BUS FARE CUT
FIGHT MAPPED
Civic Clubs Plan to Take
Petition to State Group.

Appeal to the public service COM
mission for bus fare cut today was
being mapped by the indianapolis
Federation of Community Civic
Clubs utilities committee, following
refusal of street railway officials
voluntarily to reduce the fare.
The committee was told by COM
pany officials that stock, sold to pay
Improvement costs, must show re-
turns before the fare can be re-
duced. Lowering the 10-cent bus
fare to the same level as street car
fare had been sought.
Charles w. Chase, president of
the reorganized company, told Ed
ward j. Hecker ST., committee
chairman, that the average cost of
carrying bus passenger in 1881
was GA cents, the bus division fail
ing to earn operating expenses
when depreciation, interest and
taxes are considered.
Samuel Harrig, East New York
Street League president, scored the
public service commission for
authorizing sale of $1,000 900 worth
Of securities on properties that sold
a. receivers sale for $2,600000.
Chase insisted that only $7,977 900
had been authorized. He declared
bus fares here are On a par with
most cities of comparable size and
street car fare is below the average
in similar cities.
When Chase asserted bus fare re-
auctions would be a blow to
struggling company" Harrig asked:
But what about the struggling
bus riders? Many earn less than
$40 a week and have to pay out
$3.50 week for bus fares"

FOES FIGHT TO WRECK
TRUCK, BUS TAX BILL
Railroad Written Message May Be
Left as Nothing But Title.

Having succeeded in partially
manning the railroad-written house
bill. 701 which is designed to make
every truck operating over state
highways a public utility, opponents
of the measure today prepared for
another onslaught which will leave
the bill nothing but a title.
Proponents of the bill admitted
that it is designed to put the trucks
and BUSES out of business to aid
railroads.
AS amended the bill excludes the
privately owned truck or carrier, but
carrie l mill ton-mile tax on
vehicles operated for hire and places
them under public service control.

Clean Pools
Water in City Bathing
Spots Is Renovated
Every s Hours.

WITH an average of more
w than 71,o00 persons SWIM
ming in seven city pools each
week. problems of sanitation hold
a high place in the councils of the
city recreation department.
The problem is solved easily at
Mcclure and Warfleigh beaches.
which are on White river. All
others. however, are artificial
pools. and must be filled with city
water, which is purified and re-
purified
AT each of these pools is an
electric pump and sand filter,
through which the water con-
stantly is being forced.
VXTATER is pumped from the
w pool into the filter by the
pump. There it first meets a thin
layer of alum which gathers all
microscopic sediment into jelly
like mass. This prevents this fine
dirt from seeping through the lay
ers of sand.
The water then is forced into a
layer of very fine sand. From
there it goes through successfully
coarser layers until at the bottom
it is running over gravel.
AS the water leaves the sand
filter il is brought into contact
with chlorine, which kills all
germs in the water.
Water thus cleansed is ready for
the pool again.
Filters are kept working twenty
three hours a day. The twenty
fourth hour is used in flushing the
filter. City water is forced through
the sand in the opposite direction.
This process forces dirt out of the
filter.
VXTATER in the pools IS
w cleaned every eight hours.
Since every pool holds more than
100000 gallons, this means that
the filters must take care of APP
proximately fifty gallons a sec
ond.
Checking of the pools for clean
illness is carried on by the state
board of health and the city board
of health. The tests are made
frequently.
The city board has assigned one
man who does nothing else but
take tests of pools in the city.

the immigration law that would give
alien husbands of American citizens
nen-quota, or at least a preferential
status.
1t seems that there are about 300
American women married to alien nus
bands who have been denied admission
to this country on the ground that they
are likely to become public charges.
Some time ago, it was explained at
the LABOR Department today, all OF the
women filed affi6avits saying that they
were employed and that they had saw
ings which ranged from the lowest
figure of $500 to the highest figure Of
$4,000. and that, therefore. their hus-
bands would not become public charges
When the applications were made by
these American wives for the admis-
sion of their husbands. the American
consuls abroad it was said, again re-
fused visas on the ground that was al
ready given.
When these women married" Mrs.
Baker informed Secretary Doak, "they
had no idea that they would be required
to show the possession Of so much
money. If the rules of the game had
not been changed on these women in
the latter part Of $780, all of these
husbands would have been admitted. 1t
is because of total change in the in
depreciation of the rules governing those
likely to become public charges that
these husbands are detained. If they
were Judged by the 1929 standard, all
these husbands would be here"
Mr.. Doak was asked by the delega-
ton if he could find his way clear to
give his sympathetic support to the plea.
He referred them to the House Immi-
grafton Committee.
