LIGHTS ON SOON
FOR WYNNEDALE
Newest County Town Must Wait Until 1940 Before It Can Levy Taxes.
Marion County’s newest town— Wynnedale—will turn on its street lighting system for the first time a week or so. Thomas N. Wynne, town board president, said citizens had not; decided if theyll make a big affair out of the occasion or “simply turn them on.” The system, already installed, is now being connected to Indianapolis Power & Light Co. power lines, he said.
Although the town is not yet able to levy taxes, Mr. Wynne said it would not be difficult to finance repair of any streets. “The streets are in good condition,” he declared, “but if they need a little repair: this summer we can do it with some.of the $60 from gasoline tax money from tHe State or by passing the hat.” Officers of the town have been
the first they can collect will be the 1940 levy to be paid in 1941, Mr, Wynne said. Town officials asked the County Commissioners :to undertake road repairs but were told the County could ‘not pay for street repairs within an incorporated town unless the roads were County roads. There are 20 homes and 70 citizens in the town in the vicinity of 42d St. and Cold Springs Road: - On May 25 they voted to incorporate, The town, divided into three wards, is governed by a town board. Mr, Wynne is president and representa tive from the first. ward, Dr. James Stygall is second ward representative and Theodore Corbin is third ward representative. David Fox, at whose home board meetings. are held quarterly, is clerk-treasurer and Thomas Ayton is marshal.

Mrs. Alice Scott Nutt, U. S. Children’s Bureau executive, who was entertained at a dinner last night in the Claypool Hotel, told Juvenile Court officers that she was impressed with improvements that had been made here.
She was particularly impressed, she said, with the closely knit association between Juvenile Court and the ‘Welfare Department. The method the Welfare Department uses in awarding dependent children avoids setting up a dual control between court and welfare workers, she said. Among those attending the dinner given by Juvenile Court Judge Wilfred Bradshaw were Mrs. Bradshaw, Police Chief Michael Morrissey, Thomas Neal, Marion County Welfare Department director; Mrs. Austin Olifford, Juvenile Court Committee member; Kenneth Ogle, member of the juvenile aid division of the ' Police Department; Mrs. Orinda Mullinkin, case worker of the Juvenile Court, and Randall Shake, chief probation officer of the court. Mrs. Nutt said she was disappointed that the court here had not been moved from its present location. “Scattered {rooms and limited space hampers the efficiency of the staff,” she said.
