STOP TO STREET PAVING
CONTROLLER JOHNSON AFRAID OF
STRONG IMPROVEMENT BILL.
assessed Valuation the Weak Point
Reduced Interest on Bar
rett Bonds.

Controller johnson was urged to so before
Representative Noels bill reducing the in
terest on Barrett law improvement bonds to
per cent. The opposition to this provision
came from bond buyers and others who
looked upon the bonds as a most desirable
investment. Mr.. Johnson said yesterday
that he favored the bill. improvement bonds
have been bringing a premium, proving that
per cent. was considered very good indeed.
The controller fears that Mr.. Strong's bill
providing that street Improvements shall
not be made in excess Of 20 per cent. of the
appraised value Of abutting land, would have
the effect of stopping much street improve
ment that is desired. He cited the cases Of
Ash and Bellefontaine streets. the property
owners along both of which are anxious for
improvements, only having a difference of
opinion as TO what kind shall be adopted.
Mr.. johnson expressed the opinion that Mr..
Strong's bill would prevent the Improvement
Of either of these streets, for the reason that
real estate is not generally assessed more
than 30 or 90 per cent Of its actual value.
This means, in reality, that improvements in
excess of 10 per cent. of the actual value of
lots shall not be made. That amount Mr..
Johnson thinks would not be sufficient, un
less it might be for gravel streets, and in
some instances not even enough for that
sort of improvement. Mr.. Johnson said if
the bill prohibited improvements in excess
of One-third of the assessed value of the
land there might be less danger of it's cut
ting off improvements that are desired by
property owners.

Grana Lnrv Indictments.

The county grand jury yesterday made Its
final report to the Criminal Court for the
February term The jury reported its visit
to the Jail and recommended that a padded
cell be prepared at the institution for the
care of insane prisoners temporarily de-
tanned. The jury recommended the dis
charge OF the following prisoners for lack
OF evidence on which to find indictments:
William Alexander Woods and Lee Feeler,
grand larceny: Alice Parker robbery; Ma
son Davis, grand larceny. The following
cases were continued: Bert Taylor, assault
and battery; Louis Hyman, receiving stolen
goods; Belle Chenault, receiving stolen
goods; Washington Cross, embezzlement;
Oscar Green obtaining money under false
pretenses and Edward Huff, murder. The
latter is charged with the murder of his
father in North Indianapolis. During the
session the jury examined S6S witnesses and
returned twenty-three indictments.
The jurys final report contained tndict-
ments against DR.. c. l. Fletcher and Attor-
ney Thomas Coyle. These indictments grew
out of the criminal charges made against
Or. Fletcher and Coyie In connection with
the death OF Miss Laura Mcdaniel, of Clay
ton, Hendricks county. The bonds of both
men were renewed yesterday in the sum of
$500 each. DR.. Fletcher's bondsmen are

sknfinr Rink Events.

During the coming week the programme
of events for the Cyclorama Rink will be
varied. On Monday night George Wise will
attempt to lower his one-mile record of
1902, made ten years ago. Considerable in
terest attaches to this attempt, the rec
ord was made on an oblong surface, instead
of round rink, it being the opinion of most
skaters that faster time can be made on
the oblong surface because of the straight
way chances for spurts. On Tuesday night
there will be a "battle Of the knights"
between two contestants yet to be chosen.
On Wednesday night the necktie and apron
carnival will be held. On this occasion
skaters will be expected to wear out of
the ordinary neckties or aprons, and Man
ager Reick will give two prizes of club
skates to the man and woman wearing the
largest tie and apron, respectively. The
next polo game will he between the Cyclic
ramas and the Oneidas next Friday night.

CITY AND WATER PLANT.
Street-Car Funds as a Possible Starter
for the Purchase.

1t appears that the city officials have
about given up the idea of purchasing the
water works. Controller Johnson made such
an intimation yesterday when he was asked
if he thought the $4,000 that is to be re-
ceived from the new street-car company,
if it gets a franchise along it's latest propo-
sition, would make purchase of the plant
possible.
You are not figuring on how we are go
ing to spend that money already, are your"
asked Mr.. Johnson with laugh.
NO. he went on to say, II had not given
that idea thought 1t is my opinion that
the water works will not be bought. If
municipal ownership is a good thing-re-
member say if it is-now is the time the
plant ought to be purchased. / doubt if
there will be another such opportunity As
time goes on the plant will increase in value
1t is said to pay per cent. a year now on
M,UOOOO. OF course, as it increases in value
1t Will be more difficult 10 purchase. If
municipal ownership is the thing, the city
ought to purchase now. Although it has
been found successful I'm some places, 1
have my doubts as to it's ACCESSIBILITY There
is the danger OF drifting into politics, al
though by proper legislation the danger in
that direction could be avoided, L believe"

GAS PRESSURE FIGURES.
Consumers Trust Submits Some in the
City's Suit.

The evidence in the suit of the city against
the Consumers Gas Trust Company was
completed yesterday in the Superior Court.
Judge Carter will look over briefs which the
attorneys win submit before deciding the
case The suit is to determine whether the
Consumers Company has right to cut off
the gas supply from the City Hospital.
The witnesses heard yesterday were all
for the gas company. One of the chief wit
nesses was William N. Shackleton, superin-
tendent of the company. 1t sought to
show by him that the gas company in it's
attempt to discontinue the service at the
hospital was prompted by a desire to look
after the comfort of its private consumers,
and that the company really had no gas to
spare. Superintendent Shackleton testified
to the gradual diminution of pressure which
has become more apparent each year. He
said the company had made every effort
to take on new wells each year and had en-
deavored to supply all those who applied
for fuel. He said that from the time of the
organization of the Consumers Company
up to Jan. l, 1899, ninety-two wells had been
abandoned because of a failure TO produce
gas. The company now has 26O gas-produc-
ing wells. The witness said the wells owned
by his company showed rock pressure
of 325 pounds to the square inch on Jan. j,
1883. On jan /, 1889, the rock pressure was
155 pounds.
Bement Lyman, general manager Of the
Consumers Gas Trust Company, was one
of the witnesses called. He said that the
company for a long time supplied maj
large public buildings and factories, but 1t
found that the supply of gas was decreasing
and began to gradually cut off the large
consumers with a view to giving the pri-
waite residences the best service possible.
1t had always been the purpose of the COM
pany, he said, 10 supply private residences.
Dr. Charles Z. Ferguson, former supern-
tendent of the City Hospital, testified for
the gas company. He was at the hospital
when the building was enlarged and new
boilers and ranges put in. He testified that
they were built so that wood and coal could
be used at any time it was found necessary.
The city had claimed that many of its
boilers were so constructed that it would
require a great deal of time to get them
in shape for using any kind OF fuel except

A Child,s Disposition

May be ruined through existing defects in
eyesight. Children are often called dull and
stupid by teachers and parents through no
fault or their own. Perhaps born with a
defect in sight, they don't know of any differ
ent world FROM that which they see through
defective eyes. Mark any reculiarities that
children may have in looking at objects at a
distance or near by. Squirting, frowning,
looking sidewise, with partially closed eyes
are indications of eye troubles. Better be
over cautious in having child's eyes
examined than to take too much responsible
ity into your own hands. Examination free.
CHILDREN'S EYES
Should have careful attention. They
should be examined at the first complaint by
reliable optician-especially while the
child is in school,
A little care at the prot.er time may save
them untold misery and heir parents much

remedied NOW might prove difficult LATER.

The reforms promised In the Re
publican platform do not meet with
that enthusiastic support on the part
of the republican members OF the
legislature that the people have a
right to expect. A proposed amend
1nent to the constitution to forbid
the granting or acceptance OF passes
has passed the senate, but IN such
form as to cause bitter disappoint-
ment to it's friends. An amendment
to make the acceptance OF pass by
a public official work a forfeiture OF
his office was voted down IN the
in the senate by large majority.
The majority of the senator's in this
state have adopted the Mormon
method of putting things into the
constitution and leaving it to the
legislature in the future to say
whether the provision shall be enforc-
ed by legislation. Why not place IN
the same instrument forfeiture
clause to insure it's enforcement? Or
do our senators hope that future
legislators will wink at the provision,
as did the Mormon legislatures at the
provision in the constitution of Utah
forbidding poligamy? Prohibiting
the use of passes by public officials
has become q public demand, because
the public believes that the granting
of passes is q sort of bribery of the
official. The argument that the
forfeiture clause would be unconsti-
tutional is simply claiming by our
senator's that their constitutional
rights to permit themselves to be
bribed must not be encroached upon,
in other words, that bribery is a
"vested right"

We notice that the bill known ais
"The Lewis primary election law"
was introduced in the assembly last
week. One of the warmest fights in
the Assembly two years ago was over
this same bill, which was finally de-
feated by the machine politicians by a
close vote, and in all probability will
meet the same fate again this winter.
It is a good bill, and is a long stride
in the direction of clean and honest
politics. 1t practically does away
with conventions and places the nomi-
nation of candidates directly into the
hands OF the voters, and OF course
that is the reason that every machine
politician is opposed to it, as it
would certainly ruin his occupation.
But should this measure pass and
become q law, such corrupt and dis
honest tactics could not be practiced
as were witnessed at the convention
held in this county last week.
