PARK BOARD GETS
READY FOR 1916
Elaborate Floral Designs to be Put on
River Bank for Celebration of
State Centennial.

Elaborate floral designs will be
placed on the river bank opposite
Howard park and Leeper park by the
park board in Grafton OF the
Tooth anniversary of the state OF H.
diana The action was decided upon
at a meeting Of the board held Fri
day night.
These designs will be made by
growing plants and preparation for
them will neceSsitate the purchase
and planting OF thousands Of crocus
bulbs this fall The work will be in
the hands OF Herbert Briggs of Terre
Haute, who has developed somewhat
similar work for the Terre Haute
park board 1t was through Terre
Haute that the suggestion came to the
South Bend board, but the latter will
work along original lines.
In addition to the crOcuses there
will be thousands of plants placed in
the beds next spring The bed to be
planted opposite Howard park will
cover one-half or three-quarters of
the entire bank. The design will
represent the state seal. thanked on
one side with the figures '1S16" and
on the other with the figures 1916"
The bed 10 be planted opposite Leeper
park probably will contain the United
States flag as a centerpiece. with the
word Indiana" above and the fig
ures 1916" and 1915" on either
side.
At their Friday night meeting the
park board also considered the matter
of widening Niles av. by the purchase
of n half or third of an acre Of
ground from the Michigan Central
Railroad Co The railroad company
has consented TO give up this much
land which would make it possible to
widen the avenue from 10 to 8 feet.
The lack of funds, il is said by men,
bers of the board, is all that stands in
the way OF doing this work immedi-
ately. No more money can be asked
from the city council this year. No
definite action was taken on the mat
ter Friday for this reason.
1t is hoped that the widening can
be done before the proposed paving
on the avenue is done next summer.

COUNCIL LEARNS
ABOUT PLUMBING
Proposed Ordinance is Dis
CuSSed in All Its Technical
Details With Plumbers.

Members Of the common council
and % plumbers spent over three
hours last night discussing the pro-
posed plumbing ordinance which is
before the committee of the whole.
Technical was no name for the multi
tude OF topics that were included In
the discussion and even some OF the
councilmen admitted at times that
such terms as expansion bolts, taps.
branches, deep seal drains, ct cetera
were rather hay expressions But at
each point was taken up and the
plumbers threshed them out newer
light was thrown upon the subjects.
Each OF the plumbers present was
given as many opportunities as re-
quired TO voice his objections and
many points arose. But all were set
tied and none were of enough conse-
quence TO in any way change the
general tone of the proposed ordi-
nance.
When the meeting came to a close
shortly before II o'clock Chairman
Goebel referred the ordinance to a
joint committee composed of three
plumbers, the members of the ordi-
nance comittee and Harry l.. Conrad,
who did a large share Of the work in
arranging the code. This committee
will confer before Monday night upon
several technical points in the ordi-
nance and will then report back TO the
council. Another meeting will be held
Monday night when further action
on the ordinance will be taken.
At the same time the building ordi-
nance will be taken up and read. II
is probable that several special meet
ings Will be necessary before the code
can be either approved or rejected
The committee of plumbers which
will confer with the ordinance COM
mittee and Mr. Conrad is composed Of
George McNabe, George Eller and II.
