The letter told how on July 30. 1853,

MUNICIPAL PLANT
ASKS new ENGINE
To Seek Appropriation of
$4,000 from City Coun-
Gil This Evening.

When council convenes in regular
session this evening it will pass an
appropriation for $4,000 for the pur-
chase of new engine for the munich
pal light plant, upon the recommends
ton of the board of works and Sup
erintendent Nimrod Johnson. The
present engine is inadequate, not be-
ing able to develop the amount of pow
err required. Approval of the project
was given by the board of works in
secret session. This was done for fear
that if it was given publicity the oppo-
sition would commence solicitations
for patronage on the ground that the
municipal plant was unable to cope
with the situation.
The new engine will be capable of
developing go horse power and will
drive the 500 kilowatt generator. 1t
will have a fly wheel weighing $4,000
pounds. 1t was at first proposed to
make improvements on the present en-
CINE to meet the increased require,
ments, but a trip to the Hamilton, O.,
engine works by Superintendent John.
son, City Engineer Charles. and How
ard Gluys, engineer at the light plant,
showed that these would cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000, and that a new
engine would be better investment
The appropriation will be made out
of the light plant fund which now to-
tails $26,S52. There is a sinking fund
also amounting to $4,000.
The old engine has been in use nine
years and has been in operation on an
average of 16 hours out of every "a.

STARR MAY RESIGN
From High Position with c.

Henry c. Starr, former resident of
the city, and now general counsel and
vice president for the c. & o. railway
of Indiana, with headquarters in Chi
cago, is to leave the employ of the
company, according to report in cir
culation in Richmond. 1t is said that
if a change in the administration of
the company is made whereby Mr..
Starr will go elsewhere, that it will be
made known in a short time.
While practicing in this city, Mr..
Starr became interested with eastern
capitalists in the promotion of the old
c., r. & Nj. railroad, later the c., c.
& l.. and now the c. & o. Railway of
Indiana, the connecting link of the
great eastern and western Systems of
the Hawley syndicate. 1t is under

EXTEND CAR LINE
into R|vERDALE
Company May Take Stock in
Amusement Park and
Increase Service.

Within week or so John Appel, the
real estate agent for the Terre Haute,
indianapolis and Eastern Traction
company, viii meet with the commit
tee OF tho Commercial club and take
up the proposition Of the company pur-
chasing stock in the Hawkins park pro-
ject. Should the company do so. It
would not only endeavor to assist in
the exploitation of the amusement
park proposition but this would be the
entering wedge TO the company's de-
velopment north of the railroad.
Eventually this development will mean
that the company will have belt line
in Riverdale, which will include Reid
Memorial hospital and a crossing over
or under the Pennsylvania railroad.
probably at Eighth street.
On a visit to general manager Todd
at indianapolis recently, the CONNER
cial club committee brought up the
proposition. He was much interested,
believing that it would not involve a
great risk, but would prove a profita-
BILE venture both to the city and the
company. He assigned the investiga-
ton OF the project to Mr.. Appel. The
latter has not requested for date
with the committee, but is expected to
do so soon.
One entrance to Riverdale would be
over the Nineteenth street bridge,
while the Other would be down town.
The belt line would add several miles
to the company's lines and give them
a large amount of business in the
North End, particularly to and from
the amusement park and the hospital.
The company will be asked to sub
scribe for fifty shares of stock in the
amusement park proposition.
