are opposed to annexation, but the

TRUCK OPERATORS
MOVE To RELIEVE
FREIGHT TIE-UP

Looking toward the relief Of conges-
ton at railroad and traction terminals
throughout the State, meeting of all
truck operators within a radius of one
hundred miles Of Indianapolis has
been called by Thomas Snyder, secre-
tary of the Indiana Truck and Ware
house Mems Association, which is TAX
ing an active interest in the motor
truck transportation movement.
The first meeting has been called for
Friday afternoon, but operators COM
ing into the city during the remainder
of the week will receive instructions
as to return trips of trucks from out
lying districts.
If present congestion continues, Mr..
Snyder said, formation Of something
approaching the Wartime Return
Loads Bureau will probably take
place. Embargos now effective at ter
minals prohibit the handling of prac-
tically all classes of essential
freight. Truck operators are hoping to
be able to move this by truck and in
order to keep transportation moving
in uninterrupted fashion and are ask
ing closest cooperation among opera
tors throughout the State.
Two hundred and fifty tons of this
class of freight are being handled out
of Indianapolis daily, statistics show.

IN THE AIR OVER
BROAD RIPPLE
City Council Fails to Make
School Property Part of
Annexation.
Annexation.

With the annexation of Broad Rip
pie, the Indianapolis board of school
commissioners has found itself facing
new and wholly unexpected problems.
The annexation ordinance failed 10
take into Indianapolis the property on
which stands the Broad Ripple High
School and grade school buildings.
The boundary line passes down the
middle Of the street Immediately ad-
joining tho schools.
This may result in further conges-
ton Of the city schools, already crowd
ed beyond their capacity, for, unless
the problem can be solved, 1t will be
necessary, school officials say, to
transfer all Broad Ripple school chill
dren TO the Indianapolis schools.
It has been suggested that arrange
ments with Washington Township
authorities be made for use of the
nexing the school property be passed.
Another question puzzling school
officials is Just how soon the school
affairs of Broad Ripple viii have to
be taken over by the indianapolis
school board.
Walter J. Twiname, business direc-
tor. said that while he was unable
to give a definite opinion until the law
had been looked into fully, he was in
clined to believe that the local board
will not assume control until the end
Of the fiscal year, June 80. 1928. He
pointed out that contracts for this
year with teachers and employees at
the Broad Ripple schools had been en-
tered into by the Broad Ripple Off
cials, and that it would occasion con-
siderable confusion to change every
thing at the present time. Also the
budget under which the Indianapolis
schools are operating has no provi-
sion for operating any schools other
than those now under the jurisdiction
of the board.
