B FIRE ON BEAMER

Erroneously Interprets New Highway Law. (Continued from Page One)

tisement,” had not been amended or repealed by the new acts and still is in effect. He added that “Mr. Beamer's opinion completely ignores that part of the law, either wittingly or unwittingly—for which there is no ex-

flcuse in either cage.”

The Attorney General's opinion was based on the contention that this section had been repealed by the wording of the new statute. According to James D. Adams, State Highway Commission chairman, a completely new paragraph in the 1941 act states: “It is further directed that all road, bridge, culvert and purchase contracts shall be advertised . . . and that notice of each project shall be separate in itsplif.” This was in the form of an amendment introduced by Senator Albert Ferris (R. Milton) shortly before final passage. Since the new act also repeals all conflicting provisions of previous laws, the Attorney General's opinion holds that the $250 minimum of 1935 is wiped out and that the words “all , . . purchase contracts”

chases, large and small, made annually by the department.

Civic Groups Study New Law

Meanwhile, civic organizations began a study of the new law and indicated that they might take some court action to untangle the situation. In his statement, said: “The opinion of the purported Attorney General, who like the man without a country is a man without an office, addressed to the chairman of the purported Highway Commission, is so completely erroneous that it affords conclusive proof of that individual's determination to pillory and sabotage the laws enacted by the Legislature at the last session rather than to ascertain the true intent of the Legislature as evidenced by those laws. “The law remains as it was enacted in 1935 in respect to the purchase of tools, implements, materials, supplies. If what is to be purchased will cost more than $250, notice for bids must be advertised, bids must be received and contracts let under a competitive system of bidding. If a purchase is below that amount, no advertisement of notice need be made, no bids need to be received and no contracts let.

Reports Only One Change

“The only change made by the 1941 law concerning purchase contracts to be entered into by the State Highway Commission is that where advertisements for bids are required under the law, the advertisements shall be published in all the daily newspapers in Indianapolis having a general circulation. “Before that change was made, all that was required was that they be published ‘in a newspaper of general circulation in the city of Indianapolis’ The act of 1935 did not even require that an advertisement be made in a daily newspaper or in any paper having a minimum general circulation. Therefore, it was possible to publish advertisements for bids in some weekly newspaper which had a general circulation in Marion County, but which very few people read. As a rule, such advertisements were published in the Hoosier Sentinel. a Democratic propaganda sheet supported by the infamous Two Per Cent Club. ; . .

Mr. Bobbitt

purported attorney general is cone clusive proof of the wisdom of the new law which provides for the selection of an interim attorney for the State by a board made up of the Governor, the Lieutenant Geve ernor and the Secretary of State. and the election of an attorney general by the people in 1049 “This opinion is a fair sample of what the public may expect if Mr. Beamer is permitted to continue his sitdown strike in the position of attorney general.

HINT ARMY CAMP IN BARTHOLOMEW CO.

COLUMBUS, Ind, May (U. P.) «= Possibilities that northwestern Bartholomew County may be selected as the site of a new Army cantonment were strengthened today by the arrival of Lieut. B. K. Shimp, a construction quartermaster from Ft. Haynes, Columbus, O. A surveying crew was scheduled to go to work immediately on the area.

An announcement from Washing-

[ton last week indicated the site was

under consideration for an Army

camp large enough to accommodate 30,0004 men.

DREHER GUIDE LATE: BUSINESS TOO GOOD

The new edition of the Dreher guide to the city is ready for disse tribution, two months later than schedule because business is good in Indianapolis, D. F. Dreher, veteran publisher of the guide, says business and manufacturing concerns have in creased so greatly in the City since two years ago, when the last edi tion was compiled, that much time was consumed bringing the record up to date. He said, too, that the City Plan Commission has been active in changing names of streets, and that was a headache for him. The Commission, he said, is giving broken streets the same name for their entire length,
