Preparations to protect school
children in traffic until the school,

organized and trained were COM
pleted today by Police Chief Claude
M. Worley and Traffic Captain Les

Seven children were killed and
118 injured in the school vacation

with public cooperation. the toll
may be cut during the school year
District patrolmen were assigned
to guard streets near twenty-five
schools where traffic is heaviest, be-
ginning Monday, when public
schools open. Crossings will be
watched morning, noon and after
non. School traffic squads will be
ready in about three weeks.
Worley issued these suggestions to
motorists and parents:
Drive about ten miles an hour in
school districts at dismissal times;
be on lookout for juvenile traffic Of
ficers and assist them; do not pick
up children in the street asking for
rides; parents should see that chill
dren do not play in streets or on
their way home from school, and
compel children to obey juvenile
traffic officers.

CITY SANITARY
BOARD FRETS
over SALARY
Members Wonder Whether
Pay Will Be Cut From
$4,000 to $500.
SLASH, SAYS EXPERT
Statute Fixes Lower Sum
When No Construction
Is Under Way.

Whether city sanitary board
members will receive $500 yearly
salary or 5000 in 1928 is worrying
the sanitary commissioners.
1t is understood the statute fixes
the salary at $500 when "construc-
ton is under way" and $500 when
there is no construction work to
supervise.
William H. Book, Chamber of
Commerce civic expert, raised the
question in connection with the 1928
budget:
rs any construction work under
way?"
Construction Work Ended
"All construction work. Of the de-
partment has been completed for
several months, with opening of the
garbage plant early in the summer.
1t is true some construction items
are planned to be built, such as a
small sewer extension from the
Jackson st. drain, and there is Gis-
cussion of additions to the city's
sewage disposal system.
However. the time has arrived
and passed when the commissioners
should retire from these salaries,
and these items should be reduced
in the 1928 budget" declared Books
report to the civic committee.
City council fixes only the tax
rate and the commissioners arrange
the budget appropriations. A levy
of .071U was fixed by council in adj
dition to the .044 for sanitation
bonds.
A levy of .004 is provided in ac-
cordance with the State tax board
order, in conformity with a court
ruling, which is to care for bills in
the last year of the Shank admins
tration.
Seeks Legal Opinion
Russell T. MacFall. sanitary board
president. said he expected to seek
a legal opinion of the salary oues-
ton and ask the State board of ac-
counts to rule on the issue.
We are doing as much work as
ever and have to pay some one to
do it. If the board didn't do the
work, we would have to pay some
one else, so 1t would not be any
saving" MacFall said.
Charles H. Hurd, consultant en-
gineer, is studying the Broad Rip
pie sewage area, with view to rec
ommending augmenting of the city
sewage disposal system to care for
Broad Ripple and an area north and
west of Fifty-Sixth ST., according to
MacFall.
