COUNTY LAYS
nine MILES OF !.
HARD ROADS
Six Stretches of Concrete
Completed This Year at
Cost of $225, 900.
HOLT ROAD is BOOSTED
Officials Receive Numerous
Regrets for Artery to
Airport. 4

Nine miles of concrete roads have
been built in Marion County at a,
cost of about $225,00O this summer.
Several other highways are now in
process of improvement, according
to county officials.
The roads completed were for
the most part small strips petit
toned for several times by prop
erty owners. They were.
TibbS Ave, from Washington to
Thirtieth Sts.; keystone Ave, one
and one-half miles; Fifty-Ninth ST.,
one mile; Forty-Sixt ST., one and
one-half miles; Brill ST., one and
one-half miles, and Sherman Dr..
south Of Beech Grove, on emile.
Construction on Tibbs Ave. was
started more than year ago, but
because of bad weather last fail
was stopped temporarily.
For the next few months the
county gangs will be busy on the
Spring Valley Rd., which extends
from the Mooresville Rd. to the
county line, five and one-half miles.
This road, with three bridges, will
cost about $4,000. It will be an
opening to the south and west part
of the county.
Lindbergh Stirs Interest
Requests for the immediate i'm
provement of Holt Rd., which runs
past the Mars Hill airport are being
received daily by county road Of
ficials and commissioners. Demand
for the improvement of this road
has increased since the visit to In
dianapolis of Col Charles A. Lind
bergh, who landed at this field.
County commissioners we're forced
then to order quick grading of the
road in oJder to make it passable
At the county engineers Office it
was said nothing will be done on
the road Until county commissioners
give the order.
Sherman Dr., north of Thirty
Eighth ST., will be paved for one
mile this fall.
Other improvements Planned
Minnesota ST., from Eagle Creek
to Lynhurst Dr., will be improved
with gravel. This will open APP
proach to bridge which has stood
unused for years, due to the impas-
stability of the roadway.
AT present Wall st. pike at Eagle
Greek also is blocked because of the
recent burning of the old covered
bridge that stood at this location
The county has appropriated $780,
600 for a modern structure. This
will be done soon, it was said.
Luther Tex, county road superin-
tendent, said gravel and concrete
roads are in good shape for fall
weather.

FACTS OF lot
DEAL MAY co
TO GRAND Jury
Matter May Be Made Part
of Alleged Political Cor
ruption Quiz.
PREDICT COUNCIL PROBE
investigation Probably VIII
Be Asked at Next SeS-
sion Of City Chiefs.

Investigation of the purchase of
q lot at Thirty Eighth st. and
Central Ave-, by John F. Snyder
and later by City Councilman O.
Ray Albertson probably will be made
by the county grand jury, it was
learned today.
1.-THE grand jury will consider
anything of that nature which
affects the public" Deputy Pros
ecutor William H. Sheaffer said.
Sheaffer indicated the matter may
be taken up as part of the probe
into alleged political corruption.
He said the jury is busy at this
time," but probably will look into
the lot transaction.
Council May Probe Deal
Several council members have
said an investigation of the deal
may be made by the council at the
next meeting. According to records
Snyder bought the lot from the park
board at an advertised sale on Nov.
5, 1926, and on the same day sold it
to Albertson for profit of about
$500. Snyder paid $4,000 for the
location.
Check for payment of ;he first
sale was not received by the park
board until March Is, which was
turned into the board by Snyder.
Property Value Gains
Two months after the city re-
ceived payment on the property, title
to which had already been obtained
by Albertsor, the councilman intro
duced an ordinance rezoning the
site for business. This enhanced the
locations value, it is said
According to Corporation Counsel
Schuyler Haas the deal will have no
bearing on Albertsons official posi-
ton unless he used his Office to OBJ
tain money for personal gain.

Pleads for State Money
to Aid Studyof Mounds
Kentucky and Indiana Dark
est on Biologists Maps,
Says Speaker.

Kentucky and Indiana are the
darkest spots on the archaeological
map of the Mississippi valley, said
William r. Teel,. chairman of the
archaeological section of the indiana
Historical Bureau, speaking on
mound builders to the Service Club.
State aid for the scientific study
and investigation of these should be
provided here as in other States,
he said.
Building Of mounds by these early
people was not confined to this
locality, as many suppose, he said.
The Egyptian pyramids are nothing
less than mounds. AS sand couldn't
be used the builders employed stone,
making more lasting monument
than those elsewhere formed of
earth.
Why. Were They Built?
The pre-Columbian American IN
dams knew nothing of the mound
builders, who had preceded them,
although they likely descended from
them.
According to Teel, it is a matter
of conjecture why these mounds
were built. Many of them were
used as sepulchers, some seem to
be sacrificial spots and others as
lookoutS.
Teel told of participating in an
exploration of the Albee Mound, 10
Gated in the northwestern portion of
Sullivan County. Although there
are about fourteen others in this
vicinity this one YVES selected for
study. 1t is 80 feet high, extending
375 feet from east to west and 2e5
feet in a north-and south direction,
covering three acres.
Life Not Nomadic
Excepting for a few crude
hierogryphics no indication of
written language was found. The
life of the mound-builders was diff
ferent from the Indians, who were
nomadic.
Archeologists believe the mound
builders were less transient, as
articles found in mounds imply that
they raised such crops as corn and
beans, and gathered nuts.
The location of numerous mounds
near streams is interpreted to mean
that the builders were also fisher
men.

Father, Police Chief Return
From Hurried Mystery
Trip.
~ United Press

~ CHted PreSS
STREATOR, ILL.,, Aug. 26.-Pres-
ence in Streator today of DR.. H. G.
Hill, Chief of Police Robb and w.
@. Jones, attorney, who left sud-
denly last night, was believed to in
dictate that any hope Harry Hill
contemplated surrender to stand
trial for killing his mother, was I'M
founded.
The men were believed to
have undertaken an all-night au-
tomobile trip to bring the fugitive
back. But they returned to their
places of business this morning, it
was learned. 1t was reasoned that
if they had been out all night they
would have slept late.
Failure of all three to make any
statement, however, supported the
belief they had learned something
of the youths whereabouts last
night. They all refused to dis
cuss it, however.
Hill has beeen missing since the
discovery OF his mothers body in a
shallow grave in the basement of
her Streator home. He financed
his fight, police learned, with
forged checks after having his au-
tomobile overhauled and equipped
for a long trip.
Meantime, States Attorney Rus
sell G. Hanson was. attempting to
prove mud on pair of young Hills
shoes was similar to the clay in
which the body was buried, under
the bricks of the basement floor.
The shoes were found yesterday
in the home of the dead woman,
and have been definitely estab-
lished as belonging to her son.
