MAcADAM TOO EXPENSIVE.
Impressions of N Local Investigating
Committee Recalled.

Now that Capitol avenue Is to be inn
proved with macadam, it is interesting to
recall the impressions that Mayor Denny,
the members of the late Board of Public
Works, Messrs. Wildman,- Kramer and
Meyer, City Engineer Brown and Council
men Young, A. A. Kuhn and r. o. Hawk
ms received last year on the occasion of
their visit to Chicago to inspect Michigan
avenue. The party entered carriages and
struck out one morning for the headquar-
ters of the South Park Commission for the
purpose Of securing some knowledge of
Michigan avenue. AS soon the carriage
struck the macadam surfacing of Mich
igan avenue the smoothness with which
they had ridden over asphalt and block
perceptibly disappointing to Them Car
riages that they met were covered with
passing along the avenue. The rough street
was surfaced with granite, but as they left
this part and entered upon the limestone
surfacing the movement of the vehicle was
easier. The granite dressing is used. they
learned, where the travelling is very heavy
and the limestone where it is lighter Po-
eight squares, according to the distance
down town. to keep the ice carts ana heavy a,,s
officials talked with Secretary Foster OF
the South Park Commission, and when he
was asked the question whether macadam
is expensive he replied:
"Macadam is the most expensive pave
ment in the world.
A sprinkling tug is necessary every seven
squares. 1t takes one man to keep seven
eighths of a mile properly, sprinkled. A
force of men is employed with. brooms,
shovels and .wheelbarrows. and the street
is flushed twice every year. Secretary Fos-
ter said that it costs about II cents
square yard a year to keep up the mac,
adam, which amounts to AZ cents a lineal
foot. The total cost for five years of gran
ite macadam would be S.. 40 in Indianapolis,
and of limestone macadam about S3.05. The
five years must be considered, because the
asphalt contractors agree to keep the street
in repair for five years, while no such con-
tract could be made on a macadam street.
j. r. B. Van Cleve, former city clerk,
who lives on Michigan avenue told the
committee that macadam street is always
dusty or muddy. The Indianapolis party
came home admiring the macadam pave
ment in many ways but convinced that it
is an expensive form of street. Some of
the party were much opposed to laying
Capitol avenue with macadam, among them
being Mr.. Kuhn and Mr. Hawkins.

REGENTS MAY BE NAMED TO-DAY.
Governor Says He Is Ready to Act
with Other State Officers.

Governor Matthews said yesterday that he
is waiting for the Republican members of
the State regency appointing power to sig
Nifty when they are ready to have meet
ing. He had determined, he said, to act
with the commission in this case, but had
asked the members to notify him if they
intended to practically ignore him in the
selection of regents. He desired, he said,
that there should be no politics in the mat
ter, but that the commissioners should
meet and confer about the board, so that
only the best men should be selected. On
the other hand. the Republican members
say that they are waiting on the Governor
him yesterday that they were waiting his
pleasure. 1t is probable a meeting will oc-
cur to-day.

that he is very anxious that no mistake
should be made in regard to the selection

TOO MANY CONSUMERS
ONE REASON SHOWN WHY THE
TRUST HAS NOT SUFFICIENT GAS.
superintendent ShnckIeton shows
that Another Pipe Line Would
Help Solve the Problem.

The investigation of the Consumers Gas
Trust Company by the Council and citi-
zenS' committees was resumed last night
in the Mayors Office, but it did not SAVIOR
much of an investigation. 1t was almost
wholly argument by the representatives
of the company and the members of the
committee. Besides the Council committee
NJ. B. Wilson was the only member pres
ent. Both sides showed considerable lack
Of courtesy during the evening. In the
beginning William Fl. Shackleton, field and
construction superintendent for the Trust,
was placed on the stand. Judge Lamb at
tempted to question him, and had pro-
ceeded as far as asking two or three
questions when Councilman Allen shut him
off in rather abrupt manner and told
him that the committee would do the ques-
tioning. Judge Lamb said nothing, but sat
an attentive listener. Mr. Shackleton then
read a long paper, supposed to be state
ment of his knowledge of matters con-
nected with the trust. but which turned
out to be an argument for the meter sys-
tenn, coupled with few facts and fig
ures. The most important point brought
out in the testimony was that the princi-
pal cause of the short supply Of gas last
winter was the fact that the company has
more consumers than it has pipe capacity
into the city. The statement was made
by MIR. Shackleton and afterward by Col.
Eli Lilly that double the number of wells
feeding gas into the present pipe line
would not increase the pressure at the
city limits, but that d new pipe line for
the new wells would bring in double the
amount of gas. This, it was contended,
would be impractical from financial point
of view, owing te the fact that if people
are allowed to continue using gas as at
present. costing them more for its ex-
travagant use than for using simply what is
necessary, the pressure would soon be re-
duced to a point where it would not flow
into the city at all, thus necessitating ex-
pensive pumping stations.
Mr.. Shackleton submitted a statement
five wells. with an average field pressure
of $50, and in 1885, $50 wells, with an aver
age pressure of 227 pounds. BY dint of
questioning, Councilman Young brought out
company's lines with a pressure of 255
pounds, and that the average does not
mean the average of the individual pressure
OF each we'll, but the average pressure of
the wells taken collectively. most of them
being higher than the average. A number
of wells which are about ready to be aban-
e doned are OF low pressure and this brings
rock pressure is decreasing constantly was
shown by one well which the Trust drilled

to Mr.. Allen and said:
.Mr. Allen, / wish you would state in the
presence of these reporters your reasons
for not coming to the company's Office last
week to examine the books. as you stated
them to the chairman of your committee
This was said somewhat angrily, and
reused the ire of Mr.. Allen. He replied:
II am not accountable to you, and don't
know that am compelled to do so.'
Il would just like for your constituents
to know that you told Mr.. Young that you
did not consider it worth while to do so.

BREWERS ADVICE TO PATRONS.
Tell Them to obey the Laws-NfchoI-
SON Act Considered.

At the semi-annual meeting of the In
diana Brewers Association, Tuesday, at the
Bates House, the effect Of the Nicholson
bill received some informal talk. 1t was
agreed, it is stated, that the brewers
should advise their patrons to obey all the
laws of the State, and then the law would
not restrict their business to a great extent
1.-THE Nicholson law, said Mr.. A. Hagan,
manager of the Home brewery, last night,
lis not much more than a measure to
cause a. stricter enforcement of the pres
ent liquor laws. 1t may hurt some brewers
who have made it a practice to lease
saloons, but the general trade will not be
affected. The remonstrance clause may
cut off some saloons, but men will have
liquor if they want it. If they cannot get
it at saloons they will get it at drug
stores, and if not there they will buy it
by the quart. The present agitation is
only wave of temperance and will pass
away. I myself have seen three such times
in my life"
Are there any new breweries talked of?''
None that know of. The Nicholson law
has at least had the effect to throw a
damper on new investments of this kind
DO the breweries contemplate carrying
the law into politicS?'
Il think not. My idea is that the bust
ness ought to be kept out of politics.

has been evidence that burglars were try

to stop these attempts, and accordingly
arranged a shotgun with the nuzzle to-
ward the window and a wire attached to
the trigger and also to the shutter. go that
any one opening the window would receive
a load of buckshot. Yesterday morning
Kiefer was in the rear room and in some
unknown manner he touched the Wire, dis

most of the charge, but thirteen shot were
later extracted from his side and hip. He
