarters and take up several community projects which have been dormant for some time, according to Mrs. H. W. Magee, 301 N. Tacoma Ave., East Side Civic League member. s The ball park fight will be extended to an attempt to open Ohio St., from Hendricks PI to Pleasant Run Blvd. or Emerson Ave.; to re-

CHANGE URGED IN CHOICE OF SCHOOL BOARD Appointment by Judges of County is One Plan Recommended. of the proper type for school board members find It distasteful to get into politics and consequently seldom are ' candidates/* W. D. Allison declared at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce education committee Wednesday. The meeting was to consider three suggested new plans of electinfr school commissioners. Two of the plans would provide for a board of nine members serving six years, one recommending election and the other appointment by Marion County judges. The third provided for five members appointed by judges, serving five years, one new member being appointed each year. Allison, who served as a school commissioner several years ago, said he believed the city would be saved thousands of dollars annually if school commissioners, appointed by judges and not forced to seek office, should be paid salaries Just as other officials, and be required to devote most of their time to the work. “To be elected school commissioner, a candidate finds it practically necessary to get the active support of architects, engineers and material firms, promisini them patronage if elected,” he s id. The school board selection subcommittee, headed by James W. Putnam, reported that a number of cities of approximately the same size as Indianapolis have commissioners appointed by judges and find the system most satisfactory. Putnam said investigation showed most cities of this size have from seven to sixteen school commissioners, taking office at regular intervals.
