PROTESTS SET FOR JAN. 10 ON BASEBALL PARK Plan Commission Delays Ruling on North Side Site Plan. North side residents who object to the location of a baseball park south of Thirty-Eighth St., a boulevard, will appear before the city plan commission Jan. 10. The plan commission delayed ruling on a permit to build the $500,000 plant on the new site bounded by Monon railroad, Thirty-eighth St„ Kissel Ave. and Fairfield Ave. until after citizens have opportunity to present objections. Oscar F. Schmidt, former works board president, living on Fairfield Ave. near the proposed site, said a number of residents of the neighborhood were opposed and would appear before the park board. Daily McCoy, State purchasing agent, 1017 Thirty-Eighth St., also said his com|nunity has started a move to fight location of the park there. Slack Favors I,oration The north side location was offered after citizens protested an east side location. The park board took the petition to establish the ball park along the boulevard, under park jurisdiction, under consideration until Thursday. Baseball club officials presented plans to the park board Thursday. Mayor Slack told park board

Wordy ordinances not drawn in legal fashion will not pass the eye of Mayor L. Ert Slack. Slack, an attorney, today wrote a three page letter to city council explaining why he disapproved of an ordinance providing additional safety for elevators. Slack objected to the language in the ordinances, because it was not “good form” and contained unnecessary words and repeated the word “whereas” too frequently. He pointed out he had no serious objection to the provisions of the measure, but indicated it should be rewritten in the usual ordinance form. The letter said the text is not proper, contained the section which it proposed to amend, and was encumbered needlessly with a penalty clause which is provided in the building code. “All these things add to the cost of printing,” Slack declared.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PARK BOARD TO SLASH WAGES; COMBINE JOBS Strict Economy Compulsory Following Reduction of Budget. Consolidation of several park board positions and wholesale reductions in salaries probably will be ordered by the park board at a special meeting Tuesday night. Strict economy during 1928 was made compulsory by the reduction of the park levy from 9 cents to 514. Superintendent Walter Jarvis declared the department would be seriously handicapped under the reduction and very few improvements are considered during the year. The slash makes necessary a cut of $240,000 from the appropriations requested under the 9-cent rate. The low levy will bring in about $341,000 instead of $240,800. Combine Positions Michael E. Foley, board member, declared the department had never operated under a 7 cent levy and large reductions would be necessary. Recreation department budget for 1928 will be $97,000, requiring a cut of $32,000 from the anticipated returns. Appointment of Edward B. Raub, Jr., Democratic attorney, as park board counsel is expected. Raub will replace Park Attorney Telford Orbison and Recreation Attorney William T. Quillen, Republicans. Dismissal of Consulting Landscaper A. W. Brayton and several office aids is considered likely. Several positions will be combined. it was indicated salary cuts would not apply to laborers. Mayor to Hold Control Mayor L. Ert Slack will have control of the park board after its reorganization despite the refusal of Adolph G. Emhardt, Democrat, and Mrs. Mary Hoss, Republican, to give this resignation. The mayor has a vote in case of a deadlock. Two members of the board will be friendly to the administration.

Indiana Asphalt Company submitted a low bid of $47,695 on widening of Meridian St. between Sixteenth St. and Fall Creek. The bond issue was turned down some time ago because of the mayoralty controversy. Engineer J. E. Perry will analyze bids and submit recommendations to the board. LAW ‘FRAT’ IN SESSION A tour of Indianapolis was the feature of today's session of Sigma Delta Kappa, national intercollegiate law fraternity, in convention at the Lincoln. Governor Ed Jackson, Mayor L. Ert Slack and John W. Kern, United States commissioner, will speak tonight at a dinner. Officers will be named Saturday morning, and a New Year’s Eve party will be given in the Travertine room closing the convention.

Opera King’s . Widow Plans Club Venture

Tpns>) UISSr

Mrs. Oscar Hammerstein to Open Night Club in New York. Mrs. Oscar Hammerstein ..believes in liquorless night life. NEW YORK. Dec. 30.—The widow of Oscar Hammerstein, opera king, wants to follow in the footsteps of Texas Guinan and Mrs. Park Benjamin and become a night club hostess. Mrs. Hammerstein has advertised for a backer for her night club projects, the “Hammerstein Black Bottoms,” in New York and in Palm Beach. Her motive, she said, is to make a living.

Mrs. Hammerstein found herself penniless a few years after litigation with Hammerstein’s children over his estate. She became an entertainer in an Atlantic City night club, and now she is ready to come into New York—just as soon as the backer does his part. Mrs. Hammerstein makes no bow to the 400. “I don’t belong to New York so- | ciety,” sne ~aid. “There is no society In F w York. Money is king here. Anyone with a big enough bank roll can c ‘ash into this town. “The fine olf. families, the names that once stoed for real aristocracy and taste, aren’t heard of any longer.” "The club I propose will be for those who act like ladies and gentlemen and obey the laws of the country. There will be no liquor permitted. “Those who want to poison themselves and hide behind the locked door will find no welcome on my mat. Given a chance, I’m sure I can show New Yorkers that they don’t need liquor to have a good time. All I need is the cash.”

producers of straight-eights in the country. The 1928 program follows the success of last year when the company enjoyed its largest percentage of gain and increased nearly | three times its number of distribj utors and dealers. When Indianapolis was the home 1 of several automobile companies the city was regarded as second in im- : portance in the entire motor car industry. Yet in 1928 one local company, Marmon, will produce several times as many cars as were manufactured collectively by every automobile company in Indianapolis when a dozen or so factories were located here. As the first step in the expansion of the sales department, John Tainsh has been appointed sales manager in charge of the new regional offices in Chicago, New York, San Francisco. Atlanta. Kansas City and Indianapolis. H. H. Brooks, general sales director, continues over all sales branches. W. T. Young Jr. is assistant sales director. Detailed plans will be made known Tuesday and Wednesday when 1.500 distributors and dealers will meet here in convention. Sessions will be held Tuesday at the Murat Theater and at the Claypool Wednesday. Covers Four Blocks Plant 2, which w.U be placed in operation the first of the year, covers four city blocks and has been equipped with new machinery to enable .the company to manufacture straight-eights in quantity. The large Marmon Series 75 which the company has manufactured for years is being produced in Plant No. 1. on Kentucky Ave., where the milling machinery division formerly was located. At Plant 2 is a railroad siding accommodating nineteen freight cars which will enable material to be brought directly to the plant, eliminating storerooms. Modern machine shop equipment, assembly lines, enameling ovens and other machinery has been installed. Length of the assembly lines in the Marmon factory will be approximately 1,000 feet when the new plant is placed in operation.
