MEURER AGAIN
GIVEN STICKER
ReneWs War Against City
Parking Restrictions.

Albert F. Meurer, former city
councilman who is fighting the
loading zone provisions of the city
traffic code, today possessed his Sec
ond police sticker within a week
on charge Of parking his auto
mobile in the restricted downtown
parking area.
Meurer received the sticker after
he parked in the space in front of
the Occidental building, Illinois and
Washington street, between 2
"shanty' of the Indianapolis Street
Railway Company and a fire plug
about forty feet east of the shelter.
The entire area is marked off
from the Illinois street curb to the
required ten feet east of the fire
plug.
Despite this fact, a Chevrolet
coupe, owned by the street car
company and operated by COM
pany official is parked there, in
some instances, for hours. A Times
reporter and Meurer have seen the
car there several times.
Meurer now has a case pending
in municipal court three as result
of his refusal to pay 81 fine on a
sticker he received last week for
restricted parking.

PLEA FOR CITY

Committee to Recommend
Program to Abolish
Portable Schools.
NEW BUILDINGS ASKED
Report Advocates Removal
of 1900 Children From
Old Structures.

With 7 per cent of city grade
school children housed in made
quate portables. some of which are
fourteen years cid. school build
ing committee members we're to rec
ommend to the board tonight a
building program which would re-
move 1900 children from the tenn
pOrary structures
Report of the committee was
drawn after a thorough check OF the
school situation and carried the
plea for relief in grade schools
rather than construction of new
high school in IrvingtOn.
Facts before the committee con-
vince lis that children attending
portable schools should have first
consideration in the matter of new
buildings" the report stated.
Three Buildings Asked
Program of 1929 provided for
a bond issue of SIPS 900, in which
was included 100000 for construc-
ton of a high school in Irvington.
It seems to your committee, build
ing Of that high school necessarily
must wait until the pressing needs
Of elementary schools can be pro
vided for and until there is, by in
creased tax levy or by increased
valuation of taxable property, in IN
dianapolis, an improvement in
financial resources"
In view of these facts the COM
mittee recommended:
l. Erection Of a twelve-claSSroom
building at Thirtieth street and
Keystone avenue to be known as
school No g.
?. Erection of an eight-room adj
dition to school No. 80, Morris and
Kappes streets.
8. Consolidation of school dis
tricts served by schools Nos. II, at
COZ South Sherman drive, and 81 at
Emerson and English avenues.
4. Erection of a new siXteen-room
structure in Christian park, on Eng
fish avenue. between Sherman drive
and Emerson avenue.
Would Save S125,0OO
Report stated consolidation OF
these districts and the erection Of
one school would save S125,0 900.
Erection of the school in Chris
tan park has been the basis for
meetings in the vicinity, but OPP
position to purchase of a site in
the park, which can be bought from
the park board, has decreased in the
last few weeks. school officials said.
The committee recognizes there
are other schools in which there are
pressing needs that should be met, %
the report continued. In some
cases the needs are as serious as
the conditions stated here.

facilities and will do away with
