DEPART BUDGET STUDY SET FOR TODAY

Council to Meet at 4 P. M. to Consider Safety Requests. Increases in salaries and other expenses asked by four of the five

divisions of the Safety Department are to be studied by the City Coun-

cil in its budget session at 4 p. m. | conf

today. Only in the Gamewell section is a decreased budget for 1937 requested, according to the appropriation bill. Decrease in Gamewell department request is caused by transfer of four operators to the fire department pay roll, according to Thomas Heafling, superintendent. The actual pay roll of remaining employes is increased approximately 7 per cent, he said. No decision on salary increases is expected until all budgets have been given a preliminary survey, Edward Raub, Council president indicated.

Scheduled for Today

Scheduled for study this afternoon are the budget requests of the dog pound, city market, gamewell section and refrigeration, weights and measures and administration. Police and fire department requests are to be studied at a separate session, Mr. Raub said. Increases of $2196 in the first four departments to be studied today are offset by a decrease of $9367 in the Gamewell section, budget shows. Salaries in the administration request have been increased $435, while the total department budget proposal is $2310 higher for 1937 than for 1936. The market and refrigeration request for next year is $1179 higher in salaries and $2539 more for the total request.

As $90 Increase

A salary increase of $90 for the

dog pound division is included in the $1205 total increase asked. Salaries account for $492 of the $567 tota] increase in the weights and measures division. . Councilmen have indicated a reluctance to approve the salary increases promised by Mayor Kern. When the need for two smoke inspectors in the building department were explained by George R. Popp Jr, department commissioner, only one councilman, Adolph Fritz, came. to his support. Councilmen Schumacher, Oren Kealing and Raub said they would not vote for this increase, although smoke abatement is favored by the administration. Salary increases, ‘explained by Mayor Kern at the opening budget session as restorations of 1932 pay oe average approximately 7% per cent.

approximately 150 and roads which are unnamed. This, and the 530 duplications in street names to be found around the county, leaves most strangers and many natives slightly

used, As might be expected, Main-st is the worst offender. There are 12

with nine entries for duplication. If you think you live on Meridianst, for instance, the City Plan Commission would want to know which of the four you refer to, but when you give an address on West-st, County Commissioners might feel free to ask if it is on any of the eight West-sts they know. Some of the other scores include: Forest, 5; Lincoln, 4; Michigan, 4; North, 5; Oak, 4; River, 5; Pleasant, 5; Highland, 5; Popl#®, 4; South, 3; Spring, 4; Winona, 4; White River, 4; Woodland, 8; Walnut 4, and Washington, 6. Many of these duplications, according to Val B. McLeay, city plan engineer, lie in surrounding towns where for sentimental reasons the town boards do not care to change. The County Commissioners are co-operating with the commission, however, and Mr. McLeay hopes everything is going to be all right n. Streets are to be renamed where there are duplications through ordinances to be presented to the council.

TESTS FOR DRIVERS ARRANGED FOR FAIR

Driving tests, designed to help motorists find their faults and correct them, are to be given during the Indiana State Fair by the Indiana State Police.

The tests were developed by Harvard and Yale University professors and have been used in safety campaigns in New York, Philadelphia and other cities. The tests include a meter that measures reaction and tells the driver how long it is before he acts in an emergency. Another test shows steering ability on winding roads; another susceptibility to headlight glare and still another the ability to estimate speed of other cars.
