Trustees Take SideStep

Indiana township trustees by
resolution today sidestepped the re-
sponsibility of asking special ses-
sion of the legislature to relieve the
bankrupt conditions of southern In
diana schools.
At the same time, the trustees
stressed necessity for immediate
action to relieve the situation and
delegated their officers to attend the
meeting of county superintendent
at Shoals, Ind, Friday.
The officers were empowered to
give moral support as would be
beneficial mutually to state aid
schools.
Because of the storm of criticism
directed at the trustees for their ex-
penditures, they confessed that 1t
would be unwise for them to ask for
a special SESSION and said: I'VE will
leave it up to Shoals conference to
take this STEP"
Other resolutions asked that
committee be appointed TO draft a
plan for the leasing Of schools from
holding companies. This step was
taken, the resolution explained, be-
cause of a recent supreme court de-
cision adverse to holding compa-
MES.
Under the holding law. passed by
the 1927 legislature, companies may
be formed to construct schoolhouses
for communities unable to finance
such program and when the bonds
are paid through rentals. the schools
become the property Of the COM
munity.
Use of Indiana coal was Endorsed
and the trustees declared opposition

John E. Minor, president of the

charged the city recreation depart

exploitation"
Lies recommended the park board
appoint non-partisan board of
representatives of Butler university,
Normal College of the North Amer
lean Gymnastic Union, and Teach
erS' College of Indianapolis, to eX-
anime recreation employees for the
coming year. Lies urged competitive
examinations and selection on the
basis of their fitness instead of for
political work.
Lies should have come before the
board and said what he wanted to,
rather than criticize the boards

familiar with that particular sub
ject," Minor said. IT think he is
a good theory man, but probably
lacking in practical experience. You
can read how to put together a
watch, but when you start to do it,
it's another problem" Minor said.
Minor commended matronS on

from Butler and other institutions, ;"
he said. "It is difficult to obtain
enough competent employees for
three months at $50 a month. Our
employees who are with us the year
around always are more capable.
"It hardly would be fair to citizens
of Indianapolis to select all employees
from college people, many of whom
do not reside here. Naturally, we
could do much better with three
times as much money, which Lies
suggested" Minor declared.

SULLIVAN MAY
CALL Meeting
ContempIates Conference of
New City Officials.

An early conference of all mem
bers of the Democratic ticket in the
lasc election was contemplated today
to discuss problems on the admin
stration of Mayor elect Reginald H
Sullivan, which will take over city
hall, Jan. 6.
Sullivan is expeced to call Henry
Goett, city clerk-elect, and the DEM
ocratic councilmen to 60 over ap-
pointments and other matters. The
meeting probably will be held the
first of next week. Kirk Mckinney,
city Democratic chairman, who has
been in frequent conferences with
Sullivan relative to the setup in the
new administration, will attend.
1t is understood, Sullivan plans to
give city hall distinct Democratic
complexion after he gets in Office,
although he will proceed slowly in
filling key positions. Mayor L. Ert
Slack, also a Democrat, retained
many Republicans, giving his adj
ministration a nonpartiSan tinge.
ST was elected as a Democrat and
of course I want my administration
to be a Democratic one" Sullivan
said.
