SEEK OPINION ON
BRIDGE CONTRACT
City Attorney Asked If Al
Tentative Bid Is Legal.

The contract to remodel and ex-
tend Morris st. bridge over White
River in conformity with the flood
prevention program, let Monday by
the board of works to the National
Concrete Company for S26S, 500, was
temporarily held up today by Virgil
Vandagrifft, board president, pend
ing receipt of an opinion from City
Attorney John c. Ruckelshaus.
Vandagrifft sought an opinion on
whether it was legal to make the
award on an alternative bid, which
was not figured on by competing
companies. Other contractors bid on
new bridge. The board reluc-
tantlyr made the award after county
commissioner insisted on the lower
figure.
The city plan commission, which
plans to widen Morris ST., discussed
the situation this afternoon. The
bids for a new bridge were on a
siXty-foot roadway instead of the
present thirty-eight width.

RAILROADS NOW
PROFIT THROUGH
WATER TRAFFIC
Former Bitter Enemies
Friendly Under New
Transportation Plan.
Times WASHINGTON Bureau.
1922 Nom York Arennn


WASHINGTON, May 6.-Two
once bitter enemies-railroad and
water transports-are now pulling
together tremendously in double har-
ness, according to the War Depart
ment today.
Operating upon approximately
$500 miles OF river and coastal
waters" says the statement, in
praise of the work of the Inland
Waterways Corporation, from the
Twin Cities of Minnesota to New
Orleans, from New Orleans to Mo-
bile, and on the Warrior system from
Mobile to Birmingport, Ala, touch
ing only eleven states by water, the
Inland Waterways Corporation,
through relations with 1865 railroads
of the United States, has extended
the benefits of cheaper water trans
portation to thirty additional states"
Joint Rates Cheaper
Water and rail- joint rates have
been worked out, about twenty per
cents cheaper than all-rail rates.
Thus, though the two rivers in
question touch only eleven states,
the benefits of the river Transports
ton have extended to forty.one
states and to O0,OOO,OOO persons.
Shippers of the United States were
saved $1,50O,000 through operations
of the corporation in 1926, Brig. Gen.
T. @. Ashburn says.
Helps Farmer
Due to cheap water rates on grain
for export, the farmer received three
cents per bushel more for his grain.
Consumers of sugar saved many
thousands of dollars, shipments go
ing upstream from New Orleans and
being distributed to PIT cities, often
by railroads.
The War Department declares that
when all waterways are developed
the whole country will have cheaper
transportation, while both rail and
water carriers will receive additional
revenues.
incidentally, the Inland Water
ways Corporation made last year a
net profit of more than $500. 900.

suddenly bethought himself of the
desirability of company on an eX-

the bill.
The young lady, fully years old,

description of the proposeC journey
and accompanied him. But, not for
long. After few squares, her COM
plants becoming too pointed, Max
again showed his long-headedness by
ditching her. Nothing more being
heard from her, it's logical that the
unknown heroine was returned to

The word picture of a mother pull

spiracy, who pleaded not guilty.
"A fine way to bring up a baby"
the judge said.
William Green, now in the en-
ploy of the government as prohi-
bition investigator and self-admitted
former member of the Pope ring,

brought to Indianapolis.

was not taken up by a rifle and re-
volver, utilized for five-gallon cans
of alcohol, made trips from Chicago
to Indianapolis from Aug. ], 1924.
until February, 1925, Green esti-
mated.

Made Rich by Tourists

PARIS, May 6.-The man in
Paris gladdest to see the re-opening
Of the American tourist season each
spring is Gerard, the "chasseur"
at MaXim's, an almost legendary
figure in one of the most famous
cafes in the world.
Americans have made Gerard a,
rich man. They have jut millions of
francs into his bank accounts on ac-
cumulated tips; they have given him
a 60-horse power automobile a castle
on the Loirfe and nice bright red
uniform upon which his medals and
brass buttons show to resplendant
advantage.
Americans arc the finest people
in the world" says Gerard, and
then goes on to tell why he thinks
SO. They, only, know how to tip.
An Englishman may tip, or may for
get all about it, A Frenchman fig
ures it out mathematically and gives
just 10 per cent, no more, no less.
A German gives grudgingly, but an
American gives because he likes to
give"
Knows the Famous
When Gerard comes to work,
around dinner hour in the evening,
his long red car rolls quietly UP to
the door and a liveried chauffeur
steps down to let out the "chas-
suer" of Maxims. Politicians smile
to him, literary lights shake his hand
and theatrical stars of both sexes
are happy when he speaks to them.
In the mornings, he is a man of
the world, just as are the noblest
scions Of the noblest families Of
France. He joins with the select
crowd which rides horseback in the
Bots de Boulougne bride paths. He
canters up to the most fashionable
restaurant of the Bots and sips his
cocktail in the most approved fash
ion from q little shelf built in the
fork of tree so that the amazons
and their cavaliers need not dis
mount.

fury that Gerard has been "chas-
seur" at MaXim's, he has seen every
American celebrity that has passed
through history as some of the wild
est that MaXim's has ever known.
In a reminiscent mood he can re-
call the many parties of Jim Leeds,J
the tinplate magnate, whose custom
it was to buy up MaXim's for the
night lock the door against visitors
and give his guests the best that
Maxim had to offer in their cave.
SO rich has Gerard become in his
services, that when, in 1922, his
daughter married a wealthy hus-
band, Gerard gave her a wedding
present of n million and a quarter
francs as well as a chateau in the
Loire valley. He still has more
money than 80 per cent of his GUS
toners, but as long as American
tourists hold out, he is unwilling to
retire.
