Usher. Dale is appealing from a
ninety-d day Indiana State farm SEN

Letter Says.

1.-THE walking public is entitled to
as much consideration as the mo-

4O3 Pythian Bldg, said today in a
letter to the Traffic Editor OF The
Times.
1.-The walking public is just as busy
and in just as much hurry. I don't
see why the motorist should be
given preference, forcing the pedes-
trian to dart between the fast NOV
ing cars to get across the street"
said WATSON.
Indianapolis traffic conditions
are deplorable and confusing to the
visitor" said WATSON, who is classi-
fed manager of the Craftsman, Ma
sonic publication.
Urges Traffic Towers
"As a man on the street most or
the time, 1 dread to try to cross,
especially at any intersection where
an avenue runs into the street. II
seems that in a city this size there
can be something done to protec:
the pedestrian.
MY suggestion would be traffic
towers like Chicago, with a period
when only pedestrian traffic would
move" WATSON suggested.
The traffic tower proposed was
tried here several years ago and
found unsatisfactory, police said.
A committee named by the board
of safety is considering plans OF

OPEN FIGHT ON
ABOL|SHING OF
CIVIL SERVICE
Alien, Ex-Fire Board Head,
I Considers Legal Steps
Against Move.

Legal steps to block adjustment
of civil service by the Duvall admin
istration city cabinet were consld-
cred today by Andrew j. Allen, for
mer fire civil service chairman.
John L. Duvall, who says he is
mayor, called a special cabinet meet
ing Monday afternoon to abolish
civil service regulations for the po-
lice and fire departments. This would
give politicians free hand once
more.
Adjustment of the civil service
rules have been expected several
weeks. Appointments of Police Chief
Claude M .Worley, succeeding Detec-
tive Chief Claude F. johnson, for
mer department head, and other po-
lice appointments were made by the
safety board on orders from Duvall
several weeks ago.
Vote Is Unanimous
The cabinet meeting was held be-
hind closed doors. 1t was said the
vote was unanimous so mo one
would get the blame"
The board of safety of which
Frederick w. Connell is president
recently called in Allen and Glenn
B. Ralston, other board member, in
conference over appointment OF
seven firemen. After visiting Duvall
the board announced the seven
would be taken from the civil
service list and the fire commits
sioners would continue to serve.
Allen said he would inquire to see
II there is any legal recourse IN
fighting the Duva1 move.
Took Test in Good Faith
1.-THE twenty-five men who passed
the civil service examination last
spring took the test in good faith
and are high-grade individuals. I
feel that they have some rights
which should be protected. AS a
citizen of Indianapolis, a taxpayer
and former fire civil service chair
man, I think I should do what I
could to preserve their standing on
the eligibility list" Allen said.
Of the 225 who filed application
1874 took the tests last spring.
Allen pointed out that Duvall's ex-
PLANTATION Of dropping Of the civil
service was contradictory, citing his
speech before the Indiana Police
Chiefs Association 1auding civil
service. Duvall told the police chiefs
that civil service had eliminated pol
itics in the police and fire depart
ment and was largely responsible
for their efficiency.
Hailed as Backward Step
william H. Book, Chamber of
Commerce civic affairs secretary,
said the civic committee had been
interested in the survival Of civil
service and likely would issue a
statement.
"This is backward step not only
from the standpoint of citizen and
taxpayer but from the standpoint
of economy. Civil service was the
outstanding thing of this admins
tration," Book said.
The action is expected to pave
the way for appointment of seven
f1remen, recently recommended by
Fire Chief Jesse A. Hutsell, who
were not on the civil service list.
