CLOSING UP ITS AFFAIRS.
West Indianapolis Council Prepar-
ing to Step Down and Out.

All the members but Councilmen Brown
and Shockley were present at the special
session of the West Indianapolis Council
last night. Two petitions were presented
signed by eighteen citizens each, but both
of them were referred to the committee on
safety and comfort, to be reported upon at
the next meeting of the Council. One petit
ton was for water mains in Harding street,
from Morris to Miller street. This would
require about $500 feet of pipe. 1t was re-
ferred to the committee by tie vote. which
was decided by the mayor. The other petit
ton was for an electric light at the inter-
section of Harding and Lambert streets, al
though there is already light at the cor
ner of Lambert and Williams streets. not
over three hundred feet away. A bill from
John X. Wilson for court charges incurred
in 1892 was presented but the Council re-
fused to allow it, il was not informed on
the matter. The charges were incurred in
a case of the suburb vs.. John Roster. The
Council does not seem disposed to do any
thing more for the suburb before it is taken
into the city, and il is hardly probable that
the petitions referred to the committee on
safety and comfort will be returned with Il
favorable report. The proposed new school
building which is being talked about in the
suburb will never be ordered by the Coun-
in that body for over a year. Its policy
now is to close up its business so as TO turn
matters over to the city authorities in good
shape, and il will do nothing further that
will add to the suburbs indebtedness and
prove detrimental to the city.

TO NAME THE BUILDINGS
SUPERINTENDENT GOSS WANTS
SCHOOL NUMBERS DISCARDED.
school Board, but No Action
Was Taken.

At the regular meeting of the School
Board last night the subject of annexation
was touched on briefly. Mr.. Russo inquired
If 1t would be necessary for the board TO
take any action in that connection. Pres
ident Scott replied that inasmuch as the
annexation had not yet been completed it
was probably little premature TO take any
steps at present. He remarked that if the
annexation were completed a special meet
ing OF the board could be called. Mr.. Adam
said that as the time for taking the school
enumeration would be short, and as it had
to be completed by May /, it might be We'll
for the Iianance committee to consider the
probability of having new territory TO cover
when arranging for the enumeration.
The finance committee was authorized to
take the necessary steps TO have the enum-
GRAFTON made, and to make appropriations
TO meet the expenses.
A communication signed by the super
intendent of schools and the supervisors
suggested that it would be the proper
thing for the board to designate each
school building by an appropriate name in
stead of by numbers, as at present 1t was
suggested that in consideration of the
great work that had been done by Super
intendent Shortridge it would be but fit
the new school on Park avenue the Short
ridge building. There was some difference
of opinion as 10 the advisability Of making
this change. and the entire subject was re-
ferred TO the committee on buildings and
grounds.
A contract for wiring and placing electric
bells in the Park-avenue building was
awarded TO the Indianapolis District Tele-
graph Company at S2i the lowest OF three
bids
superintendent Goss submitted a report
showing that the total number of pupils
enrolled at the end of February was 123l
greater than for the same time last year,
while the average daily attendance was but
46l greater. This he thought was partially
due TO the bad weather.
The committee on buildings and grounds
was not thoroughly satisfied with a prop
osition to place a heat regulating apparatus
in the Park-avenue building for Sl,161 for
all rooms, or 81, OPS exclusive OF the assem-
bly, room. and was given until the next
meeting to agree report
Mr.. Blackledge reported that the commit
tee had made arrangements with Mr.. Dryer
TO conduct the dog tax cases Tor 500 less
than his old arrangement with the board
provided and moved that the work or the
committee be approved. ThiS was done
without discussion.
Last night the new manual OF the schools
was placed on the desk of the commissions
erS for the first time. Mr.. Adam called at
tention to the fact that no provisions Tor
a spring vacation had been made in the
calendar He said that Superintendent
Goss explained TO him that a number of
the teachers and supervisors thought IL
would be better not to have a spring Vaca-
ton but that they would like TO have the
matter settled at once. Mr.. Adam mo- ed
that the board direct that vacation De
had the first week in April. This motion
