RESIDENTS CAN'T AGREE
ON CAR LINE EXTENSION
After Asking City for Route Prop
erty Owners Object to Any of
Three Locations.
BOARD SHELVES MATTER

A knotty problem is presented to the
Board of Public Works in the choice of a
route for the proposed Pennsylvania-street
car line extension. Even Engineer Jeup is
at doubt in the matter. Three are proposed
along Pennsylvania street. Talbot av-
enue or Delaware street. Residents on the
respective t~horoughfares, however. have
objected and there are other considerations
TO further complicate affairs.
The board did not reach q decision yes
terday and postponed the petition indef-
nitely. Property owners who want the
extension must now get together and reach
an agreement before the board will act
further.
The opinion of the board that a concrete
bridge should be built over Fall creek at
Northwestern avenue is not shared by
some residents in the vicinity of the bridge,
who want a stone structure. On erection of
the new bridge the board c~ontempletes put
ting the old structure at Senate avenue,
where a bridge over Fall creek is wanted.
/. n. Richie, representing the Indiana
polls, Logansport & Chicago Railroad, and
ty along Missouri ssreet from Market street
to kentucky avenue, protested against
paving that street at the section designat-
ed. The l., l.. & c.. representative asks a
postponement of the Improvement for at
least another month, when it expects to
have plans for its Washington-street ter
minal building completed. He said that to
do the work now would necessitate tear
ing up the street when the railroad starts
work on its right of way. The matter was
| postponed until March Is.

MADE On
X LAW CASE
Supreme Court Hears Important
Suit Brought to Collect Prop
erty Assessment.

Oral arguments were heard yesterday in
the Supreme Court on Voris VS.. Pittsburg
Plate Glass Company.
The case involves a section of the Bar
ret law, and is appealed from the Howard
Superior Court. William H.. VOris, of Chi
cago, is attempting to enforce a street i'm
provement lien upon property of the Pitts
burg Plate Glass Company in Kokomo that
was never assessed, although it lies within
$50 feet of the street. Mr.. Voris is the
holder of street improvement bonds that
were issued ten years ago.
Attorneys for Voris held that TO the
clause in the statute which provides that if
the abutting property does not sell for
enough to pay the expenses, land within
80 feet OF the street shall be subject to sale.
The attorneys for the appellee argued that
the purchaser of bonds must be regarded
as having taken the personal obligation of
the owner of abutting land. They declared
that the clause of the statute applied only
in case immediate steps are taken by the
contractor to enforce payment, and an as
sessment is duly levied on back property.

Former Governor w. S. Taylor. of Ken
lucky, has been made defendant in a suit
for $50 filed by Russell Brown, a negro bar
Der.
The plaintiff demands the money for
services during the troubles succeed
ing Governor Goebel's assassination.
II is charged that the ex-Governor's noun
taineer body guard required the BARRIERS
attention before they could be made pre-
sentable. Brown says he did the work and
demands $50 for his services. Brown now
lives here and works on North Alabama
street.
Regarding the suit Taylor's attorney,
Charles A. Weathers, made the following
I'm view of the fact that a partisan press
has. in a sensational way, given this undue
prominence for the manifest purpose OF
injuring the defendant, 1 feel 1t not out of
place to say that repeated attempts lave
heretofore been made to extort money from
Governor Taylor and not wholly without
success. Governor Taylor does not owe this
man one cent on any account, 1 have no
doubt

Registration Is Copied in Ad-
joining State.

When the Indiana State Board of Chari-
ties was first organized 1t was planned
after the Ohio State Board of Charities.
The Indiana board, however. has made such
rapid strides that the Ohio board is now
following in its wake. Sometime ago Off
GERS of the Ohio board visited Indiana pris-
ons TO secure ideas on the plans of con-
struction to be carried out in their own
State.

annual report of the Ohio board, in which
the secretary has recommended his board

used by the Board of Charities of this
State. According TO the methods each in
stitution sends TO the office of the board
minute reports as to each inmate, thus
furnishing valuable information both for
the records of the office and for sociological
study.
