AS president of the Indianapolis
Humane Society. invite the public
to call at the humane office. third
floor, police headquarters, and ex-
anime the records of the humane
work done by the society. The rec
ords will show that the society does

two separate organizations.
The law provides that the Indian

to gather up stray dogs from the

not be any dogs appropriated to any

Dumps
By GAYLORD NELSON

IT HE Thirteenth Ward Civic
League seeks eradication of
9ansightly and fetid rubbish
dumps between S. Meridian st. and
White River. Members will confer
with the board of health about the
nuisance.
Residents in the vicinity declare
they must keep window Theoretically
sealed to prevent the aroma Of de-
caying refuse from stealing in and
styangling them in their sleep. Even
with that precaution enough seeps
in to feed a stable of Nightmares.
Who can blame them for wanting
to get rid of lhe undesirable neigh
Dor?
A city dump has nothing to recon-
mend 1t. 1t is an aesthetic. intel
lectual. artistic and economic fall
ure-yet It manages to survive and
grow strong and rancid in every
community because of civic careless
ness.
Wherever people live rubbish ac-
cumulates. Disposal is a problem.
The careless American way has been
to dump the trash on any convenient
piece OF vacant ground near the
edge OF town.
AS a result the outskirts of most
American cities are an untidy mess
Of tin cans and wornout automobile
tires. They form the civic. monu-
ments that first catch the eyes Of
the incoming visitors.
Perhaps such monuments are
quaint and fascinating to the tour
list, but they are unhealthy and I'M
necessary nuisances. There is no
reason why they should be permitted
in residential sections of Indianap-
oils

RI LAWRENCE V. SHERIDAN.
Ill in report to the park board.
recommends creation OF a
county park commission and adop-
ton OF comprehensive plans for
parks in Marion County.
Perhaps such proposal seems an
idle fancy. At present with Marion
County outside of Indianapolis
mostly farm land the immediate need
for a county park commission Is not
acute. 1t might seem as superhuous
as a county navy department.
But it isn't as foolish as it sounds.
1t is looking forward fifty years.
If the city continues to grow as
1t has in the past. the county will
have a population OF 100000 in fifty
years. Its whole area will become a
metropolitan district.
That period seems very remote
hardly worth bothering about. Lack
OF vision, however, in planning pub
lie improvements, streets. boulevards
and park system has been costly to
Indianapolis.
Tracts for park sites that could
have been acquired cheaply years
ago were bought later at high prices.
In 1895 the land west of Riley Hos
pital-for which the city eventually
paid ss7S, O00-could have been Sc
cured for $4,000.
1t is probably better to plan for a
county park system now while fox
hunters and farm mortgages cavort
in the open spaces than to walt until
a teeming population sprouts all over
Marion County.

counties-passed the House Thurs
day. The levy viii raise about $780,
900 for the work.
That sum spent at a lumber yard
wouldn't buy very many trees-per-
haps enough for few garages-nor

ghost of the forest primeval on de-
nuded Hoosier hillsides. Neverthe-
less, it's a start.
Reforestation is important in In
