SYSTEM BID
THE PREVAILING SENTIMENT is
THAT 1T Is EXCESSIVE.
Members of the Council Say They
VIII Not Vote an A~pprOpria-
tion for Extras.

The Board of Safety will meet with oppo-
sition should it try to make a contract
with the Gamewell Fire Alarm Company
on the basis of the bid that was submitted
to the board by the ~company's representa-
tives last Friday. When the question of
improving the fire department was brought
before the City Council some time ago the
committee on finance asked for estimates
on the work that was contemplated, and
among the estimates furnished was one
for a complete new fre-alarm system. The
first estimate brought before the committee
was considerably less than ss5, 600. and
later another estimate for So, 900 was fur
nished the committee. This was said to be
a fair estimate of what a new fire-alrm
system would cost. Members of the COM
mittee believed that a new system could
be installed for less than that amount, but
decided to appropriate SIS, 600 to cover all
the cost OF a thoroughly modern system.
me Board or Safety advertised for bids,
and but one was received, that of the
Gamewen Company. The bid for the entire
work was $69,34O. being s4,34O in excess of
the amount appropriated by the Council.
The members of the Board of Safety have
stated That they will not accept the bid
at once, but will thoroughly investigate ii.
Other city officials say the biu should be
rejected, as 1t is too high. and they in
~ tAot iiC4O was COlluSlOu among
the manufacturers of such systems. The
Board OF Safety held a conference with the
representatives of the Gamewell Company
Saturday, and proceeded on the hypothesis
that the bid would be accepted. The bid
and the attitude of the board has caused
several councilmen to express themselves
as being vigorously opposed to such a bid.
Should the board decide to accept the bid
as 1t now stands the Council would De called
upon to appropriate A.430 additional to what
was originally appropriated. and this the
councilmen say they will not do. Some of
the members of that body said yesterday
that they will never vote for an additional
appropriation should this matter come up.
as they believe $65, 900 should be sufficient
to pay for a new fire-alarm system. The
Board OF Safety will probably take some
action in the matter this week.
The water contract Is still in the hands
OF the councilmanic committee on contracts
and franchises. and there has been but one
meeting held to discuss it. Chairman Ey-
ans Will probably call another meeting This
week. and then it will, no doubt, be agreed
to return the contract to the Board of
works, with recommendations that II be
amended to meet the views of the Commit

BLOCKED WITH ICE.
New York Harbor Still in Bad Shape
for Navigation.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The ice blockade
in the North and East rivers and In the
harbor still continues, but it was not as
severe to-day as 1t was on Saturday. Still
there was great inconvenience on the North
river for persons who were trying to catch
trains. The ~ferryboats made better time
than they have for several days, but they
were from five to ten minutes late on each
trip. The ice was thickly packed on the
New York side OF the North river and on
the Brooklyn side of the East river be-
cause the wind drove it in that direction.
The boats of the South Ferry and Hamil-
ton-ayenue lines had the greatest difficulty
in making their slips on the Brooklyn side.
The Staten island boats, by taking a
course in toward the Jersey shore, made
their usual trips on schedule time. River
men say that one or two days of warm
weather will break up the blockade.
On account of the ice, which is solidly
packed In the slip at the foot of Morton
street, North river, the French liner, La
Champagne, which reached quarantine this
evening, was compelled TO anchor there for
the night. Tug boats will .be engaged to
smash the ice in the slip tomorrow morn

RAILROAD SUBSIDIES.
Reasons Why the Present Law should
DC Repealed.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
One of the most bitter fights going on In
the Legislature is that being made for the
retention of the railroad subsidy law. A
very powerful lobby is on hand to prevent
the repeal of this obsolete and ebnoxious
statute. Every kind of manner Of means
is being resorted to to prevent members
from voting as they should vote-for the
repeal of the law. Unless the home con-
stituencies make their influence felt on the
right side of this question at once there
is grave doubt of the repeal being effected.
People groan under the burdens of unjust
taxation. but when succor is offered fire.
quently fail to grasp it. Nothing but eter-
nal vigilance and fight can protect against
the onslaughts of the men and corpora
tons who, In the language Of the day, are
"out for the stun Every member of the
Legislature who votes to keep on the
statute books of Indiana such an iniquitous
measure as the railroad subsidy law should
be marked for retirement, and permanent
retirement, from official service.
In our ~neighboring State of Illinois there
is a constitutional provision against rail-
road subsidy laws, and there should be a
like provision In our fundamental law. Any
one who cares TO do so has the utmost lib
erty to subsidize railroads &c his hearts
content out of his private funds. but il
is an outrage pure and simple for one man
TO possess the power TO vote away another
mans substance except for the necessities
of government. If this law is not repealed
we will nave to face here in indianapolis
the question of voting 100000 or more for
the construction of the Indiana Southern
Railroad within thirty days after the adj
journment of the Legislature. This scheme
is not dead, but merely sleepeth. II the
representatives of Marion county vote on
this bill in accordance with the sentiment
of their constituents the death knell OF the
subsidy business will be sounded.
The Legislature has a splendid oppor-
tunity In the repeal of this law to show
itself proof against evil Influences. II

SCHOOL TRANSFERS.
Reasons Why the Pending Senate Bill
Should BE Rejected.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
One of the most important questions be-
fore the Legislature is the transfer of
school children from one school corporation
to another. This question becomes more
important from year to year as the ten
dency of modern civilization to flock to the
towns and cities increases. Along with
this movement 10 population centers comes
the development of graded and high
schools, and the concentration of the school
children in graded and high schools. With
better teachers and better equipments will
come a larger drift from the country 10
the town and city schools. With such con-
ditions it is evident that the transfer law
needs careful and conscientious considera-
ton. In the outset I desire TO say that / Go
not believe it is or should be the purpose
of any school corporation to make money
out of this transfer business. The inten-
ton of the law is to provide better and
more convenient school facilities in certain
localities. The question of the rate Of tut
ton is one of plain facts and figures, and
any sentiment or prejudice. 1t is a plain
business proposition. I believe that no adj
vantage should be taken by one corpora
ton over another. ] also believe that the
school corporation to which a child is trans
ferred should be paid for the goods fur
nished and delivered. and that the price
should not be below the cost OF instruction.
In 1899. after a most careful and painstak-
ing investigation, the Legislature fixed the
rate for transferred children at $1.O per
month in the grades and 50 per month In
high schools School statistics the state
over will show that these prices were far
and equitable. Objection has been made 10
this law on the ground that the rates are
too high and that 1t favors town and city
schools as against the country school. Such
objection is not we'll founded. as facts and
figures will show. The report of the super.
intendent of public instruction for the year
ending June 20. 1900. shows that the cost
of instruction in the township schools CT
the entire State per capita on a basis OF
enumeration was 5000. The report further
shows that the attendance for the year
was only IS per cent. of the enumeration.
This would make the cost per capita on
average attendance in the township schools
$3.50. Bear in mind that transferred chill
dren are paid for only for actual time at
tending the school 10 which they are
transferred. Again. the superintendent's
report shows hat the average cost per

generation and in the present. "A mighty
spiritual impulse" he said, comes in
evitably TO men who come in touch with
the Influences at Northfield. Mr.. Moody
was too wide in his sympathies 10 con-
fine himself to one place or State. His in
fuence has been exerted throughout as
wide a sphere as that in which the Anglo
Saxon race predominates, and il has been
a mighty influence for God, which We must

Moody's work at that place and at North
