Before the bids were opened, G. J.
Kinsell, who is having an apartment
house built on Rio Grande avenue and
the boardwalk, arose and asked per-
mission of the Commissioners to make
a statement. He contended that Rio
Grande avenue, being the main thor
oughfare leading from the mainland
to Wildwood, should have been in
cluded in these street-end finishes, and
he made a strong appeal to have the
Commissioners include Rio Grande end
if they could do so by any hook or
crook. The use of this expression
made the Mayor smile and he said that

For more than two and one-half hours
the weekly session had dragged along
its tedious course and the tired par
Elephants in that days proceedings ex-
pressed the relief they felt when the
business was all over. The principal
source of delay was assignable to the
introduction and consideration of the
new Ordinance, number 142, "regulat-
ing and fixing the fees of mercantile
licenses and classifying therefor the
the various lines of business and
amusements to be licensed" This
mercantile measure contained thirteen
sections. Schedule by schedule, item
by item, all of the provisions had to
be carefully gone over, weighed and
judged. Then, too, the opening and
reading of bids advertised for-to
grade and gravel certain boardwalk
street ends and to construct curbing
where needed-consumed a consider
able portion of the time.
AS the Commissioners chamber is
lighted chiefly by artificial illumina-
ton, both the upper and the lower
lights are usually kept burning. The
city electrician (Warren Kalbach) says
the upper or ceiling lights are rated
at the strength of 100 candle power
each. OF the lower lights, he says the
suspended one is the strongest of the
three, developing, at it's best, an in
tensity of 200 candle power. In re-
arranging the electrical system at City
Hall it was the electricians obvious
intention to let the lights so shine that

GRAND JURY INDICTS
S|PE, MARION COUNTY
CLERK, THREE OTHERS
CRv Associated Press.)

INDIANAPOLIS, April 15.-Richard
V. Sipe, former Marion county clerk,
was indicted by the grand jury here
today for the embezzlement of county
funds.
A short time ago Sipe is said to
have confessed to county authorities
that he was short between Sl0O,0OO
and $4,000 in his accounts.
Will H. Latta, counsel for the local
street car company, and former OF
ficer in the Aetna Trust company, Ed
win A. Hunt, president OF the Pivot
City Realty company, were also in
dicted with Sipe on a charge of con
spiracy to embezzle county funds.
Mrs Mary G.. Bell, formerly cashier
in the clerks office was also indicted
on the same charge.
1t is alleged in the indictment thai
Sipe loaned Latta and Hunt money
and that it was never returned ant
that Sipe purchased about $4,000
worth of stock in the Pivot City com
pany, which later proved to be worth
less.
Sipe is now being held in the county
Jail pending trial.
