for burning Of the present asphalt
surface on the outside strips and
building il up to q. level Of
the center pavement. Property own
ers petitioned for a, concrete pave
ment. but City Engineer Moore
recommended that it was "iln-
practical from an engineering stand
point to use concrete"
Moore said he will recommend
an asphaltic concrete center which
costs about $4,000 more than con-
crete. Moore explained that the
proposal TO lay four-inch concrete
top on the strips, removing the
present asphalt surface, was not
advisable, because the present base
is irregular and it would not make
use of the present asphalt top.
Moore admitted that there was no
chance for concrete" on the outer
strips under the specifications.
Sidewalks will be constructed after
the street is graded. Moore promised.
Property owners petitioned for side
walks last March.

FLOOD WORK IN
1880 UNLIKELY
City Near Limit Of Bonding
Under Small Levy

Smith, Remster, Hornbrook and
Smith, bond attorneys, today adj
vised City Controller Sterling R.
Holt any food prevention bond is
sue next year will be disapproved
by the bond law firm if the flood
prevention tax levy is not raised to
8 cents.
The opinion pointed out the city
practically has absorbed all of the
bonding power under the Is cent
rate for 1929 and it will be necessary
to boost the levy if the city expects
to issue further flood prevention
bonds in 1880.
The Slack administration asked
a 2.5 cent levy of council. City
Engineer A. H. Moore said no ma
jor food prevention projects are
contemplated next year. The only
would be the widening of Fall
creek from Meridian to College
avenue, which would cost about
$4,000. The Fall creek proposal
is not urgent, Moore said.

Reeheck of Tax Duplicate
to Allow Cost of
Paving.

The board of works will proceed
with the improvement Of English
avenue between Southeastern ave-
nue. and Brookville road, since. a re-
check of the tax duplicate shows
the valuation of property will per-
nit the assessment, City Engineer
A. H. Moore said today.
The city's plan to pave the eight
een-foot center strip which has
been needed in the southeast sec
ton for several years has been
tied up temporarily by litigation.
The court decided in favor Of the
city, holding the resolution legal.
It was found that the contract price
of $4,000 for the improvement was
more than so per cent of $4,000,
estimated appraised value of prop
erty.
The law prohibits an improvement
costing more than so per cent of
the appraised value of property
along the street.
Low Bidder Reports Error
Moore ordered the appraised
value rechecked after j. N. Nor
gan, low bidder, reported an error
of about $4,000 III the estimate Of
Sherman Hendricks, assistant en-
gineer, who made up the resolu-
ton.
Moore showed that a recheck
showed the property value will be
sufficient to stand the cost" Chris
tian park property will be included
in the appraised value on advice Of
the legal department. The new ap-
praised value is $201, 900.
Morgan is not in the group of
contractors who were reported to
have bought out the Marion Coun-

a bone of contention" among ma

Whereas ordinary country folk
meet in rural districts every suW-

gentlemen and ladies of wealth
foregsther here from all parts OF
America to see the nations best

While the usual racetrack throng
always is present, there is no mis-
taking the aristocracy of Saratoga's

gates may have been crashed until
the traditional 400" is nearer 1000,

Love for Horses Unborn
MANY who own famous racing
stables inherited their love of horses
from their fathers or grandfathers,
who raced their own high-sterpers
at Saratoga before the Civil war.
Illustrating Saratoga's fine old
spirit Of courtliness and courtesy is
a recent gesture of respect one
member paid his trainer-in-chief.
Harry Payne Whitney's Which-One
and Prometheus we're favoriteS this
year for the United States Hotel
Stakes, which carries a $4,000
purse. On the eve Of the race came
the death of James Rowe Sr., vet
eran trainer of winners since 1870.
Flags we're put at half-maSt and
the Whitney horses we're withdrawn
from the race they had been train
ing a year to win.
Money flows like water at this
millionaire's Playground. Five mil
lion dollars worth of horses will be
put on the block for auction. Last
year Mrs. Ambrose Clark got $25 900
for a single horse, Milkman.
Comes Into Own in August
Saratoga sleeps eleven months Of
the year, then comes to life for
these August races. The huge, Vine
clad club house at the crack, with
it's three tiers of open-air restau-
rants, imports its steward and entire
staff for this single month. The
field of the most beautiful
track in America" is Handicapped into
lake with swans and red canoes
and multi-colored foliage for August
only.
The historic United States and
Grand Union hotels, huge wooden
structures running around a whole
block, with garden courts inside,
open their hundreds Of rooms for
four weeks of a year. Palatial lake
resorts, Riley's Arrowhead, Lido
Venice and others take down their
shutters only in August. Railroad
sidings are crowded with private
cars; Rolls Royces and diStin-
guished foreign motor cars out
