ADDS TO VALUE OF PROPERTY
Effective Argument as to the Necessity
for Carefully Thought Out
City Planning.

City coming and city planning tend
10 stabilize real estate values and make
1t easier for the real estate dealers to
offer permanent investments to pros
pectlve purchasers. This forms part
of the advice hat ]. c. Nichols OF
Kansas City has offered his fellow
realtors. He says:
I'm talking last summer with the
comptroller of a life insurance COM
pany which loans Il larger amount OF
money on real estate than any other
company In the world, | asked him
II he thought $100,000 1000 was too
large an amount to place on the destruc-
ton of property values In our cities
from year to year by the shifting OF
downtown business centers and by the
abandonment of hlgh-class residence
property.
Why he said. Nichols, 100000
600 would not begin to cover It, l
said: What do you thlnk-$500,000.-
DOOR
Well he said, 4 doubt very much
IL that would cover the annual loss
In money from the unnecessary shift
Ing of our property values
Nov, with what confidence can we
present to IN investor the proposition
of buying property If we have to admit
right on h face Of II that we are in a
business that deals with uncertainties,
that we are in a business that deals
with shifting values of property?

originated by the American Forestry
association In the avenue of memorial
trees leading to the tomb Of the late

try. according to reports received by

National patriotic organizations
have adopted the Idea of marking
points of unusual interest, and civic
Improvement groups are using II to
beautify local roads and highways.

GIVING OF messiah"
MARKS ACHIEVEMENT
IN ORGANIZING TALENT

The largest audience which has at
tended any of the Civic Music associa-
ton programs this winter witnessed
presentation of HandePs Messiah at
the Coliseum Tuesday evening by the
Festival chorus, Symphony orchestra,
and four visiting soloists.
The rendition of the oratorio, which
is acclaimed the greatest in the world,
marks one of the finest achievements
in the development and organizing OF
the community's musical talent. The
chorus of 200 voices assisted by the
orchestra of so pieces. presented an
ensemble which was obviously the re-
suit of weeks of training The pro-
duction was directed and conducted by
J. e. Maddy, conductor of the SYM
phony orchestra and leader of the
chorus.
The visiting soloists sang their parts
with simplicity and dignity BETTING
the impressive oratorio. James Haupt
displayed a lyric tenor voice full OF
tonal nuances which was peculiarly
fitted to the prophetic lines which the
tenor sings in the oratorio. He sings
his parts with earnest, artistic feeling
unmarried by any touch or pose
Rich Ccntralto
A meZzo contralto, rich and vibrant,
is the gift of Many WEIGH, the con-
tralto soloist for the evening. Her
recitatives were sung with dignity and
assurance. Edward La Shelle, of In
dianapolis, the bass soloist, possesses
a finely cultivated voice resonant in
tone, and wide in range which he COM
bines with unusually clear diction and
an artistic and intelligent interpreta-
ton. Mae Graves Atkins gave re

PAVING OF ROAD FROM DUBLIN TO GREENFIELD
WILL COME UNDER new STATE SPECIFICATIONS

to be laid on the National road TO COM
plete that transcontinental highway
across Indiana from Terre Haute to
Richmond, and which will be expe-
dited early in the new year.
Receiving proposals for closing
these gaps was contemplated for Dec.
IA. but contract letting postponed
when it became apparent a change in
specifications was necessary in order
TO bring about fair competition among
the interests handling road materials.
The change in state road specifica-
tons comes as a direct result of the
policy of Governor McCray and his de-
termination TO give Indiana the best
possible road construction at minimum
cost. In changing specifications the
outstanding policy of the governor and
the highway commission was that
quality OF roads should not be sacri-
feed.
New Provisions.
The new specifications provide that
concrete must be laid eight inches
thick in the center of the road, and
seven inches on the sides. Previous
specifications called for uniform thick.
ness of seven inches. The new spec
ifications will make concrete roads
slightly more costly and decrease &c
some extent the cost of brick roads.
The commission, in the new spec
ifications, will require brick roads tc
/ have five-inch base, with one-inch
sand-cement cushion and three-inch
vertical fiber brick with asphalt filler
By this change the road base is
strengthened. Old specifications call
ed for d four-inch base with grout
filler of the monolithic type.
Lawrence Lyons, department direc
tor, estimates that under the new
! specifications brick roads can be bull
approximately $4,000 a mile cheaper
| He does not believe the added cost fol
| building concrete roads under the new
| specifications will be much greater
| Highway officials point out that I'm
| der the new specifications roads bull
| from now on will be much more dur
| able than heretofore, and that b.
| opening the proposals to competition
| prices for actual construction will bt
lower.
Must Be Approved.
| All state roads must be approved b.
the federal government before fedora
aid is given. According to Mr.. Lyon
the new specifications will meet will
the approval of the United States bu
reau of roads. J. T. Voshel, of Chi
| cago, district engineer for the fedora
/ government, has conferred with tn
governor and commission member
relative to the change.
