Big LAND BANK
REPAIR PROJECT
BEING PLANNED
1885 Farm improvements to
Exceed Two Previous
Years Says Official

Repairs and improvements are
planned on widespread scale
covering farms in Minnesota,
Michigan, Wisconsin and North
Dakota held by the Federal Land
Bank of St. Paul, it was announc-
ed this week.
In the last two years, the state
ment says, the bank expended up
ward of 100000 in repairs and
it has now embarked upon pro-
gram for 1885 which will repre-
sent a substantial increase over
expenditures of the previous two
years. A repair department is
being organized and definite po-
Icy has been decided upon that
will keep the land bank in step
with the administrations desire
to increase employment and legi-
innate buying.
Local dealers will be patronized
as far as possible in the purchase
of such materials as lumber, GEM
ent, brick, paper, paint and other
items. Outlining the project and
some of the benefits that are ex-
pected to flow from it, George S.
Gordhamer, executive vice presi-
dent and treasurer of the bank,
said:
''The Federal Land Bank be-
lieves in the betterment of farm
ing in every way open to it, and
believes in backing up that theory
with practical works. We want
the farms, which we are forced
through circumstances to acquire
from time to time, to go again in
to the hands of farmers, and when
they do so, we want them to be
satisfactory to the buyers, farms
that the buyers will be glad to
work for and to own.

The life of a detective sergeant

so now he is a firSt-claSS patrol
man at his own request. Edwin
Harvey found. after u years as a

was of too nervous a tempera-

truck.
These disconcerting facts we're
reviewed by the Safety Board to-
day. which obligingly denoted
Sergt. Reilly at a cost to him of
$40 a year and Chauffeur Harvey
at a cost of Is cents a day.
With some embarrassment Chief
Mike MorriSsey told of Mr..
Reilly's disillusionment, and Fire
Chief Fred Kennedy of Mr..
Harvey's temperament.

Columbia Controls All Gas Pipe Lines
Available to City, PrObers Informed

The Indiana legislative committee,
investigating charges of monopolis-
tic control of natural gas supplies,
last night was told that Columbia
Gas and Electric Co. holds either
investment or contractural rights in
every available source Of natural
gas supply for indianapolis.
After two hours of testimony re-
garding natural gas company bonds
and mortgages, notes and defaults,
foreclosures and receiverships, inter-
locking directories and overlapping
ownerships, these facts stood out:
/. The only existing natural gas
pipe line capable of supplying In
dianapolis is owned by Indiana Gas
Transmission Co., which is sub
sidiary of Columbia Oil and Case
line Co., in turn owned by Columbia
Gas and Electric Co.
2. Panhandle and Eastern Gas Co.
