DEWEY SPEECH | CUTS COUNCIL'S MEETING SHORT

For Record.

The Indianapolis City Council hung up a new speed record today, thanks to four Republicans and

some curious Democrats. The City fathers raced through 1 ordinances and two dinner invita-

tions in 78 minutes flat last night.|’

It was the shortest meeting in the annals of the current Council. : It happened that way because three of the Republicans, Councilnen Harmon A. Campbell, Ralph Moore and Dr. Walter E. Hemphill, wanted to hear what a fourth Republican, Thomas E. Dewey from New York, had to say about Democrats. Even the. Democratic Councilmen were curious, though - restrained.

Delegation Sent Home

So the members swept most of the work under the rug, sent home a delegation of 20 E. 10th St. residents without a public hearing and raced for the Butler Fieldhouse where Mr. | Dewey was speaking, On the City Hall steps, the members encountered startled group of City officials on the way to attend the Council meei- | in .

£. ” ‘When informed the meeting was over, the officials rushed out, too, although it was not determined whether they intended to hear Mr. Dewey. The councilmen postponed eight ordinances and passed four.

Pigeon Measure Held Over

Among the eight postponed was one presented by the Safety Board which would allow the Works Board to issue a permit to kill, trap or otherwise dispose of pigeons. This measure, introduced two weeks ago, was the outgrowth of an offer from a private citizen to rid the City of part of its pigeon population provided it was legal. The measure would repeal a 1925 ordinance protecting pigeons, and would allow the Safety Board to make the pigeon remover a special policeman. Another measure postponed was

NEW ROAD 31 PROTEST FILED

35 Property Owners on

S. East St. Object to Relocation.

An additional protest to reloca-

tion ‘of Road 31 was filed yesterday at the office of the State Highway Commission by 35 S. East St. property owners.

The Perry Township Business

Men, Inc, filed a remonstrance last

thé Health Board’s milk ordinancetweek ‘objecting to the improvement

v/hich would set up grades of milk. The Council also deferred action on zoning a piece of property at E. 10th and Linwood Sts. after telling residents who had appeared to oppose the measure, to attend the next meeting. A measure which would authorize the Park Board to sell land on Burdsall Parkway also was deferred. The members approved ordinances transferring funds from the Works Board to the City Streets Commission, approving purchase of a road

of 8. East St, locate Road 31 between Indianapolis and Greenwood.

“The S. East St. remonstrance said

that the relocation is not necessary, that it would bring added expense to the State and that traffic can be served properly if the present route is widened and improved. The pro-

test also claimed that it would

bring the highway too close to the high school in that area and endanger pupils who must cross S. East St.

coal than Indianapolis. This coal sells in Indianapolis for three dollars a ton less than the low volatile kind. : Weary firers of Indianapolis furnaces can find some solace in the fact that Indiana-Illinois lump coal which sells for an average price of $5.31 here costs $8.68 in Chicago and $9.95 in St. Paul. Low volatile lump coal averages $8.54 a ton to Indianapolis consum-. ers but costs $13.65 in Minneapolis and St. Paul, $12.06 in Milwaukee and $11.54 in Chicago. These prices were the December averages, according to the Bureau. Food prices in Indianapolis showed not quite so much advantage over other Midwestern - cities. In this classification, Indianapolis in February, as in January, was just in the middle. Highest food prices were in Chicago. Cleveland, Milwaukee and Peoria also had higher prices than Indianapolis. Detroit had the lowest food prices in the Midwest; Springfield, Ill, Columbus, O., and Cincinnati also undersold Indianapolis. Prices here were 78.3 per cent of the 1923-25 average, compared to 76.8 in January and 76.6 in February 1939. Only three cities in the nation had a reduction in food prices from January to February.

FARMERS FORM BLOC OF VOTERS

Non-Partisan Study of All Candidates’ Records Is Being Made.

Indiana farmers are organizing a voting bloc to study records of all candidates for nomination in the primaries and general election next November. according to Anson 8. Thomas, legislative director of the

He said partisan politics is not being considered by the farmers who have organized “election committeemen” totaling more than 7000. “These committeemen are schooled regarding taxation and civic affairs and have a definite knowledge regarding necessary functions of good government,’ ” he said. “Governmental costs necessary frills are going to be cut to the bone when the next legislature meets, if farm people are suc~ cessful in the Selection of Jegele tors.”
