S NEW BRIDGES
FOR EAST END OF
NATIONAL ROAD
Highway Director Announces
Location of Structures to
Cost $26,595.

Five new bridges the contract price OF
which is S26,595.62, will be completed this
year on the National road between In
dianapolis and Richmond, according to
Lawrence Lyons, director of the state
highway department. Il
One mile west of Dublin in Henry
county, noteworthy progress is being
made on a so foot span concrete bridge.
This bridge is going up on the site OF
the old one and in order that traffic Will
not be interrupted and there be no detour,
a temporary bridge was thrown across the
stream and is now in use. The stone from
the old bridge, enc of the oldest in point
of service in the State, is being used to
rip rap the road for some distance to
prevent it being washed by food waters.
Three miles east Of Greenfield in Han
cock county, the department is taking the
stone abutment of an old bridge being
replaced with a new one, and using 1t to
straighten ditch contiguous to the stream
crossing. AS 1t was impractical to
throw a temporary bridge across the
stream here, q detour, which Is In excel
lent condition, was established a mile
south, Mr.. Lyons said.
At a cost Of 500 the highway de-
partment has reclaimed an Old eighty
foot bridge with wooden floor on Road
81. five miles north Of Winchester, where
it spans the Mississinewa River, making
it serviceable for present-day traffic for
al least twenty years. Some Of the floor
beams of this structure were never prop
erly fastened. according to William j.
Titus, chief bridge engineer, and turned
sldewise under a heavy load with the re-
suit the bridge only had about one
quarter its intended strength.
New bridges going up under the high
way department are designed for the

of such signs as maximum load on this
structure is twelve tons; uncouple the

The demonstration began with a parade
of the children, who had received from

They paraded through the streets to
American tunes and waving flags. In the

are weekly distributing $1,000 meals to
the starving women and children OF the

DEPOSITS SHOW
LITTLE DECLINE
Trust Companies and State
Banks Report for 6 Months.

Analysis of the changes in total de-
posits in the trust companies and State
banks of Indianapolis during the first
six months of this year, as compiled and
made public today by the Fletcher Saw
ings and Trust Company, shows that,
despite the general business depression,
that has caused unemployment and
slowing down in many lines of industry,
the depositors in indianapolis have not
seriously depleted their bank account
SURPRISES as whole,
During the six months, the figures
show, there was a decrease in total de-
posts in the State banks and trust COM
panies of less than 1 per cent Of the to-
tai deposits Dec. 30, 1920. The exact
decrease in total deposits was 20 of !
per cent.
The total deposits In seventeen State
banks and trust companies were $780,
1926 as of Dec 80, 1920, and $51,463,-
1882 on June 80, 1921. the shrinkage
being SAIL, 96974.
The same analysis showed that such
depressing factors as the unemployment
which has existed in many lines Of in
dustry in the city, and which usually
results in depletion Of savings accounts
by individuals, have not affected the
time deposits of the Indianapolis fnan'
cinl institutions to so great a degree
as had been feared by many bankers
who had watched conditions of business
uncertainty develop in other parts Of the
country.
The total decrease in time deposits OF
the trust companies and State banks In
the six months period from Dec. 80, 1920
to June 30, 1921. was $702 231.19. The
total time deposits in these institutions
on Dec 80, last year. was $2S, $50 ,384.52,
while the total was LIS, 1888 june
80, this year. Thus, the analysis showed,
the decrease in time deposits in the two
big classes OF financial institutions In
the city during the six months OF the
winter, spring and early sumer, was
2943 per cent.
