100 FOUND IN CANVASS

Indianapolis shacks are doomed.
That's the word from city officials,
who are in the midst Of campaign
to rid the city of hundreds Of dilapi'
dated structures which have become
fire hazards and menaces to health.
City authorities during the past
week have issued orders for the i'm
mediate repair or wrecking of sew
enty-five buildings.
From list Of more than one hun
dred shaky edifices discovered in a
canvass by Fire Prevention Chief
Horace T. Carey and his inspectors
and board of health officials, build
ing department officers have con-
Cured in seventy-ive recommenda-
tions.
Owners Notified
Owners Of these questionable prop
critics will receive official notification
to take action.
"Not only are many or these
buildings fire hazards, but number
are actually ready to fall down.,
said Bert ]. Westover, city building
commissioner. Some are leaning
at an angle Of several degrees and
in other cases the walls have bulged
dangerously.
In some instances vigorous apph-
cation of soap and water with the
proper amount of elbow grease will
solve the difficulty Of fire possibility
a nd of iusa sanitation
When the property owner shows
inclination to authorize improve
ments needed. the policy of the FIRE
prevention department is to give
him a chance.
However, / should strongly ad-
wise owners of tumble-down and in
sanitary buildings to start improve
ments before our inspectors arrive,
il they wish to save their proper
ties" said Carey. This movement
will continue until the disgraceful
shanties are removed as possibilities
of fire traps and disease breeders"
Many Neighborhoods
The structures are not peculiar
to certain parts of the city. They
are being discovered in many neigh
borhoods. according to Miss Mary
Guipe, fire prevention secretary.
"Why, 1 went in one house which
I believe l could have pushed down."
said Miss Gu'pe. who is not par.
ticularly brawny.

LETTER PRAISES BODY

Indication that Governor Ed Jack
son had dropped his fight to oust
John D. Williams, director Of the
State highway commission, was con-
tained today in a letter sent to M.
E. Noblet, secretary of the Hoosier
State Automobile Association.
The Governor, in notifying Noblet
he would be unable, because of other
engagements, to attend a good roads
meeting at the Claypool at l p. m.
today, took occasion to speak of the
State highway commission thus:
"The functiOning of the depart.
rnent under this law at this time
is very gratifying"
For months the Governor through
various acts has indicated op-
position to Williams. 1t has been
repeatedly stated that he desired
Williams resignation. Williams is
under indictment in Criminal Court
in the war materials sale case.
Letter Is Surprise
The Governor several months ago,
after attempting to get the reslgna-
ton from the commission of Earl
D. Crawford, also under indictment,
refused to reappoint Crawford when
his term expired. Strong pressure
had been brought to bear upon the
Governor to retain Crawford.
AS a result these paragra phs from
the Governor S letter occasioned sur.
prise among politicians:
ION account of my inability to be
there it might be well for me to
state that 1 am of the opinion that
our highway law is one of the very
best of any of the States of the
Union. The functioning of the de-
partment under this Jaw is at this
time very gratifying.
I'VE have the largest program Of
highway construction and mainte-
nances this year that we have had in
any year during the existence Of the
highway department. We are max
ing all four plans to carry out
program of increased mileage for
next year and the year following.
Department Efficient
"I am confident that the taxpay-
ers of the State are receiving a dol
lars value for every dollar expended
by the highway department. and
have just reason to be proud of the
accomplishment of the department.
