LOCAL REQUEST ON FLOOD GATES

ky courty Board Says It wil Be . ‘Unable to Help White River Delegation.

Wearing more damaging spring ‘ods, a delegation of Ravenswood d Terrace Beach residents anunced today they would appeal ‘ectly to U. S. Army engineers at Juisville, Ky., for levees along hite River to protect their homes.

The delegation was informed by 1¢ Marion County Flood Control 3oard yesterday that it would be mpossible for the Board to alleviate the flood menace either by building levees or installing sluice gates in the Broad Ripple dam of the Indianapolis Water Co.

Members of the delegation said that they would request the Water Co. to install the gates if the levees could not be obtained. The gates would lower the river level when ! food waters were reported rushing { diown on the communities from Noblesville. The delegation met with the Mocd Board to learn what could

IN § ROBBERIES ON NORTH SIDE

Police Also: Link Former Reformatory Inmate to Other Burglaries. A 22-year-old man, who police

say has confessed to.six North Side robberies, was to be booked today on

|charges of burglary, auto banditry

and grand larceny. According to police, the prisoner, who is on parole from Indiana Reformatory, is suspected of at least 15 other burglaries. He was arrested March 17 when he attempted to pawn a stolen watch at an Indiana Ave. shop, according ‘to Detective Sergeants George Gilby and Louis Fossati. He was sentenced to nine months on the Indiana State Farm in 1934 for vehicle taking. In 1935 he was sentenced to a one-to-ten year term at Pendleton for burglary and grand larceny and again sentenced in 1936 on .the same charge for the same term after being paroled. Detectives said he had admitted breaking into homes at: 1715 N. Pennsylvania St, Feb. 1, where money and jewelry was stolen; 2045

Board Helpless, Is Claim

| As phrased by Charles E. Jefferon, Board member, the Board's anwer. was: | “Frankly, we're helpless to do anyhing for you. As the matter now tands, providing flood relief for ur communities is beyond our isdiction.” {M. G. Johnson, Board president, tplained that levees could not be iilt out of War Department or PA funds unless the river at Raviswood was widened from 370 to b feet. Members of the delegation dered this is impossible since any residences are built close to e river banks and would have to | removed if the river were wid-

ed. Constructing sluice gates in the toad Ripple dam,” Mr. Johnson id, “is out of our jurisdiction. The puter Co. took over the rights to

arms—Suburban

that dam when it purchased it from tne State. Those rights which were granted in 1837 provided for the flooding of the land to the north— which is now your property.” Paul Pegg, Ravenswood Town Board chairman, asserted that in the century since the rights were granted, the character of the land had changed from vacant woodland to residential property. He contended, therefore, that the rights could be challenged. y “Flood gates in the dam would give us permanent relief,” he said. “If the river had been lowered only four feet last week, we would never have been flooded. Couldn’t you do something to give us relief that way?”
