City Won't Improve South
E Yet, Boards Decision;
Property Owners Object

The city will not improve South E
street from Sixteenth street to Twen-
ty-third street. The decision to aban-
don that part of the proposed i'm
provement was reached by the board
Of works Thursday morning.
The county will construct an 1s-foot
concrete highway through South E
street, continuing to the Henley road.
The county road will not be a direct
cost to the people living along the
line of the improvement. The plans
drawn up by the city engineer call
for an additional strip of concrete
pavement on each side of the 1S-foot
highway and for a curb on each side
Of the street.
Under the present plans the city
will continue its plan to improve
South E from Fifth to Sixth.
A large number of the property
owners on South E who will be af-
fected by the construction were pres
ent at a hearing before the board Of
works Thursday morning Many of
the owners objected to the improve
ment because of the high cost of Ia
Dor and materials. After hearing the
objections the board announced it's
decision to modify the resolution for
the improvement and to abandon the
work between Sixteenth and Twenty
third

In order to compel Anna Mildred

really want a divorce. Judge Will A.
Bond may decree a limited divorce,
without precedent in Indiana.
In limited divorce the parties must

they become as before the divorce was
asked. husband and wife If the abso-
lutte divorce is still wanted, it must be
sought again. Time to reflect at
leisure is the particular virtue, accord
ing to Judge Bond.
Henry L. Johnson, attorney for the
plaintiff, and Robbins, Keller and Rob-
tins. and Denver Harlan. attorneys for
the defendant were given a long list
of authorities on the limited divorce
in circuit court Thursday They were
instructed to investigate further.
The court took decision in the
Helms VS. Helms case under decision
about two weeks ago after the attor-
neys had ess.'sd. Mrs. Helms charged
cruel and fnhuman treatment. She
asks absolute divorce and custody of
two minor children. In case a limited
divorce is granted. custody and sup
port of children, property right, etc,
will have to be defined by the court.
Mrs. Helms is living in Abingdon.
The defendant lives in Centerville.

CITY FARES TO Be
5 CENTS STRAIGHT,
IS UNCERTAIN WHEN

Alexander Gordon, local superin-
tendent of T. H. l. & E. traction COM
pany said Thursday he had no idea
how soon the ruling of the public
service commission of Indiana that
the company might discontinue selling
street car tickets six for 25 cents, and
substitute cash fare, will go into ef-
feet.
This ruling of the commission We'd
nesday afternoon came as the result
of a petition on part of the traction
company several weeks ago to abol-
ish the reduced rate sale of tickets
here.
The company said that although
more than 100000 was invested in
Richmond, the income after paying
for upkeep and other expenses, left
less than $4,000 for depreciation re-
turn on the investment and other
necessary funds.
Interurban Hearing Postponed.
Hearing of the petition of the Terre
Haute, indianapolis and Eastern trac-
ton company for an increase in fare
from "a cents to 8 cents a mile was
postponed before the public service
commission because William A. Hugh
es, Greenfield city attorney, raised
the point that he had not been given
10 days notice of the hearing as re-
qured by law. The T. II. I. & E. case

bureau, who is conducting the inter-
urban hearings.
