BUSINESS MAPPED OUT
FOR BOARD OF WORKS

A busy time is expected at this mornings
meeting of the Board of Public Works.
Engineer Jeup has decided that the petition
for pavement on East Michigan street con-
tains more names than the petition for
asphalt on the same thoroughfare and will
so report. He will file his estimate of the
cost of resurfacing Virginia avenue, $4,000,
and the board will probably adopt a resolu-
ton.
The resolution providing for the con-
struction of Parry avenue, the new thor
oughfare from Washington street TO Oliver
avenue. along the west bank Of Write river,
with a ten-foot levee along the whole route,
will be up for adoption This involves the
expenditure Of $4,000
A delegation will doubtless appear in the
matter of the Brookside-avenue extension
of the East Tenth-street car line, over the
route recommended by the engineer. follow
ing a petition for another route
At this mornings meeting the board will
also probably sign the new lighting con-
tract awarded the Indiana polls Light and
Power Company Wednesday.

Workman Sues Hotel Managers
for Rings He Found.

The ownership OF four valuable diamond
and turquois rings found by Paul Bishop
in the Spencer House, of which p. A. White
is manager, is causing trouble and will be
decided in the courts.
Last July Mrs. j. C. Robinson, of Chi
cago, registered at the Spencer House, but
just before she left she reported TO the
management that she had been dispossessed
of the rings. The case was reported to
the detectives. but no trace could be found
of the missing jewelry. Mrs. Robinson left
the city, but left her Chicago address with
the detectives.
a few weeks ago Bishop was employed to
do some upholstering for the house and
found the rings in the room occupied by
Mrs. Robinson. In the meantime the ad-
dress Of the woman had been lost and can
not now be found. Bishop, claiming the
rings as his. has brought suit against
Henry w. Lawrence, proprietor. and p a.
White, manager, TO replevin the jewelry.

INSPECTORS ENDsTOUR
OF SUBURBAN ROUTES
Reports to Washington Said to Be
Favorable to Improved Mail
Service.

MED by inspectors, concluded the inspection
of outlying carriers routes yesterday. The
inspectors will embody their observations
in a report to be submitted to the depart
ment at Washington. 1t will be favorable
TO the local office, and probably will not
decrease the number of carriers. More men
will be assigned to the downtown districts,
and the suburban routes will be made rural
deliveries, to be operated by rural carriers,
who will be provided with vehicles. At
present they make the rounds afoot and
much time is lost.
1t is also believed that failure to secure
a contract of the Indianapolis Terminal
and Traction Company to transport the
carriers for stipulated sum was cause
of the change.
