Expected; More Use of Facilities Urged.
: Favoring the Park Board's pro-
tion program, the City Council tonight was expected to appraye a $2100 transfer in Park Department funds for an assistant to Recreation
Director H. W. Middlesworth. Council members indicated. last wea k they would approved the meas‘ure’ without debate, after Albert Gisjer, Board vice president, said thati the hiring of the new assistant
partnent’s 1941 budget request. Tht: members said they agreed with = Mr. Gisler’s contention that the C ty must provide greater recreation' facilities for the younger childra 1 and that these must be manage d by a trained expert.
The si 'ggestion | that an: assistant ‘ recreatio | director be addled to the departme 1t came from the Recreation Adw sory Committee several| months ag 0. It was received favorably by: Board | members, who believe that t."e City has all the parks and playgre unds it needs; but does

less than $2 500 annually, and not more, than $2800! It is the belief of visory Committee members, however, that’ an even higher salary would be justiiied, since the man to be chosen must be an expert to make the program succeed. About five ye:'rs ago, the Department maintained an @ssistant director.| The position was eliminated in a City Hall econonay wave and never restored.
Transferred From WPA Fund
The | $2100 is to be: tramsferred from the Park Board's budget appropriation for its WPA contribution on ‘Flood Prewention and other WPA work. About $7500 remains in this fund, leaving $5400 to carry
Ray Herner,
By RICHARD LEWIS The City Collections Department is one division of municipal administration whose performance is the target of a lot of vegetables, but it doesn’t seem to mind. : Operating on one of the smallest | per capita budgets of any City department,” the collections department is responsible for an estimated 85,000 garbage cans and trash barrels in| Indianapolis. If it misses one, it hears about it. Nothing causes: Collections Superintendent, Ray Herner quite so much grief as a neglected trash pile. Although the department has never missed a district, rain er shine, in its 40 years’ operation, the men occasionally pass by a container which invariably has an indignant
taxpayer 'standing for its rights. ‘Collection Times Changed
The passing-by is done mostly
out the Board's sponsorship obligation. Board members said the cut of $2100 from the .fund would reduce the WPA work this year, but would not seriously impair it. Following Council’'s approval, the transfer must be approved by the State Tax Board.!
CHURCH WILL FINISH
when the department makes the transition from winter to summer schedules, which it did two weeks ago. In- summer, the department col-
lects garbage twice a week, ashes
and trash once every two weeks. In winter, garbage and ashes are collected once weekly: The key to remember how the
{sumer schedule goes is very simple.
PAYING DEBT JUNE 30,
The Board -of ‘Trustees of the Garfield Baptist Church has completed arrangements to pay the church’s indebtedness by June 30 when special services will be held. The Rev. Henry W. Lewis wil speak. The Rew. Charles Poole is} church pastor.

If garbage was collected in the winter on Monday or Thursday, it

ing the summer, The same holds true for Tuesday and Friday and Wednesday and Saturday. On the summer schedule, the ashes are collected on the same days as during the winter schedule, but every other week instead of every week. This schedule which never has been varied since anyone now em- | ployed in ‘the department can remember, is the foundation of the whole collections system which operates. on a geographical basis.
There are 12 collection districts
throughout the City. Can’t Define District
The district cannot really be defined, except on a large map. They are laid qut by metes and bounds which repose somewhere among the mustier of the City’s’ records. Collection men know the districts by heart, but they couldn't tell you just where each one was if you asked them. The district just grew up out of operations. In the early days, a dis-
