CITIZENS FIGHT
TAX LEAGUE FOR
4 NEW SCHOOLS
Building Program of Board
of Education IndOrsed at
South Side Mass Meeting.
DELEGATES APPOINTED

Plans were formed last night at a
public meeting at the Mckinley
School, State and Lexington avenues,
for the sending of a delegation to ap-
pear before the State board of tax
commissioners Thursday morning to
combat the fight of the indianapolis
Taxpayers League against the pro-
posed issue of SS47,0 900 worth of
bonds for the construction of four
new school buildings.
The league, which has filed re-
monstrance against the proposed is
sue, came in for a scoring from sew
eraI speakers, one of them declaring
that the demonstrators lacked civic
pride
The assembly, which was held under
the auspices of the original South Side
women's Club, adopted a resolution in
dorsing the building program of the IN
dianapolis board of education and rec
ommending that delegation be sent to
the bond issue hearing This action was
taken following a talk by Bert S. Gadd.
mem ber of the school board. who went
INTO details concerning the building pro-
gram and the urgent need of better
school facilities.
Delegations from various organizations
Of the city were present at the meet
ing, Including the League of Women
Voters, the Parent Teacher Associations,
and from various school communities
Mr.. Gadd outlined the building plans
briefly, and explained why the board
considered the plans necessary. He told
of the uusaaitary and almost uninhabit-
able condition of many of the buildings
saying that In one building No. 36, the
third floor had been condemned and chill
dren ordered out by city inspectors and
proclaimed a veritable fire trap and yet
children are still attending classes on
that same third floor.
The whole school board fight centers
back to the interest Of the people," said
Mr.. Gadd. THE board must have the
backing of the folk themselves if the
children are to get what they should
have Indianapolis is always at the bot
tom of the list when it comes to school
questions, and it is at the bottom of the
list also in her tax levy for support Of
schools.
BUILDINGS NOT
FIT FOR HOGS.
Some of the conditions in the school
buildings are such that they would not
be fit for hogs and yet our children are
living a great part of their lives in the
midst of it. Also 20 per cent of the
buildings are firetraps. There Is no con-
sistent effort to get rid of the half day
period only by the use of portables.
There are ia rooms of forty or fifty
children going only half days.

are doing right; l think we are doing

willing to receive them ~
Miss Alma Sickler, president of the
league, tried in vain to stem the torrent,
but her gayel proved of no force against
the onslaught.

of the nuisance committee of the Enter

West Siders Threaten
to DisGnner From City;
Quit Meeting in Anger

Twas the cause Of West Indianapolis
we get for our city taxes but two police
men and all the refuse and filth of the
city being dumped upon u.s." said the
Rev. Father Joseph Weber, who appeared
today at the board meeting of the
League of Women Voters with a delega-
ton of West Indianapolis citizens who
are opposed to having the much dis
cussed municipal mule barns in their
neighborhood.
The delegation was invited by the
leagu to tell its grievances, following
the publication of the report of Mrs
Jessie NJ. Estabrook, chairman Of the
league sanitary committee which stated
that the committee agreed with the at
titude of the Indianapolis Abbatoir firm
that there was no ground for objection
to the proposed site for the mule barns
at Kentucky avenue and White River.
No action had been taken by the league
concerning the report, but the mere fact
that anybody in the league could agree
with the plans to move the barns suf-
feed to bring the protest of the West
Indianapolis Enterprise League out.
THREAT MADE

ing of words told what had happened:
