STREET REPAIRS

Chuckholes in Northeast Area Dangerous, Group Is Told.

‘The East 38th Street Civic League this week will contact the Works Board in an attempt to get repairs to streets in the area. At a meeting of 30 members at Bchool 1 last night, Secretary W. B. Leighty explained ‘that chuckholes in several of the streets would make it almost impossible for heavy fire trucks to get through in case of a fire. “Chuckholes in the streets make them hardly passable and, if: not yepaired. will quickly grow and ruin the whole paving job on many of our thoroughfares,” he said. The group also seeks ‘adequate street lighting. It was pointed out that there are no lights at 36th St. and LaSalle St. and on Sherman Drive between 31st and 34th Sts. LaSalle St. is paved but 36th St. Is not, and league members point out that at night without a street light the sudden change in pavement may cause a serious traffic accident. : x : Forest Manor and Sherman Drive were mentioned specifically at the meeting as badly in need of patching “else we’ll soon have no pavement at all on these streets.” The league will meet again in a month at School 1 to discuss “what action, if any, the City is taking in answering our requests.”

Arthur V. Brown, local banker, and four other defendants faced a second four-weeks’ delay today. Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell

yesterday reset hearing on the defendants’ pleas in abatement for May 20. “The first delay, which postponed hearing on these pleas from March 28 to April 22, occurred when U. S. Attorney Val Nolan was called to Washington on March 28 for consultation with an assistant in the Attorney General's office. The second delay was the result of the illness of Judge Baltzell. It was announced to counsels yesterday afternoon by Federal Clerk Albert C. Sogemeier. The judge already had postponed the scheduled New Albany term of court last Monday and cases which were to have been heard here tomorrow and Friday. He now has no cases set before May 13, which is the date set for the cohvening of a jury. for the May Court term. At the time of Mr. Sogemeier’s statement tg. the attorneys yesterday, Miss “Tjuella Meyer, Judge Baltzell's secretary issued the following statement to the press: “Judge Baltzell, while suffering from a severe cold, drove to Evansville on Sunday, April 7, to begin his regular session of Court there on the following morning. However, on that morning his cold was worse and he was advised by his physician to remain in his room at the hotel for the day. : “This he did, and, while not feeling well on Tuesday; he held his session of court, completing it on Wednesday morning and returning immediately to Indianapolis. Upon reaching his home he was found by his physician to:be suffering from a well-developed case of prevailing respiratory infection, and on Friday was: removed to Methodist Hospital. There apparently is no danger of complication, but the Judge has been advised by his physician that he will not be able to resume his court duties for two or three weeks.”
