MUST HAVE NEW BRIDGES
CITY COUNCIL WILL BE ASKED TO
APPROPRIATE $4,000.
Mayor and Board of Works Discuss
ceives Bids-Municipal Routine.

Mayor Taggart and the Board of Works
spent some time yesterday morning dis
cussing two subjects which are at present
of vital interest to the city administra-
tion-the building of new bridges and the
price of artificial gas. The city officials
were all of the same opinion in regard to
the bridge movement They agreed that II
would be absolutely necessary for the city
to appropriate $4,000 for the construction
of new bridges and the repair of the old
ones. and decided to request the Council to
prepare an ordinance TO this effect. The
recommendation of the city engineer that
new bridges composed either of stone or
Of combined concrete and steel be erected
over Fall creek at Meridian and Illinois
streets and that steel structure be placed
over White river at the West Washington
street crossing was adopted. Mayor Tag
CART said that work on the new bridges
would be commenced just as soon as the
plans could be completed and the money
borrowed. The FAN creek bridges will be
built at once, he said, and the bridge over
the river at West Washington street will
be put up in the fall, when it is expected
the prices of steel and iron will be much
cheaper.
The mayor and the board decided to ap-
point two or three experts to investigate
the assertion recently made by the Indian
apolis Gas Company that it costs so.6S6S a
thousand feet to manufacture gas. thus
taking advantage of the offer of General
Manager Pearson to examine the books Of
the concern. 1t is understood that special
meeting will be held to-day by the city
officers for the express purpose Of appoint
ing the expert board which is to make the
investigation. Henry Wetzel, who was once
a bookkeeper for the gas company, and
John j. Appel are spoken of as probable
members OF the board.
The question of approving the contracts
OF the new indianapolis Creosote Company
for paving several North Side streets with
creosoted wooden blocks was not taken up,
as the Board of Works said that more in
formation wuld he required on the subject
before any action could be taken.

day visited by man who announced: Il

notorious department Of his brain to To-
cate DR.. Kelly. He was not successful,
but the doctor enlightened him. DR.. Kelly
was accompanied by Mrs. Kelly and they
stated they were from Ehrmandale, Vigo
county. 1t appeared that some two months
ago the actions of DR.. Kelly did not suit
his spouse and she shot him. The doctor
went to a hospital and stayed there for
some time and while recovering from the
effects of the lead poured into him a recon-
Citation was effected. TIE doctor further
explained that after he had recovered he
and his wife had a little difficulty with an
other person at Ehrmandale, and he was
put under bonds to keep the peace. He
claims he was made to sign an affidavit
to keep away from the town. so they left.
Now they desire to return, and he says
he has been told that If he should do so
he will be arrested for perjury after having
made an AFFIDAVIT TO remain away. He
wanted to know II this was the case or If he
would have the right TO go back. Mr.. Had
ley told him he certainly would not be ar
rested for perjury, but that IL might be
possible an indictment would be returned
against Mrs. Kelly. The couple left the
ONCE without declaring what they will do.

from one to three years for petit larceny
was yesterday paroled by Governor Mount

his mother, brother and a sister have
died of the same disease. He is now unable
to do any hard work, and petition signed
by many citizens of Madison county was
presented asking that he be paroled. His
prison record is not good, as he was received
May IL, 1898, and was reduced 10 the lowest
grade on June following. He was restored
10 the middle grade the day before the fol.
lowing Christmas. Superintendent Hert
said that under the circumstances he would
not oppose parole, although, should Woods
recover he would be opposed TO him beins

strict condition that Woods report every
month. This condition has not been strictly
observed in the past, and, beginning with
this parole, Governor Mount will insist that
the reports shall be made.
