Embodies Proposals by ODT Investigator in Petition To Works Board; Seeks Saving in Tires and Equipment.
Indianapolis Railways today petitioned the works board for permission to effect five changes in its service recommended by the office of defense transportation. The changes were recommended by Guy E. Richardson, local transport director of the ODT in Washington, for the purpose of eliminating unnecessary service and thus to conserve rubber and equipment. The suggestions were made in a letter to Harry Reid. Indianapolis Railways president, following a survey made here May 11 by Thomas H. Nicholl, assistant Io Mr. Richardson.

JAMES TO ASK SECOND TERM
State Auditor Bids for Renomination on Program
Of Economy.
State Auditor Richard T. James has announced his candidacy for renomination for a second term at the Republican state convention June 18. Pledging reduction of state government costs, Mr. James sald he is seeking re-election on his record in office since Dec. 1, 1940. “The total biennial appropriation for administration costs of my office has been decreased more than $72,000,” his announcement stated. “During our fight to win the war it becomes even more necessary that state and local officers sacri fice with the same spirit and willingness as all other citizens. We must do this by spending less money in public office.”
Former Aid to Tucker
Mr. James has been active in Republican politics for more than 16 years, having served in the 1935 legislature from Jay county where he has been a life-long resident. In 1036 he was a candidate for fifth district congressman and in 1938 was appointed chief deputy secretary of state by James M. Tucker. While deputy secretary of state he was nominated and elected state auditor in 1940. Born in Portland, Mr. James attended public schools there and later was graduated from Western Reserve university. He formerly was president of the Jay County Bar association.

4. That the 38th st-crosstown bus line, which operates on 38th st. between Capitol and Rural and on Capitol between 30th and 38th sts. be abandoned. In this letter Mr. Richardson stated, “Load curves on the 38th and Capitol branch suggest that part of the line could be. discontinued to save tire miles.” 5. That the West Indianapolis bus! line be abandoned. “This line runs! on the same route as the Drexel | Gardens route to Belmont and Mor- | ris sts, and thence south for short distance to Thornberry st. This would save 82 bus miles per | day and release one bus for more important service,” Mr. Richardson! said. Sixth Change Urged
A sixth change, not included by the ODT in its specific recommendations to Indianapolis Railways | for changes, was embodied in the | petition. It calls for the abandonment of! the Union st. bus line which runs south on Union st. to Caven and | Adler sts. and duplicates the route of the Sunshine Gardens bus line. | It is also duplicated by the Madison bus line. : If this duplication of service is! eliminated, approximately 20 bus
