new BUILDING
DEMANDED FOR
RIPPLE SCHOOL
Situation Branded worst in
City by Inspection
Committee.

Patrons today renewed demands
that a new building be erected to
replace hazardous housing and out
of-date facilities at Broad Ripple
high school following an inspection
by school officials Tuesday.
The demand is based on two
points. mainly that the Broad Rip
pie situation is the worst in the
city school system" and that in
creased enrollments are overcrowi.
ing high schools on the north tide.
An investigation by The Times
has disclosed that, in addition to
being a flretrap, lnenacing the lives
of $50 pupils, other building features
in the present two structures at
Broad Ripple need immediate atten-
ton.
Buildings Not Safe
In the main building, erected in
1913, a balcony in the auditorium
can not be used because it has been
condemned as unsafe by William
Hurd, city building commissioner.
A steel tie beam, which the original
plans called for to support the bal
cony, is missing, Hurd found.
Both the main building and a
decrepit two-story, former township
structure are neither sufficient nor
safe for the present student-body
Of 800. According to K. V. Ammer-
man, principal, enrolment would
be increased to 1900 pupils, who
live in the vicinity of Broad Ripple,
if proper facilities were available.
The old township structure was
built in 1870, and is a combination
of wood, shingle roof. hot air fur
mace and single open stairway
forming severe life and fire hazards
to pupils, a survey has disclosed.
Stairway Oil Soaked
A single wooden stairway that is
oil-soaked is the worst fire hazard il
the old building known as East
hall. This structure is heated with
wood CRATES, installed in 1894, which
fill the rooms with coal gas during
class recitations. according to Am
hermann.
Patrons at Broad Ripple poin'
out that erection of a new building
at this time would relieve over
crowded conditions at Shortridge
attended by many pupils living nea,
Broad Ripple, because of poo.
facilities at the latter school.
Shortridge, built for about 3,00t
pupils, has an enrolment of mort
than $500 this semester.
Paul G. Stetson, superintendent
of schools, head of the committe,
which inspected the Broad Ripple
situation Monday, will report a
the next school board meeting, Fet
10. A new building may be recon
mended, it is reported.

SEEK TO FORCE
DOWN REVISION
OF WAR DEBTS
Europe's Statesmen See
Move Necessary to End
World Depression.
BY WEBB MILLER
United Press STAFF Correspondent

LONDON, Feb. ga general
movement toward downward revi-
sion Of European war debts or a
moratorium of perhaps ten years
rapidly was gaining impetus today.
Pressure from the world economic
and unemployment crises, to eco
nonaic experts, will force a definite
emergence of the movement. which
entails readjustment of German
reparations payments, into the open
within the next few days.
The conviction is growing among
f1nanciers and statesmen of Europe
that the entire postwar economic
and financial structure which was
crystallized In the treaty of YER
sailles and the Dawes and Young
plans, and upon which Europe's
financial equilibrium is based, re-
quires overhauling and alteration
before the world can emerge from
the present economic depression.
Economists Study Problem
Several members of parliament
are planning to open campaign in
the house of commons soon propos-
ing a ten-year moratorium on war
debts or an international conference
for debt reduction.
Among suggestions being dis
cussed unofficially by f1nanciers and
economists, of which several will be
preached in European parliaments
soon, are the following:
/. An international conference
on war debts and reparationS.
2. A ten-year moratorium on
war debts and reparations.
3. An international conference
regarding the dislocation of the
gold standard, the gold shortage
and gold congestion in America
and France.
4. A unified economic council,
similar to a wartime unified
command.
5. A conference Of central
banks, including the United
States, England and France, to
readjust the worlds currency ar
rangements in relation to the
present gold shortage and the
concentration Of gold in the
United States and France.
Aimed at United States
Demand for reduction of wal
debts and reparations is based on
the argument that an increase in
the value of gold and a decrease in
commodity prices is resulting il,
Europe paying more in real value
than the original agreements stipu-
lated, making continued payments
difficult.
1t further is argued that the high
tariff wall and overproduction in
the United States is preventing the
payment of war debts with goods
resulting in drainage of gold to
America.

equal shares. One share is to go

Whatever the steamship companies

asking a ride across the Atlantic,
argues that If it would be novelty Tor

much more notable for two!
Nor are the men holding back; A lot
of them want to go, too. But MISS
