Tear Out Wooden Blocks on
Central Avenue for
Paving.

With four major projects under
way, Indianapolis streets today were
undergoing face fittings that will
meet with approval from local mo-
toristS
Under direction of the works
board, contractors and laborers have
started work on Central avenue,
from Thirty-fourth and Thirty
eighth streets; Thirty eighth street,
from Orchard avenue to Rural
street, from Orchard avenue to
Rural street bridge over Fall creek,
and resurfacing of the center of
West Michigan street, from the P.
& E. tracks to Tibbs avenue.
Purpose of the bridge and Thirty
eighth street improvements is to re-
lieve the traffic congestion on
Massachusetts, avenue, which is road
81.
Out Go Wooden Blocks
The board decided on the two
improvements rather than widening
of Massachusetts avenue because
the latter would cost more than
$1,OO0OO0.
The Central avenue resurfacing
will do away with the jittery effect
the wooden blocks had on automo-
biles and make the avenue again
a pleasant driving thoroughfare. In
addition to their ordinary bumpi-
ness, the bricks, in wet or hot
weather, had the habit of leaping
skyward.
The West Michigan project re-
suits from removal of the street car
tracks for use of trackless trolleys
on the line.
City Pays IS Per Cent
Seventy-five per cent of each i'm
provement is being paid by the city
out of gasoline tax funds. The pro-
gram has resulted in employment
of scores of men.
Remaining on the list of street
projects is widening of East New
York street, from Highland avenue
to Noble street, last link in the
chain to open New York street as a
fast traffic lane from downtown to
Irvington. This is expected to be
started the latter part of the month
Another action pending is the i'm
provement of South Meridian street,
from South street to Adler avenue.
The street car tracks also are Sched-
ulel for removal in this area.

Tax Reduction Is
Best Aid to Relief
Well Known Wisconsin Farmer
Says Lower Levies Would
Help Agriculture

"My idea of farm relief just now
is the reducing of taxes" writes a
farmer from Wisconsin to the State
Taxpayers Association. He says:
eff I live another 81 years on
my farm with the same rate of tax
alton as has been for the past 20
years, I will have paid the govern
|ment around IT or Is thousand dol
lars, approximately the value OF the
farm. If you would fully realize
the condition of the average farm
er in the state, you would say it is
pitiful to see the farmer dragged
down through improper legislation
during the past 20 years to a
point where, even If he himself
does hold his farm home, his chill
dren can never hope to be f1nanci-
ally able to take over their faith
er's farm.
IT should like to ask why would
it not be possible to tax farm land
a certain amount per acre accord
ing to production value regardless
of its improvements. Such meth
cd Of taxation would once and for
all put a limit on this death deal
ing burden that has dragged the
nation down to its present deplor-
able condition"

Bids On The
Sewage Plant
AreHeld!Up
If Plans Are Approved Work
Will Be Under Federal
Supervision
A NEW BOND ELECTION
Reduced Tax Levy Will Not
Permit State to Loan
Money Required

The proposed sewage disposal
plant for which the City Council
opened sealed bids Friday after
noon Of last week at the City Hall,
is causing the City Dads many
serious moments. .. f.
The proposal set up by the Coun-
Gil called for bids Of two types.
A-was to construct the plant
under the regulations set up by the
Federal Government for which the
minimum scale was to be so cents
per hour.
B-would permit the hiring Of
common labor at a lower hourly
wage scale.
When the City Council decided
to construct the sewage disposal
plant this year the paramount idea
was to furnish the unemployed of
the city with work which would
carry them through the winter,
thus making many families self
sustaining who might otherwise be
forced to ask the city for help. The
Council figured, and rightly, that
the average man would much pre-
fer earning money to support his
family than have them become
charity charges.
There was some doubt about the
Federal step-up which would re-
fund to the city 80 per cent Of the
cost Of labor and materials, be-
cause of the wording Of the law
which gave ex-service men first
call. There are not many ex-ser-
vice men in the city with families.
The City authorities had assur-
ance from Mr.. Hollenbeck, head of
the Federal Labor department that
the City would be permitted to use
labor residing in Sank Centre only.
Monday Mayor w. E. DeLaurier,
Alderman Fred Walker, Ralph
Steffes, John Mondloch and Jos.
Rogers, and City Attorney l.. L.
Kells went to st. Paul and inter-
viewed Mr.. Hollenbeck and other
Federal and State officials.
They found that Mr.. Hollenbeck
had received an order from Wash
ington directing the employment
Of all labor on Federal assisted pro-
jects be taken from within the po-
litical subdivision by which the
project Is being financed. The late
ruling clarified a perplexing prob
lem for the Sank Centre City Coun-
Gil
The Council then interviewed Mr..
Lamson, Of the State loaning board.
When the bond issue of $4,000 was
authorized few weeks ago the vote
was taken on the tax levy of 1882.
The 1888 levy materially reduced
the total of 1892, and Mr.. Lamson
informed the Sank Centre officials
that the state would only be per-
mitted to loan $41, 600 on ire 1888
levy. A special bond issue for not
more than $1,000 will be called.
These bonds will either be taken
over by the sinking fund of the
Water, Light and Power Commits
sion, or sold privately. The de-
tails will be decided later.
Mr.Carey, Federal state engineer
stated to the city officials Monday
that his department had passed on
the plans and specifications sub
mitted to him and mailed them to
Washington Nov. 2. He expected
approval from Washington the lat
ter part of the present week. He
said as soon as he received the no
titce from Washington he would
wire the City Clerk, after which the
contract can be awarded and actu-
al work start about Dec. 1.
