Proposed Park and Driveway Have Not Been Abandoned But Effort to Secure Them Will Be Continued.
Cambridge City, Ind., April 6. The business men of Cambridge City are dissatisfied with the proposed removal of the postonice from its present location to a building which Postmaster Guyton intends to erect just west of
the Iiig Four tracks on Main street, on a lot which he has purchased of Mrs. Henry Kothe. The patrons of the postoffice declare that the office is not any too centrally located now and a further removal from the central part of the city would greatly inconvenience them. They will appeal to the postoffice department at "Washington in an effort to have the office remain in the present location, the Swiggett block.
The government quarters at present are not large enough to accommodate the rural route carriers but the business men think with some changes it j
could be made to answer the needs till a better place could be found.
IT WOULD BE VALUABLE.

If the opinions voiced at the .meeting of the "West Side Improvement association Friday night are heeded' ultimately, all that territory west of the river will be divided into two separate wards by the city council. The meeting held Friday night was a rouspr from the point of enthus'asm. Ceorge Matthews was authorized to circulate a petition among the residents of West Richmond, favoring the division and this probably will be presented to the city council at it's i-ext
meeting. The opinion on the est Side, both in West Richmond and in Kaii-vicw, is practically unanimous in favor 'of the move. The Fairview civic league placed its stamp of approval on the plan at its meeting Thursday night when it likewise authorized a petition among the people of Fairview. Is no Close Alliance.

Has Two Candidates. Richmond Lodge, Xo. 204 I. O. O. F. will confer the first degree upon two candidates Monday evening.
Did you notice the smug, contented expressions on the countenances of the patrolmen of the Richmond police force? They have been wearing it all day. Friday evening at the monthly meeting of the board of police commissioners the subject of increasing the salaries of the patrolmen, patrol driver - and v6eeoHd Serjeant JTietzold came up and after some discussion it was voted to increase the salaries of the patrolmen and patrol driver Livelsberger from $60 to $70 per month and to raise the salary of Sergeant Betzold, the veteran and efficient night sergeant, from $63 to $75 per month. The salary increase goes into effect the first of May and on May 31 the policemen affected by the change
will receive their first checks with the $10 increase. First Sergeant McManus will still continue to receive $75 per month for his services and Chief Bailey will continue to collect his $1,200 per year. News is not Pleasing. The decision of the police board to boost the salaries of the police officers is not the best of news to the city
officials. Mayor Schillinger, his cabinet and the city council do not favor this plan on account of the crimped condition of the municipal purse, which is not broken but badly bent. However, the power of the police
board under the metropolitan law is supreme so far as the police department is concerned and if the police commissioners rule that the patrolmen receive increased salaries it is up to the city officials to obey the edict, even if the city hall has to be sold to meet the expense. The commissioners advanced the police officers salaries for the reason that desirable men can not be secured or retained on the force under the scale of wages which has been in effect for some time. Friday evening the resignation of Edward" Stein, appointed to the force about two weeks ago, was tendered to the commissioners and was accepted. No appointment was made to fill the vacancy made by Mr. Stein's resignation.
In View of the Proposed Tolc-do-St. Louis Through Line -The Situation Becomes of More Acute Nature.
It will be two weeks Monday tlnrf council decided on the North. Twentythird street route, as the one over which the traction company should operate its freight cars through the city. Up to this time not a word has becu heard from the officials of the company other than the route selected wa undesirable, and that the company would not operate its freight cars on Twenty-third street. "It's. not up to the city to break the silence," say. President Merrill, of the board, City Attorney Study and other city officials. It is not known what the exact objections the company officials have to the Twenty-third street route, for they have volunteered no statement. What course the company' will pursue is also a matter of doubtbut the city Is not worrying. It has stated its terms and the company must, come to them or get nothing. Situation Now Acute. Now that a through traction sysrem from Toledo to St. Louis has been proposed by President Hugh McGowan. the local situation becomes an acute one to the officials of the system, as the new line runs , through this city.
Through freight service between the. two terminal points of the system i planned and the only hindrance in niacins this freicht service In opera
tion is the act of the Richmond city council In declaring that no traction freight cars shall be run through this city, unless the, cars ar operated Jn the north end-tjf" the city Tia North Twenty-third street. ' Will Company Eat Crow? It is humiliating to a corporation, whose combined wealth runs way Int the millions, that it should be blocked and checkmated by ten councilmen of
a small Indiana city and this unique spectacle is being watched with the keenest interest by traction and railroad people all over the country. The Question asked is. "Will the McGowan
system eat crow and come to the termof the city of Richmond?" It is the general impression that the company will obey the edict of the local council or change its plans so that Richmond will not be reached by the lines of the system, which is hardly probable, as it would mean the abandonment of the Indiana &, Eastern and the Dayton & Westerm "Are the local shippers becoming impatient over the continued delay in resuming traction freight service President Merrill was asked. "We have -not received a kick from any of the shippers and we are assured
that they are living up to their agreement to stand back of the city until the traction com pa ny meets Its terms." Mr. Merrill replied.
