MONEY FOR A LEGAL FEE
THE COUNCIL ASKsD TO APPROPRI-
ATE SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS
To Pay the Expenses Of Arguing the
School Bond Case-works Board
Affairs-Municipal Notes.

An ordinance was introduced in the
Council last night providing for an appro-
priation OF $500 to help defray the expense
of securing General Harrison to make an
argument before the Supreme Court of IN
diana in the school bond cases. The
dinance was recommended by City Con-
troller Johnson who accompanied IL with
letter saying the services of General Har-
rison In this matter were necessary. Mr..
Johnson also sent a letter to the Council
from Charles w. Moores, of the School
Board, in which the latter set out the
cessity Of employing General Harrison to
make the argument in support of the
validity of the school bonds in the appeal
now pending in the case of Campbell
against the city. The fee to be paid Gen.
eral Harrison is 5000. of which $500 has
been subscribed by two public spirited citi-
School Board. The school commissioners
ask the Council to appropriate $780, the
rest to be paid by the holders of the bonds.
Mr.. Moores says the employment of Gen.
eral Harrison Is not only wise step, but
in the present very grave emergency it is
necessary. Mr.. Moores says decision of
the Supreme Court against the city and
School Board will not only invalidate the
school bonds but will inevitably render
worthless many recent issues of municipal
bonds by the city, such as those issued
for the purchase of the park system, for
equipment of the fire department and the
like. City Attorney Kern and Attorney
Baker of the School Board, favor General
Harrison making the argument. The ordi-
nance introduced last night was referred
to the finance committee.
Councilman Billingsley introduced an or
dinance to annex the territory between
point 200 feet east of Central avenue and
Meridian street and north of Fall creek to
Thirty-eighth street. 1t was referred to
the committee on ordinances.
An ordinance. was introduced to change
the name of Ash street to Ashland avenue.
Councilman Munro introduced an ordi-
nance to regulate the salary of the tele-
phone operators employed by the Board of
Safety and fixing their salary at S225 per
day. The general salary ordinance inter-
fered with the payment of these men and
a special ordinance was deemed necessary
to fix their salaries. 49,
A communication was received by the

of Fall Creek.


The old question of Strengthening the

before the Board of Works. This subject
was discussed before the last board and
plans were prepared, but no definite ac-
ton was ever taken in the matter. Yes
terday delegation from the vicinity OF
Fall creek and Senate avenue called on
the board and Theodore f. Harrison and
Calvin Darnell stated tnat the petitioners
desired to renew the old petition for
Strengthening the creek from Capitol ave-
nue. to the Big Four bridge. The plans pre-
pared four years ago provide that the new
channel shall begin at Capitol avenue and
run just south of Twenty-third street and
straight west until the old channel is in
tersected. Yesterday the petitioners wanted
the same plan adopted with the exception
that the new channel run straight west in
Twentyfourth street. The board suggested
made through assessment Of benefits and
damages and this seemed to throw a dam
per on the enthusiasm of the petitioners.
They were not inclined to offer suggestions
as to the assessment plan. The party was
asked how many were in favor of paying
assessments, but they decided they were
unwilling to have the improvement made IL
IL were to cost them anything. The present
bed of the creek would be reclaimed by
those whose property abuts 1t. Should the
creek be Strengthened a bridge would be
built at Senate avenue. The board will

my interest in that property. and 1t then
became a question of my laying down the
cares of office and retiring to private life
There was some talk of my retiring from
the Big Four, but Mr.. Vanderbilt said to
me that as 1 had been with the Big Four
ten years there was no reason why /
should not continue along just the same.
He desired me TO remain, and / decided /

of it-with the result that the eastbound
situation has become abominable. sup
