ANNEXATION OF
ENTIRE COUNTY
BY CITY URGED
Greater Economy Would Be
Effected by Action,
Engineer Says.
BY EDWIN v. O'NEEL

Extension of the city corporate
limits to include all Marion county,
to enable the municipality to con-
etruct sewers. streets and side
walks for outlying territory, which
is being developed constantly, was
recommended today by City Engi-
neer A H. Moore.
If the city absorbed all Of Marion
county now outside Of the city limits,
the county government could be
abandoned, centralizing all govern
mental authority in city hall, Moore
pointed out. Many students OF
government and public officials feel
that this move would result in econ
onay.
AFTER the city is extended to in
clude the entire county the city
should seek an independent charter
so that it can operate with special
acts of the legislature" Moore said.
1--WE need to make public i'm
provements the modern way instead
of acting under laws thirty and
forty years DID," he declared, in
