- TOWNSEND SAYS HOUSE CRIPPLED STATE DIVISIONS

Claims Budget Slashes May Cost People $1,500,000 In Insurance Policies.

Governor Townsend today had blamed the “irresponsible leadership” of the lower House of the Legislature for “crippling several departments of the State Government.” At a meeting of the Indiana Democratic Club yesterday, the Governor said budget slashes made by the Republican-controlled House “may cost the people of Indiana $1,500,000 in insurance premiums in the next few years.”

Blames G. O. P. Leaders

“We have discovered that the irresponsible leadership of the House failed to appropriate any funds for the Statistics Division of the State Insurance Department,” he said. “This department, by keeping annual statistics on insurance, has caused a 28 per cent reduction in premiums.” Mr. Townsend also blamed the G. O. P. House leaders for ‘“seriously crippling the State Highway Department.” “The unwise budget cut forced us to abandon the public safety program in the Highway Department and slashed some important salaries,” he said.

Reports Party Harmony

“The Legislature made some grievous errors but the public will see that they are corrected eventually as the public always does.” The Governor asserted that he believed harmony prevails throughout the Democratic Party in Indiana and that the “party is in fine shape all over the State.”

J8TH-SHERMAN RESIDENTS ‘WIN’

Zoning Board Denies Plea For Commergial Site After Protests.

A group of property owners in the vicinity of 38th St. and Sherman Dr. today were successful in preventing what they termed an “invasion” of their neighborhood by commercial property. : The Zoning Board of Appeals, after hearing the group's protest yesterday denied the petition of George Seidensticker Jr. to erect a gasoline station on the corner. Board members commented on the eloquence of the protest made by Mrs. W. E. Wheeler, 3720 N. Sherman Dr. who was spokesman.

Speaks for Residences

Board members said it was up to City Council to notify the property owners of any zoning change.

14 Requests Granted

Wurster to erect a fourfamily apartment at 1204-12 E. 59th St.; and three persons to operate outdoor sales lots. The Board postponed the request of Jesse C. Moore to install four 15,000 gallon gasoline tanks at 421-39 W. 18th St.
