AN OLD CHESTNUT
SPRUNG BY BOARD

Unless the street car company be
gins tearing up its tracks between
Tenth and Fifteenth streets, on North
T. street. when Contractor Meredith
commences paving the street, the com
pany's franchise will be taken away.
This chestnut was cracked by Mayor
Zimmerman for the 1lS97th time when
the board of works met this morning.
The board is always planning taking
some company's franchise away. al
though up to the present time it has
never done anything of the kind.
Meredith was ordered to begin work
on + street next Monday. A section
OF the street car franchise provides
that the company must repair its
tracks. including their replacement in
cement. and paving between and on
each side of the rails for Is inches.
The company was notified by City
Clerk Bescher.

ton Young. who was arrested March
81 ON the charge of petit larceny. hav-
lng attempted To steal an overocat
from former chief of police Jesse
Bailey at the Coliseum. The young
man. who formerly lived at Eaton. was
bound over to the circuit court. the au-
thorities hoping To give him a heavy
sentence inasmuch rs he had served
two terms In the Ohio State penal III
stitution.
Having saved approximately 5000
while working in Richmond. Young ar
ranged for this amount of bail. He
was to appear In the circuit court on
April J. however the authorities have
learned that upon gaining his release
under bond. the young man went To his
boarding house and packed his trunk,
Since then nothing has been heard
from him and the authorities fear that
justice will be served by the collec.
ton of the $500 bond. lnasmuch as
Young may have known the intentions
OF the authorities to give him stiff
sentence he probably figured il was
cheaper to give up his title To his saw
lngs.

Criticism is being heaped upon the
insanity commission by friends Of Mr.,

with the young man including DR.. Gen

young man is insane and they are not

TO INCREASE RATE
Next Month, ? Cents Mile,
No "Nickels Split" Is
to Be Charged.

On April 10, substantial revision
upwards of the passenger rates of the
eastern division of the Terre Haute,
Indianapolis and Eastern Traction Co.
and change in policy of operation of
the interurban cars will go into effect
ductors of the company. The increase
in rates is made possible by a fran
chise granted to the Richmond Street
and lnterurban company in 1902. which
is almost a joke. from the standard
OF modern franchises. and by the en-
actment of the Indiana legislature at
its last session.
Without any other means of combat
ting the increase the regular county
patrons of the line propose to stop
travelling on the traction and use the
steam road instead, whenever possible
it is reported.
That the increase is not the result
of lack OF business is positively
known.
According to the notice served on
one of the conductors. but with which
lptdi OlllCldIS ulSCtdlIn IdINl1dTltN. the
rate after April Is will be two cents
a mile straight. The company does
not propose TO split nickles" and give
pennies in change. For example if a
person takes an eleven mile trip. in
stead of % cents being collected. the
conductor will demand % cents, ac-
cording TO the understanding of the
conductors. This is possible under a
new state statute.
The company proposes TO avoid nick
el fares. Hereafter from Richmond -
Graves, dime instead OF five cents
will be the fare, il is said. Other
short distance rides will be charged
for accordingly. it is said. Transpor-
tation 10 and from Centerville is 10 be
fixed at 10 cents. five cent increase.
The Cambridge City residents will
probably pay so cents to 35 cents a trip
to Richmond. The Pennsylvania now
charges 10 cents between Richmond
and Centerville and so cents between
Richmond and Cambridge City.
