CITY TO Spend
S564,OOO ON
Sewage Lines
System for Broad Ripple,
EnIarging of Disposal
Plant Provided.
0. K. PUT ON PLANS
Engineer Ordered to Go on
With Preparation of
Specifications.

General plans for a sewage Sys-
tenn, connecting with the main city
sewage system, to care for Broad
Ripple and surrounding territory,
and to enlarge the city sewage dis
posal plant at Sellers farm, south
west of the city, at cost of ap-
proximately $564,000, we're adopted
by the city sanitary board today.
Charles H. Hurd, consulting en-
gineer. was ordered to prepare de-
tailed plans. 1t was agreed to allow
Hurd a fee of SIS per cent of the
cost for plans and construction SUI
pervision.
The action was taken by Board
President o. G. Ross and City En-
gineer A. H. Moore at a conference
with Mayor Slack and Hurd. B. j.
T. Jeup, the other board member,
who has been kept at his home by
injuries received in a fall several
weeks ago, had approved the project,
it was said.
Prevent River Pollution
The project, board members said,
will prevent pollution Of White
River by Broad Ripple sewage, care
for that territory permanently and
will make it possible in about ten
years to build an addition to the
Crooked Greek interceptor sewer
northwest of the Highland Golf and
Country Club and install a sewage
system for the Crows Nest and
neighboring territory.
At present Broad Ripple district
sewage is pumped into the city main
disposal system by a pumping sta
ton at Westfield Blvd. and Meridian
st. The present facilities, however,
have not cared for all the sewage
and the overflow has been going into
White River.
1t was this overflow, which pol
1uted White River last summer,
making necessary the closing Of Nc
Clure Beach, DR.. Herman G. Nor
gan, city health board secretary,
said.
System to Cost $27O,OOO
The new plans call for expendi-
ture of about $270,000 on the Broad
Ripple district system and enlarge
ment of the Westfield Blvd. and
Meridian st. pumping station.
The system, it is said, will care
for the district north of Forty
Sixth-St., between Illinois st. and
the canal to Sixty Fourth ST., and
east of Illinois st. north of Fifty
Second st.
An interceptor sewer will connect
with the present system at NIichi-
gan and Harding SITS.
1t is proposed to spend $252,00o
of the total amount to enlarge the
Sellers farm disposal plant. In
cluded among the additions will be
additional settler for the activated
sludge system.
Put Plant in Operation
Thirty thousand is to be spent to
place in operation the dehydration
plant at the farm, which was built
at cost of 100000 four years ago
and has never been used.
The former sanitary board fac
ton headed by President Russell T.
MacFall refused to place the plant
in operation after it had been nearly
completed, declaring similar plants
had been unsuccessful in other
cities.

DEATH FEARED IN
MISSING GIRL CASE

Authorities, engaged in an at
tempt to locate Miss Smith, today
expressed the fear that the Smith
college freShman-who was known
to be worried because her grades
were not high-might have jumped
into the Connecticut River.
John Walsh of Holyoke, Mass,
reported he had seen an object in
the river which might have been
a girls body.
The river was watched near
Holyoke, but the object was not
seen again.
Students of Amherst hunted in
the underbrush near the Northamp-
ton Asylum for the Insane, in the
belief the girl might have been way
laid by one Of the inmates, but
found no trace Of her.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Presi-

Capital today after his first prcsl-
Dental trip outside Of the con-
tinental United States.
The special train bearing Presi-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge on the last
lap Of their trip back from Havana,
Cuba, where the chief executive as
sisted in opening the sixth Pam
American Congress, reached the
Union station at 7:12 a. m.
In contrast with the ovation given
him by the Cubans and by the
American cities through which he
journeyed on his five-day trip, there
was no crowd at all to greet the
President here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge went i'm
mediately to their waiting auto
mobiles and were taken to the
White House concluding a trip
deemed historic by some.
President Is Pleased
Mr.. Coolidge was cheerful over
the result of his long trip. He was
pictured as hopeful that the Pan
American nations are convinced
that the United States policy to-
ward them is one of cooperation and
mutual understanding.
He was pleased with Cubas over
whelming reception to him, and
and gratified officially at the OPP
portunity to help create at Ha-
vana an atmosphere which he
hopes will dispel certain Pan
American apprehensions as to the
United States motives and policies.
Mr.. Coolidge's associates were
hopeful that his contacts in Cuba
may have the effect of furthering
the improvement in inter American
relations, promoting the work done
by Ambassador Morrow's good
fellowship" policy in Mexico, and
Charles Lindbergh's dazzling air
journeys in Latin-America.
Enjoys His Trip
The Presidents trip benefited him
considerably. His spirit were high
last night and this morning follow
ing brief touch Of seasick aeSS on
the return sea journey on the
cruiser Memphis from Havana to
Key West.
He viewed moving picture on
the train last night, his favorite
diversion.
Mr.. Coolidge gave some OF his
friends on the train gifts Of Pc
paya melons, Cuban fruit contain
ing some pepsin. with the sugges-
ton that it might be needed as a
result Of over-indulgence in the de-
licious food of the Cuban ban
quets.
