Works ‘Board Faces Court Fight on Elevation Project.

2 The development of the South Side, through track elevation and the construction of arterial high- " ways, will be one of the major 1939 considerations before the new City Works Board, City officials agreed today. The Board, which holds its first meeting tomorrow, is expected to turn its attention to the South East St. extension immediately. © Track elevation will be deferred pending court litigation by which ty is trying to compel the Indianapolis Union (Belt) Railroad to pay its share of the estimated $1,300,000 cost.

PWA Grant Lost

Should the court's ruling favor te City, officials say, the Board -and Mayor Sullivan will have to reek a new Federal grant for the project. A $450,000 PWA grant, made available last year was lost

when the refusal of the railroad to

pay a share of the cost prevented the City from beginning construction before the first of this year to meet the PWA requirements. . The expansion of Municipal airport, as a part of the nation’s aerohautical program, also will be on the agenda of the Board. Plans for a runway extension to the airport costing $860,033 in WPA funds were announced last week. { Meanwhile, the accomplishments pt the retiring Board had become |2 history today.

: Two Sewers Built

- During the past four years, the Board has undertaken 43 street improvements, some of which have been resurfacing, and 14 WPA paving projects to develop new thorbughfares. : . ‘Two major sewers have been built during the ‘last Board’s incumbency: the 34th St. sewer from Carrollton ‘ Ave. to Fall Creek and the 38th St. sewer, still in construction, from Ball Creek to Central Ave. < The annals of the past Board include the Municipal Airport Experiment Station and shop.and hangar building: and improvements to the City’s sanitation plant, which have Yyirtually doubled it in size. : Sanitation plant improvements included the installation of 32;“digesters,” which reduce: wastes to their component parts, at a cgst of ‘about $61,000; additions tc the sew‘age . treatment plant, which cost $526,000, and the renovation of primary settling tanks, which cost about $38,000, One of the former Board's chief projects, now approaching completion, is the widening of South East St. from South to Sanders Sts., as a major step toward providing the South Side with a through highway. When the street is extended through Garfield Park, the City will have its first through thorough-
