WILL RUSH OHIO
IMPROVEMENTS
Bids for Street Work to Be
Asked Immediately.

Upon insisteace by Gustav G. Schmidt,
president Of the city council, In confer
ence today, that Ohio street, between Ala
bama and Delaware streets, be widened
and resurfaced so as TO provide for the
laying Of street car tracks, the board OF
public works announced that it viii i'm
mediately advertise for bids for the i'm
provement.
The board has had before 1t for sew
eral months a resolution calling for the
widening and resurfacing of Ohio street
from Delaware TO East streets and it was
decided to let the contract for the whole
improvement with the understanding
that the section from Delaware to Ala
bama streets be completed before winter
and the remainder early in the spring
The city council favors the improve
ment, Mr.. Schmidt said, for the reason
that when the street is widened and
tracks installed interurban cars which
run through Delaware street to WASH
ington street, creating, dangerous
traffic problem on city market days, can
be routed out Ohio to East street and
thence to Washington street.
This, Mr.. Schmidt said is part Of the
councils general plan TO relieve street
car congestion of which his wider loop
ordinance is the principal phase.

Lumber Company. which is to be re-
built following q recent fire.
Property owners of the district, some
of whose homes were destroyed with the
yard, objected to the board of safety
issuing a rebuilding permit to the com
pany until adequate fire protection was
provided.
DR.. Sumner A. Furniss, member Of the
city council, reported that since the Big
Four Railroad has installed two
switches on a high grace in a common
which colored school children Of Nor
wood have had to cross to get to the
school building at Cottage and Golay
streets, 1t is dangerous for them to go
to school
The only other possible route to the
school from the district from Pleasant
street to five blocks south between
vandeman and Earhart streets is around
Prospect and Golay streets, which route
also is dangerous to small children be-
cause Of high grade crossings and a maze
of level grade tracks.
The board instructed the city civil en-
gineer to make an inspection of the prob
lem and report recommendations.
Bids for the construction of a local
sewer in South Meridian street, from
Frank street to point $50 feet south,

SIS PCT. OF ROAD
COSTS IN STATE
FOR OVERHEAD

were $s4,507.7s, or Y per cent of the ex-
peuditures of the period.
During this period the highway COM
mission contracted for the construction
of 133 miles of highway at a cost of
81, 73s, 7H.36, an average cost Of 35,6S3.S7
mile.
In return for the a4,5o7,7S the tax
payers got contracts for 1873 miles Of
roads and additional engineering work.
BY this time, at a total cost of $141.-
s64.9s, the State had succeeded In let
ting contracts for 1873 miles of roads. 30S
miles of roads had been surveyed, 1872
miles of plans had been. prepared, fifteen
bridge plans submitted to the Federal
authorities and six of them had been
approved.
STORY OF OVERHEAD"
CONTINUES ALL THROUGH.
Thus it will be seen that there was
an overhead" expense attached to the
operation OF the commission of approx
mately S1,06J a mile for each mile of
road built even before the commission
had organized it's maintenance depart
raent
In the period from Oct 1. 1919. 10 Aug
1 1920, the commission continued to build
up the most tremendous overhead ever
attributed to any department OF the State.
Its total expenditures during this IL
tecvsl were 81 ,593, $3.50.
OF this sum 1855, 1929 was paid for
construction work and the overhead, con-
sisting of salaries and expenses, amount
ed to Se40, 1611O.
At the conclusion of this period the
State of Indiana had spent through the
highway commission the sum Of $751;
026.oS as overhead on the letting of con-
tracts for 1873 miles of highways at a
contract price Of 81, 73S, T41.36.
The total amount of money expended
on construction work during the life of
the commission up to this time was
1914. T5t.s2.
The total overhead costs to the State
in obtaining this amount of road building
WIS STs2. 026.os.
In other words, for bringing each mile
Of the 1873 miles of road under contract
TO a point where 1t was approximately
one-fourth constructed the State of In
diana had paid out In overhead expenses
approximately S5.s79.
COSTS MOUNT TO
STAGGERING TOTAL.
The logical conclusion is. of course. that
since 1t costs S5,S7e TO bring a mile of
oad-building to a point where II is
worth to the State one-fourth of its con-
tract price. 1t Will require four times that
amount Of overhead to complete the task.
and the average cost OF overhead for one
mile Of completed highway IN Indiana
will be S23.b16.
AS the average cost per mile Of con
struction work done by the contractors
OF the highway commission is $780,
eS3.51 a mile, the relation Of the over
head to the actual road construction cost

unique in construction work
Carried to the extreme limits the
figures are staggering

MONTREAL, Canada, Sept. pa kind
act rendered thirteen years ago has
brought a S10.0O0,00o fortune to David
K. Byrne of Montreal. Byrne has been
named as principal heir TO the estate of
W. G. Byrne of this city, whose death

Byrne. then David s. Kidd. a tea sales
man from Toronto, was attracted by
the beauty and intelligence OF a 20-year-
old girl in a saloon IN a Chicago s!um.
That was In 1907
His reading OF the story OF Mary Mag
dalene so affected the girl that she prom
ised to return to Fher parents. who at
that time knew nothing Of her where
abouts.
A few weeks later Kidd received a let.
ter from the girls father w G. Byrne,
asking him TO become the latter's heir
and change his name TO ByrDe.

quest, with the result that he at once
became a man OF afluence and now lie
