COURT LEGALITY
Attorneys Deny Appellate
Division Exists.

The very existence of the Ap-
pellate Court. one Of the most i'm
portant branches of the State
judiciary, since 1901, was denied by
attorneys in a hearing before
Supreme Court today.
The attorneys also attacked the
practice of Appellate Court hand
ing down per curiam' or whole
court decisions without briefs set
ting forth why such decisions were
rendered.
Six petitions for reverSals of
Appellate Court decisions, based on
the contention the court does not
exist, were argued.

Section 26 thereof provided that
existence of this court shall be six

This section was repealed in 1897
and Section 3 of the repeal act de-
clared that existence Of the court
shall be four years
"This section again was amended
in 1899 and the amendment pro-
vided that the period of existence
of the court shall be six years

new SCHOOL BIDS UP
Tax Board Expected to
Issue Order Today.

The State tax board is expected
to issue an order late today author
izing the Indianapolis school board
to receive bids on the proposed ad-
dition to four school buildings.
These bids will be checked by the
tax board to see whether the lowest
and best figures have been received
and whether bidding on the heat
ing and ventilating installations
have been open and competitive. If
these requirements are met. the
board will authorize the issuance of
a 100000 bond issue to defray the
building costs.
The reservations were prompted
by the tax board announcement at
a hearing two weeks ago that there
had been no competition in award
ing the heating and ventilating
contracts for local school buildings
and that it was evident that the
G. G. Ship Company had been the
recipient of the contracts. If such
conditions continued to exist, the
bond issue would not be authorized,
the board warned.
