IN BEN DAVIS
Petitions are Circulated in

New Building.

Combined parent-teacher organ

have started circulation of petitions
to Vestal Davis, Wayne township

Struction plan
The Ben Davis school for two
years has been crowded to a point
regarded by state officials as detri-
mental and the situation steadily
has been growing worse due to the
heavy and rapid increase in new
homes between the Indianapolis city
limits and Ben Davis.
Raise Population Limit
The township bonded indebted
ness limit will premit erection of a
modern building large enough to
care for the present school popula-
ton and meet certain increase of
the next few years.
So civic leaders got through the
legislature an amendment raising
the population limit for townships
permitted to contract with holding
to building school buildings from
1000 to $500. This would bring
Wayne township in. 1t was slightly
over the 1000 mark.
The Ben Davis, Garden City and
Fleming Gardens parent-teacher as
sOciationS are those circulating the
petitions.
Although only fifty signatures are
needed to induce the township
trustee TO take action under the
holding corporation plan the civic
leaders plan 10 see every important

Reconnaissance Is Feared
It is not believed that there will
be a TemOnstrance i'll view of the
dire need for the better school

Definite plans have not been
made, leading citizens of Wayne
township believe at least 100000

FALSE CLUE GIVEN
IN LASSITER CASE
Anonymous Letter, Giving Loca-
ton of Man Who Kidnapped
Policeman, Proves Fake.

Information contained in an anony-
nous letter received by Inspector Ernest
R. Brown as to the location of the man
who Wednesday night kidnapped Traffic
Policeman Carl LasSiter from his post of
duty at Ninth and F streets, was found
to be false last night, when Headquar-
tiers Detective Dennis Cullinane went to
the place named to arrest him.
The letter mentioned certain apart
ment house near Dupont Circle. No
one answering the description given by
Lassiter was found there.
The detective expressed the opinion
this morning that the letter was merely
a ruse perpetrated by the kidnaper to
throw police off his trail. The letter
could have been written, Cullinane
pointed out, to induce the police to
lessen their search of other portions of
the city and concentrate all their ac-
tivities on the location given in the
letter as the mans home.
