The plan against which the remon-
STRANGE is aimed includes the purchase
OF two blocks Of property lying between
University Park and the State School
Tor the Blind and Pennsylvania and Me-
rld1an streets. The State Legislature az
special session last summer, appro-
priated S2,0OO,OO for the erection Of a
war memorial building, where the blind
school now stands. At the regular session
this year the Legislature authorized the
city and county to join forces in the
establishment Of a plaza. Opposition to
that measure by retrenchment advocates
IN the Legislature resulted in its amend-
ment to permit the people to have a
voice through a referendum.
I'm circulating this petition we have
acted upon our conception Of a public
duty" Mr.. Miller said in his statement.
1t was the intention of the State Leg
lslature that such an election as the one
we seek to invoke should be held. The
authorization act would otherwise NOT
have passed, for the Legislature did
not intend to trust any set of city or
county officials with so large a project
at time when the entire country ts
staggering under an increasingly dam
gerous burden Of taxation.
C0WARDLY ATTACKS
MADE, SAYS MILLER.
Notwithstanding that we were only
carrying out the intent of the statute
we have been subjected to cowardly and
humiliating attacks by group of
strong headed persons rallying around
Mayor Charles W. Jewett. We have been
castigated in very unjust manner by
Indianapolis News, our motives have
en- impugned and our characters as
~diled; baseless insinuations nave been
fabricated concerning our integrity and
sincerity; we have been ordered cut Of
public building owned by city Off
cial; one Of our solicitors was ASSAULT
ed and his petitions torn up "a VIOLA
ton of the election laws since sigma
lures on this petition are votes and the
petition is expressly made subject to
the election laws(.
Attempts have been made to brfbe us
not to file this petition. If the prosecu-
tor of Marion County desires anv evf-
dence Of this fact it will be furnished
him Immediately. The evidence would be

The Sea Of Mystery Is being
searched by ships of the United States
Navy in the hope of finding some trace
Of the twenty vessels which mysteriously
disappeared. Government officials in dis
cussing the case hinted at piracy Of the
kind that harks back to the days OF
Captain Kidd. One theory is that boot
leggers are using the craft in liquor
running IN the South. The map shows
where the Carroll A. Deering is believed
to have gone down. while the question
mark takes in the territory Of the mid
Atlantic seaboard, where other ships are
thought to have disappeared.

Want O. Choice Dog?
Visit City'S Dog Pound
Without Any Delay

DO you want a dog?
Care for the opportunity to look over
a large collection of all kinds of dogs
and decide whether it will be a mastif
or a poodle or one of the kind of dogs
that reach an intermediary size?
The Indianapolis Humane Society is
in a position to supply nearly any kind
of canine that may be desired. There
is an unusually large number of dogs
at the dog pound and they are not
strays, but pets that have lost their
homes for one reason or another. The
society and the pound employees have
put these pets into the best kind of
physical conditions and they are offered
to those citizens of Indiana who win
give them a good home. The license fees
and the taxes constitute the price of the
dogs and applications are in order. The
dog pound is at 924 East New York
street. The phone number is Main OS72.
The earlier you get there the larger the
field from which to choose.

EXPERTS GIVEN
SOFT PICKIN' BY
SCHOOL BOARD
Engineering Firm Gets For
tune From Construction of
New Buildings.
COSTS ARE INCREASING
BY BLYTHE G. HENDRICKS.

- - - ~
In the entire history of the In
dianapolis board of school commits
sioners it's doubtful if any one thing
has ever been used to foster so much
general adverse criticism and
aroused so much distrust as the rela-
tons existing between the present
board and the firm of Snider & Rotz,
consulting engineers, and L. A.
Snider, a member of that firm.
Under date Of Feb. -, 1919 the board
entered into a contract with Snider
Rotz, by the terms Of which that firm was
to act as engineers for the board, pre-
pare all plans and specifications for all
engineering, such as heatir z, ventllatlng,
plumbing and electrical work and fer its
services was to be paid per cent on the
cost of all such work, general contracts
excluded.
About a year ] ter, March . 1920. the
board employed L. A. Snider, a member
of the firm, in a personal capacity, to
act as building advisor for the board.
He was given general supervision OF all
building operations and by the terms
of the contract IS paid l per cent Of the
cost Of all general contract work en-
cheering excluded, ordered by the board.
Just what these contracts mean in
dollars and cents TO the city of Indian
apolis can best be shown by considering 2
the contracts let by the school board
since the middle of December. 1913. when
the contract for the first unit Of Ar
senal Technical high school was let
In the eighteen months which have
elapsed since that time the board. In
following out the building program
favored by its majority members. has let
contracts for thirteen new buildings al
an approximate cost Of $4,000 and has
advertised for bids for four additional
buildings which viii cost in the neigh
borhood Of S4ST. 900.
COMMISSIONS
OVER $4,000.
The engineering contracts for these
thirteen buildings amount to more than
S1OOO,O00 on a per cent basis this
viii net Snider & ROtz more than S50,DOO
Now in addition to the above sum l.. A
Snader, as building advisor, is entitled ia
/ per cent on all general contracts let
after March 2, 1920 when his contract
as an individual was entered into. This
will amount to about $4,000 additional
a total of $4,000, that must be paid out
TO Snider & RotZ and L. a. Snider on
contracts entered into in the past eigh-
teen months. AS matter OF fact the
figure, $4,000 is conservative as it takes
into consideration only the contracts on
the thirteen buildings covered by the
building program and does not include
smaller expenditures at other schools.
If the board carries out Its building
program this sum will be greatly in
creased before the end OF the year.
These contracts have been SUBJECTED

from State officials, for a long time. The

N. C. 7. U. Urges
War on Tobacco

An appeal to the Kentucky Wo-
mans Temperance Union to fight
steadily for law enforcement in the
state was made by Mrs. Anna B.
Wheeler, Louisville, corresponding
secretary of the organization in her
annual report before the convention
of the state organization at Dam
vile Saturday. She declared that
the best place to begin teaching rev.
erence and obedience to "all law" is
in the home.
After reviewing the work of the
organization during the Fl years
she has been connected with it Mrs.
Wheeler cautioned the delegates that
the work of the organization is not
finished. "There is law enforce
ment," she said, "to be looked after.
The prohibition law is marvelously
well enforced when We consider how
new it is, the money, political infu-
ence, the unconverted brains and the
poor old sets with depraved appe-
tites, all joined in close, compact
