NOTES
Daily Good Turn

in the last few years that we have be-
gun to. appreciate the value OF trees
from any otner standpoint than that
hand way We have appreciated the
shade during the hot months, and we
all like pecans, and sometimes trees
have come in handy when we had to
climb something. Now we know that
we need more trees; we need 'em in
the country and we need 'em along
our highways-there's hardly a city lot
in town that wouldn't look better and
be worth more if it had a few more
trees.

EXTENSION OF
PLEASANT RUN
PARKWAY PLAN
South Side Citizens See Way
to Abate Pollution of
Streams.

Extension OF Pleasant Run Parkway
from Shelby TO Prospect streets will be
urged by a delegation of citizens residing
along the stream at the weekly meeting
Of the board Of park commissioners to-
morrow This and other questions were
discussed at the meeting Of the Belt LIE
vation League Of the South Side last
night.
Construction Of the new section Of the
parkway would aid in the movement to
clean up Pleasant Run and Bean Creek,
which the league has been backing for
several years.
Several hundred orders to connect
toilets with sewers or septic tanks have
been issued to property owners along
Pleasant Run and Bean Creek by the
city health department. II was the
sense OF the meeting that these orders
are justified and that practically all
property owners are willing to comply,
but lack of city water and sewers in
many cases makes compliance impossi-
bic. The matter Of obtaining extensions
Of water mains and local sewers all over
the affected area will be taken up with
the board Of public works later, it was
decided.
Petitions OF the Interstate Public Serv-
fee Company and the Indianapolis and
Cincinnati Traction Company to charge
a ten-cent fare for each passengers car
ried within the city limits were opposed.
Many residents of the south side use the
interurban cars instead OF city cars to
get to aud from the business district,
particularly those persons who reside be-
yond the ends Of city lines. The citizens
also expressed disapproval of the appll-
cation for higher rates Of the Indiana
Bell Telephone Company. Delegations
may be sent before the public service
commission to enter objections in both
matters.

ATLANTA, August IA move
ment to create branch of the Court
of ppeals to sit in either Albany or
Macon, which has met with much fav-
orable comment, has been postponed
for this session of the general assem-
bly, on account Of the economy policy
of Governor Thomas w. Hardwick,
according to an official announce
ment this afternoon.
Since the assembly convened a
quietly conducted campaign has been
under way to add six new justices
of the court, create judicial division
of the state and locate the branch
in south Georgia city. The purpose
of having two branches is to relieve
the pressure on the present court and
make the new location a matter of
convenience for attorneys of the
southern part of Georgia.
Under the plans advocated by pro-
ponents of the measure, each court
would have concurrent jurisdiction,
and the heavy docket OF cases already
heard and those set for hearing would
be given immediate attention. AL
ready the new branch has been in
dorsed by a number of prominent
lawyers and jurists, and an effort
will be made to secure the recon-
mendation of the state bar assOcia-
ton.
Senator Dennis Fleming and Rep
resentative Walter H. Beckham, both
of Dougherty, are taking a prominent
part in the campaign, and are en-
deavoring to secure the new branch
of the court for Albany, should the
measure pass the assembly next sum-
