BRIDGE WORK IS
NOW UNDER WAY
Thirty-three Structures Across
Streams in Thirteen Coun-
ties Being Built by State.

Actual work IS in progress or prepare
main projects on practically each of the
thirty three bridge and culvert contracts
in THIRTEEN counties of this State let by
the State highway commission June p
Lawrence Lyons, director, stated today.
Several Of these bridges are on the Ma
tional road and in numberof instances
contractors have made remarkable prog
ress, Mr.. Lyons pointed out.
In Hendricks County, Robert King of
Danville, who received the contract for
four structures, totaling 41.039.5S, is
pushing the work with all possible speed
having removed the old structure. com
pleted one abutment and has pier and
the other abutment we'll under way on
what is known as the Mud Creek bridge
project, FIVE miles west Of Stilesville. The
present bridge is too small, having only
a span Of thirty feet. which obstructs the
water flow during spring rains and causes
back water TO lnundate and wash out
portions of the road about a hundred
feet from the bridge The new structure
will have a fifty foot span.
Across Clark street, one mile east OF
Plainfed. the new bridge will be rel0
ture, the grades essed and sharp curves
reduced.
One Of the biggest projects on the
National road west Of indianapolis is the
new bridge to go across White Lick
Creek. two miles west Of Plainfeld, for
which excavation is under way. This
bridge has two separate concrete arches
eighty two feet each and is double the
span Of the present bridge, which forces
food waters on contiguous farm lands.
The new bridge also Is TO be relocated to
the south, ard the old one will be left
util it is completed and accepted. This
Is to permit uninterrupted traffic at this
point on the highway without detour.
The only change at present at this sec
ton of the road is the erection of slow
ing up signs at the approaches to the
bridge, Mr. Lyons says. When traffic is
directed over the new bridge 1t VIII be
over approaches eased by new grades and
made safe through elimination of sharp
turns which characterize approaches to
the present structure.

FIGHT AGAINST
TAKING NAMES
FROM PETITION
Opponents of Memorial Plaza
Appear Before Council Com
mittee Wednesday.

Opponents Of the war memorial plaza
via go before the city council elections
committee at the public hearing Wednes
day afternoon prepared to fight the re-
moval Of a single name from the re-
monstrance petitions.
A determined effort is expected to be
made by the plaza proponents to show
that many Of the names on the petition
asking for a referendum on the project
are forgeries Saturday the American
Legion plaza committee, issued a state
ment in which it was alleged that the
petition does not contain enough bona
fde signatures to make 1t mandatory for
the council to call an election.
UNFAIR TACTICS
ARE CHARGED.
Unfair tactics have been pursued since
the very beginning by the advocates of
this gigantic extravaganza" said c. W
Miller today. "If they had tried to be
fair they might have made some Roadway
In creating sentiment for their proposal
As II is we are prepared to show that
they have not made a single proper com
plant with regard to the petition for an
election.
W n. Harding will appear for the plaza
opponents at the hearing, it was an
nounced Efforts will be made to con
fine all arguments before the city council
to the question Of the petitions validity.

degenerate into a mudslinging contest II
the plaza boosters have their way" said
Mr.. Miller. THE propaganda they have
used thus far in the fight justifes that
feeling on our part. l think.
TOO LATE TO
WITHDRAW NAME.
The time for Withdrawing signatures
from the petition expired on June IS
If A few stupid or weak kneed persons
have been prevailed upon since that time
10 withdraw their names we shall see to
1t that the law is observed. 1t was ir-
regular in the extreme for city officials
to turn this petition over to its enemies
In the beginning. 1t seems quite apparent
that the city administration yearns for a
chance TO let 100000 or more in con
( tracts before their term expires They
should be satisfied with the garbage plant
deal, the fragrance of which will long
serve to keep alive the names Of Mr..
/ Iewett and others without the engraving
of their names on bronze plaza tablet

/ had been active I'm gathering evidence to
! refute charges that have been printed
/ I'm the newspapers. but that all such evi-
dence would be reserved for the council

More than $4,000 that we know of
