Have No Faith in Utility
Promises.

A resolution opposing increased
street car fare and asking that a. re-
ceiver be appointed for the Indian
apolis Street Railway Company, was
sent to the city legal department to-

Of the said car company and that It
would rot be long until the said com

in fares, and We believe that the pub
lie should have some reliable assur-
ance that the additional revenue will
be applied as agreed;
'Be It therefore Resolved That the
city legal department be called upon
and urged to make application for
the appointment Of a receiver for the
said Indianapolis Street Railway Com
pany, said receiver to serve during
this alleged financial crisis and as
much longer as the interests Of the
public may require"

The organization also went on rec
ord as opposing the proposed pur-
chase of Broad Ripple Park by the
city on the ground it would involve
expenditure Of vast amount Of
money"
THAT. whereas. this organization
does not believe the expenditure of
money upon pleasure prospects when
the children of the city are being de-
prived OF proper educational facili-
ties, be IL therefore resolved that we
oppose this needless expenditure and
that we urge that whatever money
the city nay have to purchase empty
projects be turned over to the school
city for new buildings" the resolution
said.
