PRAISE FOR INDIANAPOLIS.
~Civfl-Servfce commissioners Speaks
Highly of Our mas

Postmaster Albert Sahn was very much
elated yesterday as he pointed out COM
plimentary notices of the Indianapolis Of
fee in the eleventh report of the Civil
service Commission. The report is for the
year ending June, 1894. but IL is always a
year behind in reaching the postofices.
The first notice says:
1.-THE Indianapolis Office Is another Office
which, from being a very bad office from
a cfvil-service point of view. became a very
good office under the late postmaster. and
continues TO be a good office under the
present postmaster"
In another place II speaks of the employ
ment of three men by ex-Postmaster Wal
lace contrary TO the civil-service rules.
They were discharged. the report contin-
ues. as soon as II was shown TO the post
master that their employment was lille
gal. Since this time. the report says, there
has been no cause whatever for complaint
against this Office.
The attempt TO levy an assessment by
V. VI. Backus. in December, 1892, of $500
against the mail carriers for the purpose
OF making up a deficiency OF that amount
I'm the campaign funds. was reviewed by
Commissioner Roosevelt. Nh. Roosevelt
says:
.sThe climax of political absurdity is
reached when an attempt is made TO COL
lect money from government employees by
a Democratic campaign on the
ground that, thanks to the operation of the
civil-seryice law, these same employees have
been kent In Office nearly four years under
q Republican administration.

At the meeting of the School Board last
evening there was some talk regarding the
reorganization of the board which takes
place next Monday. The minority will prob
ably not make a fight and the present Off
GERS will, no doubt, be reelected. There
was some talk regarding what might have
been expected had the recent elections in
three Of the districts gone differently from
the way they did. The minority members
were very meek last evening and the bust
ness to be transacted was hurried through
without incident. The most important mat
ter attended TO was the adoption of the
resolutions introduced by Mr.. Russo author
Ning the finance committee to borrow $780,
900 for current expenses and new buildings
and furnishings. The committee wants &c.,
coo Of this Immediately. The notes will be
dated from July !, 1895, to Jan. 81, 1896.
Mr.: Blackledge asked Mr.: Russo II any
could be obtained on SO short notice. Mr..
Russo replied that no efforts had been made
and no bids had been asked.
why is il that in so important a matter"
asked Mr.. Blackledge. "the chairman of the
committee did not notify the board before
considered and proper advertisement made
for the bids?' Mr.. Russo replied that he
anticipated no difficulty in obtaining the
money and the resolutions passed wlthoul
further consideration.
Adolph Scherrer. the architect. submitted
estimates for the alteration of the buildings
on the Ricketts, property adjoining the
High School building, so they may be used
for school purposes. MIR. Scherrer esti-
mates that the alterations will cost $3.50
and the seating capacity of the changed
buildings will be three hundred The sum
mentioned by Mr.. Scherrer was appro-
priated for the necessary changes.
The school commissioners of Woodruff
Place asked the board TO continue the old
arrangement, whereby the children of that
town may. have all the school privileges
of the children of the city. The Woodruff
commissioners say it is the purpose to in
crease the school tax of the town 10 -
cents on the s100 and all this will be given
TO the Indianapolis board for the school
privileges asked. The arrangement was con-
tinued. The recommendation of p. J..

CAUSE OF PIE DELAY
EXPRESS COMPANIES SLOW IN RE-
TURNING RECEIPTS FOR ACTS.
Uncomfortable Negligence on Their
Part Retards of the
Governors Proclamation.

There are still five counties that have
not sent in their receipts for the acts of
the last General Assembly. They are
Allen. Jackson Noble, Starke and Wayne.
The last acts were sent out on June 20,
but all were out TO these counties by the
18th. They were sent out as follows: Allen,
June 10, by Adams express; Jackson, June
IS. by United States express; Noble, June
IS, by United States express; Starke, June
10. by American express, and Wayne, June
IS. by Adams express. 1t has been init
mated that the express companies are hold
ing pack the receipts in the interest of
the Democrats for the local campaign, so
as to make the enforcement of the Nichol-
son law begin as near as possible with the
opening of the city campaign. 1t took the
American company seven days to deliver
the acts TO Lawrenceburg and 1--WE days 10
"A letter placed i'm the postoffice here one
evening will reach Lawrenceburg in time
to get an answer back here the next day.
vet il took the express company almost
two weeks 10 deliver the acts and get a
receipt. In the case of Versailles, Ripley
county. the package of books was placed in
the office of the United States Express
Company June IS. and the clerk of Ripley
county signed the receipt June 20, yet II
did not get back here until the 18th, or
the acts to the Clerk. Versailles is four
miles from a railroad. but it has a stage
which makes the round trip twice a day.
Most of the receipts that have come in
are not dated, so that it is impossible TO
fell whether the delay was in delivering
the books or in returning the receipts. The
counties that are still out were the last to
he supplied on account of their being of
easy access and il being thought best 10
leave them 10 the last so those that were
more remote or not on direct railroad lines
could be supplied first. Wayne county,
where it is possible to'get the receipt back
on the same day the shipment was made,
has been out ten days. while Allen. which
should require two days or three days al
the most. has been out thirteen days.
Wednesday Deputy Secretary of state
Wright telegraphed all the delinquent
clerks 10 know why the receipts had not
been sent in. Up 10 the closing hour yes
terday no answer had been received from
any of them.

ASPHALT ON ST. CLAIR.
Council Committee Decides to Recon-
mend the Improvement.


mend the Improvement.
The committee on streets and alleys from
the City Council will report favorably on
the resolution providing for the improve
ment of ST. Clair street from Massachusetts
avenue to Mississippi street. At a meeting
of the last night the matter was
brought up. and by a unanimous vote of the
committee. it was decided to recommen the
work. ST. Clair street will be improved in
two sections. The first section. extending
from Massachusetts, TO Park avenue, will be
twenty-seven feet In width. From Park
avenue to Mississippi street the width will
be twenty-four feet. The entire thorough
fare will be laid with asphalt over a six
inch foundation of Portland cement con-
crete. The committee heard a few remOn-
s~trators.
The committee considered the ordinance
covering the cutting up OF streets. but on
the advice of the city attorney will recon-
mend that IT be stricken from the files. 1t
nance would conflict with the power OF the
Board Of Public Works in contracting with
gas and water companies.
City Attorney Scott, in a communication
10 the committee. declared his belief that
the proposed amendment to the section reg
ulating hack license was untenable. He was
oil tns OPINION mat the old ordinance hav-
ing, already been amended. would be void
with the new addition, and If not, the
change would impose the burden OF taxa
ton on a few vehicles. while the great ma
Jority OF persons carrying baggage and
freight over the public streets would be re-
lfeved OF the taxation. This, he thought,
would be unjust, and advised that the COM
mittee make an adverse report.
The question of the annexation to the city
or certain territory on the east side, was
formally discussed by the committee. Chair
man Drew was not in favor of passing the
a~nnexating ordinance until after the city
mas been redistricted. He thought this re-
Hto az sA..ll -
election, and did not think it advisable to ex-
tend the corporate limits at this time. 1t
was decided TO defer action in the matter
until something definite was known about
the political boundaries.
