Entered 23 Places on North Side; Failed to Dispose Of $1000 Loot.

Two 17-year-old boys admitted in Criminal Court today that they had burglarized 23 North Side homes and stores “because we didn’t have anything else tc do.” ’ One of them said he had never attempted to get a job to fill in his time, and both said they had applied for admission to a CCC camp | and were “whiling away their time” in crime while they awaited a reply. | They made no effort to dispose of | valuables worth about $1000 taken | from the homes and said they never had intended to steal for profit— only for the thrill. | Police said most of the articles stolen were recovered in the homes | of the boys, including a $100 meat | slicer taken from a grocery. Judge Dewey Myers sentenced | each of them to a year on the State | Farm.

The announcement followed the proposal of West Side civie clubs yesterday that the City purchase 130 acres of abandoned Indianapolis

Board to purchase the Big Eagle Creek site. The proposed site is a long, nar- | row strip extending a mile north | and south and is one-fourth mile | at its widest point. Near the south end, is a large gravel pit which could be developed into a swimming pool, Dr. Hemphill said. He emphasized the necessity of playground space for children and predicted the entire Southwest area would benefit by a park-playground. The delegation also proposed that the banks of the Creek which they said are used as dumping grounds could be beautified in connection with the proposed park project. As an alternative to this tract, the delegation said that a 43-acre piece of land between Minnesota

road tracks also would be adequate. Members said they favored, however, the 130-acre strip, part of which could be made into a Negro

TRUCK TIRE TAX SUIT DISMISSAL ASKEDBY STATE

Motion Charges U. S. Court ‘Lacks Jurisdiction in Tilley Case.

A motion to dismiss an Indianapolis truck driver's suit seeking to restrain the State from enforcing the Truck Tire Tax Law was filed by the State before a three-judge tribunal in Federal Court here today. The plaintiff was instructed to fle his brief Monday. The State’s brief is due Tuesday after which the tribunal will rule on the motion. The hearing was recessed until today’s motion is decided upon. It was based on the contention that Federal Court has no jurisdiction in the action because it seeks to restrain the State from collecting State taxes. The State claims also that the law has been upheld by the Indiana Supreme Court three times and that the proper procedure is to appeal one of those decisions to the United States Supreme Court.

The suit, filed by Ralph Tilley, 219 E. 10th St., asks for a temporary injunction, a permanent injunction and attacks the constitutionality of the statute. Mr. Tilley’s suit maintains the tax imposes a burden on interstate commerce because the license fee charged—from $2 to $75 depending on the size of the tires used—is greater than the cost of building and maintaining roads and of policing traffic. The fees are not based on the amount of depreciation to the highways, it is alleged, but are arbitrary impositions which are “unjust, unfair and unreasonable.” It is fur{ther maintained that the fees are | not apportioned properly between {interstate and intrastate traffic.
