thin hi-speed steel blade is weld
ed to a less expensive, ordinary
steel handle, at a greatly reduced
cost.

New Lighting System for
City'S ShoWpIaCe to
Require $10,500.
PUSH PLAN FOR YEARS
Civic Clubs Help Move for
Proper Illumination of
CenterpieCe.

Efforts to complete the Soldiers
and Sailors Monument new light
ing system before July will be
made by Colonel Oran Perry, Mon
ument superintendent.
Perry has asked the state budget
committee for an appropriation OF
$10,500 to rebuild the four candle
labra at the corners of the water
basins, where iron supports have
ruSted to such extent that they are
in danger of collapSing.
I'VE plan to install system of
illumination that will make the
Monument stand out as prominently
by night as by day." Colonel Perry
declared.
This work must be done in the
spring and summer time, so it is
important that the funds be made
available on the passage of the bill
by the coming legislature, as it is
our desire that the work be COM
pleted by July T." he said.
Plans Are Ready
Colonel Perry already has COM
plete plans and specifications de-
signed by an electrical engineer and
will be ready to start work as
quickly as the legislature makes the
appropriation.
TIL emovement for proper illumi-
nation of he monument was start
ed several years ago and has had
the support of the Federation of
Civic Clubs, Chamber of Commerce
and other organizations.
The Civil war memorial in the
downtown oval is the show place OF
Indianapolis, known throughout thu
world. and deserves he lighting IA
cilities to properly "set it off," civic
leaders pointed out.
The Monument board of control
asked the budget committee fol
S25,500 for maintenance expenses
$12,500 for personal service and
$4,000 for operating costs. A. B.
Champion, chairman; T. B. Spring
er, and Dan A. Smith composed the
board.
Pay increase Asked
Increase of $40 a month for each
employe, all Civil war veterans, was
asked of the general assembly.
Ever since dedication of the
monument, the employees have been
soldiers of the Civil war who have
served every day of the year at
wages much less than similar en-
ployeS of state institutions, and
were enable to live because their
wages were supplemented by pen
sions from the federal government"
Colonel Perry stated.
There is no reason their pay
should not be increased, for the fig
ures the last nine years show that
while the average annual cost has
been $16,933, the annual receipts for
admission have been $14,628, making
the cost to the state the trivial sum
of $4,000"

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.-Attorney
General John G. Sargent and Mrs.

asked soon about sending depart
ment of justice agents to Atlanta
prison to investigate conditions,

Representative John G.. Cooper of

hecrings at which they will be
Questioned.
Sargent recently advised wardens
Of all federal prisons that from time
to time agents may be committed
secretly to their institutions.
I'm one respect the policy is not a
good one, because much of the in
fo'~ on which the agents obtain is
from prisoners whose testimony can
not be relied upon, but I will not
make up my mind on what to
recommend until the hearings have
been concluded" Cooper said.
