NEW HIGHWAY
ROUTES FIXED
Governor Finds Few Objec
tiOns to Commission Plan.

Virtually all the routes included in
the state highway commissions proposed
system, planned under the new highway
law. which requires a system reaching
every county seat and city of more
than 5000 population. were approved by
GOV. Goodrich today.
The governor withheld his approval
If the route from Madison to Vevay and
OF Route 80. described in the commis-
%ion's plan, suggesting that the com
mission examine the route further be-
fore designating them a part Of the
system.
Objection was raised by the governor
to that portion of the Lincoln highway
running from TT. Wayne to Ligonier on
the ground that It would give Noble
county more mileage of state roads
than any other county in the state.
Notwithstanding that Noble county ranks
forty-second in amount paid in taxes.
WANTS NOBLE COUNTY
LEFT TO LEGISLATURE.
The Ft Wayne 70 Ligonier road was
established In the plan by the first COM
mission and confirmed by the legislature,
but after that the legislature passed
the law requiring that the state system
reach every county seat.
If that rule were observed in the case
Of Noble county it would greatly in
crease the countys mileage over the al
lotment fixed by the original plan.
The governor said he would seek g
change in Route Al and conditioned his
approval Of the system on the commits
sion's willingness to have that matter
taken before the legislature.

S., 100000 a year more for a place to
live than before the war.
Forty-seven thousand heads of
families are paying this added rent

ton into the rental situation, emphasize
the need of increased building in In
dianapolis.
The rent of dwelling houses has in
creased an average Of 35 per cent and
apartment houses about the same, the
report Of Mr.. Wyckoff shows.
WHERE NO RENT BOOST
REPAIRS LET LAG.
Il have found many owners of houses
who have not increased the rent at ALL
said Mr.. Wyekoff.
IN most of these cases, the owner
collects the rent himself, and has made
no repairs.
II had a request from one man today
who felt very kindly toward his land
lord for not increasing the rent, but
wanted me to get the landlord TO make
some repairs
Rental agencies usually are given a
per cent Of the rent collected, and the
more the rent the greater is the agents

1t is estimated there are 10000 houses
In Indianapolis. Of which 23OO0 are owned
by the people who live in them. The
other 1900 are rented.
AVERAGE JUMPS

Before the war the average rent was
SIS and It is now $50 per month.
There are about 10000 apartments in
the city. Before the war the average rent
was $50 a month and is now s45 per
month
In some instances the increase IN rent
nj Is 100 per cent, but the number Of
cases IN which landlords have not IN
creased the rent at all reduces the aver
age
The average rent Of apartment houses
Ia Indianapolis was higher before the
war than in many cities, according TO
Mr.. Wyckon. because the apartment
bouses mostly we're OF the higher class
The era Of building OF small, less eI-
pensive apartments had only started
when wal broke out, Mr. Wyckof said.
SHoULD KEEP AN
EYE ON FUTURE.
property owners should think Of the
future Of the city in fixing their rents"
said Mr. WyckoR
Everyday we have inquiries from
large manufacturing concerns which are
seeking locations as to housing condi-
tious In indianapolis.
indianapolis IS on the eve Of great
era Of Industrial expansion, IL we only

Fair rents and increased building Is
the best advertising Indianapolis can
