NEW ENGINEER ON JOB

Plant Is Nuisance, Says
Barton.

F:::-:-c:@~ installing heating apparatus
were ordered today to renew smoke
bonds as a step in the city-wide
smoke abatement campaign being
waged by the building department.
Only about half of the 200 plum
bers and heating firms who install
plants have obtained $4,000 bonds
required under the city building
code, which provides that the con-
tractors bond can be forfeited if it
is discovered within a year that the
specifications are not in conform
ity with the anti-smoke ordinance
or the plant has been installed i'm
properly.
Building Commissioner William
F. Hurd has ordered Fred Barton,
new combustion engineer, to check
carefully ali permits and plans for
new heating apparatus. Hurd said
the department is Tightening down"
and demanding that complete plans
be submitted, to insure conformity
with the building code regulations.
The first task of Barton after re-
ceiving the appointment, Feb. /, was
to check the city hall heating Sys-
TEN to determine the cause of ex-
cess smoke. The plant has been in
spected and an analysis made of the
coal to determine whether the plant
smoke is due to improper firing
methods or faulty equipment.
The engineer declared the Six
tenth street heating plant of the
indianapolis Power and Light Com
pany, is a smoke nuisance in the
vicinity of Sixteenth and Alabama
streets.
The company has petition to
abandon the plant before the public
service commission.

SIFT FIRE Peril
AT CITY MARKET
Board of Public Works Is
Asked to Investigate.

Mayor L. Ert Slacl; today asked
the board of public works to in
vestigate the "fire hazard" at Tom
linson hall and city market.
Slack said he desired that the
board decide whether additional
fire protection is needed in the city
building.
Paul @. Richey, Chamber of
Commerce, wrote Slack, offering to
cooperate with the works board in
providing a sprinkler system to
climb ate the fire hazard.
The National Board of Fire I'm
derwriters in 1927 cited four flocks
in the high value area which have
fire hazards and included the Tom
linson hall block, north of Market
street, between Delaware and Ala
bama streets, Richey pointed out.
Richey urged that proper steps be
taken to safeguard life and property
in the city property.
Theodore H. Damrneyer, works
board president, said The board is
investigating to determine whether
the cost of an inside sprinkler sys-

DIOSIGNAL SYSTEM TO
SPEED UP POLICE WORK
Times and Club Members
Aid in Installation of
Warning Sets.

Through cooperation of the IN
dianapolis Radio Club and John
Hawkins Of the indianapolis Times
staff, a radio signal system between
police headquarters and police squad
cars is being developed that is ex-
pected to add greatly to the effici-
ency of the department. in the way
of rapid communication.
Present plans are for installation
of a radio tranSmitter at police
headquarters, working on a short
wave length, between 80 and 100
meters, and a receiving set in each
of the squad cars to be used in the
system.
The transmitter will be like the
ordinary radio telegraph transmit
ting set of about 100 watts output.
The difference lies in design of the
receivers. In place of head phones
or s~caker, the receiving equipment
will be used to operate a neon glow
tube, which will flash brilliant red
light when the receiver picks up the
signal from headquarters.
When the switch is thrown on
the transmitter at the central sta
ton, the red bulb in all the cars
will light up, which will be the sig
nal for all suqads to get in touch
with headquarters Immediately for
instructions.
This system was decided upon as
the simplest way of direct commu-
nication. Voice transmission is be-
ing used in some cities between po-
lice cars and headquarters, but
trouble is much more likely to de-
velop from this system than from
the signal method.
