COUNCIL REFUSES TO APPROVE PLAN FOR CEMENT ROAD City Suspends Sanction of Twenty-third Street Improvement Until Committee Probes Case. For the first time since the enactment of the Indiana three-mile-gravel road law the Richmond city council has been called upon to pass on an action of the county commissioners in Approving a petition for the making of street entirely within the limits of the city under the provisions of that law. Council last night was asked to Miction the action of the commissioners in ordering the improvement of South Twenty-third street by making a concrete roadway from Main street to South E street, a distance of 458 feet, more than a half mile. . Councilman O'Neal, who presented the petition asked for its approval without delay and W. H. Kelly, attorney for the petitioners, also asked that oca action be taken. Councilman Walterman, however, moved to amend CNeaTs petition that no action be taken nntll a committee of three had made an investigation and had reported at the next council meeting. .Vote For Delay. Mayor Robbins gave bis support to this amendment, reminding council that whatever action it took in the matter would be the establishment of a precedent. The vote on the amendMat stood six to six, and Mayor Robbins voted for a delay. Mr. O'Neal i then moved that an adjourned meeting ! be held next Monday night to consider the Question exclusively and it was adopted without opposition. As an investigation committee Mayor Robbins

appointed Walterman, O'Neal and i Carter. ! The resolution approving the South j Twenty-third street improvement has been Indorsed by the board of public works before being submitted to council but President Bavis said the board's action was not to be construed as approving the three-mile-gravel road law. He said the board had only Indorsed the proposal to improve the street In question because it could not bo improved in the customary manner for the cost would be more than fifty per cent, of the assessed valuation of the real estate abutting the street. He added that the board thought if the street was made under the three-mile law it might stimulate building in the extreme southeastern section of the lty. Kelly Makes Statement. Attorney Kelly in his statement to council said that the improvement of South Twenty-third street was badly seeded, which fact, he said, was recognised by the county commissioners, who had ordered the improvement made He said that submitting the proposition to the board of public works was merely anact of courtesy but the resolution would have to be adopted by council before the commissioners' order became valid. Yesterday R. K. Shiveley, an attorney, appeared before the commissioners and made an emphatic declaration that there was a strong public sentiment against the construction of more coadwavs under the three mile law. He said that the tax rate now was too high and that each road made in Wayne township under this law boosted the taxes. Council, recognizing the pronounced sentiment against the much discussed law. by its action last night played safe until the views of its constituencies could be ascertained. If the council does approve the South Twenty-third street improvement it will undoubtedly require that the city be insured by bond against damages which might be demanded because of accidents due to possible faults in the construction of the street. City Attorney Bond suggested this, who said that one man had already been injured by faulty construction of a concrete street recently put down. MRS. GOULD WORRIES OVER DOWER RIGHTS 3 1 ; ' - MRS. KATHErJINE CLEMMONS GOULD. ln spite of the answers of the attorneys for her husband Howard Gould and his brother George J. Gould, to the effect that the dower rights, which she charges the two men conspired to deprive her of, are perfectly safe, Mrs. Katherine Clemmons Gould is not at all convinced of their good faith. She accuses her husband, from whom she was divorced in 1909 and who pays, her $3,000 each month as alimony, and his brother of having tried to cheat her out of her dower rights in the $800,000 property at Fifth avenue and Seventy-third street

FORCE PRISONERS TO CUT WEEDS OK VACANT LOTS

Hostilities have again broken out. Following a fiery speech by Councilman Waidele last night council by unanimous vote declared a war of extermination against weeds in vacant lots and ordered the drafting of an army of at least six scythe wielders if necessary. Mayor Robbins, however, came to bat with a plan by which the war may be carried on without expense to the city. He suggested that the county commissioners be requested to lend the city a squad of prisoners to do the work. "They are using prisoners on the county roads, so why can't we have jail inmates do some of the city's work? The city pays half of the taxes," said Mayor Robbins. His plan was heartily indorsed and the board of woi'as will open negotiations with the county commissioners. The ordinance committee reported last night that it had delayed the preperation of a new weed ordinance, and Councilman Waidele, then protested that the present ordinance was worthless and said that, the only way for the city to get rid of the weeds, which are now beginning to seed, was to have them cat at its own expense, if necessary. Delay Light Law. No alley lighting ordinance was presented by the committee last night but Chairman Walterman said the committee recommended the placing of an Incandescent lamp at the intersection of each alley in the business districts, the cost of the current to be defrayed by the benefitted property owners. An ordinance authorizing the placing of a railroad switch across Neff street, which is to be paved this fall, was passed by council under suspension of the rules. Councilman Steinbrink introduced an ordinance requiring that all lot numbers be displayed in the rear of houses as well as in front of them, and displayed prominently enough so as to be seen from the alleys. This plan Is for the convenience of deliverymen. The ordinance, which is to take its regular course, provoked considerable discussion on the house 1 CARLOS, IND.

Councilman Waidele recommeded the painting of the No. 5 hose house and the detention hospital and he also complained about a high hedge at the corner of West Seventh and National avenue. He urged the removal of poplar trees and gave a long list of places where there were such trees. He said many of them were pushing up sidewalks and shoving out curbs. This was referred to the board. A petition, signed by five hundred employes and officers" of the Starr Piano company, asking for a subway under the C. & O tracks at the dangerous crossing at the foot of South B street, was presented. Councilman Walterman said that only recently two people had narrowly escaped being killed at this crossing and that there should be no delay in action on the matter. He was supported in his argument by Councilman Wilklns. The Starr company has agreed to contribute ?250 to the expense of this improvement. The matter was referred to the board. Complains of Market. Walterman complained that the hay market had not been cleaned for eight weeks and that there was a general complaint being made by nearby residents.

He said several bad accidents had been narrowly avoided at that congested corner recently.

Di A. R. MAY MARK OLD (lATilAL ROAD Council Grants Patriotic Society Right to Blaze Trail With Colors.

A delegation of Daughters of the American Revolution, representing the Richmond chapter, aroused the chivalry and patriotism of council last evening. . At their request council is going to have an amendment to its pole ordinance "railroaded" through, at the next meeting to that neat and decorative signs can be placed on trolley poles along Main street, and the National road west to mark the famous old roadway, the most historic of all American old trails. Council has ordered that the funds for painting a sign on one trolley pole to a block to be taken out of the well-guarded city treasury, the supervision of the work being left to the D. A. R. members. Mrs. Paul Comstock, regent of the Richmond chapter, informed one inquisitive councilman that the trolley standards would not look like barber poles although the signs are to be painted the national colors, crested by the insignia of the D. A. R. The National Old Trails association, Mrs. Comstock said, was marking the great mid-continental old trails route from coast to .coast on the roadways outside the various towns and cities along the route, while the D. A. R. had undertaken the work of marking the route in the various towns and cities. After council had endorsed the project and financed It Mrs. Comstock requested that supervision of the work be left to her organization. "Women are much more economical and understand such things so much better than men, that you had 'better let us do this," she explained, and once more council surrendered. Mrs. George Chrisman, treasurer of the chapter, said thirty-eight poles would be painted, and she estimated the cost of the work would be about thirty dollars.
