$766,000 SPENT

FOR SEWERS IN CITY SINGE 1936

Largest Expenditure $500,000 for Disposal Plant; College Tube Finished.

With the completion. of the College Ave. sewer, Indianapolis will have spent approximately $766,000 for new sewers and sanitary plant | construction since 1936, a survey dis- | closed today. | The largest expenditure was in| 1936 when an addition to the City’s | Sanitary Disposal Plant was completed at a cost of $500,000. Another but smaller addition was completed recently at a cost of $41.000. Prompted by consistent and repeated demands for relief flooded streets and basements on the North Side the City Concil last year voted a $225.000 bond issue to finance sewer construction. $90,000 Spent About $90,000 of that has been | spent, according to statistics of the | City Engineer's office. A survey by the American Public Works Association discloses the expenditure of 136 million dollars in the nation marked a new yearly high in outlay for municipal sanitary facilities in 1938. “For the first 10 months of the year the combined works programs made allocations to a total of 1547 sewer systems with an estimated cost of $466,946,154 and to 197 combined water and sewer systems with an estimated cost of $234,805,611,”

City officials became aware of the inadequate sewer facilities last year when several downtown stores applied for permits to equip their buildings with air conditioning. Most widely used for air conditioning is the water method which entails the discharge into city sewers of thousands of gallons of water per hour.

CHECK ALIBIS AS 5 DENY GUILT IN TAPE ROBBERIES

Police Continue Questioning; Woman Reports Slugging By Two Men.

Police continued to question five suspects in recent central Indiana robhery-abductions today and began investigations into nearly a score of week-end crimes.

Loot valued at nearly $300 was reported taken in six holdups, a slugging, and two purse snatchings. Although the five men have denied any connections with recent abduction-robberies in Indianapolis and nearby communities, police said they were picked up on a “tip” and that they will continue to question them and check their alibis.

Woman Charges Beating Miss Ruby Jean Clark, 21, Eaton, 0O., who told police she was seeking employment in Indianapolis, said two men in a car last night robbed her of her money, and then beat her. Police said she had a black eye and a bruise on her head when they found her at the W. Ohio St. canal bridge. She was taken to the Theodora Home after she furnished police with the license number of the car. Earl F. Brake, 17, of 306 E. 11th St., clerk, told police a man bought a package of cigarets from him in the drug store at 932 N. Pennsylvania St.. and then looted the cash register of $40 and fled. A passenger on a trackless trolley produced a gun yesterday at the end of the line, 10th St. and Tibbs Ave., and robbed Fred Hobbs, 4337 E. 30th St., of $19 he told police. Pair Holds Up Station Two men entered the filling station at 2022 S. Belmont Ave. yesterday and robbed Melburn Hartzog, 1119 Tibbs Ave. of $18, he reported.
