Canal Urged if Water Deal Goes Through

Dr. Cable Also Proposes Bathing Beach on North

Bank of White River;

Action Expected Mon-

day on Investigation of Purchase.

Dr. Theodore Cable, Democratic City councilman, today proposed |:

that a super-speed highway be built on the bed of the Canal from Market St. to Broad Ripple in the event of purchase by the City of the In-

! dianapolis Water Co.

He also suggested the building of a bathing beach on the north bani of White River, between the trestle bridge and the Emmerichsville m.

Dr. Cable said the project could be carried out by the use of Fed-

eral funds. Dr. Cable said a conduit ®

along the side could be substituted for the canal. At the same time, it was indicated that the Council Monday night is expected to arrive at a satisfactory solution of investigation by the City of the possibility of purchase of the water company. The plan that the Council is expected to agree to, it was reported, would provide for a majority of members of the investigating body to be chosen from Council. These members would be supplemented by outside experts in finance and utility management.

Six-Point Program

Dr. Cable's proposals for the super-speed highway and the bathing beach were embodied in a sixpoint program which he urged that the present Council, or the next, ~ adopt in event of acquisition by the ~ City of the water company. The program, as proposed, follows: 1. Institution by the City of a purely scientific business management of the Water company. 2. Adoption. of a policy of savings by slashing administrative and executive salaries. 3. Retention of the present water rates for at least two years. 4. Adoption of a program for utilization of net revenue after fulfilling requirements of amortization. 5. Construction of a nonstop, subsurface, truck and passenger car highway from Market St. to Broad Ripple on the bed of the Canal. 6. Construction of a satisfactory bathing beach on the north bank of the White River between the trestle bridge and the Emrichsville Dam.

Proposed Investigation

Dr. Cable originally suggested to Council on Sept. 19 an investigation of the possibility of purchase. Acting on his suggestion, Council empowered its president, Edward B. Raub, to appoint an investigating committee. On Oct. 3, at its last meeting, the Council refused to accept Mr. Raub’s committee. Commenting today on his present proposals which he has offered as “future possibilities and policies,” Dr. Cable said: “I would never have suggested investigation. of the matter by the Council if I hadn’t thought acquisition of the water company would be a wonderful thing for the City. I still feel that way, and in the event that the City does eventually make the purchase, I have made these suggestions which I hope can be adopted.” Of the proposed super-speed highway, he said: “It can’t be very effectively argued that the City wouldn't profit by such a highway. As for financing it, PWA aid could be obtained for 45 per cent of the cost and the City could issue bonds for its share.

Could Use Canal Bed

“My idea is that the road could be built on the present bed of the

Canal as a -subsurface highway.|H

Several bridges could be eliminated _ and those remaining could be converted into crossovers. “As for the bathing beach, we need that too. The water could be

Company. The City should be careu tg : He said he thought the present rates should remain unchanged until the City studied whether it was advisable to lower them. On his suggestion for a program of utilization of net revenue, he advised the use of a portion “for establishing and maintaining a sound reserve,” part “to be applied for reduction of the tax levy,” and part to be used for “water rate reduction.” According to informed persons, the water company can be purchased at the present time for about $25,000,000 from the C. H. Geist estate, owner of the property. No price has been mentioned, however, by C. W. McNear, Chicago investment broker representing the Geist estate. Mr. McNear, who attended the last Council meeting, said the company should be acquired by the City “only if it can pay for itself out of its earnings.” Under the plan which he is prepared to present when the City is ready to investigate, Mr. McNear said the City could issue revenue bonds, to be retired over a 40-year period, for purchase of the utility.

GREENFIELD WOMAN NEAR 100-YEAR MARK

GREENFIELD, Oct. 14 (U. P.).— Recalling outstanding events of the past century today, Mrs. Rosetta Hamilton will observe her 100th birthday at the home of her son, Ben Hamilton, here Monday. In describing Hancock County as it looked a century ago, Mrs. Hamilton said: “Dense woods were everywhere, with only a few pioneer cabins and we had to cut notches in trees to find our way.” She remembers that James Whitcomb Riley and other boys often visited in her home when her family lived along Brandywine Creek. Mrs. Hamilton also recalls seeing Lincoln on three occasions. She has a daughter, Mrs. Ida Carr and two sons, J. C. Hamilton and G. C. Hamilton living in Indianapolis.

All Hope Abandoned By Doctors

ELMWOOD PARK, Ill, Oct. 14 (U. pP.).—Mary Ellen Reardon, who will pass her 205th - day of sleep on her third birthday Monday, eventually will recover, Mrs. Daniel Reardon, mother of the infant encephalitis victim, predicted today. Physicians have said there is no hope for the child, stricken with sleeping sickness after an attack of measles last March 25. “I know she will get well,” Mrs. ‘Reardon said. “Doctors said she would die last April when her temperature reached 10612, but she lived. I have .complete faith that my prayers will result in her recovery.” Mrs. Reardon said there has been no change in the child’s condition since a few tears from Mary Ellen's eyes aroused her hopes that a break ‘had come last month. The child takes orange juice and custard from a spoon. The only treatment is a massage and light therapy administered by Mrs. Reardon and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Mary Ellen Reardon.
