INDIANAPOLIS
is GROWING

G0OBERT H. BRTSON, post
TX master, reports that a sur
0 vey just completed by the
Indianapolis postoffice shows that
there has been a substantial gain
in population and improvement of
business conditions in the city in
tho six months since August, 1925,
when the local pOstoffice con-
Quoted a similar investigation.
In August there were 10S,3S4
occupied residences. office rooms.
business places and apartment
suites. Now there are Ill, 1873 oc-
cupied places Of those classes-a
gain of 2,754. The number Of oc-
cupied residences alone increased
1000 in the six months.
From the data collected 1t is
estimated that the population of
Indianapolis has increased approx
imately 10000 since August.
That is cheering, and should re-
assure local pessimists who think
Indianapolis is Il dead town and
getting deader. Even while they
shake their heads lugubriously.
oppose all public improvements
the city boosting plans. the town
moves forward in solid substantial
growth.
Location, transportation facil-
tiles and natural advantages are
responsible for the gain in pCpula-
ton and increasing industrial and
commercial Importance Of the city.
1t isn't the result of concerted eff
forts to attract industries, adver-
tise and boost the city. For the
past six months we have accom-
plished practically nothing foG a
greater Indianapolis except talk
about 1t.
If the city thus grows without
conscious effort, what would hap
pen if we really organized TO at
tract industries and population
and advertise the advantages Of
Indianapolis like the aggressive
communities of Florida and Cali
fornia? If Indianapolis was
pushed instead of pulled there
would be no limit to it's possible
expansion.

 The remarks of mine which Mir. Churchill answered." saId Secretary Mellon, were contained in an an- sWer l wrote-never think the let ter would be published, to com munication sent by Frederick w. Peabody of Ashburnham, Hass., to President Coolidge. The matter is closed, and of the past. as far as T am concerned. Its reopening is unfortunate"
 To Meet Mussolini
 Secretary Mellon said he was to meet Count Volpi, the Italian fi- nance minister, this afternoon, and Premier Mussolini at later date, yet to be fixed. He made it clear that both were courtesy visits. No audience with the Pope has yet been arranged.
 With political conditions in Europe as they are," Mir. Mellon said, "it is natural that rumors should come up, but the fact is that I have not the slightest intention of studying financial conditions or discussing them with foreign of ficials."
 His original plan was to go to Spain and motor to France, but this idea was abandoned because of re- ports of ecessive heat and bad roads.
 Returns September f5 z
 Instead" the secretary said, T went through France with my son and his companion (James Mckay of Pittsburgh) sightseeing, allowing the boys to see so many of the in- teresting things that Europe affords travellers. My son arrives tomorrow evening by motor from Geneva, after which I will make my plans.
 T expect 10 stay in Rome, where I am visiting for the first time. for several days, and will then probably motor to the north of Italy. stopping off for a holiday at the Italian lakes, I will probably sail from Cherbourg, and hope to get back to the United States about Sept. 15."
 Nr. Mellon said he was having a good vacation despite the journalis- tic bombardment to which he has been subjected.
