SELLS CITY
PAVING BASE.
indianapolis to Have New
Material for Repairing
of Bad Streets.
WORSE THAN IN. SPRING
LuII Noticed in Work-Some
Men Dropped.
WORSE THAN IN. SPRING

indianapolis is to have its streets
. repaired with a new product, the
base of which is purchased through
Lawrence Cartright, member Of the
Republican State central committee.
But at present there is practi-
cally no repairing going on, for
the city has no material with which
to patch the thoroughfares. A ship
ment is expected next week.
And, while the city marks time,
condition of the streets Is steadily
growing worse.
Last week residents received ray
of hope when councilmen discovered
that the city has $4,000 left out Of
the State gas tax money.
Force Was Cut
1t seemed that the city engineers
Office would swing right to the task.
But since then, little has been done.
With no material on hand, num-
ber of workmen were laid off Wednes-
day, and it is said that more are to
be released.
The new product, called seal
pack" is to be mixed by the city.
1t has a base Of crushed stone, held
together by tar.
I'VE just send our orders for the
crushed stone through Lawrence
Cartwright" said John Collins, city
purchasing agent. 1T does not mat
ter what company we buy from.
They all are in cahoots."
ber of the Republican central COM
mittee, is secretary of the Indiana
Crushed Stone Association.
The tar is purchased from the
American Tar Products Company,
represented here by the Associated
Service Company.
The city has had a hectic time
with various patching materials,
and the experiments have proven
costly, for, according to Arthur
Hapfffer. assfstgntss city engineer,
there are more holes in the streets
now than there were last spring,
after the wear and tear OF winter
traffic.
After the city asphalt plant was
closed down last spring, on orders
of George Schmidt, then city
engineer "Ameisite" a special prod
uct costing $14 a ton, was tried. This
proved unsatisfactory, according to
Hauffler.
Amiesite, at $14 a ton, was pur-
chased from ]. A. Mcdonald, friend
Of Lem H, Trotter, board of works
member and State Republican leader.
The Times discovered that the annie
site cost considerably more than
patching from the city plant.
Recently Roy C. Shaneberger,
board Of works president, ordered
that no more amiecite be used, on
the ground that it was too costly,
after taking into consideration it's
durability.
Plant Abandoned
Then came Kentucky rock asphalt,
sold by w. Todd Young, campaign
manager in Marion County for
Senator Arthur r. Robinson.
This was so poor that the wind
blew some of it OUT" Hauffler said,
laughing. A car load of this product
recently was sent back, as it did not
come up to specifications.
The city asphalt plant meanwhile
is practically abandoned, being used
just as headquarters for the men.
In Kokomo, "Ameisite" has
proven unsatisfactory it is said.
That city purchased three carloads
Of the material, but did not find it
as successful as )emulsified asphalt,
(which the city street department
Dmixed itself with stone. -

surrounded a reported conference,
on which interest was focused
at Philadelphia, Pa, between
Robert I. Todd, president of the In
dianapoIis Street Railway Company,
Randall, Morgan and Harry Reid.
Joseph G.. MCGOWAN, secretary of
the street railway, said he did not
know Todd was to be in conference
with Reid. Todd, he understood, was
to go to washington.
Morgan is one of the chief owners
OF the street railway company, and
Reid is president of the Interstate
Public Service Corporation, largest
OF the Samuel insult transportation
utilities in Indiana.
The reported meeting Is enhanced
by the fact that for months a story
has been current in Indiana that
insult has sought control of the
street railway company.

inence as a missing witness" when
Rucker asked that the injunction
suit hearing be continued because
subpoena servers had failed to find
Reid. At the same time, Reid was
being sought with a subpoena from
the Marion County grand jury,
which is continuing its investigation
into alleged political corruption.

Conspiracy Charge
In the Injunction complaint,
Rucker charged that utilities mag
mates contributed 1000 to the Gov
ernor Jackson campaign fund, with
the understanding that the public
service commission would be favor
able to them. Todd was one Of the
contributors named, as also was
Samuel insult.
Lawrence Lyons, former Repub-
lican State chairman, admitted over
the telephone to The>Times that he
had talked with Reid about cam
paign contributions.
Reid was termed "the key witness"
by Rucker at the hearing in Circuit
Court Wednesday. 1t was reported
at his home that he was expected
back today, but Todd's leaving the
city for the Philadelphia conference
apparently changed his plans.
