tectives were given both orally and in
writing TO Lieutenant Hudson, by Assis-
tant Secretary Franklin D. Roosevelt,

His statement is as follows;
"Mr. Chairman, | rise to a point Of

Tndianapolis News and others-were Of
faring their present argument relative to

are opposed to the World War memorial.

mortal. and not one Of the 1900 who
signed. whether he knew or did not know
its contents, could have signed against

Let us review the history Of the real
question and the remonstrance. At its
special session in 1920, as well as at It's
regular session In 1921 the Legislature
declined to pass a bill giving the city Of
indianapolis and Marion County the
right to exercise an option to purchase
two city blocks (ground bounded by
North, Vermont, Pennsylvania and Me-
ridian streets) and give the same to the
State as a part of the World War Me-
mortal, and such would have been its
ultimate destiny, had not the American
Legion and its friends, with an indie
fatigable energy, prayed for recon

that a referendum clause should be at

of that soldieriy courage, and American
pride to see to it that their sacred word

came to a vote and was passed with the

There was FIRE in the eye Of the health
secretary when he arose in response to
permission from President Russell VIII
son to reply. The health department has
been the butt for criticism which DR..
Morgan has said he does not believe right
fully belongs there. He explained that
the greater part Of the 100000 would go
for the upkeep of the city hospital aud
that the remainder would be used In oper
ating the sanitary division Of the health
department, which is concerned with in
spections of food handling establishments,
private premises for the taking 81 and
such other measures rs may prevent the
spread OF disease. That disposed Of, the
health authority oratorically rolled up
his sleeves and gave the council some
plain talk.
when Councilman Schmidt makes re-
marks concerning the sanitary conditions
Of indianapolis he IS opening mp a Ques-
tlon which has proved pulling to the
health department for a number OF years,
he said. There Is only one way to say
anything by way of answer and that Is
to quote recent figures upon the death
rate from typhoid. our national capital,
Washington IS first with a rate of eight
deaths Der 10000 Of population and In
dianapolis holds the unenviable position
OF second with seven deaths per 10000.
And this had been going on for years. 1t
is because Indianapolis has been careless
in her sewage disposal methods. She has
not kept clean house nor is she keeping
a clean house today.
