EFFECTIVE HOW ARE ALL OF THE HEW STATE LAWS Governor Marshall's Proclamation Was Issued Saturday Putting the Acts Formally in Force.
THORNTON LAW WILL BE TAKEN TO COURTS New Street Improvement Act Is So Obscure That This Action Will Be NecessaryList of Laws. Special Correspondent. Indianapolis, ' April 12. Governor Marshall's proclamation, issued Sat urday, putting into force the laws pass ed by the legislature at the last ses sion, makes effective many changes in the laws governing the management of cities in the state. Of course, the most Important hew law or, rather, change in the old law, was made by the Thornton law on street Improvements. f This new law has been frequently written up and is by this time pretty well understood by the various city officials and the people throughout the state, although suits will have to be tried In the courts for the purpose of having certain points of the new law construed and explained. This is particularly true with reference to the question of what effect the new law has on improvements that were started under the old law. It is the genera! understanding that all such contracts may be thrown up by the contractors if they see fit to do so, and this will make it necessary for the cities to readvertise for bids and do the whole business over again. However, this and several other important questions that have arisen in regard to the Thornton law, will have to be Interpreted and construed by the courts be fore all parties will feel safe. List of New Laws. Among the new laws passed by the last legislature, and which, were put into effect by the governor's proclama tion, are the following: A town corporation may annex platted territory adjoining the town by adopting a resolution and filing it in the office of the county recorder. All resolutions passed by town boards annexing territory are legalised if adopted in good faith. Pending litigation, however, is not affected. In cities of the third class, the salary of the city attorney shall not be less than $1,000 nor more than $1,500, instead of from $1,500 to $2,000, as formerly. In such cities the salary of the city judge shall be $000, but may be increased as high as $1,500 by ordinance. Prosecutor Loses Fees. The prosecutor's fees for violations of city ordinances, are hereafter to be paid into the city treasury. The salary of the police judge in Indianapolis is increased to $3,500 a year, and he is not allowed to practice law, and he must hold court all day, the same as any other court. Public depositories are allowed to give surety company bonds to secure all deposits made by cities and towns. In cities of the third class the office of city judge is abolished unless retained by ordinance of the city council. The office of city treasurer is also abolish ed in such cities, except in those that own their water or electric light plants. The county treasurer shall perform the duties where the city treasurer's office is abolished. In cities of the fourth class, the of fice of city judge may be abolished by ordinance, and the duties shall be per formed by the mayor. For Re-election of Officers. The re-election of city officers in all cities of less than 20,000 population is permitted. Vacancies In the office of city judgo shall be filled by the governor. The city clerk is removed from the line of succession to the office of may or in case of a vacancy. In cities of the fourth class there shall be no board of public works or city controller, except by ordinance cf the council. , The only cities in which .there shall be a controller, are cities of the first class (Indianapolis); sedond class. (Evansville, Terre Haute, South Bend and Fort Wayne); such cities of the third class as establish the office by ordinance of the , council, and in fourth tlass cities in which the council refuses to abolish the office. The maximum salary of the controller in cities of the fourth class shall be $1,800 a year in stead of $1,500. Change in Cities Code. Cities of the third class shall not have a board of public works unless one is created by ordinance. In cities of the fourth class, the mayor, the city civil engineer and a commissioner, ap pointed by the mayor; shall constitute the board of public works, unless the j council by ordinance creates such a board. If such a board is created th salary of each commissioner is reduced to $600. " . . - In cities of third class the salary of the city engineer may be from $1,200 to $1300, instead of a fixed salary of $1,500, as at present. No reference is made in the law to a salary for the city engineer In cities of the fifth class. City councils are given the power to erect and maintain works for the collection and treatment of sewage. . Where there is no police board in any city of the fourth class, the mayor I shall appoint a board of safety of thre? members, oslj two from any one polit
ical party, each of whom shall receive $200 a year, y
In every case where there is sjaeation of the legality of public improvements because the improvement was advertised in a weekly paper besaose there was no dally paper ia the town, such action Is legalised. The office of city marshal is abolished in all cities of the fifth class, which have boards of police commissioners. This applies only to JeffersonvUle and Elwood. The office of city treasurer m New Albany is abolished. Legal Advertising. Where there is no dally newspaper published in a town, legal notices of such town may be published in weekly papers. ' Town marshals shall be elected Instead of being appointed by the town trustees. Trustees are eligible to re election. The terms of one half of the trustees are shortened two years so as to make half of them expire every two years. The council may provide for payment of salaries to city officials and employes oftener than once a month. The salary of the county treasurer. acting as city treasurer in Evansville, and Fort Wayne, was fixed at not less than $2,000 nor more than $3,00O. and In Anderson, Muncie, New Albany, South Bend and Terre Haute, at not tJ exceed $1,600. The treasurer's fee for collecting delinquent .municipal taxes is increased from 4 to 0 per cent. School house bonds may be issued only by towns having a population of more than 1,000. The new law fixing the salaries oi city officials had an emergency clause and went into effect on February 15. Had Emergency Clause. The law requiring cities of the fifth class to enter into a contract for gas, water, electric light or power to advertise for bids, also had an emergency clause and became effective on March 5. Any city that Is level enough to use one general sewerage system, may call an election to determine the question of whether bonds shall b issued to build such a system. This is meant to apply to Vincennes. The law amending the metropolitan police law had an emergency clause and became effective on March 4. Ii provides that members of the polica board of each city shall be appointed by the mayor instead of by the governor, and that the bonds of such commissioners shall be approved by tho city council. The salary of a police commissioner is reduced from $600 to $200 a year. OPENLY SOLD WERE THE COFFIN HAILS Dealers Yesterday Did Not Look Around to See If Cops Werft Present. REPEAL IN EFFECT IT IS NOW NO LONGER A MISDEMEANOR TO SELL CIGARETTES OLD LAW WAS NEVER EFFECTIVE HERE. "Let me have a box of Fatimas, one of Trophies and one of Naturals," and the clerk in the cigar store filled the order and handed the goods over the counter. t Yesterday the cigarette purchaser bought his coffin nails with a bravado that has not been exhibited since the defunct law went into effect. And the dealer sold them without looking about to see who might have overheard the order. The cigarette fiend the kind that likes the "ready made" , best Is now back in his glory, as he does not have to whisper over the counter to have his orders filled any more. The proclamation of the governor Saturday, putting into effect the new statutes, clad the smoker of "pills" with immunity. Never Was Effective. The cigarette law never has been effective in this city. There has not been a time when a "favored few' could not buy all the supply they wanted. Of course, the cigarettes were kept on a back shelf or under the counter, and not in the display cases, but they were on hands just the same They could be bought by the little pasteboard box or by the hundred. The local dealers were not nearly so bold in the sales as those of Indianapolis and other cities.. There, the boxqs were kept in full view and sold upon demand, the same as a cigar or pack of tobacco. For a lime the police of this city endeavored to enforce the law. There were ar few persecutions of men having cigarette papers in their possession, before the court held this was no Infringement and questioned the valid ity of the general statute. A certain professional man of this city was almost a fiend on cigarettes, but he was appointed a police commissioner and thereupon notified his dealer he would have to stop selling. The commissioner had been a former patron although the law was In effect The dealer was forced to a subterfuge and the commieston'er - bought his cigarettes through the Ha ,;. . . No Help Needed.

LAFAYETTE WAS LEADER OFFICE IN THAT CITY TAKES HONOR BECAUSE IT HANDLED ALL PURDUE MAIL MUNCIE WAS LOCAL COMPETITOR. The Richmond post office ranks third in respect to receipts for the fiscal year 19084)9, In comparison with postoffices of other cities in the state, approximately the same size as this city. Lafayette is first, but its standing is largely due to the fact that the mail for Purdue university is handled through the Lafayette office, and the receipts credited tajt. Earlham College mail and the receipts for the same is not credited to the local office, as Earlham has an office of Its own. Postmaster Spekenhier believes that if the receipts for the Earlham mail was credited to the local office, it would have benefited to the extent of $2,000 or more.

of the . local office, Richmond could never hope to compete with the Lafayette office unless the receipts of that office fell off greatly for some unexpected reason. Richmond vs. Muncie. The real contest among the cities of approximately 25.000 inhabitants, is between Muncie and Richmond. This last year, Muncie, with its 32.000 inhabitants, had but approximately $3,000 more in receipts than the local office, numbering but 23.000 patrons. Mr. Spekenhier states that Richmond will show up Muncie next year, and be in second position. A comparative statement of the ten cities of Indiana, which are about the same sise, showing: the postal receipts and the estimated population, is as follows: lows: Lafayette. 25.000, $76,761.97; Muncie, 32.000. $69,154.30; Richmond, 23,000, $65,825.38; Anderson, 25,000, Made from pure Lead, Zinc and
