"Pulaski" Is to be the name of the new $100,000 school building that is to be erected on W. Sample st., where the portable schools are now located, if the board of education accepts the petition that will be presented by the resident of that district. It was decided to circulate the petition at a meeting of the Civic club in the Rowsher building Thursday night. Members of tht school board who accepted an invitation to be present at the meeting, failed to appear. It had been suggested by the Indiana historical commission that all public buildings erected this year be given home name connected with the state' history, but the pecple of that section of the city chose the came of Pulaski, who was a leader in the Revolutionary war. Clem Pmogor, a member of the board of safety, explained to the people In a talk that better fire protection will be afforded that district with the addition of the new engine and the auto trucks that are being

added to the equipment at the Cen

tral fire station. The members of the club had interded to ask for another station in that district, but in

stead will get up a petition for more

fire alarm boxes.

Miss Virginia Tutt, head librarian

at the public library, gave a short

talk, in which she outlined a plan to send a hundred or more books to the community center for the u&e of the

people. Branches of the public library have already been established at the Laurel and Kaley Civic clubs. Better car service on the Sample st. line is to bo asked of the Northern Indiana Railway Co. by a committee appointed at the meeting. At present ears run out there every half hour and the people want 15-mlnute service.
