NEW ALBANY'S WATER PLANT.
A Measure of Interest to People OF
indianapolis.

The House ways and means committee
yesterday afternoon decided to give a sec
ond wind to Mr.. Cardwilrs bill, enabling
the city of New Albany to purchase its
own water system by the issuance of bonds
secured upon the plant itself. The indebt-
edness of New Albany already exceeds the
per cent. limit, but Mr.. Cardwill believes
it WOULD be legal to issue these bonds with
a first mortgage lien upon the water plant.
This effort upon the part of New Albany
to control it's own water system suggests to
Indianapolis possible means Of placing the
local system under municipal ownership, as
the conditions here and at New Albany are
somewhat similar, although this city has
not exceeded the limit of its Indebtedness.
When franchise was granted the New
Albany company it was provided that the
city should purchase the plant after twenty
years. and an advantage may be taken of
this provision next spring If the city so de-
sires. Much trouble has been experienced
with the water company, as the intake is
from the river below the city, thus shutting
or q Ntisfactory sewer arrangement. A1Ts

PROBE THE MAJORITY
SCHOOL BOARD TO BE INvESTI-
GATED IMMEDIATELY.
Greene Smith VIII Also Come i'm for
Share of the InqufsitiOn-Com-
mittee Appointed.

Just before adjournment, yesterday aft
ernoon, Speaker Adams announced the fol-
lowing gentlemen a committee to in
vesugate the affairs of the School Board of
the city of Indianapolis: Mr. Moore, of
Putnam, chairman; Mr.. Petit, of Wabash;
MIR. Remy, of Bartholomew; Mr.. Bobilya,
Of Allen, and Mr.. Gregg, of Porter. The
resolution calling for the investigation had
been reported favorably by the Indianapolis
committee during the afternoon, and the
Speaker showed desire to promptly COM
ply with the spirit of the resolution, by
naming the committee to investigate within
an hour after the report had been made.
Mr.. Moore will be given the opportunity to
conduct the examination, which SO many
citizens of Indianapolis believe will develop
further scandal. The gentlemen will hold
a meeting within few days and determine
the date for beginning the investigation.
Greene Smith will also be required to
bring his books before an investigating
committee, composed of members of both
houses and explain how he made his enor-
nous income while Attorney-general of the
State. The office of State Treasurer during
the last four years is also to be inquired
into. This action was determined upon at
the afternoon session.
In the morning the House spent much
time in discussing the Miller-Bowers con-
test, but when a vote was taken at noon,
on resolution to refer the entire squabble
back to the committee on elections, the
Speaker found, much to his disgust, that
there was no quorum. present. In the after
noon he took steps to prevent members
strolling away from the chamber and en-
barrassing business, by having the door
keepers lock the doors. He also spoke in
rather strong, but courteous, words, calling
the attention of careless members to the
duty they owed the State and their con-
stituents in attending the sessions.

committee reports and new bills. The COM
mittee on finance recommended the indefi-
mite postponement OF Senator Boyd's bill,
providing for the treatment of inebriates
at public expense, but, at the request of
Senator Boyd, action on the report of the
committee was withheld TO allow hear
ing TO committee OF ladies who wished to
advocate the passage of the bill. A few
minor amendments were suggested to the
bill of Senator McManus, providing for the
appointment of police matrons, and, as
amended, the bill was recommended for
passage. The committee banks made a
favorable report on Senator Stuart's bill,
providing penalties for officials of any State
bank who receive deposits after the bank

neyss fees where an employee has to sue

proposed changes and present his bill

Coroner Castor Objects.

Coroner Castor when at his Office
yesterday AFTERNOON, was very indignant at
the manner in which the Legislature is
handling the bill for the regulation of his
office. The bill places the coroner on
salary of 5000. Coroner Castor said:
1.-The Senate passed that bill without even
examining into the justice of it. There are
not five men in the Senate who know any
thing about the coroner's Office, but they
go ahead and vote on the bill, nevertheless.
The injustice Of it comes in when they
change the basis of this office while ! am
the incumbent. I spent my. money In the
campaign in trying to get the office, but
would not have done SO if there had been
only a salary of 5000 attached to it. If
the salary should be placed at $4,000 there
would be a saving to the county of several
thousand dollars year, yet it would be
fair salary at least -

Indiana universities, Claims.

President Swain, of the State University,
and President Parsons, of the State Nor
mai School, were before the ways and
means committee last night, asking for in
creased appropriations for their institu-
tions. The State University wants a di-
rect tax of one-sixth of mill, which, 1t
is calculated, would give the university
5000 900 a year. Purdue and the State Nor
NAL would be satisfied with a tax of one
sixteenth of a mill each. President Smart,
of Purdue will appear before the COM
mittee to-day. The appropriations for the
various State institutions will not be fixed
until later in the session, on account of
the several bills now before both houses
affecting taxation.

No Successor to senator Thayer.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Ind, Jan. 29.-It is the prevail
ing impression among the leaders in Wa
bash county Republican politics that no
successor will be elected to the late Hon.
J. D. Thayer, of Warsaw, whose death
on Monday leaves a vacancy in the district
composed of Wabash and Kosciusko coun-
ties. 1t is argued that after call for
days notice must be given, and by the time
the successful candidate is chosen and has
qualified the term will have expired, MIR.
Thayer was a "hold-oyer' Senator. Demo-
Gratis have nothing to gain, as the district
is Republican by over $500, and there is a
fair Republican majority in the Senate
without a successor to Mr.. Thayer.
