‘The grave of ‘Alexander Ralston, who - designed Indianapolis’ Mile Square, . was. decorated ‘at .3 D. m. yesterday in Crown Hill Cemetery; 120 ;years after he had staked out | the street boundaries -of - what. is now- downtown Indianapolis. ‘A committee made up of members of - the Indianapolis ‘Teachers’ Federation, headed by Howard Wood, Federation “president laid a wreath on Mr. Ralston’s grave, as they have | done yearly since 1937. : At that time ‘= stone was erected by the Federation after Emmett A. Rice, Shortridge High .School vice principal, discovered among: old re¢ords that provision had been made for a monument for Mr, Ralston’s grave in 1874, when his body ‘was moved from the old Greenlawn Cemetery. When Mr. Ralston staked out the dimensions of Washington Street in the wilderness in 1821, people were amazed when he provided that it be 120 feet wide. As a matter of fact, no main street

90 feet in width. Since then, course, Mr. Ralston’s foresight has been en by. countless: drivers during, the rush hours, Mr. Ralston had helped Charles Pierre I'Enfant design the city of Washington, D. C., and he was in ‘1821 also. the official surveyor of ‘Maricn County. He died in 1827, at the age of 56, after having lived in ‘Indianapolis five years: : On the stone that marks his is a replica of the mile ) ; : : eration who were on hand at the decoration of ‘Ralston’s grave yesterday were Mrs. -Adelia M.
