Many of those summoned to court
offer the excuse that the dog died

purchase and the owners didn't

Others said they didn't know the

was purchased after the visit OF the
assessor. Still others said the

Company officials are said to feel
that in a solution of Indianapolis
transportation problem something
must be done to improve the com
pany's situation in the interests of
the car riders and city's progress.
In addition to increased competition
by automobiles the company now has
further definite competition created
by the bus line on the north side, it
IS pointed out. Other bus lines are
being projected, officials say, and this
may mean further inroads.
Preparatory to asking for more
revenue, officials of the company are
stressing the fact that they have been
unable to purchase any new cars for
three years. There has been no
reconstruction of cars and practically
no extension of service, company rep
resentatives admit.
With further decrease in income
under present conditions, the company
says it cannot go forward.
AS one instance of its plight, com
pany officials say 70 per cent of its
income goes for operating expenses
alone.
One of the plans said to be under
discussion is to ask council to let the
present jitney ordinance remain in
effect if higher car fare is granted.
This ordinance keeps Jitney lines off
thoroughfares where street cars oper-
ate.
Company officials believe when all
facts concerning its street car opera
ton here are revealed at hearings
citizens generally will agree the com
pany is entitled to more revenue.

EXPERT TO SPEAK
ON AIR CLEANERS
Saving Engine Wear Is Next
Big Problem in Auto
Improvement.

Local motorists will have an oppor-
tunity to brush up on the subject OF
increased engine efficiency and lon
gevity at the Cosmos Club during the
! evening of November II, when l.. l.
Dollinger. an authority on "air clean
/ ers." will address the Washington
section of the Society of Automotive
Engineers. according to an announce.
ment by c. Fl. Warrington, vice chair.
man of the local organiza ton.
Any one interested in the subject is
| invited to be present. 1t is expected
that Mr. Dollinger will have a large
and appreceative audience, since the
matter of saving engine wear through
straining the air that is drawn into
the cylinders is generally regarded
as the next big universal step in au-
tomobile improvement.
VIII Discuss Cleaners.
1t is announced that Mr.. Dollinger
will discuss the various types of
cleaners now in use on cars as stand
ard equipment as well as those avail
able for installation on any car, and
is is believed that the motoring public
will come away better informed as to
the important part which these rela-
lively small accessories are destined
to play in the race toward automo-
bile perfection.
Both centrifugal and stationary
types of "air-cleaners" will be eX
planned, according to the S. A. f. ad-
vance notice. In the centrifugal type
the suction created by the engine
drawing air through the carburetor
starts in motion what resembles a
small fan. which is designed to beat
the dirt out OF the air that is drawn
through In the stationary type there
are no moving parts, the particles OF
foreign matter being strained or
"tricked" out rather than beaten out.
