damp blanket over Mayor Tyndall's sizzling No, 1 post-war project—the survey and reconstruction of In-

dianapolis’ sewer system—by deaction on an initial $15,000

Despite Works Board President Sherlie Deming's urgent warning that sewer and sanitation plant renovation plans are already “dangerously” behind schedule, council decided to examine the proposition with microscopic scrutiny. It's ~ pautious approach obviously was influenced by the possibility that the entire sewer remodeling program may eventually snowball into a near-million dollar project. % Council appeared particularly impressed with arguments that pre- ~ liminary “legwork” on the survey . should be undertaken by the city engineering department. As it 1s

now set up the survey would be; gid

- performed completely by an “outside” consultant, probably the Rus-sell-B. Moore-Engineering firm. Goes Outside City

Total cost of the survey alone was estimated by Mr. Deming at $75,000. The survey would extend into the sanitation district, four miles beyond the city limits into Marion county: In reply to & ques-

tion, he said the county probably] {i

could be persuaded to defray part of the survey costs. He further cautioned that revoJutionary developments in sewage] disposa] threatened to leave vd anapolis at the post if immediate steps are not taken to bring the city up to daté in this field. M. G. Johnson, post-war committee engineer, said the last comprehensive survey of the sewer system was in 1912, - Council President John A. Schumaker capped the discussion by declaring, “1 know we're all in favor of this survey, but I, for one, want to know exactly what the city’s going to get for this 75,000 bucks— dollars if I'm quoted.” Telford Issue Revived

Also rehashed at last night's ses-| sion was the perennial question of job surveyor Fred Telford's salary, or the lack thereof. Council previously had agred to pay Mr. Telford $2000 for “advisory services from August to December, but ~ Councilman Edward R. Kealing ' cited a state board of accounts rul“ing that the “gentleman’s agreement” was illegal because no funds were available at the time of its he-| gotiation, Substantiating - Mr. Kealing's charges was Corporation Counsel Sidney 8. Miller who likewise de-| clared “null and void” council's promise to pay a $3000 “extra serv-| ice” bill handed it by J. I. Jacobs, ! municipal consultant from Chicago. | Parking meters jangled across the | council scene again when Purchas- | ing Agent Edward Hereth attempted | vainly to arouse enthusiasm by con- | tending that the city could reap ripe profits through <installation of the gadgets. Councilmen have de- | cided to shelve the subject, how! ever, until after election. It's considered too controversial.

Mistake in ‘Fuel’ Spurs Close Race To Avert Blast

WHEN GEORGE SAWYER, 58, emplovee of the Covalt filling station, 1414 8. Meridian st, filled the kerosene can of Mrs, Pearl * Coffman, 1469 8S. Illinois st., yesterday noon he inadvertently used the wrong. pump and filled | it with highly inflammable naphtha, ; The mistake was discovered by | Ned Covalt, station proprietor, about two hours late but they didn’t have the slightest idea as to the identity of the purchaberor where she lived. They called police who began a house-to-house search in the neighborhood to recover the can before any explosion occurred. They also called a radio station which broadcast the mistake. About 5 p. m. Miss Anna Prentice, 12, of 1439 8. Illinois st., told police “the lady across the street haz a gaoline stove.” Officers knocked on the kitchen door just as Mrs. Coffman was filling her stove with the naphtha.
