ASK HOOSIERS’ NEUTRALITY AID

Governor Townsend Urges State to Support President's Stand ‘Solidly.’

Governor M. Clifford Townsend today in a formal proclamation asked Indiana citizens to “stand solidly behind the President of the United States in his determination to keep America out of war.” The proclamation called attention to President Roosevelt's recent warning of the danger of our nation being drawn into the European conflict. Governor Townsend further stated: “This momentous issue which now confronts the American people transcends all partisan considerations. It is essential that we face this prcblem as a united people in order that America may fulfill her difficult role in this time of world crisis with honor and fidelity to our sacred tradition.” The proclamation referred to the President's proclamation on neutrality issued on Sept. 5. “Therefore, I, M. Clifford Townsend, do hereby call upon the people of Indiana to stand solidly behind the President of the United States in his determination to keep America out of war and to scrupulously observe the neutrality regulations set forth in the President's proclamation.

By ROGER BUDROW A movement for a reduction in water rates will be started by Brookside Civic League members. The League, which met last night

in the Brookside Park Community House, © s0 voted to hold a massmeeting later this month to learn the position of City officials on the proposed improvement of Massachusetts Ave. A committee also was appointed to investigate cause of an odor of burning rubber which is annoying residents in the district.

Report to Be Finished Soon

William M. Calvin, League president, 1618 N. Rural St, told club members that a water rate report, which was to have been presented last night, was not finished but would be soon. This report is to furnish the basis for the cheaper water plea. “During all the talk about buying the Indianapolis Waller Co. we learned a lot of things we didn't know before,” he said. “We're aiming to get a reduced rate for the whole City. We're going to put up a fight for it!” Mr. Calvin said heé would invite Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan, City

Engineer M. G. Johnson and City Controller James E. Deery to the mass meeting to “let them know where we stand and find out where they stand” on widening, straightening and resurfacing Massachusetts Ave. between 10th and 21st Sts. Charles Roush, 1612 Brookside Ave, told the group that he had tried to get the City to improve the street but that the plans had been “knocked in the head.” He advised fellow members that “the only thing to do is to get the City officials out here and show them and tell them what we want done.” It is planned to invite Brightwood Civic League members and other community residents to the meeting also. Dr. R. E. Mitchell, 3327 Brookside Parkway, South Drive, told the League he had been “worried a long time about the terrible smoke and smell” on the East Side. “The smoke settles on our porches and window sills, on washing out to dry and the terrible odor is a health menace, Why, Pittsburgh is one of the cleanest places I've been compared to this!” The odor was attributed by some to a nearby factory and by others

to burning rubber at a dump. Those appointed to investigate the situation were Dr. Mitchell, Mr. Hosey, Henry G. Blume, 3419 Brookside Pkwy, South Drive, and Mrs. George E. Schmitt, 3543 Brookside Pkwy., South Drive,

Scott Gehring, 2990 Nowland Ave, was appointed to ask the Safety Board to make Nowland Ave. a preferential street from Brookside Pkwy. to LaSalle St. “People are just using that street for a speedway,” Mr, Gehring declared.
