Western Electric's New $1 Million + Plant Here Is an Example

Bell Garage at 1233 W. 18th sitting there in brick and stone, machinery and furnishings. It's ventilated and clean as a pin with everything in apple pie order.

He renovates old equipment too. Boils the paint off old telephones, churns their plastic parts in slightly dyed maple pegs to give them shine again. They are checked, made good as new, and put back on the shelves for redistribution. There you see Indiana Bell's huge fleet of trucks, equipped like rolling factories to meet ever) need in the far-flung range of the telephone web. It's clean, wel lighted. It has the zing of succes: about it.

THIS WEEK the new warehouse held open house for it: community neighbors; showed them about, gave them refreshments, even set up a recreation room for children with two whitelinened nurses in attendance. It's quite an investment Western Electric has made in Indianapolis considering, too, the huge

Estate Board has put its finger on the blight which is slowly turning the edge of the business district into tumbled-down slums. It's rent control. The landlords caught with low rents in the 1941 freeze are sitting by watching their property fall apart for lack of repairs. Now there is no law which says they cannot repair their buildings but they ask, almost in tears, “Where do we get the money?”

» - . L. E. LEWIS, chairman of the

government tampering and what it is doing to real property. He says bluntly that the politicians of both parties. are hanging onto rent control for dear life. It's a vote getter, and it costs the politicians nothing. But it costs the property owners plenty. The apartment management men are in the same boat. Tenants howl for repairs but they ask the same question about where they get the money. They are the only ones who did not come through the lush post-war years with a pocketfull of bucks.
