Indiana'S Municipal
League Draws
Battle Lines.
by VINCENT s. LYONS.
Tines Financial Editor

THE growing wave OF sentiment
for municipal ownership Of
public utilities reached a very
definite stage IN this state this
week when the Indiana Municipal
League mapped a program TO sup
port legislation, providing for such
an eventuahty, at the General As
sembly, which gets under way here
today.
one of the first steps TO be taken
by the League in its campaign
will be the employment Of full
time secretary to work with its
legislative committee throughout
the term Of the Legislature. At the
same time Mayor Kern Of Indian
apOlis, who has plans for public
ownership Of the Citizens Gas Co,
promised that he would procure
headquarters for the legislative
committee.
The Indiana Municipal League is
composed Of mayors and other Of
hcials Of Indiana cities. Members
of the all important legislative
committee include Mayor william
Dentlinger of Charlottesville,
Mayor Sydney Baker of Newcastle,
Mayor Cell Firestone Of Goshen,
Mayor vincent Youkey of Crown
Point and James Adams, city at
torney of Shelbyville.
THIEF interest at the gathering
~ Of the league, however, was
reserved for c. w. H. Bangs, Hunt
ingtOns in-again-oUt-again mayor,
who has been busily engaged since
the first Of the year IN very in
teresting game of hide-and-seek
with persons who are endeavOring
to halt his activity of stringing
power lines from the city's light
plant to private homes.
From the looks of things some
thing very definite in regard to
municipal ownership will occur
within the near future. The bene-
fits from such an undertaking
have been so widely publicized that
every effort will be exerted to in
crease any advantage which is
gained. Only this week Senator
Van Mugs declared that an attempt
would be made to clear the way for
a Federal loan to Indianapolis for
the purpose Of taking over the
properties of the Citizens Gas Co.
Meanwhile, the squabble between
the city of New York and the pub
lie utility interests supplying the
municipality with power has
reached new interesting heights.
Some form of compromise was Of
fered by utility corporations, but
undoubtedly now that the battle
has been started, Mayor La
Guardia isn't going to be satisfied
with half a loaf.

Miguel.
"You have been in the Valley Of

Miguel said nothing. He only
shifted his glance sharply aside to-
ward the girl.
Even If everything you say should
be true-and I admit nothing" said
Miguel, chow could one-legged worm

fort Of Duraya?"

He took out a money belt and

THE KEY.

Miguel.
IT never sit down till I'm well

first my name and then my err
rand. My name is Jose; my errand IS
to steal from the governor the en-
erald crown of Our Lady which he
took from the church. have prom
ised Bishop Emiliano to put the crown
back in his hands"
These words brought gasp from
the girl; she retreated a little so that
she could get fuller view of the face
of the speaker, but the proprietor OF
the inn was totally unmoved.
He finally said: "Well, then sit
down."
Montana bowed little to Miguel, a
little more to the girl, and took
chair at the round table in the corner
of the room. Miguel sat opposite him,
his wooden leg squeaking on the floor.
The girl leaned her elbows on the
back of chair and kept turning her
head from one speaker to the other.
IL Llle SOtcIllOI lCdl llo dOOuo yOu
he burns you alive; if the rurales
learn about you. would they have old
scores against you, JOSEF" asked
Miguel.
II never saw one of the rurales that
I would like to sit face to face with"
answered Montana, smiling. He
watched the eyes of the other and
almost was sure that he saw slight
glitter of answering light in response
to this confession.
why do you come to me except to
get help?" asked Miguel.
Every man who hates the governor
is sure to wish to help me-"
who tells you that hate the gov
ernor?"
Every man who loves the bishop
hates the governor"
1--WE never whispered in my sleep
or spoken aloud that hate the gov
ernor," declared Miguel, in his usual
rasping voice.
What a man has lost on earth he
is apt to hope for in heaven sug-
gested Montana He saw the blow
tell, but only in the slightest lifting of
the brows of his companion.

room.
For a moment more she consid-
cred Montana with such bright malice
that it seemed as though she would
rush at him. Instead she whirled
around and fed from the room. The
door slammed behind her. Her heels
clacked rapidly on the stairway.

guel.
NO" said Montana. "She did not
run back into the inn. She ran out
into the open night"

He went to the door, opened it,
and then returned to his chair.
will you sit here and wait with
me till she comes back, or shall wait
alone?" asked Montana.
Tell me how you got so much
gringo gold"
Montana thought back to the truth.
There was a gringo dog of crooked
gambler" he said. THE fellow played
very good game of cards Because
Of that he gave me all the money in
his pocket, his horse, his saddle. and
some new gringo words which I
learned to repeat after him"

uniform. and a sword at his side, and
house where Rosita can be lady"
She turned her back on him and
walked to the window. and stood with
her face close to the black simmer
ing glass, though she could hardly be
able to see much except her own
thoughts by this light. Miguel, as he
looked at her almost smiled.
"You are the key'to the castle and
the fort, Rosita," said Montana. Tell
me how you will use the key. 1t is no
army that wants to get in. Only two
men. Only myself and my friend.

The big 1884 increase In water con-

ascribed by Provost william David

St. Johns College Calls
For Offers on Old Mansion

When the work was completed Co
lonial furniture loaned to the college
was installed and the house was
opened as a museum, being used as
part of the history department Of the
college.
Col. Woodcock pointed out that the
museum did not return enough finan-
cially to pay the custodian. He said
the museum was discontinued before
he became president of the college,
and the furniture and fittings had
been removed.
The college spent considerable
sum in restoring the house" Col,
Woodcock said. AT present it is not
being used and is of no practical use
to the college My own idea is to con-
centrate all collegiate activity on the
campus. where we have ample grounds
and facilities"
Col. Woodcock said the college would
also entertain offers for the BriCe
house, built in 1765 and now used as
the home for the president and men,

The Hammond-H -Harwood house, con-
sidered one of the most perfect ex-
amples of Colonial architecture in the
Nation, will be sold if st. Johns Col
lege can find purchaser.
Col. Amos w. w. Woodcock, preSi-
dent of the college, said the authori-
ties of the institution would like to

was "a beautiful building for which
the college has no particular need"
The mansion, built by Matthias
Hammond. was bought at auction sale
by st. Johns when Maj. Enoch B
Carey was president of the college
1t was restored to its original condi-
ton, much time being spent in finish
ing the interior walls, woodwork and
arranging draperies as they were in

BY STEWART MCDONALD.

Properties which conform to their
neighborhood surroundings in type,
size, usefulness and function, value,
age and physical condition will receive
most favorable consideration from the
Federal Housing Administration.
The degree of appropriateness of the
individual property TO its neighborhood
will have an important bearing upon
the final grade rating assigned to the
loan. Therefore, to obtain the best
rating, the individual property and its
environment must present a har-
monious relationship. This does not
mean that it is necessary, or even de-
sirable, for property to be of the same
architectural design as, or to be iden-
tical in appearance with, surrounding
properties, but 1t should not strike a
discordant note when the neighbor-
hood is viewed as whole.
For example, a $4,000 home. sit
uated in a neighborhood where $4,000
homes are typical. will be looked upon
with less favor than one OF typical
value; likewise a five-room bungalow,
situated In a neighborhood OF large
two-story homes. dupleXes apartments
or commercial buildings, will receive a
lower rating than if located among
single family homes Of similar size
and value.
Character Is Important.
Neighborhoods consisting Of homes
and inhabitants of homogeneous
character present the greatest appeal
to the average home-seeker, and for
this reason will receive most favorable
consideration by the underwriting de-
partment of the Housing Administra-
ton.
Properties situated most conveniently
with respect to transportation, shop
ping centers, schools, churches, libra
res, parks, Fairgrounds and amuse-
ment centers will be rated most IA
vorably. However, If these conven-
fences are in such close proximity
Evening star., 1935-09-21

as to be considered nuisances, 1t may
be necessary to ascribe, to the prop
erty in question, a lower rating than
would result II they were slightly re-
moved.
Properties most adequately served
by public utilities and having munich
pal improvements will be rated higher
than those not enjoying such benefits.
In a neighborhood where the typical
residence is placed 20 feet back from
the street or sidewalk, the nome which
is placed on the rear of its lot or on
the front lot line presents an I'M
pleasing appearance and will receive
much less favorable consideration
than one placed in conformity with
its surroundings.
Remaining Life Important.
The remaining useful life of resi-
Dental property as compared with
others Of the neighborhood is Of vital
importance. For instance, old, run
down homes whose future useful lives
are short have distinctly adverse ef-
feet on the newer, well-kept proper
ties which they surround. A low rat
ing will be ascribed in such cases.
All of the rules, as above outlined,
with reference to relation of a prop
erty to its neighborhood, are based on
common-sense experience with buyers
of residential property. Prospective
purchasers, whether consciously or
not, do give consideration to the en-
vironment of the home they con-
slider buying, and its relationship to
its neighborhood surroundings is OF
vital Importance in the forming of
their decisions. The appeal and de-
STABILITY Of the property to the typical
buyer is the factor which determines
its value as security for an insured
mortgage loan.
While the relation of the property
to its neighborhood is only one of
the factors which are given consider
alton, 1t is obvious what an important
part it plays in the course of the COM
plete investigation by the underWrit-
ing department.
