Forecast New Postal Route
in Near Future. :

Air mail for Indianapolis in the
near future was forecast today by
Paul V. Moore, secretary Of the
Indianapolis Airport Corporation,
with the announcement from the
Postoffice Department at Washing
ton that bids are being advertised
inviting proposals for air mail con-
tracts between New York and Chi
cago, superseding the present Gov
ernment-operated route.
"a Chicago Birmingham route
soon will be established" Moore de-
clared, ION the heels of the Govern
ment's change to private interests
operating the most important route.
We expect soon to prepare sur
vey Of the city to see what amount
Of air mail can be assured daily to
the bidding carriers
Twice before the question Of estab-
fishing the Chicago-B Birmingham
route was opened for bids, companies
at that time being too poorly financed
to be awarded the contract, Moore
said.
The Washington proposition was
announced by w. Irving Glover, Sec

Unless Quality Improves

Bootleggers are starving in In
diana college towns, according to
George l.. Winkler. deputy Federal
prohibition administrator.
Drinking among the Indiana
college students has decreased four
fifths within the past few years, :"
Winkler said.
1.-THE kind Of stuff offered to col
lege students is such rotten liquor
that they have quit drinking it
largely on their own volition,"
Winkler said.
81 attended dances at both Purdue
and Indiana Universities recently,
and I'm glad to say that I didn't
even smell liquor at either dance.
Nither did Miss Ardery, who also
attended"
Miss Ardery is Winkler's sec
rotary.
Efforts in Indiana have been
effectively centered from time to
time on cleaning up college towns
of bootleggers and liquor. These
drives have been marked with
successful results"
Indiana ranks high as a dry State
in general, Winkier added, and
especially holds a dry record in it's
colleges.

PETITIONS WRIT TO UNSEAT DEARTH
SAYS CITIES BENEFIT
BY GUSHING POLITICS
City Manager ExtoIls
BusineSS-Like Form
of City Government.

There is no such thing as a
Democratic sewer pipe or Repub-
lican light plant"
This is the answer of Paul r. Tay-
lor, city manager of Grand Haven,
Mich, to the charge that the city
manager form of government is I'M
American because it is nonpclitical.
THE American taxpayer is not that
much interested in politics, anyway"
said Taylor who is in Indianapolis
inspecting the Indianapolis Water
Company filtration plant here. HE
wants his city government run ef-
ficiently and economically and the
city manager form of government
does that" he says.
THE city manager form preserves
for State and National problems the
highest ideals of politics by remov-
ing politics from the comparatively
petty field of municipalities.
Native sHOOsier
Taylor, native son of Indiana and
graduate of Purdue University. has
served seven years as manager of
Grand Haven. He is well-known in
Indianapolis having been employed
here for several years.
Grand Haven adopted the man.
ager form of government twelve
years ago and was the third city in
Michigan to adopt it. Today there
are more than twenty-five Michigan
cities operating under the system.
In almost all casesNthe change was
brought about by taxpayers dis
gusted with inefficient party
methods" Taylor said.
Combination of the police and fire
departments under single head
with an assistant in each branch to,
serve as fire and police chief re-
spectively; all done by the city itself
without letting a contract and COM
bination of the sewer, water dis
tribution and street department
under a single head are some of the
economies affected by the city man.
ager plan under Taylor.
Guest Of Angus
The latter combination does away
with the common nuisance in most
cities of tearing up pavements to
lay sewer and water pipes. This is
seldom necessary. Taylor said. when
cooperation exists among the three
departments affected.
Under Michigan law, no mayor
remains in office more than a year
following the selection Of a city
manager by popular vote. This is
contrary to provisions Of the
mayors protection" bill passed by
the recent Indiana Legislature and
now awaiting Governor Jackson's
signature, which permits mayor
TO retain hold of the city reins until
the end of his term. The bill was
designed to protect Mayors Duvall,
Indianapolis, and Males. Evans
vile, both Of whom are facing
strong popular sentiment for the
city manager form.

tation of installing a similar system

Majority Faction County Commits
sioner Charles O. Cutton said many
of these features will be removed
but that no change in location of

Rather than make changes after

sidered by the State board before

George Montgomery declared. ''They
should have removed those 'objec-

they have overrented the place and
expect more money for remodeling."
Sutton and Cassius L. Hogle leased
