1Hs institute helQ at E0garC
last Saturday was oneof the best
and most interesting held in tkil
parish in many a day. The pro.

the most pleasant features Of the
day,
The afternoon session was
even more spirited than the norn~

Work of razing the old fremont
block, northeast corner of Eighth and
Main streets, will start some time be-
tween Jan. 1 and Feb. l, and as soon
after this work is completed as is pos
sible. the Dickinson Trust company
will begin work on one Of the hand
soonest bank buildings in the country.
The new building will occupy only
a part of the quarter of a block the
present structure covers. 1t will
stand at the corner of Eighth and
Main streets, having Main street
frontage Of between 40 and AZ feet
and will extend to Sailor street,
depth of 165 feet.
1t was also announced today by Ed
gar F. Hiatt, president of the Dickin-
son Trust company, that the directors
had almost decided to place four or
five story commercial block on the
site between the new bank building
and the alley to the east, giving it a
Main street frontage Of 80 feet and
a depth of 165 feet.
To Organize Company.
1t is planned to organize building
company controlled by the trust COM
pany to erect the proposed commercial
block
The corner building will be devoted
almost exclusively to banking pur-
poses and for the use of the general
public. In the rear Of the building 1t
is planned to have one or two bust
ness rooms on the first floor. facing
North Eighth, with office suites on
the second and third floors.
The front of the bank building will
be only one story but its heighth will
| be that of the average three story
building. The structure will be of the
most handsome material and the in,
terror is to be beautifully decorated
and furnished.
! Plans Rest Rooms.
| One unique feature the new bank
| building is to have is a public meet
ing place in front Of the big banking
room. On one side of the lobby lead
ing from the Main street entrance will
be large assembly room for women
On the other side Of the lobby will be
a similar room for men. These rooms
will be dedicated to the people OF
Wayne county. for their own personal
use," said President Hiatt II think
the women will especially appreciate

something Richmond has needed for q
long time"
Then there will be other feature:

proval of the business men of the
community" continued Mr.. Hiatt. ''lr
the rear of the mems assembly room
will be small conference room where
anyone can meet for the purpose o.
transacting private business. In the

City Building Inspector Hodgin to-
day firmly set his foot down on the

ing the holiday season of gaudily trim

and crepe paper
Such decorations are forbidden by
the building code and | will enforce

HOdgin said The law reads

poses and In no case shall combustible
material be allowed in contact with

HOdgin said he went into one store
yesterday and found paper of varied
hues hung about the electric wiring
from front to back. This merchant
was taking change Of having "A most

"If Christmas trees are used nc

JONES CLEARS UP
PURCHASE OF CAR
Road Manager Explains
Oversight in Making Rec
ord of County Here. '

w. o. Jones. county road superin-
tendent, said today that the county
commissioners based the purchase Of
an automobile runabout for the road
department on an opinion sent out
last spring from the state auditors S
office which says that no ADVERTISE
ment is required in the purchase of
supplies or machinery for the road de-
partment
The road superintendent said this
was done because in road work it is
practical at times to use only one
make Of machinery and by selecting
the kind best suited to the needs, the
delay and expense of advertising is
saved.
I'm the large amount of business the
commissioners had on hands when the
automobile was purchased, they for
got to make their approval a matter
Of record Immediately" Mr.. Jones
said. "The approval Of the purchase
was made before bought the machine
and it was an oversight that the
record was not entered until two
weeks later. There was no intention
of any illegal procedure on the part
of the commissioners"

Optimism Marks Feeling of
Delegates From Thirty

Of its amalgamation with the Republi-
can party, r. G. Leeds of this city said
today on his return from Chicago,
where he attended meeting of party
workers representing thirty-fou states
Mr. Leeds is national committeeman
from Indiana.
Republican successes at the elec-
tions this fall have not discouraged
Progressive leaders in the least" Mr..
Leeds said. All of them gave the
same analysis of the result-a starved
out citizenship abandoning principles
for the time being in the hope of re-
storing national prosperity; a case Of
placing bread and butter ahead Of re.
forms the American people know must
be incorporated into our scheme of
government. They blamed the Demo
cratic party for the existing condi-
tiOn of affairs and turned to the Re-
publican party for relief only because
they did not think the Progressive par
ty had at this time the strength to de-
feat either of the two old parties.
When Industrial conditions become
normal once more you may expect
the Progressive party to become a
dominating political influence
Mr. Leeds says those men who came
from the southern states all made en-
couraging reports. They predicted
that the Progressive party would be
instrumental in breaking up the solid
south" The young men of the south,
il was reported. are thoroughly disgust
ed with the Democratic party, but un-
der no consideration would the ma
jority of them affiliate with the Re-
publicans, so they are now turning to
the Progressive party. The election of
a Progressive congressman in Loulsl-
ana this fall is Indicative of the grow
ing strength Of the new party in the
south, it was reported.

MATHEWS CLAIMS
HIDDEN MORTGAGES
FOR "A TAX LEVY
Assessor Uncovers Seques-
tered Documents Valued at
$1O5, 00-Expects to Put
$4,000 on Sheets.

Sequestered mortgages amounting
to S1O5. 900 have been unearthed by
County Assessor Mathews.
Mr. Mathews announced today that
he would begin his investigations Mon
day He estimates that more than
$4,000 will be placed on the tax dupli-
Gates.
One Of the mortgages is for $4,000.
Others are for $4,000 and $4,000 There
are forty-eight mortgages valued at
more than $1,000 and ten below that
amount
If the estimates are correct. the find
ing of the sequestered mort
cages by Mr.. Mathews will
bring the county approximate
ly $500 in taxes for the year
1914. Some of the documents were
issued four years ago. Delinquency
can be collected on them. While it ia
impossible to estimate the amount OF
delinquency it is believed that 1t will
equal the 1914 taxes
File Four Mortgages.
Last week four mortgages which the
holders did not try to sequester but
which We're missed by assessors were
placed on the duplicates They
amounted to s13.50O and were listed
al $4,000 for taxation purposes The
delinquent tax will not be collected
on these because ii was not the fault
of the holders that they were not
taken by assessors.
Mr.. Mathews is working on other
cases which he will not make public
at this time. He said he would en-
deavor to have a complete list of all
sequestered property which he has un-
covered this year by the first week in
January when he viii make a report
to the state association of county
assessors.
The fact that fifty-eight mortgages
were sequestered is another convinc-
ing argument that the taxation Of
mortgages is unjust, Mr. Mathews
said.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1914-12-04

tectural basis will be such as to give
local contractors the greatest latitude
in bidding in part or all of the work.
This was required by the directors for
the purpose Of encouraging local build
ers and providing employment for as
many Richmond men as possible.
Local architects will have an op-
portunity to secure the contract for
drawing the plans of the proposed
commercial block to the east of the
bank building, which, feel confident,
will be constructed next year, and the
same encouragement to local contract
ors to bid in the work on this building
will also be given" Mr.. Hiatt said
plans for the commercial block arc
indefinite at the present time. We
have several plans in mind The
building will be four or five stories
high. One plan is to have several
store rooms on the first floor, the up
per floors devoted to office suites and
possibly a moving picture theatre in
the rear with an entrance either on
Main street or North Eighth street
Another plan is to construct hotel to
be operated on the European plan with
business rooms on either side of the
lobby leading from the Main street
entrance We have had several hotel
propositions submitted. Within the
next two or three weeks some con-
crete plan will have been decided on
l can say that it will be one of the
handsomest business blocks in the
state.

said he had never attended one of
these meetings and did not intend to
be present tonight.
II was elected by the association
but never accepted the appointment"
Mr. Kennepohl said. Il don't seen any
use for such an organization. The
mayor has plenty of salaried assistants
to transact city affairs without having
volunteer organization of citizens to
help in this work. No good can be
accomplished by it."
BiickwedeI Balks.
Adolph Blickwedel, who also was
elected as one of the South Side I'm
provement association representatives.
said he did not intend to be present
at tonight's meeting.
'It don't do any good. and there
isn't any use for such an organiza-
tion," Mr. Blickwedel declared.
Two or three other members Of the
board, representing other organiza-
tions, have resigned, and there are sew
eral vacancies which will have to be
filed if the board is to accomplish any
effective work.
George Guyer, the secretary, rep
resenting the West Richmond Improve
ment association. said that he did not
know what business would be brought
up for consideration tonight. but he
presumed the proposed ornamental
lighting system would be discussed.

PARIS, Dec. 4.-The Germans have
West Flanders to the region between
Ypres and Dixmude and the allies
lines at that point are being subjected
to continuous bombardment. Evi-
dence that the allies have been hard
pressed in that quarter is found in the
official dispatches to the war office to
the effect that more dykes have been
cut in order to extend the floods south
of Dixmude.
The trenches north of Ypres which
were originally held by the British.
have been strengthened with fresh
French troops, and the arrival of more
heavy artillery, which is needed to
combat the concentrated big gun fire
of the invaders.
Railroads Blocked.
So urgent was the call for fresh
troops and heavy guns in that region
that the railway lines became blocked.
1t is reported from ST. Omer that some
of the wounded who fell in the fight
ing early in the week are still at the
front
The activity on the eastern end of
the battle line continues. The French
army of the Moselle has occupied
three or four strategic positions on
the eastern bank of that river within
the last forty-eight hours, but nothing
further is heard of the operations OF
that section Of the army Of the Mo
selle which is trying to establish con.
tact with the outer ring of forts at
Metz on the southwestern side of the
city.
Storms Interf
From authoritative reports it is cal
culated that there are at least 1,3OO0
900 men facing each other on the bat
tie front from Ostend and Armen
there's. The Germans are credited with
having 100000 men, while the British
French, Belgian and Indian troops in
