Only litigation concerning efforts
of church members to retain their
property halts progress of Pleasant
Run Blvd. down S. keystone Ave-.
Mr.. F'ixit was told today.
DEAR MIR. FLXIT: I have been
a property owner Of this city for
some years. I have paid every tax
that was taxable.
have during the last two or
three months bought a home on S.
keystone Ave. under the impression
that the boulevard was coming
through immedia ely as have paid
assessments long ago where lived
in another section of the south side.
I thought / would improve my
condition, but 1 find the dust is far
worse than where 1 was. l keep my
se freshly painted and lawns
Kept nice to help boost the city, but
what can I do? No sewer connec-
tions or decent streets, not even oil.
Please let ME know If The boulevard
is coming through and how long
before sewers will be run south of
the creek.
M. LEWIS.
An Injunction suit filed by
church members is delaying the
improvement. However, the park
board attorney has been instruct
ed to seek its dissolution. Sewers
are awaiting completion Of the
Pleasant Run main sanitary inter-
ceptor sewer Mr.. F1xit's estimate
is that there will be no sewer
facilities for you before one year.
Construction of the boulevard,
however, is scheduled soon.
DEAR MR.. F'IXIT: We have trees
in our yard. When the leaves fall
on the neighbors yard. can they
sweep them in our yard? We also
need a silent cop at Prospect st.
md Fountain Square.
TIMES READER.
You'd best proceed cautiously.
II the trees overhang the adjoin-
ing yard, the owner has legal
power to have them removed. The
supply of stop and go signals is
almost exhausted. However, your
request will be considered later.
Members of the State highway
commission are invited to read the
following Letter. 1t may also be of
interest to the city authorities int he
lawns ment loned. Mr.. Exits domain
So. 1T the city limits.
WEEAR MIR. FIXIT-Does your
iurisd .ction extended outside the city
Of Indianapolis? If so, would like
to a. SIX your help.
While detouring through southern
Indiana last Sunday, on some OF
the worst roads IN the Union, the
State roads, which are supported by
us gasoline fans at cents pei
gallon, or about $S,000,000 a year
completely knocked out my wind.
Then we arrived at the little city
of Franklin. If you have any in
fuence with the city council of that
otherwise seemingly civilized city
wish you would assure it theii
streets are even worse than the
State roads, If possible.
The State highway commission
might tour Michigan, too, and learn
now to take care of gravel roads
as 1t seems that Is all the kind we
are doomed to have for years.

DEAR MR.. FIXIT: I have tried
unsuccessfully for over a year to
have the walks on w. Fourteenth
st. from Pershing Ave. to the alley
between N. fremont and N
Belle View improved. From N. Perish

from fremont to the alley there is

low and impossible in wet weather

W. P. Hargon. clerk of the street
commissioners office, promised Mr.
Fixit to attend'to the problem of
weeds. If you will describe in de-

Fixt will pursue that section of
your complaint.
DEAR M. FIXIT: Will you please
thank the man that has charge OF
street oiling for the oil we did not
