LESLIE SAYS FAREWELL TO LEGISLATURE Urges Continuation of His Policies: Reports on State Affairs. (Continued From Pape Onr) o' ded the state tax board, high-; v, y commission and conservation cif partment. Diversion of gasoline and auto- ! nr bile license revenues to local units v s upheld. He urged that the si •to highway program be confh ed largely to increased maintc- ! n: nee and that, construction be curta icd. State use of Indiana produces was advocated. ’olitics should be kept out of j t! bi-partisan institutional boards, 11 ■ Governor said. “Institutions at Peak” “It may be said truly, and with pardonable pride, that our institutional boards and institutions today r ■ at the peak, due to the high character, devotion to duty, sense of j if ponsibility and energetic, unselfish service of the personnel. Appointments have been made I consistently in the last four years with a view to the competent management of the institutions and to the assured veil-being of inmates of those institutions.” He warned of the danger of “false ' a ;nomy” in caring for wards of the | state. Praise was also bestowed by 1 the Governor upon the state’s part in poor relief. Rehabilitation of the executive mansion was termed “economical” j and has been done "in such a way ; as to reflect, credit upon the state.” j Leslie stated. Washing and dust- j ing the statehouse was also defended by the Governor. Leslie urged attention be given to ! the banking survey report. As to , maintenance of the state’s military, j Leslie said: “The Indiana national guard should be kept at its present peak j of efficiency. It has demonstrated j in convincing fashion its emergency } value.” He predicted that Hie pledge of co-operation between executive and | legislative brandies of the new administration “promises w'ell for constructive results.” “The majority spoke in no uncertain terms on Nov. 8,” he concluded. “The vote carried admonition, instruction and summons to duty. It was not merely a party vote. It was not merely a vote of confidence. It was a mandate, sending replacements to the front line lor extraor- j dinary duty. That mandate should > be regarded as marching orders I rather than an indorsement of any j political party. “Confidence may be forfeited by ; a political party before it has been j fairly earned. The political pendulum swings both ways,” he declared. Crawford Named Speaker Secretary of State Frank Mayr Jr. presided during the organization period in the house, while Representative Earl Crawford (De-m.. Mil- | ton* was elected speaker. Other house and senate posts were filled j as scheduled at the Democratic! caucus Wednesday night.

COUNTY MERGER Bill PROPOSED Seeks to Establish 23 Judicial Districts as Economy Step. Support of the Marion county legislative delegation for a proposed bill combining forty-nine counties into twenty-three judicial districts as an economy step will be sought by Willis E. Gill, former representative and Putnam county auditor. Gill has submitted his plan to the Indianapolis and Indiana State Chambers of Commerce, and to various tax reduction groups for consideration. He pointed out that Monroe and Owen counties are able to function satisfactorily with one joint circuit judge, and that the same thing is being done in Jackson and Lawrence counties. Using the Monroe and Owen judicial district as a basis, Gill has arranged a proposed grouping of counties with relatively equal population and number of cases filed annually, which would mean a savings of about $138,000 a year to the state and counties. The combinations: Clay and Putnam; Park and Vermillion; Warren and Benton; Fountain and Montgomery; White and Carroll; Cass and Miami; Blackford and Jay; Fayette and Rush; Bartholomew and Shelby; Clark and Floyd; Adams and Wells; Fulton and. Wabash; Kosciusko and Marshall; Hendricks and Morgan; Posey and Gibson; Decatur, Franklin and Union; La Grange, De Kalb and Steuben; Hancock and Hamilton; Howard and Tipton; Spencer, Perry and Warwick; Henry and Randolph; Boone and Clinton, and Green and Sullivan.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CITY CONSIDERS! PROPOSAL FOR NATURAL GAS Cincinnati Firm Presents Plan to Augment Supply of Artificial Product. Introduction here of natural gas is being considered by city officials to augment the output of manufactured gas of the Citizens Gas Company. it was announced today by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan. The plan would save consumers half a million dollars the first year it is claimed. Decision on the plan will not be made for some time, the mayor said, because of the intricate questions involved. Offer of the natural gas was made by Westheimcr and Company of Cincinnati. The concern would supply a minimum of 250.000.000 cubic feet, obtained from the Mis-souri-Kansas Pipe Line Company at a rate of 40 cents a 1,000 cubic feet for the first 150,000,000 cubic feet. Rate for more gas would be scaled down so that the city would pay 30 cents a 1,000 cubic feet for all over 400,000,000 cubic feet. Several Angles Studied Questions outlined by Mayor Sullivan as involved in acceptance of the offer include: Possible effect on the Citizens Gas Company, which the city now is seeking to acquire through litigation; financial backing of the Westheimcr firm; legality of acquiring gas from the Missouri-Kansas Pipe Line Company, which is in the hands of receivers, and advisability of buying under a twelve-year contract, proposed by the Westheimer people. The natural gas would mix with the manufactured gas of the Citizens company, it was said, and would make possible a lower rate to the consumers. Manufacture of coke and other by-products by the local concern would meet with no interference, it was claimed. Financial backing of Westheimer & Cos. appears to be sufficient, the mayor said. However, he declared that he will give more study to this angle. Contract Is Problem Also to be examined is the legal position of the receivers of the pipe line company in letting a long term contract. Mayor Sullivan pointed out that should contracts be made, and later be found to be invalid, the city’s acquisition and operation of the Citizens company would be hampered seriously. Contract offered by Westheimer would be in force for twelve years, with the stimulation that the city might renew for eight more years. The city must study the contract in the light of better business conditions in prospect, as well as with an eye to the present situation, the mayor stated. Under the proposal, the gas would be delivered at an agreed point at the city limits within thirty days of the time the city received written notice that the fuel was ready for delivery. Rates Are Given Rates stated are 40 cents a 1,000 cubic feet for the first 150,000.000 cubic feet; 35 cents a 1000 cubic feet for the next 100,000,000 cubic feet; 32 V-j cents a 1,000 cubic feet for the next 150,000,000 cubic feet, and 30 cents a 1,000 cubic feet for all over 400.000.000 cubic feet. The fuel is to be measured at the point of delivery, and the volume to be corrected to 6 degrees Fahrenheit and eight ounces above 14.4 inches barometric pressure. Average barometric pressure in Indianapolis is 29.15 inches.
