CITY STRIVES FOR CHANGE IN LIGHT CONTRACT Engineer Moore to Discuss ‘Excess Cable’ Clause With Company. Feasibility of changing the t#n- ' ear street lighting contract with he Indianapolis Power and Light Company with the view of eliminating the “excess cable” charge, which 'mounts to about $40,000 annually, ill be discussed at a conference :th the power officials, City Enineer A. H Moore said today. Moore said the city plans to dismiss the 1929 lighting law with the ompany officials and that the "exH cable” clause in the old conraet, will be taken up. Moore declared the 10-cent a foot charge for cable on all street lights ’.’.ore than 100 feet apart, is unrea-l-able. The light company con- : "act provides for the 10-cent payment every year. The amount is radually increasing with the inallation of lights in newly de- ' eloped territories. “The clause is in the contract r.'id we nave to pay it the same as iv oMner light bill. T know of no - ,ch eharge in other cities,’ Moore =std. The contract expire; in 1935, but could be modified on agreement of both parties and approval of the ru’clic service commission, Moore declared. “The light company promised a conference last spring but nothing : has been done." The 1929 lighting law provides for installation of lights under the same procedure as street improvements, making necessary specifications, public hearings, advertising of bids and assessment rolls. If the public takes advantage of the new law to any great extent it j will necessitate establishment of an additional department in the engineering office, Moore pointed out in his 1930 budget request. The law' permits property owners to petition and pay for excess illumination. Oren S. Hack, city corporation counsel, has been asked for an opinion on the light statute.

RUNAWAY GIRLS INVENT STORY OF ABDUCTION Trio From Good Shepherd Home Admit Kidnaping Tale Is Hoax. Desire to be “somebody,” to have lived in a “big city” and to have had adventures caused three orphan children to tell a kidnaping story, it was revealed today by police, following an investigation of a report of J. W. Denham, onehalf mile west of Edgewood, when he found them asleep in tall grass near his home Tuesday night. The children. w r ho gave the names of Nettie, 13. Martha, 12. and Mary Bradley, 8. admitted today they were inmates of the House of Good Shepherd, Raymond street and the Bluff road. They were returned to the orphanage. The children, using the alias "Bradley,” left the orphanage Tuesday morning to ’see the w’orld.” Two of the girls are sisters, and to preserve the adopted family name of “Bradley” they took in their companion as a “’Bradley sister too.” When found near the Denham home they told him they had been kidnaped from their home in Cincinnati, O, by a “dark-complex-ioned woman in a big car.” Efforts to trace relatives of the children in Cincinnati proved fruitless and w'hen the children were questioned again they admitted their story was a “fib.” Nearly 700,000 spiders, it has been estimated, would be required to produce a pound of web. A single spider has been known to spin a thread 34.800 yards long.
