PROPOSED NEW DETENTION SITE IS RULED UNFIT Not Fireproof, Feeney Says; Board Offers $57,000 for Building. 80 anxious are the outgoing Marion County Commissioners to obtain anew Juvenile Detention Home Tor the county before the year expires that they are offering to pay $57,000, with the necessity of then spending SIO,OOO more for repairs, for property carried on the Center Township Assessor s books at a total value of $29,460. This situation was revealed today as the commissioners prepared to draft an ordinance authorizing the purchase of the property, the Celeste Apartments. 402 E. New York-st. The assessed value of the site of the apartments is $16,260: of the building itself. $13,200. The $29460 total is $2*7,450 less than the proposed purchase price of $57,000. Critics of the proposed purchase —and they have become both numerous and vociferous during the last week—point out that, with the present depressed condition of the real estate market, it is doubtful that the assessed value could be realeized in open sale. Opposed by Geckler With Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler already on record as opposing any "makeshift” home, badly as anew home and Juvenile Court quarters are needed, a further obstacle appeared in the way of the purchase yesterday when it became known that A1 G. Feeney, in his capacity as State Fire Marshal, had ruled that the building was unfit for such an institution. Mr. Feeney sent notice of his ruling to John Mann, commissioners’ president, in October after the building had been inspected Oct. 18 at the request of several interested citizens' groups. Indiana law requires that the State Fire Marshal must approve all public institutional buildings more than one story tall used for voluntary or forced detainment of inmates. “Our reason (for disapproval) is that it is not of fireproof construction and is three stories in height;’ Mr. Feeney wrote to Commissioner Mann. Mr. Feeney also disapproved buildings at 530 W. New York-st and on the northeast corner of Ohio and New Jersey-sts, both of which were also under consideration. Mr. Feeney’s ruling and Judge Geckler s expressed opinion seemed, however, not to disturb Mr. Mann and his fellow-commisioners, one of whom. Ernest Marker, retires Jan. 1. Mr. Mann said that the commissioners hoped to draft an ordinance in the immediate future and that he expected a special meeting of the County Council would be called within 10 days. Council to tK'lay Action Albert Deluse. Council President, said he had not been informed of such plans and added that he ; dcubted that Council would consider the propostion before next year. Juvenile Judge Geckler’s objections to the proposed building are based partially on his belief that its entire center would have to be ripped out to make it suitable for the home's purpose*. He said also that any new building would have to be fireproof, have provisions for a maximum of 100 children and have 67,000 feet of floor space for Juvenile Court and Judge Geckler's offices. The judge. Mrs. Anna Pickard. Detention Home Superintendent, and civic groups interested in juvenile welfare all are agreed that new quarters are needed. Mrs. Pickard has not inspected the proposed site and some of the civic groups are known to feel that it is not desirable. The owners of the property are listed as John F. and Celeste Barnhill.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

1937. was urged today by a committee of legislators and business men appointed by Gov. Paul V. McNutt to study state tax problems. The recommendation will be written into a law for presentation to the 1935 General Assembly which convenes Jan. 10. The bill also will provide a means for amortization of delinquent taxes over a 10-year period by making annual payments. Readoption of a constitutional amendment proposed by the 1933 Assembly to broaden the powers of I succeeding Legislatures in dealing with taxes also will be drafted into a bill for introduction in the 1935 Legislature. It will propose that the state constitution be changed to read, “the

Other taxation matters discussed by the committee included a proposal to make Barrett Law bonds taxable under the state intangibles tax and removal of property owned by religious, fraternal and educational Institutions but used in profit-making business from the tax exemption lists.
