TEMPORARY CHURCH
PLAN OF CHRISTIANS
Second Church Quickly Out
grows Present Quarters in
Masonic Temple.

The congregation of the Central
Christian church expects to select the
site for it's temporary tabernacle at a
business session Monday night. Trus-
tees will be elected and authorized to
carry out the will of the members.
Members Of the congregation have
practically decided on a lot on the
northwest corner of Twelfth and
North c streets. Plans for the taber-
nacle have not been drawn. A building
with a capacity of from 1000 to 1900
is what the church is looking forward
to, to cost $4,000. The tabernacle will
only be a temporary structure for use
until funds can be raised with which
to build a modern church.
The congregation has outgrown its
present quarters on the second floor
of the Masonic temple.

ONE FIREMAN LISTS
SELF A REPUBLICAN
SAYS He Would Not Change
His Party For Best Job
In The World.
NEW COMPLICATIONS
Only Democrats and Bull
Moosers Eligible to Fire
Fighter Jobs.


4! = eSmpiication in the action Of
Eslse board Of public works in calling
for the designations of all members
of the fire department, except the
chief and his assistant, together with
their applications for re-appointment.
This complication resulted from one
of the most efficient members of the
department, with an excellent record,
applying for re-appointment as a Re-
publican.
After fling his resignation and ap-
pIication with the city clerk, this fire
man remarked that he would not
change his political faith If the best
job In the world depended on such
action.
With the exception OF one or two
firemen, Mayor Robbins and the board
of public works were we'll satisfied
with the personnel of the department,
and, it is understood, planned to re-
appoint all the men with the excep-
ton of those who have been marked
down as undesirable.
To remove the men who have been
placed under the ban, it was decided
to ask for the designations of all fire
men, and to accept the designations OF
those slated for release.
The board honestly does not care
what political parties the members of
the fre department are affiliated with
but In compliance with the state law,
all firemen in making application for
re-appointment have to designate what
party they are members of, for the
same law also provides that the two
leading parties in the state shall have
equal representation on the depart
ment.
Embarrassed by Law.
Therefore, with the desire to have
non-partisan fire department, even
though the state law provides for a
partisan department. the board is EN-
barrassed by the action of one of the
best men on the force applying for re
appointment as Republican, which
is the third ranking party in the state
designations and applications oi
fremen will come before the board
Monday, and the session promises to
be an interesting one.
Whether the board will be compell
ed to let out the Republican smoke
eater because of his politics, can no,
/ be ascertained at this time.

To abolish eyeSOreS and beautlfy the
city is the purpose of the Commercial
club committee on civic imprOV ment
which held its first meeting yesterday
Plans for beautifying the riverbanks,

public Fairgrounds.

working for civic Improvement are
John Mccarthy, John NJ. Lontz, II. s
Weed, J. F, Thompson, and S. e

Others Set Example.
At the suggestion of Professor
Thompson the committee will follow
the example Of other Indiana cities
having river beds, and try to make
slightly places out Of the present
grounds now generally covered by bill
boards and dumps Other cities are
constructing concrete channels anc
walls for their streams and making
parks of the banks. Professor Thomp
sons plan is to cover the banks OF the
Whitewater with flowers and shrub
berry. The committee will visit The riv
er bed and make further plans at the
next meeting.
The c. & O. railroad company viii
be asked to make improvements
around the station. The committee Is
satisfied with the station but suggest:
that fences be erected to hide some
of the unsightly surroundings.
In connection with the effort to- sc
lect shade trees comparatively I'm
mune to disease. the committee plans
to ask permission Of the board ol
works and the property owners from
North A to Main street on Eleventh
to allow an experiment there with
trees The committees object is t
plant fine specimens of trees in sys
tematic manner.
The majority of the committee ia
vored tearing down the rusty iron
fences that surround the social yards
and repla acing them with low hedges
No definite steps have been take1
toward securing sites for Playground
although it was suggested that this
should be done before the prices o
land became unreasonable.

The administration believes there is
general demand for a better lightins
system and he sees no reason why
this Improvement can not be under
taken this year. He will positively
refuse to establish a cluster light sys-
tenn for Main street at the expense OF
the city, but is perfectly willing to
furnish current for such lights at the
city's expense.
The temporary loan of $1,000 obtain
ed for the plant the latter part of last
year was made necessary because of
the expense of the many improve
ments made at the plant in 1913.
This loan can easily be paid off by
March 1, after which the bonded in
debtedness will be the only obligation
Of the institution.
Anticipates Big Surplus.
BY the close of the year. even with
25 per cent rate deduction, Mayor
Robbins anticipates there will be a
surplus OF $4,000 in the general fund
of the plant, but he favors the expen-
diture Of from $4,000 to $4,000 for
