PIPED GAS PLAN DEALT GLOW BY STATE OFFICIAL ‘Can Not Compete With Home Manufacture/ Says Dr. Hewitt. Indianapolis manufacturers contentions to the contrary, natural gas piped from southern oil fields can not compete with Indiana coal in production of cheap power, it was asserted today by Dr. John W. Hewitt, secretary of the Indiana coal bureau at the Statehouse. Dr. Hewitt has compiled a complete chart of comparative figures showing the B. T. U. content of natural gas and Indiana coal. He prepared to introduce the figures at the hearing before the public service commisison Thursday. But the hearing has been postponed until Aug. 12. It is on the petition of the Manufacturers Natural Gas Association, Inc., to introduce natural gas here and break the monopoly of the Citizens Gas Company at a time when the latter company is about to become municipally owned. Chairman John W. McCardle, who was to have conducted the hearing, announced that it had been postponed by agreement. The objectors are the city, utility district trustees and the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs. Dr. Hewitt’s table gives $2.25 a ton as the average price for Indiana Power coal, which will produce 23,000,000 B. T. u. per ton. This would mean that the gas must be sold at 8.8 cents per 1,000 cubic feet to compete, he said This is cheaper than it can be had at the wells, Hewitt contends, let alone piping it hundreds of miles to Indianapolis. His figures, he explained, are taken from the United States bureau of standards and Purdue testing laboratories.

THEY TELL ME

BY BEN STERN npHE red banner of revolt has been unfurled to the breeze in the Marion county Democratic organization. The cause? You guessed right. It’s patronage. As has been declared time after time, the job trough causes more internal strife than any other single factor. Now along come Louis Wolverton, Nineteenth precinct Tenth ward committeeman; J. J. McGovern, Twenty-third precinct Tenth ward committeeman, and Chris Hoffman, former city hall custodian and aspirant for the nomination for county commissioner in 1930, with an attempt to organize the committeemen. The bone of contention is that their patronage requests were not heeded. tt tt tt Here is their call to arms which was mailed to each committeeman GROUPS NAMED FOB DEDICATION C. of C. Preparing for Airport Rites. Committees to arrange plans for dedication of the new municipal airport Sept. 25, 26 and 27 were announced today by Louis J. Borinstein, Chamber of Commerce president. Because the city legally is unable to finance the dedication program, the chamber is underwriting expenses. Officials are negotiating with Representative Louis Ludlow and with Senators James E. Watson and Arthur R. Robinson in an effort to obtain 140 army, navy and marine pilots here for the dedication. Also efforts will be made to bring the gigantic new navy dirigible Akron here if it is ready for a trial flight by that time. Committee chairmen, headed by Mayor Reginald H.

and vice committeewoman together with a postal card; “We think it is about time that we who really do the work in elections have something to say about the distribution of patronage. Ward chairmen are appointees of the county chairman and while we have no particular criticism to offer regarding the holders of these offices, we do not feel that we, as elected officers, have received the proper credit for the winnig of the election. “This is the time for precinct committeemen and women to get together.

It’s a peculiar thing that the Democrats can never stand pros-perity-past history of the party proves this. No matter how roseate are prospects for a victory, the Democrats seem to find some way to lose. And the easiest way is internal dissension. fOrdde $'7C CHICAGO l D BUFFALO (Niagara Falls) and return Including Meals and Berth S. S. Tkmestx Sul mg every Monday n P. M.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

AFFIRM STAND ON MARRIAGE BY JEACHERS School Board Again Sets Out Attitude Toward Employment. Reaffirmation of the Indianapolis school board stand on the employment of married teachers voted at a meeting Tuesday night when the statement of policy adopted May 12 was readopted, with some slight changes, in phraseology suggested by the board’s attorneys. This program practically is identical with the one previously adopted and provides that married women will not be recommended for initial employment. “Teachers married or unmarried, whether permanent teachers under tenure or teaching their first five years, whose records are continuously unsatisfactory will not be recommented for retention after this fact has been conclusively established.” Women teachers who marry within the first five years of their teaching experience will not be recommended for reappointment- It is felt, the resolution said, that it is against the best interests of the schools for husband and wife to teach in the same building or system. The board approved a plan for reducing the cost of textbooks to pupils in elementary schools next year by from I to 11 cents a copy. This is to be accomplished by lowering the handling costs which totaled $4,800 last year. The school city received approximately $60,000 from books and made a gross profit of $9,060. The profit of 15 per cent will be reduced to 8 per cent, A. B. Good, business manager, said. A resolution for a temporary loan of $75,000 for the special fund pending receipt of taxes was passed by the board under suspension of the rules. Captain F. F. McCrea was reappointed military supply officer with a salary of $2,400 annually.

FIRE STATION 1 SITE APPROVED Zoning Board Overrules Protests at Hearing. Overruling protests of adjacent property owners, the zoning appeals board late Tuesday granted permission to the safety board to locate a fire station at 5545 North Illinois street. The safety board withdrew an alternate petition for location of the station at 4579 North Illinois street. Both sites drew protest from north side citizens. Suggestion that the station should be located in the Fairview section west of Boulevard place was made at the hearing Tuesday by William Bosson, representing the ButlerFairview Civic League. The safety board plans to locate another new station probably at Central avenue near Eleventh street, and a third new engine house at Morris and Harding streets on site of an abandoned station.
