NEW PHASE OF QUESTION.
Board in Doubt About Ordering
eStreet-Car Line Extensions.

Acting on numerous petitions submitted
by citizens of different localities of the
city the Board of Works was about to Or
der the Indianapolis Street-railway Com
pany to make a number of important eX-
tensions to its system when the franchise
petition of the Interurban Terminal Com
pany was filed. For the reason that some
of the extensions which were to have been
ordered are to be laid on streets asked for
by the Interurban Terminal Company, the
board may delay action for some time. The
extensions contemplated were to have been
ordered on the following streets: Southern
avenue, from Shelby street to Garfield
Park, putting a loop in Garfield Park.
East street from Morris street to Neb-
raska. Cornell avenue, from Thirteenth
street to Thirtieth street, or perhaps two or
three blocks farther north. This proposed
line is intended to relieve the territory
east of College avenue, where an extern
sion has been asked for some time. The
proposed Cornell avenue line leaves the
Brightwood line at Thirteenth street and
Cornell. Cornell avenue is named in the
petition of the Interurban Terminal Com
pany. Columbia avenue, from Nineteenth
street. north In Martindale avenue IS
Twenty fifth street. Bismarck street, from
West Michigan street, north to Emrichs-
vile, every other West Michigan-street
car to take the Bismarck route.

EXPERT CONDRON's REPORT.
1t VIII he Presented to the Board
of Works To-day.

Bridge Expert Condron, of Chicago,
whom the Board OF Works selected TO make
a careful examination OF the bridges over
White river, will make a formal report TO
the board this morning at 10 o'clock. Major
Megrew received a telegram yesterday
from Mr. Condron that he would be present
al the time stated 10 make his report. He
expected 10 report yesterday but was I'M
able TO be present
1t is believed that the report TO be sub
mitted by the bridge expert will show that
the structures not in the best and
safest condition. 1t is thought that he will
recommend certain repairs. Whatever the
report may be il is expected 10 have some
influence in deciding the question as to
whether the county shall assist the city
in building the new bridge at Washington
street. The report will of course, have no
bearing on the legal points involved in the
question, but If IL shows, as is expected,
that the city will have 10 spend several
thousands OF dollars in repairing bridges

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE. Ind. Feb. l2.-To-mor-
row a business session OF the league will
be held. The election OF officers will take
place and there may be a revision OF the
constitution. Some favor a plan TO hold the
meetings Of the league every two years. so
that they will take place during campaign
years each time. There appears 20 be quite
a contest for the presidency. and both Mil
Ter and Crumbaker seem confident. For the
office OF secretary there does not seem TO
be any avowed candidates. Grant Mitchen-

he ought TO serve another term.

OLD CONTRACT RATIFIED
AGREEMENT WITH SHELBYVILLE e.
SOUTHEASTERN COMPANY.
1t Was Made with the Indianapolis
Street-RaiIway Company More
Than One Year Ago.

The Indianapolis, Shelbyville & South
eastern Traction Company has notified the
Indianapolis Street-railway Company that
it is DESTROYS of maintaining the contract
made with Hugh ]. MCGOWAN more than
year ago for the use of the city company's
tracks. Mr.. MCGOWAN made no new offer
to the Shelbyville line nor until the receipt
of it's communication apprising him of its
willingness to continue the old agreement
did he address a letter to ii.
President MCGOWAN said last night that
there has been no new contract of any sort
made with the Indianapolis. Shelbyville &
Southeastern line. The article printed in
morning paper to the effect that the Shell
byville company had broken away from the
other companies is incorrect, he said, and
has no basis in fact No new deal of any
sort has been contaminated, since there
was no necessity for a new agreement.
The old contract made with the Indian
apolis Street-railway Company was made
by the Shelbyville line under the name Of
the Indianapolis & Shelbyville Heat. Light
and Power Company. Some objection, he
says was made by the stockholders to con-
tinuing the contract with his company UNI
der that name and it was considered best
to renew the instrument under the name
by which the Shelbyville line is now
known-the indianapolis, Shelbyville &
Southeastern Traction Company.
In the renewal asked for by the Shelby
vile line no change is proposed in the
terms of the old agreement. The compen-
sation to be paid for the use Of the tracks
of the Indianapolis Street-railway Com
pany-three-fifths of the local fares col
lected-remains the same, as well as minor
provisions. The Shelbyville company has
refused to act with the companies compos-
ing the Indianapo polls Interurban Terminal
Company, he says and, therefore, cannot
be considered to have severed relations that
