Cop Tells Citizens to Wait
for Their Car in
Street.

Street.
Let Mr.; Fixit give you lift on the
is The Indianapolis Times representa-
tive at the city hall. Write him at The
Times.
The Kingdom of Yewkant has ex-
tended to the police department and
the inviolable right Of citizens to
wait for street cars on downtown
street corners, denied, according to
letter in Mr.. Fixit's mail bag.
DEAR MIR. FIXIT-A little some
thing in regard to our efficient
police. I and friend were standing
a little south Of Washington st. on
Illinois ST., waiting for a Garfield
car. A burly cop" with the scent
of liquor on him walked over to
where we were standing and asked
what we wanted. We told him we
were waiting for a car and that
we had just missed one.
well" he said in a tone any
thing else but pleasant, the side
walk is no place to get a street car.
The street is the place to wait, so
get out there, And I don't mean
maybe"
We went into the street, what else
could we do? What made me sore
was that there We're others waiting
J on the sidewalk at the same time
and he did not say a word to them
Yours truly.

In the case you mentioned, it
probably was the hootch. If you
had any way to identify the
alleged officer, Mr.. Fixit could
bring the matter to the attention
Of the proper authorities
DEAR MR.. FIXIT: What right
have gravel trucks or platform
trucks to park on our streets and
remain there all day in front of a
residence? A motor company on
Capitol Ave. has been doing this for
three weeks on Twelfth st. just west
of Muskingum.
FOR BETTER INDIANAPOLIS.
This seems to be a case where
remedy is impossible, Mr. Fixit dis
covered. The only regulatory city
ordinance allows a car to be parked
not more than ten hours in front
Of one location, except in zones
created by special ordinances.
They "ganged" Mr. F'ixit with
twelve signatures to this one so he
had to hit the ball in self-defense.
DEAR SIR-For some reason
Hancock ST., between Jackson ST.
and the st. Louis Division of the
Big -Four Railroad, was not graded
either this year nor last.
1t is now becoming a mud hole
and no doubt it will get worse as
winter comes on. The undersigned
petition you to take this matter ur
with the proper authorities.

Frank Reid, inspector of the
street commissioners department,
is now investigating your proposal
at Mr.. Fixits request and told
him he believed the Improvement
would be authorized.
DEAR MIR. FIxIT: The resi-.
dents Of Prospect ST., between High
and East SITS, would appreciate it
very much if you would carry their
plea to the Hoosier Motor Club.
About month ago the club placed
warning signs at High and at East
SITS, but they refused to place them
