SCHOOL FUND TRANSFER MAY BE PROTESTED

C. of C. to Fight Alleged Move to Take Care of Illegal Deal. Proposed appropriation of $34,915 by the school board from the special fund to the Shortrldge high school building fund, to legalize alleged Illegal transfer of the money without an appropriation several months ago, may be protested to the state tax board by the Chamber of Commerce civic affairs committee, It was learned todayThe sum to be transferred, it is reported, represents an alleged Illegal payment to Freyn Brothers, contractors who Installed the C. C. Shipp direct-indirect heating and ventilating system in the school. C. C. York, school business director, has set public hearing on the appropriation for Nov. 13. More Paid Out In connection with the alleged illegal transaction, William H. Book, chamber civic affairs director, pointed out that, according to figures of Frank L. Relssner, school secretary, a total of $1,304,355 has been paid out for the new Shortridge building, whereas the bond issue for the building was only >1,200,000. It was asserted that a large part of the $104,355 above the bond issue may have been paid out of the special fund in the same alleged illegal manner. Sterling R. Holt, city controller, has notified school officials that he will not honor any more school vouchers without evidence of a formal transfer having been made. Os the $1,304,355 expended thus far for Shortrldge, $103,500, or a total of 8.6 per cent, represents architect's fees, Book said.

Voted for Discard In May. 1926, the school board voted to discard Shortrldge plans, costing $43,775, which the previous board had approved and had sought and received construction bids, “because plans called for a $1,200,000 building, whereas it could be constructed with the same number of rooms for $1,000,000. The original plans, drawn by Kopf A Wooling, now Kopf & Deery, did not contain specifications for the C. C. Shipp direct-indirect heating and ventilating system, and the same firm was employed to prepare new plans specifying this system. School board members, in commenting on the $34,915 alleged illegal transfer, pointed out it was an oversight resulting from the fact that total bids for the building exceeded proceeds from the bond issue. Instead of cutting out part of the work, it was decided to authorize contractors to go ahead with the work and pay the difference from the special fund, it was declared.

IF we fail to make this man our Mayor 11 lets never again talk about a Business Administration for Indianapolis

A Work Record of a Civic Leader Whenever and wherever there is ft 810 job to be done for the public good, Indianapolis hag a habit of calling on Alfred M. Glossbrenner. Here are just a few of the tasks for which he has been drafted: When Liberty Loan subscriptions lagged. It was Glossbrenner who was drafted as the chairman, organized, systematized, breathed new confidence and enthusiasm into the workers, turned failure into an over-subscription. And again, when Indianapolis wanted the greatest home-coming In history to honor her gallant soldiers. It was Glossbrenner who was drafted to the lead and planned a celebration that will be long remembered. Mr. Glossbrenner founded the Vocational School of Printing in the Winona Technical Institute at the United States Arsenal Grounds in Indianapolis in 1906 and obtained money for its operation. When the Institute - failed, be continued the School of Printing, part of the time at his own expense, and thus held the grant from the Government for use of the grounds for a technical school until money was raised, partly by popular subscription, for the purchase of the grounds byithe Indianapolis School City. Had It not been for the action of Mr. Glossbrenner this manificent property, now Technical High School, would have been lost to the city. Mr. Glossbrenner has served with distinction as president of the Indianapolis Board of Trade: as executive committeeman of the Indiana Manufacturers Association: is a member of the board of governors of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, and is a guiding influence in business and public affairs. • Starting as a newsboy, Alfred M. Glossbrenner has climbed steadily stpp by step to the presidency of the Levey Printing, Company, an outstanding Indianapolis institution. Within hi's .industry he has served'the United Typothetae of America as a treasurer, as vice-president and as president. , With Mrs. Glossbrenner be has reared a family of three sons, all now associated with him in business. Each was educated in the Indianapolis public schools. In the forty-seven years that he has lived and worked In Indianapolis, Mr. Glossbrenner has never sat on tfce side-lines when there was work to be done. It is this man whom YOU now are privileged to make YOUR mayor—by your vote November 5.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The biggest job in Indianapolis has reached out after one of the biggest men in Indiana. Endorsed by business leaders, and urged by a strong sense of Civic duty, Alfred M. Glossbrenner has been drafted a candidate for the office of Mayor of Indianapolis. Here is an able, independent, fearless man who bears no price tag. His record stands for ALL to read. Struggling from humble beginnings, Glossbrenner has risen to a position of high standing in Indianapolis. He has made name and record right here in Hoosier capital. He knows Indianapolis. Knows its perplexing problems. Knows its glorious possibilities. Here is the answer to our plea for “a business administration.” Alfred M. Glossbrenner has demonstrated his ability to manage men, and to conduct a big business soundly and successfully. Now he accepts an opportunity for greater service—to give that ability to the city government. Let’s look at it this way: If, in the coining election we fail to make Alfred M. Glossbrenner our mayor, is it probable that we can, within the next decade, induce an equally able, intelligent and unhampered business man to risk the ridicule and humiliation of becoming a candidate? Did we really mean it when we asked for a business* administration? Does Indianapolis truly seek an assurance of able government and strictly non-partisan law-enforcement; an insurance against “racketeering” and the kindred ills of lawlessness? The answer will be written in the records on the second Tuesday in November. Vote. Vote early. Cast your vote for unfettered business management—Glossbrenner.

These men, standing for much in this community, were among many who petitioned Mr. Glossbrenner to accept the Republican nomination. Read: IRVING W. LEMAUX, President Security Trust Company OBIE J.
