PROPOSAL FOR
SCRAPPINC CAR
Line OPPOSED
Hearing Tuesday on Peti-
hon to End Indianapolis
to-RiChmond Service.
By Times Special

Sy Times Special
RICHMOND, Ind, March 21.-
Considerable opposition is expected
from residents Of this section of
the state to the proposal of the
Terre Haute, Indianapolis 81 East
tern Traction Company to abandon
the Indianapolis-F sichmond inter-
urban car service. Hearing on the
petition will be held Tuesday in
the offices of the public service COM
mission at Indianapolis, and it is
expected that a number of petitions
will be presented asking that the
service be retained.
The city government here, it is
understood, does not plan any ac-
ton in regard to the matter, and it
is improbable that any Richmond
organizations will be represented at
the hearing.
Local merchants do not view the
change with any apprehension, as
bus service is maintained and COM
munities using Richmond as trad
ing center do not patronize the
traction line to any great extent.
Some of the smaller communities
of the section, however, among them
Cambridge City, Centerville, Dun
reith and Knightstown, are under
stood to be preparing petitions.
There has been considerable
speculation here as to the probable
fate OF the street railway, which is
controlled by the same receiver, but
since this line has been operating at
q profit for several years it is I'M
likely that it will be abandoned
Current for the operation of the
city street railway has been fur
nisfed to the traction company by
the municipal light plant and reve-
nue. from this source last year was
approximately $4,000.
officials of the Dayton Western
railroad, which operates the Rich
mond to Dayton electric line, stated
that the abandonment of the Indi-
annapolis line will not affect their
service.

so deep seated that they cannot be
reached-this often means that the tax
ers Of drugs for relief only are dis
abled for life.
If every person who is afflicted with
rheumatic manifestations would start
at once to get the uric acid out Of the
olood-it would perhaps mean the
avoidance Of crippled joints in years
to come.
This can be done by taking one table
spoonful Of Allenru three times day
Allenru acts on the blood and drives
from it the uric acid that causes your
rheumatic agony, and does it in As
hours.
You can get a generous bottle Of Al
lenru at Hooks Dependable Drug Stores
or any progressive druggist for IS
cents-take it with every assurance
that 1t is real enemy Of uric acid
and Of rheumatic conditions-and bear
in mind. If it doesnt do as advertised
money back. Allenru is just as good
for sciatica.-Advertisem

theater venture promoted by Gold
sels apd Joseph NJ. Cosco, Detroit
When Che enterprise collapsed and
the Detroit men had fled there was
