PREPARE BILL
TO Give PLANT
CIVIL SERVICE

First definite steps to remove the
municipal light plant from politics
we're taken last night when a council
committee met with President Bavis
and City Attorney Bond and drafted
bin to be presented to the legis!a-
ture placing the plant under civil
service.
Councilmen Handley, Howells, Wal.
dele and Steinbrink attended the meet
ing and helped to draft the proposed
act
Copies will be sent Immediately to
Wayne county's representatives in the
legislature and speedy action will be
sought for the bill.
Provides for Civil Service.
AS drafted the bill provides any city
in the state owning its own utility
plant may place it under civil service
and put all employees under the merit
rule.

city.
1.-THE law will provide that the state
utilities commission act as civil serv.
Ice commission also and pass upon
qualifications of applicants for jobs"
he said.
The proposed law contains a list of
the qualification for employees, includ.
ing superintendent, which office it is
aimed to remove from politics before
IT becomes too attractive plum.
Demands Executive Ability.
A successful applicant for superin.
tendent, says the bill, must have

tive ability and fair technical know.
ledge of the plant.
President Bavis says such action Is
made almost necessary because of the
increasing value of the plant and the
increasing attractiveness of the posi-
tons OF superintendent and chief engi-
neer.
There Is agitation now to make the
superintendent pay $4,000 year," he
said. This makes an alluring prize
and might offer inducements for some
person or persons dumping money into
an election to control that appoint
ment."
The law would affect about rs en-
ployes Of the Richmond plant.

clerks. w. e. Carpenter, president Of
the Dry Federation, and other promi.
nent Prohibitionist leaders. were on
the floor during the debate and the
voting.
His Political Death Warrant"
The principal speeches In behalf OF
the bill were Representative Wright
and Representative Miles. Represent
atives Of Lake county voted against
the bill because they said their con-
stituents would nbt favor 1t. The rep
resentatives from. South Bend said the
same thing. The Indianapolis delega-
ton divided. Representative Vesey,
Fort Wayne, Republican, aroused the
Prohibitionists by stating that his
county would vote wet by at least
10000 and that he signed his political
death warrant by voting for the bill.
Representative Cravens, Democrat,
made the most dramatic speech
against the bill and then voted for it.
He is the leader on the Democratic
side. He said that the Democratic
party in Indiana has had an unholy
alliance with the liquor interests for
many years. but that the result of the
last election freed it from any further
obligations to them. He charged the
liquor interests with helping defeat
Taggart for the Senate after Taggart
had served them as good friend for
20 years.

/ his home and it was not until yester
/ day that he felt like telling what he
