BROOKSIDE CIVIC

LEAGUE WANTS | CHEAPER WATER

Delegation to Meet ‘With i

Mayor on Possibility; WPA 18 2h

« Project Also Sought.

oy ‘Brookside -Civic- League. -represen-.

tatives are to meet with Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan, probably ne:

week; ‘to determine if the City ‘will

séek lower rates from the Indianaps olis:Water Co.

-Those appointed by William Cal-,

vin, league president, at last night's meeting in the Brookside Community House are Charles Hart, c¢hair-

man; Carl Payne, Henry Blurhe and

Sherrell Thompson.

“We don’t know if City "officials want to or can secure lower water |

rates,” Mr. Calvin" said, “but- ‘we

want to find out. We want to know s just what procedure we ‘must’ follow

to get cheaper water. It's the “duty of City officials to serve the public

if they will. If they won't, theén

we'll ‘go to town’ ourselves!” Special Meeting Planned® ~~

The league’ s water rate committee is‘expected to hold a special meeting before conferring: with the Mayor to discuss’ the bonded indebtedness’ of the Indianapolis Water Co. ahd its} effect upon the water rates. © + League officials also plan to try to interest City and State officials in- applyjng for a WPA project ‘to widen and straighten Massachusetts Ave. *This was recognized as a needed improvement as far back as 1925,” James Cross told the group. “It was included in City Plan Commission proposals then. The route is the only logical * thoroughfare to the northeast part of Indianapolis, it is a state highway and the best road to Ft. Harrison.” He estimated the cost between $750,000 and one million dollars.

. Avenue Tetmed Menace

Increased traffic regulation will be sought for Brookside Ave.; which was termed a “menace fo sch children” by . Mr. Cross. Terming it "a regular speedway for trucks,” he declared: “It’s one- of the seveh wonders of the world:that the children . going to Technical High School: and School 33 haven't: been killed.” Mrs. Bertha Hayes suggested “that regulation be sought to prevent trucks. from speeding--on Rural Street” and that a stop sign ‘be erected at the intersection of Rural Street «- and Brookside Parkway; South. Drive. “When ee is a baseball game on Sunday im the park, you: can ‘hardly get, off Rural Street,” she. said. : Scott Gehring said he: had diss cussed with City officials the possibility of making Nowland Ave. a preferential street and was:continuing his efforts toward that goal.

Two Fires Reported Out. of Control on Farm Lands In Allen County.

The Conservation Department and State Highway Commission joined forces today to fight muck fires raging over. several square miles of wooded farm land in Allen County.

Kimmel, Allen County agricultural agent, has secured permission from the Forestry Division to use . WPA workers in fighting -the blaze. A survey of the burning area has ‘been instituted by C. M. Carpenter, forester in the Wells County

call upon Forest Woodard, district WPA supervisor, for the manpower needed. The - Highway Commission’ Ft. Wayne district office has been instructed to furnish trucks, graders

| and other equipment.

The fire is said to be burning from two to four feet underground and Trenches dug below the fire level and filled | with sand are said to be thé most effective means of combatting such Ares. ;

no power to eliminate the fees because they are provided for by law. Because the Board said it was thus “handcuffed”, it is reported, it will ask public pressure to revise statutes legalizing the fees. . The Board also declared it was balked in efforts to cut rising poor relief expenditures and is expected to make an appeal for public action on this tax problem. Albert Walsman, board chairman, said yesterday he hoped to be able to issue the Board’s report by Thursday noon. Today's discussion- -on the report was to be closed.
