— RESULTS IN OTHER CITIES
C. of C. Group Also to Study Proposal to Revise Rules Near Banks.
. A group of downtown businessmen today sought to find in the experiences of other cities what effect the installation of parking meters might have on Indianapolis’s down- © town traffic and commerce. The group, composed -chiefly of members of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce’s safety committee, decided to survey the effects of the meters in other cities after conferring yesterday with City officials. The group also decided to investigate the feasibility of a Safety Board proposal to ban the parking of all vehicles except those of customers in the vicinity of downtown banks. No Opinions, Says Keach
The businessmen told the officials yesterday that they considered the
downtown parking problem an im-
‘portant factor in the City’s commercial welfare. Their stand on meter installation, they said, would depend largely cn the effect on the business community’s welfare. Safety Board President Leroy J. Keach assured the group he had no
opinions on the advisability of the| =
meter installation which the Safety Board has been considering. almost a year. The Board advanced the parking meter proposal in an effort to rid the downtown area of double parking, facilitate commerce and eliminate the all-day “squatters,” he said. : City Asked Meeting As the first step, the Board ordered 3 Police Department survey to locate possible locations for the meters in the area bounded roughly "by St. Clair, South, East and West - Sts. The survey was completed a month ago, but is subject to revision if several other parking proposals are adopted. These include revision of the 20minute parking limit on streets near banks and an increase in loading zones to cut down double parking by trucks making deliveries to downtown stores. + Yesterday's meeting was requested by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan and Mr. Keach fo present the meter proposal directly to businessmen before any further action is taken on it. Irwin A. Ward, Chamber safety committee president, who was chairma n of the meeting, appointed Paul Robertson, Hume-Mansur building manager; James A. Gloin, assistant general manager of L. 5. Ayres & Co.; James P, Tretton, Indianapolis Railways, Inc., vice president, and John P. Frenzel, president of the Merchants National Bank, as a subcommittee to make the survey of meters in other cities. Subcommittee Named He also appointed a subcommittee composed of Mr. Frenzel, Henry L. Hilkene, American National Bank cashier, and Paul C. Buckler, Indiana National Bank cashier, to
study revision of parking regulations|
around banks. Although no meters could be installed until action is taken on bank parking and loading zone revision, the business group agreed that parking meter proposal was paramount, .since it involved the most drastic

change in downtown parking regulations. Police Chief Michael F. Morrissey has estimated that the installation of meters would create 10 per cent more parking space than exists at present by rotating parkers. C. H. Wallerich, president of the C. H. Wallerich Co., Inc. said he had found parking meters in other cities “highly satisfactory” where the meters themselves were mechanically sound. At New Castle, he said, officials were having some trouble with the meters through tampering. Garage Owners Interested William H. Book, Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce vice president, said downtown garage owners were interested in the meter installation, but would not oppose it if the meters were found desirable by other business groups. Several other conferences will be held, Mr. Ward said, the dates to be announced later.
MAYOR BANGS, AID BEGIN JAIL TERMS
PT. WAYNE, Ind, Feb. 22 (U. P.)—Clare 'W. H. Bangs, former mayor of Huntington, Ind. and Clayton Brown, his ci construction foreman, today settled down to routine jobs as trusties in the Allen County jail, to remain until the receiver for the defunct Huntington municipal utility quits paying their board, or until they successfully appeal the case. They were committed for civil contempt of court after Judge Harry H. Hilgemann found them guilty a month ago. He gave them until yesterday to post $5000 appeal bond or go to jail. At 3 p. m. yesterday, Bangs and Brown appeared at the jail and surrendered. The charges against Bangs and ‘Brown grew out of an’ alleged shortage of $4300 in utility funds.
Both denied knowledge of its whereabouts. :

Chubby Son of Tibet Farmer Enthroned in Exotic Rites
CHUNGKING, China, Feb. 22
and crowned with a golden crdwn
Ling-Erh was chosen without recourse to the 150-year-old ceremony of drawing lots from a golden urn. The new Lama was selected as a result of a vision and becalise he was born at almost the same hour the 13th Lama died. Followers of the religion believe that the soul of the dying ruler entered the body of the mew-born child. A Hutukhtu, or living Buddha, who was a nephew of the late Lama, was appointed regent shortly before the ruler died and it was his duty to find the successor, A vision in 1937 directed him to a Buddhist center in Kokonor province, where his agents found a house that 'he had envisioned as marked by a tree and a rock. There lived the Tibetan boy who, according to the agents, passed all of the tests designed to . show whether he was the 14th Dalai Lama. The ceremonies for the enthronement of the Dalai Lama will require six months in all.
BARRETT CHARGES PART OF TAX SALES
The Attorney General's office has ruled that sales of property for back taxes must include delinquent Barrett Law and drainage assessments. The opinion was given at the request of the State Tax Board, which explained that questions on tax sales had arisen several counties. The Attorney neral’s ruling stated that real estate delinquent 15 months or more in property taxes should be “sold to the highest: bidder if such bid includes the total amount of Barrett Law and drainage assessments.” Barrett Law assessments are charges made against property on the installment plan for payment of street and sewer improvements. The State Tax Board sent copies of the ruling to all Indiana tax officials.
