REDUCTION IN
LIGHT, WATER
BILLS URGED
City Councilman Asks
Steps to Cut Heavy Items
in Budget.

The city was urged to take steps
to obtain lower electric light and
water bills today by John F. White,
city councilman and south side civic
leader.
The city budget for 1890 calls for
$4,000 for fire protection, the In
dianapolis Water Company receiv-
ing the money for water mains and
fire hydrants. Other water items
are charged separately.
It was pointed out at the council
finance committee budget hearing
the fire protection bill is larger than
the bill for city street lighting.
Street lighting cost for 1880 is es-
timated at $384,OOO.
IN all probability the city could
obtain reductions in water and light
rates. I think the entire council
would be pleased to see the city OBJ
tain reductions If possible" White
said
Mayor L. Ert Slack conferred
with Indianapolis Power and Light
Company engineers relative to the
excess cable charge" which
amounts to about $4,000 annually.
Slack asked data as to light rates
and provisions for excess cable rates
in other cities.
Works board records show the wa
ter main and hydrant charge is
jumping about $1,000 a quarter. The
$4,000 requested for 1880 was esti-
mated on the basis of present bills.
The first quarter for this year was
S1O5,OO0 and 100000 for the second
quarter.
It was estimated the 1880 ex-
penditures will be 100000, $4,000,
$111,OOO and $4,000 for the various
periods
City Engineer A. H. Moore ex-
pressed fear over the reduction from
$4,000 to $4,000, declaring it will
block street development projects.
No pew streets can be laid without
water mains and hydrants, Moore
pointed out. There probably will be
a deficit next year if the street i'm
provement program is continued in
new sections of the city. Water,

New Lock Cuts Down
Number of House KevS

The annoyance of having to
carry several house keys has been
removed. No longer is it neces-
sary to have separate keys for
the front door, the rear entrance,
the garage, and storage rooms.
A manufacturer of cylinder
locks has put on the market a
lock claimed to give more changes
in the pin-tumbler lock than any
other type. The variation of
cylinders is three one-thouSandths
of an inch.
Combinations may be so ar
ranged that one key will unlock
the front and rear doors. another
the garage and rear door. an
other just the rear door and so
on, so that each member of the
household will have one key
meeting that members need. The
use of the master key may also
be carried to the doors within
the house, thus greatly reducing
the number of keys to be kept
track of and, at the same time,
providing an equal protection.

aided by easy money which came
from some sources more inter
ested in return than security.
However, the conditions resulting
from these factors have been cor
rected.
For a period of more than
two years legitimate operators
have been estimating their pro-
duction in keeping with demand
and Washington has thus gradu-
ally absorbed the overSupply of
housing. Thus we find the build.
ing situation in Washington TO-
day approximately in a normal
condition. Likewise there has
been little unsound financing
during the same period and that
which occurred previously has to
a large extent been adjusted to a
more proper basis"
In concluding, Petty said,
Washington. the Capital of the
Nation, will always enjoy relatively
the same confidence reposed in
the nation and it must surely
grow as the nation grows. These
factors are assuring alike to the
general business interests of
Washington as well as home own
ers and investors in Washington
real estate and real estate Securi-
ties. They also form a sound
basis for confidence in the future
of the Capital City"
