BEDFORD, Ind, June 21.-The

With a record number of editors

of persons who gathered on hotel
verandas and behind closed doors.
Addresses, a luncheon and other
entertainment, including a trip to
Bedford's stone mills, were to close
the last days program.

CREEK PROJECT
COMPLETED At
$4,000 COST
Four Years Spent in Work
on Wildcat Stream
at Kokomo.
BIZ Times Spccial

By Times Special
KOKOMO, Ind, June 22.-After
four years work, expenditure Of
100000, struggle at times to get
funds, and political wrangles the
Wildcat creek improvement project
here is complete.
Instead of a crooked, sluggish
stream, breeding place of mos
quitoeS and foul odors, there is now
a fairly straight, deep and clean
stretch of water.
With completion of the work, the
city Of Kokomo will sell the Jimmie
Willis, a dredge which has been in
use throughout the operations. 1t
was named for James Willis, mayor
in 1925, and Willis B. Dye of the
Thomas j. Dye Lumber Company,
which built the boat.
Actual work on the project was
started in the spring Of 1925, with
an appropriation of $4,000. Most
of this was spent in preliminary
work. Dredging was started near
the plant of the Pittsburgh Plate
Glass Company. That was strongly
opposed in some quarters. Then the
money ran out. An additional 5000
was appropriated and quickly spent.
Next the project got into politics
during a city campaign year The
city council refused to permit fur
ther expenditure, but with victory
of the Spurgeon forces, more money
was allowed and the work proceeded.
The first attempt to improve the
creek was made in 1916, when Ko-
komo was tiny settlement and
Howard county but two years old
The state legislature passed an act
for formation of the Wildcat Navi-
cation Company, to improve the
streams as a connection with the
Wabash and Erie canal, but the
work was not carried out.
During The 1913 flood, the worst
in Indiana's history, the creek over
flowed, water filling several homes.
