Tonight's lows were forecast at B to 15 degrees. Indianapolis Railways crews went on an emergency basis at midnight. Install Sleet Shoes

Warned of the approaching snow, Bailways called workmen for pre-dawn service to prepare trolley busses for bad weather service; “Sleet shoes” were installed on 50 busses. Installed at the end of trolley poles, the shoes are equipped with knives to cut ice from the wires. Two = gasoline - powered. line trucks also were called out to keep trolley wires clear. Sanding equipment was dispatched to bridges and railréad underpasses. The worst ice conditions were encountered on the Columbia line at 25th St. and on the Brightwood line, Railways officials said. Most trolley busses were able, to operate, however.. Stalled Cars Cause Delay Delays were caused chiefly by automobiles stalled in the streets, which blocked the busses, trac-| tion officers reported. The Monon tracks on E. Michi-| gar St. stalled a westbound bus, | loaded to capacity, when the wheels -could not make trastion] on the steel rails. The driver discharged the pas-| sengers and was able to get ‘the; bus across the tracks. He then) reloaded the bus and crawled on| toward town. Numerous personal injury accidents were reported to police. Sev-| eral pedestrians were hit by cars

last night when rain hampered

motorists’ visibility. Most were treated by physicians or at hos-! pitals and returned to their homes. Thirteen accidents were re-| ported to police between 6° and 8:30 a. m. They ranged from falls on the

"4ce to minor auto crashes and

persons injured slightly when | struck by cars. A car driven by Shirley Ann: Hart, 19, Brownsburg, was hit/ by a deisel switch engine at Arbor Ave. and the Indianapolis Belt Railroad tracks.
