needed, since our Tomlinson Hall and many
other smaller ones can be had at any time.
indianapolis is now the central city OF
the United States and will remain so very
probably for a long time. 1t is growing
rapidly. and additional hotel room will, as
the need of 1t during the late convention.
We also realized the fact that the City Hall
is inadequate for great national conven-
lions. Accessible land can be got east and
northeast south and southeast and west
and northwest of the city. The State owns
lands near the Deaf and Dumb Asylum on
which building might without hurt be
erected. Other land near there can be
found. Going south farm lands join the
city at the south end oRf5arheld Park and
beyond the city limits n mile land has been
sold for $500 an acre lately. Southwest and
west of White river there Is a great body
of accessible land reaching along Big Eagle
creek. While northwest beyond the river
there are fine tracts OF land not too far
away. But these are details to be con-
Sdered hereafter.
~ make these suggestions. for to me II
is apparent that Indianapolis is soon des-
tined to be one of the great and important
cities OF the United States Nothing can
impede or retard its growth but lack Of
enterprise and forethought on the part of its
citizens. We must look forward TO greater
things than we have done. They will be
thrust upon us unless we turn our backs
upon the immense progress of our State
and Nation. Not a city I'm America has a
culable development. Legislation is needed
to give the counties power TO do the things
] have suggested for the State. Each coun-
ty should have its park. it's great place for
assemblies of the people, its athletic
grounds. it's horticultural and forestry sta

CITY MAY SUE.
Probability of Asking for an In1unc-
ton Against the Water Company.

In conversation Friday concerning the
new developments in regard to the city
water, DR.. Morrison, of the Board of
Health, said that in a short time, proba-
bly, within two weeks, something would hap
pen, but would not say what that some
thing is. He left the impression that some
new action would be taken by the city.
Yesterday it was learned on fairly good
authority that this action is a contem-
plated suit against the company, asking
for an injunction to prevent the company
from using any water whatever from the
ever This is partially borne out by the
contents of a letter received yesterday by
DR.. Ferguson from f. a. W. Davis. The
letter stated that the company was now
drawing over seven million gallons of water
daily from its wells and that it was willing
and anxious to have DIR. Ferguson seal
the valve connecting the gallery with the
river and thus prevent the use of river
water. This supply of water can probably
be taken from the wells now. for there has
been q great deal Of rain in the last month,
and il would probably continue all winter,
but next summer it would fall far short
of that amount and at a time when the
consumption Of water is much greater than
in the winter.

THE OPENING OF COURTS
RECENT LONG VACATION SHOWED
REDUCTION IN NEW SUITS FILED.
September Term Finds 2,576 Cases
Pending i'm the Superior and
Circuit Court DOckets.

Several years ago, before there was
Labor day, the first Monday in September
was fixed as the first judicial day of the
September term of the Circuit and Superior
Courts, Since the Legislature fixed upon
the first Monday in September as Labor
day and made it legal holiday the courts
have, in fact, convened on the following
day. Tomorrow is, therefore, the first day
of the September term of the courts, but
the term in fact begins on Tuesday
The long vacation that has just passed
was more quiet than the one of last year.
There was slight reduction in the num-
Der of new suits filed during the vacation
this year as compared with those filed dur
ing the vacation last year. This year there
were filed in the Superior Court 1872 new
cases and in the Circuit Court eighty new
cases. Last year there were filed in the
Superior Court 392 new cases and in the
Circuit Court ninety-five. The September
term of the Superior Court this year finds
1,576 cases pending on the dockets, dis
tributed as follows: Room l, 494; Room 2,
537; Room 3. 545. In the Circuit Court there
are pending on the civil and claim, or
estate docket 1000 cases. This gives to-
tai of 2,576 cases pending in the Superior
and Circuit courts combined. During the
year from Sept. l, 1885, to Sept. l, 1885, there
nave been filed in the superior Court 2,443
cases and in the Circuit Court 54S cases,
making total for the year in both courts
of 1891 cases. During the same period
there have been 2S2 estates docketed in the
probate department of the Circuit Court,
and liz guardians have been appointed in
the same department. The litigation in the
courts has caused the issuance of 1S5 de-
creeS in the Superior Court and twenty
live in the Circuit Court, making a total
OF 210 DEGREES issued. In the same time
there have been issued from the Superior
Court "a executions and from the Circuit
Court fifty, making a total of 2o4 eXecu-
tons issued during the year.
This litigation made it necessary to
make 10,Uu0 pages of complete record.
This is, as its name would indicate, COM
plete record of every case in which there
was judgment rendered affecting the title
to real estate. There have been $50 tran
scripts appeal to the higher courts
where one or the other of the litigantS
not satisfied with the judgment of the court
below. These transcripts are of various
lengths, some of them being exceedingly
bulky and some to the other extreme in
breVity. Among those of extreme brevity
was the apportlonment suit which resulted
in the Supreme Court declaring the appor-
tionment act of 1885 to be the only act on
the statute books not successfully at
tackled. Since Sept. /, 1895, the sheriff has
sold 200 pieces OF real estate and returned
his certificates thereof to the clerk of the
court.
