STANDARDIZED ARMS, NEW POLICE AUTOS NEEDED, BOARD TOLD Standardized arms for the police department, the purchase of a newtar for the department, and a small tar for the plainclothes men were considered on recommendation of the police commissioners, at a meeting of the board of works Thursday morning. The questions were referred to the city attorney for immediate action. Commissioner Isaac Burns and Chief. of Police Eversman represented the police department, and present ed the written recommendation. That the police department Is ' In need of these things is evidenced by the fact that four or five different sizes of re volvers are in use by various members of the force, according to Mr. Burns. Guns in use by the members which are furnished by the men range from ihe 45 calibre to the 22 and the heads of the department have no assurance that the men keep these guns in shape. Get No Practice. Officers are obliged to purchase their own ammunition, and no opportunity Is provided for them to practice. Mr. Burns declared. He said: "What the people want today is protection. Suppose a bank robber 6hould get into a battle with one of our men. Of what use would a 22 caliber gun be In a situation of that kind? The police department should be equipped ,to give as good service as the departments of other cities. At the present lime the men are obliged to buy their own uniforms, their own flashlights, and in fact they are furnished oniy the night sticks and handcuffs. Urge Purchases The commissioners recommended the purchase of 30 revolvers and 30 holsters, these to replace the numerous sizes of guns now In use by the department. "It will be noticed that we have recommended the purchase of more guns than there are men in the department." said the recommendation. This is because some guns are always out for repair and It is sometimes necessary to have an extra man or two on the force. The present touring car in use by the department is unreliable and should be exchanged for a newer car, they stated. In addition the use of a light small car by the plainclothes men in order to allow the two men to cover the entire city was recommended. The board confirmed a resolution to purchase lot number six in the B'anchard addition for $30. This lot was used as an outlet for the Randolph street sewer. Other Business. The bond and contract of the Z. B. Pyle company in the Wrightland addition was received by the board. Horace Ralston was given permission to block the alley running north from Main street between Tenth and Eleventh streets, until he could remove the ashes from the Westcott hotel. In order to facilitate the work of geting new fire equipment for the city and the new street cleaner, the board voted to advertise for bids on these articles. An improvement resolution from the sixth ward, for the building of cement curb, gutter and sidewalks on South D street from Eleventh to Fourteenth streets, was passed by the board. The repair of the Happy Hollow bridge, some of the flooring of which has been in bad shape was ordered. The request of Richard Sedgewick. to vacate the north half of the 20-foot ulley running from Fifteenth to Sixteenth streets, south of the Friends' church was referred to the fire chief for approval.

"We can build as cheaply this year as any time," sa,ys William Jones, financial secretary' of the state board.

STATE'S HARD ROADS, NEW JUNIOR SCHOOL RAISE WAYNE TAXES "Reduce expenditures and you will reduce the tax rate," is the message of David L. Reid, Wayne township assessor to taxpayers of his township. Mr. Reid maintains that the building of hard roads, and the erection of the David Worth Dennis high school building in West Richmond are potent factors in fixing the tax rate. "The three-mile road law has meant a great deal in the. way of getting hard roads for this community," he said Thursday. "Wayne township has in asncsacu piuymv vtiiuaiiyn oi over ? 8,000,000 and Richmond has a valuation of over' $33,000,000.

CARUSO AND GLORIA. City Planning Body Discussed Sunday Members of the citv council and noon preparatory to going to the high school building to attend a city planning commission meeting. Invitations j have been sent out by Mayor Handley 'to the members of the administration to meet at the city hall before going to that building. PUBLIC UTILITIES NECESSARY, SAYS KIWANIS SPEAKER ' - "Burdens which rest upon the shoul ders of the human being today willi be transferred and will be thrust upon the powerg'of nature herself," said Albert Stump, attorney, of Indianapolis, before the Kiwanis club Thursday. Mr. Stump appeared as representing ithe Indiana Public Utility association. pany and the Richmond Waterworks company are members, and argued in favor of state regulation of public utilities. Mr. Stump pointed out thafe the utilities which are available for use of the human being would in the near future figure in the co-operation of the public for the betterment of the work which is being performed. Utilities Necessary "The utilities must be made not merely a safe place in which to invest money, but even an attractive place, in order that capital may be made !. available with which to expand their services to meet the expanding neces sities or the people. "The attitude of the public toward the commission that regulates utilities and toward the utilities themselves is frequently unwarranted. It is created in many instances by overzealous champions of the people who are looking for persuasive campaign slogans. It may place them in a position ! where they can draw a salary paid by tne people s money. There is a feeling encouraged by such defenders of liberty that the public service commission is a commission for the purpose of increasing rates only. "While considering the "people's interests before the commission I believe that it would be well tor ask you to make some comparison of the prices you pay ,for public utilities with the prices you pay for other things. Compares Expenditures . Let me submit some figures which require only ordinary " experience and no mathematical genius to verify. The average family's income taken from a large number of different families show that it is spent in the following proportions: For food. 26 8-10 per cent; for rent and fuel. 22 9-10 per cent; for clothes, 15 3-10 per cent; for insurance 4 4-10 per cent; for electricity. 7-10 per cent; for street car fare, 2 9-10 per cent; for gas for cooking. 9-10 per cent; for telephone, 8-10 per cent; and for miscellaneous articles including Vacations, entertainments, gifts and savings. 25 3-10 per cent. "This totals 100 per cent of the income. A further statement of the facts of the case should be made here and that is that the rates for public service have increased about 25 per cent on the average during the past four years, while the increase for every other commodity has averaged from 50 to 100 per cent. These figures should be taken into consideration in estimating in a broad general way the work of the public service commission. And when it is realized that even with that moderate increase and with the per cent of the average family's expenditures for public utilities commodities as low as it is every one of the public utilities in the state of Indiana has been kept going."

Abington Township j Farm Meeting Saturday ,

ABINGTON, Ind.. Feb. . Members of the Abington township farmers' association will hold a meeting in the K. of P. hall , In Abington Saturday night. Co-operative purchase of fertilizers will be one matter for consid eration. MAY SINK VETERAN VESSEL .WITH RITES AS TREATY SYMBOL Aoctated Press) WASHINGTON. Feb. 9. Administration officials are undecided as yet to suggestions that a veteran battleShip of the fleet to be scrapped under the naval limitation treaty be sunk at sea with full military honors to symbolize ratification of the pact which will end competitive naval building among the five great naval powers. The idea i3 known to have appealed to some high officers of the government as a fiting tribute to the old battle craft. It has impressed other officials as an undersirable and impractical course, however, and final decision probably will not be reached until the full program of disposing of scrapped battleships haB been worked out in detail by the technical experts. In any case one of the ships designed to be destroyed probably will be pent to the bottom by gunfire. The pre-dreadnought Iowa, now equipped ior distant control by radio and successfully tried out. in aircraft maneuvers incident to the sinking of former German craft last year, is to be sunk by the fire of the fleet some time this spring. She was equipped for ' that purpose to be shot as a moving maneuvering - target at sea, before the Washington conference placed her among the worn out craft to be scrap ped by the United States in reducing fleet to treaty limits. MAYOR ILLUSTRATES TALK AT CAPITAL A specimen of liquor confiscated by the local police, furnished an example for Mayor Handley's speech at a law enforcement meeting in Indianapolis Wednesday.
