COUNCIL HOLDS
PLAZA HEARING
WITHIN A WEEK
Attempt Will Be Made to
Show Many Signatures
Are Fraudulent.

The real campaign over the proposal
to create a war memo rial plaza in In
dianapolis in connection with the State
war memorial is expected to open next
Wednesday afternoon when the council
committee holds a public hearing on the
petition asking for a referendum on the
project.
Both sides of the controversy. which
already is waxing warm, are preparing
to enter the hearing to present arguments
in behalf of their cause. An attempt is
expected to be made by the city admin
istration forces to show that a number
of signatures on the petition are fraudu-
lent, and it is expected that a demand
will be made that they be stricken from
the papers.
The pro-plaza forces will not oppose
the elimination of proven spurious sigma
lures, it is said, because they are con-
fdent that there are more than enough
signers to make 1t mandatory upon the
council to call the special election.
I'VE anticipate assaults. on our petit
ton from a variety Of angles" said Mr..
Miller. Plenty of evidence that the
strong headed little group of plaza pro-
ponents will go to any lengths of trick
cry and deception has been observed For
instance, the Indianapolis News is I'M
able to distinguish the plaza proposal
from the State war memorial plan.
"a great hue and cry has been raised
over the alleged discovery Of few names
on the petition whose owners deny sign
ing Any sensible person can readily
see that such a document could not be
prepared without some imperfections. In
many cases petitions were left in public
places to be signed. Jokers and malicious
persons no doubt prpetrated some mis-
chief. The point is that the petition not
only contains the required number OF
names. but nearly 5000 names surplus
about 40 per cent more than are needed"

OLD COUNTY RECORDS REBOUND.

J. G. Highbarger, of Centervilie,
Iowa, completed his work in the court
house last Saturday, after rebinding,
445 of the permanent records in the
various offices of the county building
Mr.. Highbarger is an expert book bind
er. and one is at once impressed
with the neatness of the work. In
addition to placing new covers on so
many of the records, each book has
stamped on it in bold type what re-
cords are contained therein, making
it very convenient for those who are
called on to examine the records for
data. Many of the books rebound
were in bad condition because of the
hard use they were put to in earlier
years, but now will last indefinitely.
Besides being very skilled workman
Mr.. Highbarger is one OF the most
congenial men one could hope to meet,
and any county officials who have
valuable records in their vaults can
have these made as good as new by
turning Mr.. Highbarger loose on the
