STRESSESNEED OF $600,000 TO ERECTBRIDGES Engineer Says Millions Must Be Spent for City Sewers. Need for city bridge improvements costing about $600,000 and a city-wide sewer survey has been pointed out to Mayor L. Ert Slack’s cabinet by City Engineer A. H. Moore. Moore pointed out the rapid growth of the city has made the present sewer system inadequate, requiring a number of improvements. He declared the sewers and drains are based on a survey of Rudolph Herring of New York, made in 1392. “Herring estimated at that time that the city’s population in 1920 would be 243,547. The actual population was 314,000,” Moore said. Planning for Future The problem has become a serious one demanding that a survey should be started as soon as possible. Remedy of the situation will cost the city millions of dollars in bonds or taxation. “Sewers and interceptors now being constructed by the engineering and sanitary departments are being designed for a population of more than 400,000 in 1930. more than 500,000 in 1940, 610,000 in 1950, and 730,000 in 1960.” The engineer said the department is working on plans to serve the Pogues Run and Thirty-Eighth St. districts, northeast of the city, “Which should have been served with sewers years ago.” Proposed Extensions These extensions are proposed by Moore: Extension of Pogues Run interceptor, from Rural St. to Denny St. Pogues Run interceptor relief sewer, from Washington St. and Liberty St. to North and Dorman Sts. Ralston Ave. and Thirty-Fourth St. interceptor. It is contemplated to make the improvements through the city sanitary district by Issuance of $134,400 bonds. Pleasant Run main interceptor sewer costing $635,000, Forty-Second and Forty-Sixth St. main sewers are under construction. English Ave. sewer is being delayed by litigation. May Change Fall Creek Moore recommended immediate replacement of the Indiana Ave. bridge over Fall Creek and changing of the course of the stream. Negotiations are under way with the Indianapolis Water Company to acquire needed land. It is contemplated that a $300,000 bond- issue under the flood prevention act will be requested. Opening of Langsdale Ave. at Twenty-First St. to give the northwest part of the city an outlet to the east is contemplated making necessary the replacement of the present inadequate bridge over Fall Creek, costing about $150,000. A new span over the canal at TwentyFirst St. costing $40,000 is planned. Other bridge projects: Repair of Thirtieth and Central Ave. bridges, $15,000; new bridge at canal and Eleventh, $10,000; new Shelby St. bridge over Pleasant Run to cost $50,000; repair of W. New York St. bridge over White River. SCHOOL CHILDREN WD LINCOLN SHRINE FUND 15,266 Pupil, in City Schools Contribute In Drive.

DIPLOMATS SEE! HOOVER AS NEW WORLDJ.EADER Change in Foreign Policy Is Forecast From Message to Convention. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Foreign Editor. Srripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON. June 16.—The nomination of Herbert Hoover by the Republican party at Kansas City is regarded in diplomatic circles here as the most significant event which has.taken place in the United States since the World War. Nominated as he was by the part; - , regarded as “isolationist” since i9iu, foreign observers look upon the move as the first step in the direction of recapturing the leadership of the world. This leadership spontaneously fell to the United States the day the armistice was signed but was lost when Republicans and Democrats made a political football of the treaty of Versailles in 1920. Alert to Situation Not that anyone here is expecting Hoover to lead this country into the League of Nations or anything like that. But he is expected to evolve, some practicable plan whereby the Unitea States will be able to cooperate, in a leading capacity, with the rest of the nations for the betterment of all concerned. That HoVer is keenly alive to the moral and'material benefits to be reaped by' the American people through world leadership and understanding, appears unmistakably in his message to the Kansas City convention*. Said he: "Anew era and new forces have come into our economic life and our setting among the nations of the world. These forces demand of us constant study and effort if prosperity, peace and contentment shall be maintained.” Expect New Policy That this should have been the Republican candidate’s very first message to the delegates of the party which had just nominated him, is not lost upon observers here. As the pronouncement of a man who expects to become the next President of the United States it is accepted as a vital part of the nominee's pre-determined program and the foundation of anew national foreign policy in the event of his election next fall. Foreign observers have never ceased to assert that not only the people of the United States, but the world, generally lost much when foreign policies became the political shuttlecock of the two major parties.
