EE 2000 NEW UNITS IN COUNTY
6-Months’ Cdhstruction in City Is $1,230,000 More Than ’40} Period.
Six-month residential building figures compiled by Building Commissioner George R.! Popp Jr. today were cited by the Rea] Estate Board to show that Marion County in the next six months may expect the construction of between 2000 and 3000 new units.
, Mr. Popp reported that the value of residential construction in Indianapolis through June 30 this ‘ year totaled $3,607,375, compared with last year’s six-month total of $2,354,780, a gain of more than $1,250,000. New construction during . the first half of 1941 provided housing for 858 families, compared with 554 accommodations for the same period of 1940. ;
Urban K. Wilde, executive secretary of the Real Estate Board, points out that new construction in Marion County .outside the city limits has in the past several years equaled that within the city. Thus, he estimates, nearly 900 families have ‘been housed within Marion County outside the city limits in the past six months. However, since there is much . more home building outside] the city in the $3000' to $4500 class, this fig‘ure, he says, would be more likely about 1100. Therefore, during thre first six months of 1941, new units within Marion County have provid‘ed housing for about 2000 families. During all of last year, 2808 families were provided with new homes within Marion County. Of these, 1455 units were built within the city. Less than 50 per cent of those constructed in the city proper were built within the first six months of the year, so that the last half of the year produced the greatest volume of new home construction. If this same pattern is followed during 1941, Mr. Wilde estimates that between 4000 and 5000 new residential units will be built within the county in all of this year.

Probe Ended, Mrs. Payne Waits Grand Jury Action
Times Special _ BLOOMINGTON, Ind, July 7.—
fence gossip, the Charles O. Mattingly murder case, involving the most sensational crime committed in this city for several years, was in a state of suspension today, awaiting Grand Jury action Sept. 8. Mrs. Caroline Payne, business manager of the Bloomington Daily Telephone who entered a formal denial yesterday to a charge of murdering her former fiance, attorneyexaminer for the Indiana Public Service Commission, was held in the county jail without bond. : : Her attorney, Q. Austin East, said he planned no court action to attempt to get her out of jail before the Grand Jury acts. He indicated insanity would be pleaded when the newspaperwoman comes to trial.
‘Closed’ for Present
County officials said they regarded the case as “closed” for the time being. Both Prosecutor Floyd Cook
that ballistics tests made in Indian~ apolis proved “beyond doubt” that the five bullets which riddled Mr. Mattingly’s back were fired from a a .38 Colt automatic Which Mrs. Payne had in her possession Saturday night when- the fatal shooting occurred. The automatic and another unfired gun was turned over to authorities by Mrs. Myrtle Forth, a niece of Mrs. Payne, who ‘said that her aunt had given the guns to her. The police chief also said that a plaster cast made of a “well-de-fined” woman’s footprint in the earth beneath the window of the Gus Nickas home here through which the shots were fired checked with Mrs, Payne's right shoe.
Regains Composure
Prosecutor Cook said. today that Mrs. Payne, who had appeared very nervous at the arraignment before Justice of the Peace Frank Gentry, had apparently regained control of her emotions and appeared normal. Mr. Mattingly, who lived at 1222 N. Tuxedo St., Indianapolis, was fatally wounded Saturday night as he and his wife were lunching with
Mr. and Mrs. Nickas in the kitchen
of the Nickas home. The P. S. C. attorney told a deputy coroner before he died that he believed Mrs. Payne had shot him. Love Letters Found
Tall, dark-complexioned Mrs. Payne, divorced wife of former State Senator Earl Payne, was taken into custody a short time later and police found in her purse a number df love letters from Mr.. Mattingly. Police believe the shooting resulted from a.desire for revenge because Mr. Mattingly ' “jilted” Mrs. Payne after a 10-year romance to marry his private secretary at the State House. Funeral services for Mr. Mattingly were to be held today at the Flanner & Buchanan Funeral Home in Indianapolis. The Public Service Commission offices in the State House were to be closed during the
services.

Times Special WASHINGTON, July 8.—An 8S. O. S. from the Red Cross at Michigan City was received by Senator Raymond E. Willis’ office today urging that the Coast Guard station there be restored to its full complement of 25 or 30 men. Coast Guard headquarters here, however, told James Carr, Senator Willis’ secretary, that shortage of men prevents increasing the number beyond four or five at the present time. “President Roosevelt has determined that the need for Coast Guardsmen is greater elsewhere,” they replied.

The salary increases were made possible in cities operating three utilities and were to be paid for by utility funds. > Mr. Scarbery, describing himself as a taxpayer and a customer of the municipal light, water and sewage plants, charged that the 1927 Legislature enacted a law providing that the City Council shall fix salaries preceding election of city officials, and these salaries cannot be changed during the incumbent’s term of office.
