Seems to Be Handing Out the

ver $

Patronage.

Fhe city engineer's office i is doing a rousing business. It apparently has become temporary headquarters for assign-

ment of patronage jobs to loyal Republicans.

Mayor Tyndall's special patronage committee, announced last week as the successor to the county commit-

tee in the matter of handing

out city jobs, has started the

ball rolling. Many of those applying for political positions were referred to Harry Ray, a worker in the city engineer's

PROSECUTORS ASK PAY HIKE

Marion County Office Would Pay $10,000 Under Blue Bill.

By ROBERT BLOEM The next Marion county prosecutor will receive $10,000 a year if the general assembly passes a bill introduced today in the house. Under provisions of the measure, which was prepared by Marion

County Prosecutor Sherwood Blue, every prosecutor in the state would receive a salary increase, ranging

‘ from small amounts to as much as

$4000 a year as in the case of Marion county. : Actually, Mr. Blue said, the.bill -provides for a new salary code for prosecutors based on the population of the circuits in which they serve.

Some Get $900 Yearly

» “At the present time,” he said, “there is not equitable distribution of these salaries, Some prosecutors receive as little as $900 a year.” The bill was prepared by Mr. Blue with the approval of the Indiana Prosecutors’ association and sets a minimum salary for any such office at $2,100 a year. On the basis of population, the salaries are graduated up to $10,000 in the two largest counties in the state, Marion and Lake. $ The measure would become effective for prosecutors elected at the next election since the constitution forbids the legislature to raise the pay of incumbents. It is one of three measures fittros duced within the last three days which affect the Marion county

J: prosecutor. One of the measures

permits Marion and Lake county

prosecutors to increase the portion}

of their payroll budget spent to hire investigators from oy to $20,000 a year. - er iy

Increases Payroll

Another bill, which applies to Marion county only, increases the maximum aggregate payroll for the prosecutor’s office from $60,000 to $75,000 a year exclusive of the -a-year present salary, The increased budget to provide for additional investigators, Mr. Blue said} also is provided in the newest of the three bills, but the

separate measures were introduced ped

to pay the extra investigators for the interim period before the major bill can become effective. Both of the earlier measures will become effective immediately upon passage.

Says Budget Too Low

“In a county of this size,” Mr. Blue said, “the prosecutor's office

cannot operate efficiently on a bud- |

get of $5000 for investigators. We can’t hire more than two expert persons for that figure. “There are times when, for a short period, ~ many as 15 or 20 investigators ht be needed in a ‘single case or ~roup of cases which break about the same time. We must have enough money to pay temporary investigators at such times as well as to increase our regular staff.”

the G. O. P. : Jewett on Committee

Other members of the committee are Charles W. Jewett and Samuel Walker, an employee in the county surveyor’s office. In a letter sent to precinct committeemen and committeewomen, Mayor Tyndall explained that disposal of jobs through regular party channels has “resulted in so much confusion and delay that it is now necessary to handle fhe situation directly. “A sincere effort was made by me to recognize the loyal, faithful workers of our party, both regular committeemen and other precinct workers, by having the recommendations for city appointments come through - the county committee.” He asked precinct workers to recommend appointées for city jobs. Yesterday, in explaining formation of the patronage group, Mayor Tyndall said, “the work of the present committee does not represent any attempt to build a personal political organization, but is a move to fill these jobs efficiently and fairly. Unity Is Objective

“My ambition as mayor is not political in any sense. I am concerned only with giving the city a good administration of its affairs and with giving loyal Republicans a fair deal in patronage. Party unity is our objective, “The work of the present comAmittee does not represent any attempt to build a personal political organization but is a move to fill these jobs efficiently and fairly.”

JUDGE BLOCKS CITY BONDSMEN

Tells Police to Release Some First Offenders on

Own Recognizance.

Professional bondsmen, suspended temporarily from ‘doing business, were given another setback by Judge Niblack. in Municipal court yesterday. The judge instructed the police department to relegse certain prisoners charged with driving while drunk on their own recognizance without bonds, pending trial of their cases. Those to be released without bonds, Judge Niblack explained, include first offenders on the drunken driving charge, who have lived in Indianapolis more than six months, are employed and have families. “Bondsmen have been making a fee of $50 for every case of this type by providing a $500 property bond,” Judge Niblack said. ‘Prisoners who are not included in the release-without-bond order will be required to post $1000. bonds, the judge said. This will eliminate some bondsmen who are limited to $500 bonds. “About 95 per cent of persons arrested on the drunken driving charge are good working citizens who have had just one drink too many,” the judge said. “Some of them have had to stay in jail as long as two days because they were unable to meet the bond fee. Their offense is hot usually serious enough to warrant such treatment.” All bondsmen were suspended recently by County Clerk Jack Tilson
