Street Railway Company intended to
purchase ten busses for service

board Of works for immediate con-
sideration of the city's traffic
problem today.
The board has jurisdiction of re-
lations between the city and the car
company. and will consider some
steps to regulate the bus problem
which is becoming serious in the

operation in any way.

Commission Objects to Ex-
penditure of S129,069 on
Structure With Only
Few Years of Life,'
NEW BUILDING ADVISED
John White Explains Posi-
biIity of Paying Bonds
Through Profits.

Members of the city market com
mission. appointed two years ago
by Mayor Shank, protested today
against proposal of the board OF
works to repair and improve the
present market house. They insist
ed the old structure, including Tom
nnson Hall. should be replaced by
a new market building and by hall
seating 10000 persons.
An ordinance approving contracts
for improvements at the present
building is expected to be intro
duced in city council Monday night.
If the ordinance Is passed. a bond
issue covering the cost of improve
ments viii be asked.
The improvements, costing $780,
069, would include a new floor, a
new sanitary system. comfort sta
tions, incinerators. a new sewage
system, heating. new stands and
sand-blasting Of the outside.
Recommendations Made
The market commission. which is
opposing this program on the ground
that so much money should not be
spent on old buildings which have
only a few years of life, consists of
John F. White, Mrs. William 7.
Bailey, Clarence I. Baker. Mrs. c..
A James. Frank Turner and Charles
W. Kern.
The market commission some time
ago went into the whole situation
and made recommendations. These
recommendations contemplated a
new structure TO cost approximately
81. 900, 900.
A modern market house and a
hall seating 10000 people could be
erected on the site Of the present
markethouse and Tomlinson Hall
without one cent Of cost to the tax
payers White said. In this way
the city would have a new market
and in addition would have the hall
which 1t needs so much.
The improvements contemplated
by the board of works would be a
serious waste Of good money, be-
cause the present plant never can be
made adequate.
The idea of the market commits
sion is to arrange the affairs of
the market so that the building
would pay for itself Market pro
ceeds now go into the city general
fund and the upkeep Of the market
is provided by an appropriation from
this fund
The commission would have the
proceeds of the proposed new mar
ket go into a separate fund. The
new structure would be erected from
the proceeds of a bond issue. 1t Ia
anticipated that the market and hall
could be maintained out of this fund
and that enough surplus would be
left to pay interest on the bonds and
retire them as they would come due

locating her knee cap.
The Indianapolis times., 1924-08-29
Surplus Estimated

The commission has estimated that
the annual income from the market
and the hall would be S154,0o0. and
that the interest and maintenance
would amount 10 s115,000 annually
during the first years. It points out
that, as the bonds were retired, in
terest payments would be reduced
and this surplus increased. The
commission estimates that in forty
years the proposed life of the bonds
to be retired last, this surplus would
amount to $2,28O,33O.

Messages,

By United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Oflcially
and unof1cially welcomed IN mes
sages from air. land and sea, the
Prince of Wales reached America
today.
The sun-fecked waters Of New
York Harbor reflected a perfect Au-
gust sky as the giant Cunard liner
Berengaria brought the young heir
to the British crown to quarantine.
The first official word OF welcome
was a wireless message from Fresl-
dent Coolidge, transmitted from an
airpIane, which scared high above
the liner as she nosed her way in.
The Berengaria reached Quaran-
tine at 2:25 D. m Sir Esme Howard,
British ambassador, and a small
group of the Princes friends were
all who greeted him personally,
having gone down the bay at noon
TO meet the liner.
No Ceremonies
A public welcome such as would
have been his had he come to the
city, was impossible because the
Prince, after acknowledging the offi-
cial greetings, had arranged to as
Ssume an unofficial holiday role and
go without ceremony to Long Island
in a private launch. Only In the
eager and tncessant comment that
ran from mouth to mouth-in the
numerous pilgr1mages to Long
Island for a glimpse Of Wales
passage along the motor choked
highways from Oyster Bay-was the
public able to express its excitement
and pleasure that the most interest
ing personality of the old world,
from the standpoint Of the new, had
arrived.
For his Royal Highness will be
taken from the Berengaria at quar-
antine by the f1fty-five foot gasoline
launch Black Watch. owned by Rob
ert Graves and will land ct Oyster
Bay.

There will be no ceremony, no high
hats, nothing that savors of an off
cia1 welcome. The little Long Island

Praises Faith

Eulogizing the virtues he named
one after another, the President paid
the greatest veneretion to faith
I'VE live in a universe ruled by
law and by the guiding power Of
Providence" he said. whatever
may appear to be the temporary
power of evil. 1t is always overcome
by the greater permanent power OF
good. Not to hold this faith appears
TO me to attempt to fight against
the stars In their courses. Such re-
sistance must end in destruction"
The President deplored the fact
that these cardinal virtues had never
been fully tested.
Before we hastily conclude that
we can disregard them as adequate
remedies for much that society de
sires to correct, we might we'll re-
member that they have never been
fully tried" he said.

NEW YORK. April 22.-Congres-
sional hearings on five separate
bills introduced into the Federal
legislature designed to change va
rious sections Of the transportation
act, occupy a considerable portion
OF the time today Of Congressman
interested in railroad legislation.
Railroad presidents who have made
study Of the matter, almost unan-

In the measure, at least until such
time as its usefulness has been

What concerns railway managers

guaranty clause would be to serve
notice on the investing public that,
the Congress Of the United States
was unwilling to continue reason,
able and protective provision of the
act, which is helpful in obtaining
new capital for railroads"
Daniel Willard, president Of the
Baltimore and Ohio, told the COM
mittee investors were naturally
looking for the most attractive
form Of investment, and would not
favor railroad securities IL they
could obtain more for their money
elsewhere.
IT firmly believe that IL section
Is A Of the act should be re-
pealed," said Mr.. Willard. "the in
creased rate Of interest which rail.
roads would be required to pay for
new capital assuming they could
obtain IT. would be far in excess
Of any saving to the public that
could possibly result from such a
COURSE 81
Investment money win not flow
into improbable channels, ana the
transportation systems are of such
importance to national enterprise OF
all kinds that they should not be
permitted to deteriorate through
lack of investment interest.
