SUBWAYS Are

Board of Works Member
Backs Solution for
Traffic Problem.

Subways through which .pedes-
TRANS may pass under downtown
street intersections will be the ulti-
mate solution of the question of pro-
tecting pedestrians confronting the
city, William II. Freeman, member
Of the board Of works, predicted
today.
Freeman several months ago pro-
posed trial installation of a subway
at intersections of Washington and
Pennsylvania SITS. and Virginia Ave.
but plans have never been drawn by
Frank C. Lingenfelter, city engi-
neer, because funds for construction
have not been available.

write Mr.. Fixit at The Indianapolis
Times lie will try to get results for
you.
Property owners on College Ave.
near Fifty-Fourth st. have been in
the dark" for the last two weeks,
Mr.. Fixit learned today. But the
street lights in this district should
be on soon, he was informed.
DEAR MIR. FIXIT: The street
lights, beginning at the corner of
College Ave. and Fifty-Fourth ST.
and extending north on College Ave,
have not been lighted at night for
two weeks or more. When people
are waiting for a street car they
sometimes are passed by, as the
motorman cannot see them standing
at the corner. / also think it dan
gerous to have no lights. The tax
payers are paying for this service,
and I think they should have it.
This same condition occurred sew
eral months ago, at which time l
complained to the light company di-
rect. We then received service un-
til about three weeks ago. l should
think the company would put men
to work where repairs are needed
before using them to make changes
where the lights are not out of serv-
ice.
Trusting you will be fortunate in
securing for the neighborhood the
necessary relief, am,
Yours very truly,
II. e. ROESNER.
James HI. Hensley, electrician in
charge Of street fights, said tho
lights will be on again as soon
as installation Of a new cable is
completed.
DEAR MR.. FIXIT: VIII you
please see why we can't get a street
light on the corner Of Twelfth ST.
and N. Holmes Ave, where a fire
alarm box is located and it is so
dark it is not safe to go out after
night?
The second petition for this light
was put in Aug. 20, 1924. Nothing
has been done to relieve the situa-
ton, but taxes have to be paid just
the Same as other citizens where
they have lights.
In fact we have no light at Tenth
st. and N. Holmes Ave. where street
cars stop for patrons. In fact only
every other block from Tenth St.
to Speedway Rd have lights. These
blocks are very long. Thanking you.
N. HOLMES AVE. TAXPAYER.
There is apparently no prospect
of additional street lights until the
next administration. All funds
available have been exhausted,
Hensley told Mr.. Fixit.
TO A N. GARFIELD AVE. RESI-
DENT: Russell T. McFall, president
of the board of sanitary engineers,
said he would take steps to insure
that delays of two weeks in gather
ing your garbage will cease.
After notice has been provided to
the owners Of shacks, the law speci.
fies that from sixty to ninety days
must elapse. The fire prevention de-
partment promised to give your re-
quest careful consideration at the
earliest possible moment.

Dirt Has No Place

Accommodations of dirt, whether In the
streets or in the premises, are IN

Also they are unenterprising A place

same way, declares an editorial in the
Kansas City Star. There are new,
clean, well-kept community centers In
the outlying sections that are models
Of care and examples Of cooperative

ferred with one another for the cen

HoU Zoning Will Help

There will be considerable benefit
from the increased attention of Ameri-
can centers to zoning If there is per-
sistent determination to enforce the
provisions which zoning involves. The
Department Of Commerce reports that
800 cities and towns now have adopted
zening regulations and that zoning
laws have been enacted or are being
considered by nearly every state. Pro-
lection, however, does not follow auto
matically the adoption Of zoning on,
dinance. Where coming rights are zeal
ously guarded, there is promise Of
better order in the cities that are
turning to this new form of building
egulation.-Kansas City Times.

an authorized fee from the American
people visiting their seat Of govern
ment?
Ever since I FIRST visited this build
ing, twenty years ago, I have felt
that this magnificent building we are
all SO proud of. this Capitol building
of the greatest nation on earth ought
forever to be free to the America n
public to look at I feel that there
never should be a fixed charge to go
through this building I feel that a
petty cash fee charge of rs cents to
see this building Is beneath the dignity
OF our great free government and Of
the congress of the United States.
There Is no reputable government in
the world which authorizes or per-
mits a a5-cent fiat charge per head
for seeing its capitol
That's the way Mr.. Taylor puts 1t.
He Is a veteran who has been In the
house since 1909. He made speech
against this guide system ten years
ago, but seems to have been alone In
his protest. In the last congress he
introduced bill to establish a free
guide service for the Capitol building"
providing for one chief guide at $3.50
a month and ten guides at SIPS a
month, and for an official capitol
book"
The facts concerning the guides, as
brought forth in Mr.. Taylor's speech,
In the debate In the house and In COM
mittee hearings, include these:
Growth of System.
Up to the time of the Centennial
at Philadelphia there was no guide
system of any kind. The crowds of
visitors to the capitol that year were
so large that congress caused the ap-
pointment Of five guides and allowed
them to take tips for service. The
act of 1882 ITO regulate the use of
the capitol grounds" is still In force.
1t does not mention the word guide"
In any way.

spective departments and make their

Model of Playground

A miniature model of a five-acre
playground for city children was con-
structed for the United States child
ren's bureau and was displayed at the
meeting of the International Council
Of Women held in Washington in May.
The model contains swimming pool,
a shelter house, two tennis courts, a
basketball court, large baseball dia-
mond, a smaller diamond. a wading
pool for little children, seats for the
story hours, swings, ladders, flying
rings, sand boxes and all other needed
equipment. Tiny figures of children
engaged In the various sports were
part of the model.

The law authorizes a nonain1I zee Of

ting what they think Is a scheme OF
petty larceny and peculatfon and they

Another complaint made by a great
many is that too large a number OF
people go through at one time with
one guide, and scarcely anyone can
hear anything the guide says But
when the buses dump 500 or 1000 peo-
pie into this Capitol building within

Look to Future GrolDth

Cities which were ill-planned at the
beginning. and which have now grown
large, can not go back to the beginning
and adopt good plans. The best that
they can do is to make improvements
in their existing plans, along the Lines
which their founders should have laid
down. This they can all do, to some
extent; and they should realize that
the more promptly they do it, the bet
ter it will be for them. The larger
they grow on bad plans, the more the
need of replanning will be felt, and
the more laborIous and expensive the
process will be-Washington Post.

Most of these guides were appointed
many years ago. Benjamin ]. Cady,
chief guide, has been there As years,
Albert Daugherty 25 years, and Ed
ward Ernst, 20 years. Cady does no
guiding. He Is director and cashier.
The other 13 guides turn In to him
every night the authorized fees; he
divides them and gets so cents extra
The guides do not turn in their tips.
In 1928 the authorized fees collected
by ID guides totaled S30,92T65, and
S36, 1920 in 1924 by IA guides. This
indicates a 20 per cent increase In
business. The probable total Of fees
and tips is over $4,000.
Few Visitors Escape.
In addition there are at least six
capitol books" on sale at prices rang
Ing from S1.5O to 25 cents. The guides
urge the purchase of these and get
commissions averaging about Is cents.
Mr.. Taylor says these books are writ
ten to sell, and thinks they have little
or no historical value. Moreover, the
book-selling practice appears to have
come into existence without legal au-
thorlty. In addition there is a profit
able sale of postcards.
It should here be noted that Mr..
Taylor emphasizes the fact that he is
attacking the guide system, not the
personnel Of the guides. He thinks
they are all good men. He says they
are doing only what they are allowed
to do by the official rules and customs
long in force. And Of course a visitor
can get into the building and go about |
without employing a guide; there must |
be more than a million visitors a year |
Nevertheless, as Mr.. Tay- |
Ior says, the guides after all these |
years, have got the guiding business
to a fine art:
The people must enter at one OF |
hree doors, the door on the house
tide, the door on the senate side, or
