RESIDENTS RESISTING
MCounCiImen Could Boss
Races if They Succeed.

What is believed to be a drive by
majority faction councilmen to hold
a legislative club over the Indian
apolis Motor Speedway began today
with announcement by Councilwan
r. Walter Dorsett that an ordinance
to annex Speedway City will be pre-
sented at council meeting Monday
night.
However, residents of Speedway
City, foreseeing the maneuver, are
resisting the annexation movement.
Might Curb Races
If councilmen win. they would be
in a position to regulate Speedway
races. An ordinance prohibiting the
Speedway race on Memorial Day
could constantly be held over the
officials of the Speedway, it was
said.
The little suburb is engaged in a
campaign to elect town officers. fol-
lowing authorization Of its incorpo-
ration by county commissioners two
weeks ago. The election is sched-
uled for Wednesday.
Spokesman for the residents con-
tend that 81 per cent of the citizens
signed a petition for incorporation
as a town. At a vote to determine
whether the town should incorpo-
rate the proposal won by a vote OF
1872 to 20.
Future annexation of Beech Grove
and Ben Davis also is being consid-
cred by councilmen, according to
Dorsett.
d Beech Grove Opposed
y A strong faction in Beech Grove
is opposed to the maneuver. During
the last administration an annexa-
ton attempt was defeated by Beech
Grove citizens. The Big Four Rail-
road Company maintains large shops
in that suburb and annexation would
mean addition of thousands of dol
lars in taxes to the expenses of that
company
In Ben Davis, community move
ment toward incorporation in order
to fight annexation already is in
progress. Committees have. been
chosen to canvass the town to
determine whether the public favors
the incorporation movement.
Can Be Protested
According to Carl G.. Winters, as
sistant in the city legal department,
one or more residents of an incor-
porated town can file remonstrance
against annexation in Superior or
circuit courts.
The court can declare the annexa-
tion ordinance void If two-thirds of
the voters oppose annexation. How
ever, If the court feels the annexa-
ton Is necessary for the growth and
welfare Of the city or the territory af-
fected he can order it effective re-
gardless.
