—Radio — TWO SURVEYS MADE TO FIND RABID TROUBLE Three Car Lines Seem to Be Main Sources of Interference. Radio interference in trvo different districts resulting from the same causes are reported in two petitions rent Tire Indianapolis Times radio interference engineer W. A. Jacoby. Three street car lines in this section of the city, the Prospect, Lexington and English avenue lines, have been cheeked by Jacoby and found t' be the grea'est offenders in this ocality. The first, petition is signed by Raymond P Scott, 1420 Lexington avenue: Hugh J. Francisco, 1404 Lexington: Joseph W. Stark, 1404!; Lexington; Arthur Siedeman, 1416 Lexington; Joseph Born, 1456 Lexington; Oscar Carter, 1429 Lexington; Mrs. W. J. Kellogg, 1452 Lexington; Mrs. Charles L. Roby, 1409 Lexington Thomas J. Mars, 743 Laurel street; Roy L. Francisco, 1551 Hoyt avenue; Wallace Y. Ahl. 1545 Hovt. and Otto Hofer, 1603 Hoyt. Check on Lexington Ave. The check has been made a r ound the 1400 block on Lexington avenue to determine the nature of the trouble the fairs are having there. Several different types of interference were found in the last three Eights. One of the major interferences was found and has been eliminated. So the fans in this section should now be receiving the programs without so much unnecessary noises. Several small background noises, hard to trace to their origin, have not been found, due to the volume received by the major interference of this locality.
Another Petition Says: “We. the undersigned, owner of radio receiving sets, residing on the north side of Pleasant street between Spruce and State streets, are troubled with local interference at all times. Therefore, we petition the Indianapolis Power and Light company to inspect their arc lights, wires, etc. in this vicinity to determine the cause of this interference.” Several Are Signers ■£. w.
