tw o companions and was drowned. Plant, an amateur flier, was the third drowning victim in Marion county this week and the eleventh this year. He was in the water an hour and a half before Francis Hodges, Marion county Red Cross life-saving director, reached the body by diving. His knees, raw

from working over Jack Shaffer, Broad Ripple life guard, who drowned in the pool at Broad Ripple Monday, Hodges knelt over Plant and worked more than an hour attempting artificial respiration, but there was little hope from the start that the victim would be revived. Was His First Trip Plant went to the lake with Norman Reid, garage operator at 877 Massachusetts avenue; Ralph Biddle, 26, employe of Reid, and Gayne Ward, 20, of 2449 North Pennsylvania street. They had gone to the pond nightly for some time but it was Plant’* first trip. He was first in, swam to the center of the lake, and shouted to his friends to “come on, it's nice and cool.” A few minutes later he had disappeared in twelve feet of water, apparently the victim of a cramp. Plant, originally from Massachusetts, was manager of the Willis fish market and began flying a few years ago, owning his own small airplane.

STEEG DEFENDS PROCEDURE UF ZONING BOARD Realtor’s Subcommittee Is Preparing Report for Its Directors. Subcommittee of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board today was prepamig a report to directors following a conference Tuesday afternoon with city plan commissioners on recommendations of the realtors for reforming plan commission and zoning appeals board procedure. Denial of the charge that zoning appeals are decided in private session and in advance of public hearings, was made by commission members. Much criticism has been expressed in the past because of the group meeting privately as the plan commission, then emerging from the back room to conduct public hearings as the zoning appeals board. H. B. Steeg, plan commission sec-retary-engineer, said that the commission merely studied the facts from a city plan commission point of view in the back room, and members frequently changed their minds during the hearing. :< The fact that so few cases are decided unanimously and that many times hearings end in tie votes disproves the charge,” Steeg said. “Much of the criticism has been caused by lack of information which could be corrected by public statement of the true facts,” he added. Answering suggestion of the realtors that separate plan commission and zoning appeals board members be named, instead of having the same members on both groups, as at present, Steeg said work of the

two groups is so closely allied that separation of the groups is not practical. Another suggestion that only members owning property assessed for more than $5,000 comprise the commission was answered by Steeg, who said the present personnel already comes under this classification. Commission members explained that every step possible to prevent delay in giving rulings on zoning appeals is being taken, as asked by the committee. Two other suggestions were studied, one asking study of zoning variations granted in the past nine years to determine if rezoning of the city is necessary, and the other that legal representation be limited to owners of real estate within 500 feet of property affected by the proposed change. The Real Estate Board was represented by Albert E. Uhl, president; Lawrence G. Holmes, executive secretary; C. G. Jacquart, committee chairman; J. J. Reilly and T. E. Grinslade.
