He Wants City Officials to Know that
the indianapolis Southern Is
Local Corporation.
MR.. MEGREW STILL DOUBTFUL
FRANCHISE WILL BE GRANTED
UPON PROPER SHOWING.
4 Misunderstanding About the Call
ing of COnference-SOuthe
Stockholders VIII Act.

d. NJ Parry, president of the lndianap-
oils Southern Railroad Company, will so
before the Board of Public Works to-mor-
row morning for the purpose of convinc-
ing that body that he and his associates
in the company are sincere in their state
ment that they not only intend to build,
but to operate the railroad when built. If
necessary, Mr.. Parry says. that with Court
land Van Camp, Mr.. Stevenson and the
others who are owners of Southern stock,
he will file a bond for as much as the
Board of Public Works believes is evil
dence of sincerity. Mr.. Parry is inclined
to think it is a little peculiar when such
well-known business men as himself and
the others whose regulations are of deeds
and not of words. are compelled to bond
themselves for the performance of an en-
terprise that they took hold of with no
other purpose than to carry it through.
However, he says. he does not wish 10 crl-
ticise the Board of Works, and is willing
to do almost anything to get started with
the construction of the railroad.
Mr. Parry's announcement of his intrn'
tions arose out of a statement of Major
Harold C. Megrew yesterday afternoon.
The chairman of the board was asked
when the Southern matter would be settled
and if the board intends to call the rep
resentatives of the company before 1t for
another conference.
MUST BE SHOWN.
81 have this to say" he said. 1.-The board
is from Missouri on the Southern propo-
sition. 1t is not the boards idea to call the
representatives of the company before 1t.
1t is the part of Mr.. Parry and the mem
bers of the company to come before the
beard and tell it what they intend to do.
What the board wants to be convinced of
is whether these gentlemen intend to build
and operate the road. When they prove
that TO us we will talk franchise.
Mr.. Parry has already stated TO the
board that the Southern Company not only
intends to build the road but to operate
it," said the reporter
Yes, L know" Mr.. MegreW answered;
"but the board wants some definite assur-
ance."
ance? Will Mr.. Parry be compelled to file
a bond with the board as evidence of SIN
cerity?"
The chairman looked at the ceiling and
smiled. He refused to answer the question
at first. THE board will require some sub
stantial assurance. We want to look after
the best interests of Indianapolis in this
matter he said finally.
When Mr. Parry was told OF the state
ment of the chairman he was surprised.
He said that il has been his impression all
along that the representatives OF the COM
pany would be notified when the time came
to discuss the matter further and he had
no idea he required to make further
asseverations He says he is prepared to
agree to anything within reason.

CITY HALL TALK.
officials Agree that 1t Is Not Feasible
at This Time.

While Mayor BookwaIter and the mem
bers or the Board of Works were talking
over the interurban question yesterday.
the old subject of city hall for the
city came I'D and was talked of for a few
minutes.
"Oh, We need it," said the mayor; Eve
need 1t, but where is the money to come
from? Every cent the city can spare must
go to necessary improvements on bridges
and streets 1 am decidedly not i'm favor
of building 4 city hall at the present time"
Controller Breunig agreed with the mayor
that the idea was not feasible. He would
oppose 1t, he declared. Mr.. LOgsdon thought
the plan might be arranged some way
and Chairman Megrew suggested that the
city hail be built by private parties, who
would issue bonds, to be bought by the
citizens. Then. he said. after the city got
on its financial feet it might be able to
purchase the building. Ii was suggested
that the building be erected on the lot
east OF the main market houses, and should
cost $4,000. 1t is conceded to be out of the
question for two years at least 1t is an
old plan much talked of, but always as
CtOpian.

Mayor Bookwalter from the Indiana State

it came from a broken man. Higgins tells
the mayor that he feels he has not long to
live and wishes the pardon for the sake of
his family.

after the letter was received and asked him
to give the letter his attention as soon as
possible. II believe" said the mayor to the

OF making him good citizen. He has had
his lesson"
The Governor has promised to give the
matter early consideration, and il is be-
lieved that the pardon will be issued before

with extensively in the annual report OF

found here. In most of them the trees
were burned The scale was found in
twenty-four counties. Besides Indianapolis.
Il was in greater quantity in Evansville and
Madison. In one orchard in Knox county
three hundred trees were destroyed to pre-
vent the spreading of the plague.
Mr.. Troop urges that the State appro-
priation for this work be increased from
81 900 to s., 900. The scale is brought into the
