CONSIDER PLAN | TOREPAIRCITY'S SEWER SYSTEM,

| Bond Issue’ Would Finance | Rebuilding of Downtown |.

’ 4 “ 2 3 2 AG plan to. rebuild part “of the downtqwn storm sewer system, most of which is. over 60 years old, is being considered by the Works Board. No estimate of the cost hos yet been made. If the plan is adopted, the Board will float a bond issue to finance the reconstruction, Louis C. Brandt, .Works Board president,

said’. He. aid the plan has been discussed’ as a means of providing the entire’ Mile Square area with. better’ drainage instead of constructing a new sewer.

Thorough Cleaning Proposed

Present drains would be widened in several congested sections and all drains would be thoroughly cleaned under the proposed plan. While few detailed records of early City sewers are available, data in the City Engineer's office show that the Washington St. sewer was built in 1860. The Senate Ave. drain was completed in 1894 and the Kentucky Ave. sewer was built soon after. '. A part of the Washington St. drain that would be. rebuilt ‘would be the section east of Pennsylvania St., which narrows from eight to seven and one-half feet in diameter. Original diameter of all sewers in the Mile Square area haye been reduced in capacity through accumulation of sediment” which has been caked against sewer walls by grease, accordirig to City Engineers.

1902 Last Big Project |

No sewer construction- has been : undertaken downtown since 1902. | Built to serve the Mile Square istrict: of almost four decades ago resent sewer diameters which ange from six and one-half to ight feet are now regarded as indequate by engineers. | In that period the entire charac-

%! North Side, were held up by gun-

isappeared, street and sidewalk rea has more than doubled and oof area has increased. | City Engineer M. G. Johnson has . estimated that between 80 and 85 per cent of all rainwater falling in the Mile Square drains girecily into Sewers.

PAWNBROKER LAW KTTAGKED IN SUIT

A sult attacking a 1937 City ordinance was, filed in Federal Court . today. The action was brought by Oscar | Alpert, 218 Indiana Ave. a pawn=-

"| broker, and T. Ernest Maholm, at-

| torney, against the City, Mayor Reginald Sullivan, the Safety Board and Police Chief Michael Morrissey. .The suit seeks to have an injunction and restraining ° order granted against enforcement of the ordinance which is to begin Monday “The suit states that “its sole pur-

pose is to promulgate some wild idea]

of crime prevention of Michael _. Morrissey, Superintendent of the Indianapolis Police Department, in his campaign of forceful finger-print-ing .and historical records to be handed do to posterity, and said Act is. only a cloak of police powers, attempted for the invasion of personal rights and private property and violates the fundamental rights secured by the Federal Constitution” . The ordinance in controversy regulates the hours pawnshops may remain open, prohibits pawnbrokers from taking goods from intoxicated persons or known thieves and requires pawnbrokers to turn over to police articles .proved to be lost or stolen. Chief Morrissey termed the suit “a last resort .as the ordinance has been Upheld in litigation for two years.” “What is more,” Chief Morrissey said, “the present ordinance is just a starter. We plan rhore regulations later.” :

At the ezinining of the service, the candidate, dressed in ~white bridal robes, came to the opening between the nuns’ choir and the chapel and knelt holding a lighted candle, Following the mass, the canglidate received holy communion, after which she was invested with the habit of the order, each article of which had been blessed by the bishop.

Members of the Schola Cantorum of SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral participated in the service under the direction of Humbert Pagani.

PREDIGTS GAINS IN “BUSINESS BY FALL

A 15 to 25 per cent increase in general business conditions this fall was predicted here today by Julian Goldman of New York, president of the Julian Goldman Union Stores. Mr. Goldman, who was .a member

of President Hoover's Consumers Credit Council in 1932, spoke at WFBM this afternoon on “Where Are We Drifting.” His visit to Indianapolis is part of a tour through key industrial cities east of the Mississippi. Mr. Goldman said many businessmen have been alarmed over the possible effect of Congress” Killing President Roosevelt’s spendinglending measure. “Fears are unfounded,” he stated. “Business will enjoy banding together to take up the slack and put recovery on a sound business.” He said merchants are replenishing their inventories because they have faith in the improvement of business during the fall and winter. “Added jobs and buying power will be the inevitable result,” he declared. Mr. Goldman published a book, “Prosperity and Consumer Credit,” in 1931, and served as vice president of the New York Boy Scout Foundation in 1928.

Convinced that her immediate

her husband, Joseph Miller, 23, “back again.” “Judge Myers said that he thought Joe should serve 18 months

at least, so I guess there is no use going to the Governor until around

Stating that she still loved him, Mrs. Millen yesterday asked Crim-

help her get her husband out ‘of prison. Judge Myers, who sentenced Miller to two to 14° years in the State Reformatory July 5, told her it was entirely up to the Governor.

‘|is that of Dudley A. Smith, State Welfare Department publicity director, as head of the department’s

new, investigating division. The new division was created to handle investigations of WPA applicants as prescribed in the new Federal Relief Bill. It also will do the statitical and research work formerly handled by the Governor's Commission on Unemployment Relief, abolished last year. Appointments of Mr. Hewit and Mr. Jessup would follow Governor M. Clifford Townsend's policy of promoting experienced ‘‘career” personnel to key. posts, observers said.

Labeled Political Plum

Mr. Jackson’s double job as unemployment compensation and gross tax head carries a salary of $7500 a year. The Gross Tax Division post is considered a rich political plum and abounds in patronage possibilities, since it is not covered by the merit system. Mr. Hewit has been a key figure in the Gross Tax Division since it was organized in 1933. He is now division controller. Mr. Jessup, a former State representative, has served on the Unemployment Compensation” Board since its organization. He is regarded as an authority in the insurance field.
