Poor Drainage
City Works Board | Asked fo Meet : works board to discuss inade-
quacies of system was Feeney today.
us rising flood ‘waters swept
the city, hundreds of resiOve s saw marked evidence of the city’s poor drainage system. Street Commissioner Tony Maio, whose office maintains the
storm sewers, said his department
received hundreds of calls nad J past two days. Residents in many sections of the city complain of the lakes forming in their streets and the swimming pools in their basements, he said.
Some Sewers Clogged It was pointed out, however, that some of the poor drainage condition is caused by clogged up sewers, Mr. Maio said his department has been unable to clean all storm sewers which are clogged with winter dirt and debris. The Mayor asked the works board to set a special meeting day for a discussion devoted ‘exclusivel to the over-all sewer problem. He said he thought it advisable to establish a schedule of project priorities. .
Project Demands Study
At the same time he pointed out the new board had not taken up large scale sewage plans until it had become more familiar with the city’s needs. Any work which is done, he said, will entail large bond issues which he said should be entered into only after thorough consideration. E The city at present has plans for a sewer project in the Broad Ripple area. Lines would run from approximately 54th St. north through the Warfleigh neighborhood. Designs are also being made for a sewer system through the Forest Manor area.
Warns Against Phony Inspector
Housewives Asked To Be on Lookout
Housewives today were warned by the Better Business Bureau
»to be on the lookout for a self-
styled “vacuum cleaner inspector” now making the rounds of Indianapolis homes. Using the name “K. Patterson,” the bureau reported, this man called to look over housewive's cleaners and left with them, presumably to make repairs. In many cases that was the last the housewife ever saw of the cleaner or the inspector, the bureau said. The bureau also investigated the name. “The only listing in ths telephone directory similar to the “inspector's” name proved to be a young business woman having no connection with vacuum cleaner repairs,” bureau repre-
sentatives stated.
