APPLY TO STATE

Elbel Says Body Must Have Money to Make Improvements Now Under Way. "If the city attorney and members of the city couneil persist in the stand that no further appropriations of any sort are granted the board of park commissioners outside.of the board's present source of revenue, the ninecent tax levy," dec lared Pres't Richard Elbel, of the board Monday morning, 'the only resource of the hoard will he to apply to the state legislature tor a dianc in the state law governing such action." The park hoard, with thousands of dollars in improvements planned and ready for attention, i.s at a standstill. The fact that they ate seeking to place before the council a forestry ordinance, providing for a forester, expenses accrued through the attention the trees of the city require, is indicative, according to Pres't Elbel, that they are literally ''up against it" in the matter of finding the- work which has been started in this and pn.e e ding administrations. The forestry ordinance has been a pet theory of the park hoard sinceits lirst administration in this city. Mayor Keller this year has promised to see the matter through, even to appearing before the council to make a talk in its behalf. The ordinance will mean an expense to the city of about $o,0ou which if it is considered as an appropriation, may never coino to a successful culmi lation. The park board i.nnual revenue, some $ J 7.0 0 0, gained through a nineeent tax levy granted it by state laws, is; shot to pieces, according to Pres't l-:ibel. with four months after it has rested in the board's coffers. Annual land contract payments amount to more than $s,000. This sum is paid by the park board. The hiring of labor and other incidental expenses amounts to $15,U0 er more, and this sum. also, comes from the board's annual revenue. With the $t.0UU more or less, that is left, according to l'res't Elbe!, the board will be left to carry on its work of park improvement, pavement of boulevards and the perfection of other plans which, ho claims, were granted feasible one year ami derided as senseless the next. "Appropriations from the city council are absolutely imperative." :iid Elbel. "We have only the word of the officials at present in power for the declarations which have been circulated concerning the smallnss ol our work. We have to have the money or we would not ask it. We have been granted minor appropriations before; why should they be cut off now, at a time we need them the most ." The park board is asking the city council to provide some means for the payments which annually come from the park board fund !'r the several land contracts held by the board. Hither by special ordinance or by appropriation, should this be .lone .'lrcordim: to Elbel. so that the vMim thim left in the board's fundi mav be used in the turthering of park and boulevard improvements in the city. On the other band, members of the present administration claim that the park board is receiving no more than its just deserts. It is held by some that the board had upn several occasions "Mitten off more than it could chew." when it asked for certain streets to he pined tinder its jurisdiction. That the park board in taking over the lands now known as Kavma and Kreiirhbaum parks, did so in order that the city could be forced to pay tin- assessments resulting from the installation of the r.owman Creek sewer, is another accusation made against the board. The donatnrs of thesv properties are frank in admitting that lhev donated the property to avoid the $ i2:'..0eo in assessments which resulted in the assessing for the sewer. However. Mr. Elbel declared that whatever value the property lias as park land was greatly decreased with the removal of the brook that ran through the two lands before the sewer went through. Mr. Elbel further declared that the troubles now existing in the ranks of bis board and fdher otllces of the city hall, would not in the hast affect tho stand of the board in the matter of pushing to the utmost all park improvement now before the commissioners. "We are aboe politics." said one member of the board. "We would Itp the work of the park board one of the cit's mo-d important and necessary municipal initiations, above a plane whereby it would become cmbroiled in the political scuftle. We are non-partisan and expect fair play from everv one of our associates. "We ask fair onsideration by the council. The city of South Mend is a naturallv beautiful city, and its parks should be of the hnest. Its boulevards are of the finest, and its residents ami property holders are clamoring for a lengthening of tho lorn; string of boulevards now running through the city. We would do all this work if we had the money." "STEADY" GIRL HAS CHANGE OF HEART Coloretl Man Iimi -cd by Court When His Sweetheart Decides to Drops 1 1 targe. Trcvo Rrll. colored. 10J: X.

... .. , , Elkhart Men Want to Eliminate Certain Portions of Lincoln Road. Representatives from Klkhart apI prared iteiore tne county commi--.ioa-i ers Monday morning and presented a proposition whereby it is proposed to shorten the length of the Lincoln highway between .South Rend and Rlkhart and also to clintinateVi railroad crossing. Ry this plan the highway to Klkhart would follow along the north side of the C. S. R. X. 1. interurban track from Osceola to Elkhart. Under present plans the Lincoln highway crosses the interurban tracks at Osceola and continues straight to the county line ami thence on to Coshen. At the county line the Klkhart highway, as now planned, would follow northward along the county line, crossing the interurban tracks again, and thence from the county line directly east to Klkhart. Ry the newplan, presented to the county commissioners Monday, St. Joseph county would have to build one-half m i of new road and Klkhart county juld have to build four miles of ne' oad. E. L. Arnold, lawyer, and . . M. Smith, contractor, of Klkhart, with W. L. Stephenson of Goshen, were tho men who presented the new plan to the commissioners. It was said that a large part of the right of way for the proposed new road had been secured in Klkhart county. The claim was made that nearly the whole burden of the change would rest on Klkhart county but that it was favorably considered for the reason that it would afford better communication with ?outh Rend. The county commissioners were of the opinion that if the new road should be built by Klkhart county there would be little doubt but that St. Joseph county would make the connection from Osceola as requested. No assurance of such action could be given, however, and the commissioners merely agreed to secure an estimate of the cost of the work to be considered at the meeting of the board next Monday. Messrs. Arnold and mith will lrd present again at time. that GARAGES MUST STORE GASOLINE UNDERGROUND Storage Tanks Within Fire Limits Must He lliiricd Says State I'iro Marshal. South Rend has felt the grip of the wholesale orders sent out from the oflice of the slate fire marshal that garages, cleaning establishments" and other local dealers must place storage tanks containing more than 10 gallons of gasoline below ground. The orders were sent out about 10 days ago with a provision that the changes must bo made before 40 days elapsed. Local garages are not hard hit by the order as they already have storage tanks underground. Cleaning establishments however will be affected by the rules. The dangers from explosions of gasoline in lires has made the enforcement of the rule imperative according to word received from the oliiee of the state tire marshal. A Hood of inquiries have been sent to the lire marshal concerning the new regulations. There is no escape from the rules within the lire limits but outside of the lire limits gasoline in large quantities may be kept above the ground provided it is stored in tanks constructed of metal of the required thickness. 1 Q T TT VI rilTT O rPT) 4 H Tr OJjllj U 1 JjLO 1 llALlV AND NAB "DIPS" Crooks Arrested by Railway Detectives Haw Many Xaincs ami Alleged KcconU.

Within the next month there will be an opportunity to take civil service examinations at the South Rend j postoilke for important government, positions paing from $1000 to $-700 j a year. These examinations will be , given provided there are any apph- j

cants tor the positions whicn are open. - The government is now in need of a metallurgical chemist for the Frankford arsenal at a salary of S1.S00. An expb sive chemist for the bureau oi mines at Pittsburgh. Pa., will receive from 2.1m0 to $2,700 a year. An assistant editor in the for- ; tst service is also wanted at $2.u00 a year. other positions to be tilled j are those of win elwright, Indian j sf rvice, instrument maker, apprentice electrical engineer, assistant in mark eting business practice, ordnance j draftsman, iunior ceramic chemist i and laboratory aid in seed testing. The lirst examination will be held on July 2 and the last for the positions named will be he held on Aug. IS. Full information regarding the examinations can be secured from S. '. Tipton, secretary of the civil service board or from I. L. Karhart, district secretary. 4 0:, Government bldg., Cincinnati, O. Examinations are held practically every day1 for government positions where there are applicants but it is comparatively few of the applicants who qualify for the positions. The examinations are all rigid and an applicant must be well equipped to qualify for even the ordinary positions. The number of those who apply or pass for the higher paying positions is extremely small so that it is unlikely that there will be any applicants in South Reod for the positions named. The last examination held in South Rend was in March for the position of rural mail carrier. The railway mail service and postoMiee service are perhaps tfcc most popular among those seeking government jobs. The vacancies1 in these departments have been few recently and there has been no examination within the last year and a half. There is a place of some sort waiting for nearly all of those who are desirous enough of holding a government position to make preparation. There are many applicants for the ordinary positions but the competition is comparatively small for the places requiring technically trained men who can earn large salaries.
