Dear Sir:

The Board of Health requests that you have an ordinance pre-
pared appropriating to the Department of Health and Charities, the
proceeds received from the sale of bonds authorized by General
Ordinance No. 87, 1937, said bonds being designated "City of
Indianapolis City Hospital Bonds of 1938 — First Issue."

8 Journal of Common Council [Regular Meeting

The proceeds of these bonds are to be used in the completion of
the construction and equipment of the new F-Wing building of the
City Hospital, which said building is now in the course of construc-
tion and equipment; for paying architect's fees in supervising such
completion; for razing certain old buildings; and for improving the
ground adjacent to said F-Wing building.

The Board of Health further requests that you present such an
ordinance to the Council with a recommendation of its passage.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ H. G. MORGAN,

Secretary, Board of Health.

January 3, 1938.
To the Honorable President and
Members of the Common Council of the
City of Indianapolis.

Gentlemen :

Attached find copies of General Ordinance No. 1, 1938, amend-
ing Section 42 of General Ordinance No. 96, 1928, commonly known
as the Traffic Code, to take the place of General Ordinance No.
94, 1937.

The effect of this proposed amendment to said Traffic Code
is to require trackless trolleys on the approach of an emergency
vehicle, such as ambulances, fire wagons, etc., to stop in the con-
gested district until said emergency vehicles have passed, and to
require said trackless, trolleys in the territory outside of the con-
gested district to pull over to the side of streets and remain there
until said emergency vehicles have passed.

This proposed ordinance will clarify the situation as to what
trackless trolleys are to do under the circumstances as set out above.

We respectfully recommend passage of this ordinance.

of Indianapolis an instrument making selection of the object of said
trust and stating the conditions under which such selection was

the language following, to- wit:

"November 23, 1937.

"Hon. Walter Boetcher, Mayor,

City Council of the City of Indianapolis,

Board of Health of the City of Indianapolis,

Indianapolis, Indiana.

"Gentlemen :

"This is to confirm the offer recently made through
Mayor Kern and afterwards through Mayor Boetcher to
select the City Hospital of Indianapolis, Indiana, for the
establishment of memorial to the father and mother of
Katheryn Cones Patrick, as provided in her last will and
testament. Said last will and testament and the order of
the Probate Court of Marion County provide that said
memorial shall be of a charitable character connected with
or a part of some important hospital in the City of In*
dianapolis, Indiana, and that the selection thereof shall
be made by the undersigned as trustee under the trust
created by said will, provided acceptance is duly made by
the City of Indianapolis by duly enacted ordinance and by
executive order accepting, confirming and meeting the fol-
lowing requirements. Therefore, I offer to use and appro-
priate said sum of $100,000.00 for a Cancer Clinic in the
City Hospital of Indianapolis, Indiana, upon the following
terms :

"Said clinic shall be established in a certain pavilion in
said hospital which is appropriate and useful for such
clinic, with equipment therefor which shall cost not less

Journal of Common Council [Regular Meeting

than the sum of $40,000.00 and which equipment, together
with the materials necessary for such use, shall be selected
by Mr. Clarence Hess of the Methodist Hospital and ap-
proved by Dr. Charles W. Myers, Superintendent of the
City Hospital, and Miss Loretta Gramling, R. N. I will
pay for such equipment, adaptations of said pavilion and
material necessary therefor the sum qf $40,000.00 upon
receipt of invoices approved by Mr. Hess, Dr. Myers and
Miss Gramling, and all of said installation, equipment and
materials shall be and become the property of the City
of Indianapolis as installed, approved and paid for. I
propose, if the terms thereof are acceptable, to pay to
the City of Indianapolis or to some proper trustees or
foundation selected therefor by you, an additional sum of
$60,000.00, payment of which at the times, in the manner
and with the security following shall be treated by you
as a complete and entire compliance by me with the pro-
visions of the will of Katheryn Cones Patrick, deceased,
as follows, to-wit:

"(1) Upon the installation of the equipment and
the preparation of said pavilion in said hospital fully
equipped; for such clinic, I will pay the additional sum
of $10,000.00 in cash.

"(2) The remaining $50,000.00 I will pay at the rate
of $10,000.00 each year for five years beginning March 1,
1940, without interest except after March 1, 1944, the last
of which payments will complete the expenditure of said
sum of $100,000.00 constituting the trust funds under said
provision of said will.

"(3) Subject to final approval and confirmation by
the Judge of the Marion Probate Court as a full com-
pliance with the terms of said will, I propose, in order
to secure said deferred payments aggregating $50,000.00,
that Edwin L. Patrick as residuary legatee in said will,
will execute to me as trustee a trust deed for the real
estate known as No. 421 North Pennsylvania Street in the
City of Indianapolis and more particularly described as
follows:

"Lots 16, 17 and 18 and nine inches off the
north side of Lot 15, all in Henderson's Sub-
division of Square 17 in the City of Indianap-
, . , olis, as per plat thereof recorded in Land

January 17, 1938] City of Indianapolis, Ind. 31

Record S, page 364, in the office of the Re-
corder of Marion County, Indiana.

which said trust deed shall provide that said real
estate shall remain in and be impressed by said trust until
all of said deferred payments shall have been paid; that
said trust shall be docketed, as required by law, and sub-
ject to the supervision of the Judge of the Probate Court
until full payment, when said trust shall be terminated
and title declared to be in Edwin L. Patrick as residuary
legatee, free from said trust.

"It is further understood that Edwin L. Patrick as
residuary legatee, shall enjoy the possession of said real
estate and any income therefrom without cost to himself,
until and unless default should occur in said deferred pay-
ments; and in case said real estate, if resorted thereto for
such purpose, does not provide sufficient funds to pay said
deferred payments, then any such unpaid deficit shall be
a charge against the estate of said Edwin L. Patrick in-
dividually.

"However, at all times the undersigned trustee and
residuary legatee, under the order of the Marion Probate
Court, shall have full power to sell said real estate, pro-
vided that any unpaid portion of said aggregate sum of
$50,000.00 shall be paid and satisfied from the funds
realized for such sale, and the remainder of the purchase
price shall be and remain the property of said Edwin L.
Patrick, residuary legatee.

"If and when all of the payments herein agreed upon
shall have been made by me, then the trust deed with
respect to said real estate shall be released and satisfied
and title thereto shall revert to and remain in Edwin L.
Patrick, residuary legatee, free from said trust.

"It is my intention that the principal of said pay-
ments aggregating $60,000.00 in cash shall be set aside
and used exclusively as an endowment fund for the main-
tenance, care and improvement of the equipment of said
pavilion and that no part of the principal thereof be used
otherwise for a period of ten years from and after the
installation of said equipment and the payment therefor
by me, but that the principal and income from said aggre-
gate sum of $60,000.00 shall never at any time be used
for or applied to any purpose whatsoever other than the

32 Journal of Common Council [Regular Meeting

upkeep, extension and maintenance of said Cancer Clinic
as a free and charitable clinic for the use and treatment
of cancer patients and of no patients afflicted with diseases
other than cancer. However, during the first ten years
accruing interest may be used for upkeep of said equip-
ment.

"It is a condition that the pavilion occupied by such
clinic shall be known as Patrick Hall and that an appro-
priate bronze tablet be installed at or near the entrance
thereof stating that said pavilion is a memorial to the
father and mother of said Katheryn Cones Patrick, as pro-
vided in said will.

"Further working details and the form of ordinance
and acceptance shall be arrived at by mutual agreement."

"Edwin L. Patrick

Trustee under the Last Will and Testament
of Katheryn Cones Patrick, deceased."

"I agree to the foregoing
Edwin L. Patrick,
Residuary Legatee."

WHEREAS said Edwin L. Patrick, trustee, is prepared, sub-
ject to and upon the approval of the Probate Court of Marion
County, to carry out the provisions of said will and of said instru-

Dear Sir:

You are hereby notified that the Board of Health of the City

a contingency had arisen requiring the expenditure of the reserved

This; expenditure is deemed necessary by the Board in order to
provide the following in the campaign of the Board of Health to

with said disease.

stances regarding thisi said appropriation.

In view of the emergency which exists with regard to the preva-

quested that the money in the above fund be made available for
immediate use by the passage of a resolution by the Council under

March 21, 1938
Mr. Daniel J. O'Neill
City Clerk

Common Council of the City of Indianapolis

Indianapolis, Indiana

Gentlemen :

I am herewith presenting an Ordinance regulating Pawnbrokers
and licensing the same and expressly repealing General Ordinance No.
121, of 1925 as amended and supplemented by General Ordinance No.
75, of 1937. I am asking that the same be presented at the meeting
of the Common Council on Monday, March 21st.

The proposed Ordinance has been carefully considered by me
and it is my opinion that it offers a substantial opportunity to regu-
late and oversee the business of pawnbroking in the City of Indianap-
olis, without however overregulating the same and without attempt-
ing to add limitations and restrictions which are not required by the
present laws and statutes of the State of Indiana.

As a reading of the proposed ordinance will disclose, it is merely
supplemental to and in no way in conflict with or in derrogation of

March 21, 1938] City of Indianapolis, Ind. 133

the Indiana State Laws regulating pawnbrokers or any regulations of
the Department of Financial Institutions of the State of Indiana.

As you will note, Section 1 defines pawnbrokers and conforms
with the definition of same as set out in the statute of this State.
Section 2 confers the power to license pawnbrokers and Section 3 sets
out the requirements and conditions preliminary thereto, one of which
as you will note is the requirement that the applicant shall have first
been granted a license by the State of Indiana. Section 4 provides for
a license for each separate establishment. Section 5 limits the hours of
conducting said business to between seven (7:00 a. m.) and eight
(8:00 p. m.) on any day and extends the same to eleven (11:00 p. m.)
on Fair week and the first twenty- four (24) days of December. Section
6 prescribes the record that must be kept describing1 the Article re-
ceived, i. e. pledged or bought and a precise description of the person
pledging or selling the same. Section 7 requires the signature of the
pledgor to be affixed to the pawn ticket. Section 8 sets out the form
and requirements of the pawn ticket. Section 9 establishes the nego-
tiability of the ticket and the right of the person presenting the same
to receive the goods in conformity with the limitations therein set
out. Section 10 provides for a copy of the complete record for the
Police Department of the City of Indianapolis and provides for the
form thereof. Section 11 permits inspection by the Police Depart-
ment of all records. Section 12 sets out prohibited transactions. Sec-
tion 13 prescribes a penalty for violation of the ordinance. Section 14
expressly repeals the old ordinance of 1925 as amended by the Ordi-
nance of 1937. And Section 15 fixes an effective date for the
ordinance.

After lengthly discussion of the conditions obtaining in this busi-
ness and carefully thinking out what regulations and limitations they
ought to be subjected to both as a matter of police regulation and
legal permissibility, I have arrived at the conclusion that the within
Ordinance meets the need of the public in the matter of general regu-
lation of the pawnbroking business and at the same time while safe-
guarding the public generally does not place such prohibitory restric-
tions upon the pawnbrokers as might operate to confiscate in a sense
their business and property.

As the newly proposed ordinance is in conformity with the
present state law, it has the general safeguard of legality and validity.

Very truly yours,

EDWARD R. KEALING

Councilman

COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITY OFFICIALS

June 18, 1938.

To the President and Members

of the Common Council,

City of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Gentlemen :

Attached find copies of General Ordinance No. 52, 1938, an
ordinance repealing Special Ordinance No. 5, 1937, which was an
ordinance purporting to annex territory lying contiguous to the then
boundaries of the City of Indianapolis. However, this Special Ordi-
nance No. 5, 1937, did not set out a description which coincided with
one of the then existing boundaries of the City of Indianapolis, and
this ordinance, to repeal said Special Ordinance No. 5, 1937, is for
the purpose of repealing same so that this error can be corrected
by another ordinance setting out a description of territory, one
boundary of which will coincide with one of the City's present
boundary lines.

June 20, 1938] City of Indianapolis, Ind. 309

An ordinance correcting the error in description hereinabove
referred to will be submitted after the repeal of this Special Ordi-
nance No. 5, 1937.

We respectfully recommend the passage of this ordinance.

Very truly yours,

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC PAEKS,

Dear Sir:

I am herewith submitting 16 copies of Resolution No. 7, 1938,
relative to the 10 cent entrance charge to swim at pools located at
Rhodius Park, Garfield Park, Ellenberger Park and Douglass Park
after 2:00 p. m., in which I submit to the Common Council of the
City of Indianapolis, Ind., and the Board of Park Commissioners for
repeal.

Many boys and girls do not have the necessary funds to pay
and this would deprive such children the pleasure of swimming.

Resolved that the Common Council of the City of Indianapo-
lis, Ind.:

(1) That the swimming pools located at Rhodius Park, Gar-
field Park, Ellengerber Park and Douglas Park be open to the gen-
eral public at all regular hours without any admission fee.

(2) That a copy of this resolution be sent to the Board of
Park Commissioners.

COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITY OFFICIALS

June 29, 19S8.

To the Members of the Common Council.

Attached you will please find copies of proposed General
Ordinance No. 53, 1938, authorizing me to borrow the sum of Two
Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand ($266,000.00) Dollars and to issue for
this purpose, and to sell two hundred sixty-six (266) bonds of one
thousand $1,000.00) each to be designated as "East Street Funding
Bonds of 1938, First Issue."

Attached also you will please find copies of proposed Appro-
priation Ordinance No. 8, 1938, appropriating the proceeds antici-
pated from the bond sale to the Thoroughfare Plan Fund for the
aco^isition of property for the right of way and incidental matters
on East Street.

S28 Journal of Common Council [Special Meeting

I respectfully recommend passage of the bond authorization
ordinance under suspension of your rules, and wish to advise that
I take this action at the request of the Board of Public Works and
Sanitation in a resolution of that Board duly certified and directed
to me, asking- me to make immediate arrangements to obtain the
necessary authority, and to take steps to raise the required sum of
money.

I respectfully recommend that both of these ordinances be
passed as expeditiously as will meet with the approval of your
honorable body.

Very respectfully yours,

H. NATHAM SWAIM.

June 30, 1938.
Honorable President and Members
of the Common Council,

City of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Gentlemen :

We are enclosing herewith twenty copies of General Ordinance
No. 54, 1938, effecting the property bounded by 46th Street, Capitol
Avenue, 49th Street and Boulevard Place.

This ordinance will increase the area requirements of the ef-
fected property from 4800 sq. ft. per family to 7500 sq. ft. per
family.

Very truly yours,

V. B. McLEAY,
Secretary-Engineer,
CITY PLAN COMMISSION.

To the Honorable President
and the Members of the Common
Council :

Gentlemen:

In re: G. O. 55, 1938.

The legal department has been involved in a great deal of
litigation with reference to the city's regulation of pawnbrokers.

July 1,1938] City of Indianapolis, Ind. 329

The Shelby Circuit Court has passed upon some of the provisions
of the existing regulations, and has not upheld the city with reference
to these.

In order therefore to bring our ordinances with reference to
pawnbrokers within what the courts have held to be valid regulations,
and in order to dispose of points that we probably may not be able
to enforce, this department has redrafted an entirely complete ordi-
nance regulating pawnbrokers containing all that the Board of
Safety and the police department, in the past, have required, and
now submit this ordinance for your consideration.

Inasmuch as this ordinance is merely to correct legal objections,
and brings together at once all regulations now desired by the city
with reference to pawnbrokers, the legal department respectfully
recommends its passage, and likewise recommends the striking from
the files of proposed General Ordinance No. 29, as the same appears
at page 150 of the printed Journal of your Common Council, which
ordinance was introduced by Councilman Kealing. Inasmuch as the
ordinance drafted by the legal department contains complete regula-
tions, proposed General Ordinance No. 29 would be superfluous if
the council should pass the proposed ordinance which we herewith
attach.

Very respectfully yours,

DEPARTMENT OF LAW,

By Michael B. Reddington,

City Attorney.

July 1, 1938.
Mr. Daniel J. O'Neill,
City Clerk.

Dear Sir:

Attached hereto are 16 copies of Resolution No. 9, 1938,

application with the Federal Emergency Administration of Public

Warfleigh Main Sanitary Sewer.

330 Journal of Common Council [Special Meeting

Will you kindly present this resolution to the Common Council
at its next meeting with the recommendation from the Board of
Public Works and Sanitation that the same be passed ?

such goods, wares, and merchandise; the method by which such goods
were obtained, whether by purchase, consignment or otherwise; and

Section 10. The license provided for herein shall be granted,
and valid, only for the sale of the inventoried goods which are the
property of the licensee, and which are situated within the City of
Indianapolis. Commingling of additional or other goods, wares, or
merchandise with that shown in the inventory shall cause the mer-
chandise inventoried to lose its identity as distressed goods, and any
such license issued shall cease to apply to the sale of such goods.
If the inventoried stock shall be put on sale with other stock on
hand of an established merchant, then the same shall be considered
and deemed to be commingled, unless it is clearly and sufficiently
segregated, marked, or identified, and advertised so that it may be
readily distinguished from such other stocks, and its identity readily
ascertained.

Section 11. No person seeking a license hereunder shall secure
in any manner by purchase, consignment, or otherwise, any good$
wares, or merchandise prior to the application for a license for the
purpose of commingling it with the distressed stock, and any un-
usual purchase, consignment, shipment, or addition to stocks within
sixty days prior to application for a license shall be presumptive
evidence that any such purchase, consignment, shipment or addition
was made for the purpose of commingling in such sale.

Section 12. No person operating under such a license shall add
any goods to the inventoried stock by consignment or otherwise; and
no goods shall be sold in such sale except that included in the
original inventory. Each sale of goods not so inventoried shall
constitute a separate offense under th© ordinance.

Section 13. A copy of the application and license as herein
described shall be posted in a conspicuous place in the salesroom
or place where such goods are to be sold, so that the public may
be informed of the facts in relation to the goods before purchasing

Section 14. This ordinance shall not apply to public or court
officers, or to any person acting under the direction of State or
Federal Courts in the course of their official duties.

fine of not to exceed $100.00, or by imprisonment for a period not
exceeding 90 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment in the
discretion of the court.

Preliminary Road File

May 4, 1938.
Honorable Walter C. Boetcher,
Mayor,
Indianapolis, Indiana.

Dear Sir:

The State Highway Commission has included in their proposed
construction during the 1938 construction season the improvement of
the Brookville Road from a point 148 feet east of Irvington Avenue
to the east corporation line of Indianapolis. Before this work can
be advertised and let, it will be necessary for the Common Council
of the City of Indianapolis to pass an ordinance setting out certain
requirements of the U. S. Bureau of Public Road and permitting the
city to enter into an agreement to maintain the improvement at its
own expense after the improvement has been made.

This proposed improvement is to be constructed with accumu-
lated funds originally provided and apportioned to the State of
Indiana under Section 204 of the National Recovery Act. The U. S.
Bureau of Public Roads is anxious that the accumulated balance,

August 1, 1938] City of Indianapolis, Ind. 395

which we are applying to the construction of this project, be spent
as soon as possible and we are, therefore, urging you to have the
City Council pass the enclosed ordinance and execute the agreements
as soon as possible.

We are enclosing three copies of the ordinance and three copies
of the form of contract or agreement to be entered into between
the city and state providing for the maintenance of the project. This
contract must be executed in triplicate after the adoption of the
ordinance and all copies sent to this commission, whereupon one copy,
after execution, will be returned to you. All three copies of the
contract will be certified by the City Clerk and the seal of the city
affixed where called for. Two copies of the ordinance will also be
certified and forwarded to the commission. The original copy will be
retained for your files. Later it will be necessary for your city, if
called upon, to execute an ordinance for the protection of such
projects containing the provisions where applicable required by Sec-
tion 7 of the enclosed ordinance. In this connection you will remember
that this street is being improved by the Federal Government in
order to expedite traffic on a federal highway through the city and
naturally the government demands that these improvements be pro-
tected after they are made.

If additional right-of-way in the city will be required for the
project, you will be notified just what additional rights-of-way will
be required and the city will be required to obtain such right-of-way
at its expense.

In the meantime if any public or municipal utility as pipe
lines or conduits in the street to be improved which should be re-
moved or renewed the city must take immediate steps to have this
done so that when awarded the contractor may not be delayed in the
performance of his contract. If there are any sewers in the street,
they must be examined and put in good condition by the city.

You are urged to at once call a special meeting of the Common
Council of your city, pass the enclosed ordinance and at once return
the documents to this commission properly executed as above out-
lined.

Yours very truly,

M. R. KEEFE,

Chief Engineer.

COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITY OFFICIALS

August 15, 1938.
To the Honorable President and
Members of the Common Council of
the City of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Gentlemen:

In re: A. 0. 10, 1938, and G. 0. 67, 1938.

I beg leave to report that pursuant to the laws of the State
of Indiana, I caused notice by publication to be inserted in the
Indianapolis Commercial and Indianapolis Star, on August 5th, 1938,
that taxpayers would have a right to be heard on the above ordi-
nances at the regular meeting of the Common Council, to be held
on the 15th day of August, 1938, and by posting a copy of said
notice in the City Hall, Court House and Police Station.

Very truly yours,

DANIEL J. O'NEILL, JR.,

City Clerk.

August 15, 1938.
To the Honorable President and

Members of the Common Council
of the City of Indianapolis.

Gentlemen :

Attached please find copies of Appropriation Ordinance No. 11,
1938, appropriating the sum of Ten Thousand ($10,000) Dollars from
the anticipated unexpended and unappropriated balance of the Sani-
tary Maintenance and General Expense Fund for the year 1938 for
the use of the Garbage Reduction Plant of the Sanitary District in
order to pay for coal necessary to operate said plant.

I respectfully recommend the passage of this ordinance.

Yours very truly,

H. NATHAN SWAIM,

Acting City Controller.

August 15, 1938] City of Indianapolis, Ind, 41'

August 15, 1938.

To the Honorable President and

Members of the Common Council
of the City of Indianapolis.

Gentlemen :

In re: A. 0. 12, 1938.

Attached herewith are copies of a proposed ordinance authoriz-
ing me to borrow the sum of $85,000.00 and to issue bonds for this
purpose, and also a proposed appropriation ordinance appropriating
this sum to the Thoroughfare Fund of the city.

These proposed ordinances are sent to the Council by virtue
of a resolution of the Board of Public Works and Sanitation asking
that this sum of money be available in the Thoroughfare Fund for
the payment of the city's benefits at large by virtue of the South
East Street improvement, and also for payment of such added dam-
ages as may be ordered by courts where appeals have been taken
from the Board's award, and I find this sum to be $85,000.00 in excess
of the amount of money now standing to the credit of the Thorough-
fare Fund.

It is extremely urgent that this money be at once available
if the work is to proceed, and since the Council is familiar with
this project, and since the amount asked for here when taken with
the previous issue of $266,000.00 is less than the sum of $362,982.00,
which your Council previously authorized and determined upon, I
trust that I would not be asking too much if you were to pass the
bond ordinance under suspension of your rules, and to act upon the
appropriation ordinance at your next regular meeting.

Very respectfully yours,

H. NATHAN SWAIM,

Acting City Controller,

Mr. Oren made a motion for recess. The motion was

seconded by Mr. Cable and the Council recessed at 7:40
p. m.

The Council reconvened at 8:10 p. m., with the same
members present as before.

INTRODUCTION OF APPROPRIATION ORDINANCES

By the City Controller :

APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE No. 11, 1938

AN ORDINANCE appropriating" the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000.00) from the anticipated unexpended and unappro-
priated balance of the Sanitary Maintenance and General Ex-
pense Fund for the year 1938, for the use of the Garbage Re-
duction Plant of the Sanitary District in order to pay for
coal necessary to operate said plant, and fixing a time when
the same shall take effect.

WHEREAS, the Garbage Reduction Plant of the Sanitary District
will be, for the last three months of this year, without suf-
ficient coal to operate the same, due to the fact that the Com-
mon Council and the Tax Adjustment Board deleted from the
annual budget part of the amount of money necessary for the
purchase of coal for the year 1938 with which to furnish
energy for the operation of the Garbage Reduction Plant; and

420 Journal of Common Council [Regular Meeting

WHEREAS, the price of coal having risen, the amount of money-
appropriated in the annual budget for the purchase of fuel and
ice was wholly inadequate to meet the needs of the reduction
plant, and unless additional money be appropriated an acute
emergency will exist in that the Garbage Reduction Plant can-
not operate and pestilence is a possible result of such non-
operation,

NOW, THEREFORE,

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA:

Section 1. That the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00)
is hereby appropriated from the anticipated unexpended and unap-
propriated 1938 balance of the Sanitary Maintenance and General
Expense Fund of the Department of Public Sanitation to the follow-
ing designated fund, for the purchase of coal with which to supply
energy to operate the Garbage Reduction Plant:

Section 2. The city clerk is hereby directed to give notice to
taxpayers that at the next meeting of this Common Council said
taxpayers shall have an opportunity to be heard, and upon passage
of this ordinance shall deliver a certified copy thereof to the auditor
of Marion County, Indiana, to be forwarded to the State Board
of Tax Commissioners, as provided for by Chapter 150 of the Acts
of 1935.

Section 3. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from
and after its passage and signing by the Acting Mayor.

Which was read the first time and referred to the
Committee on Finance.

By the City Controller:

APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE No. 12, 1938

AN ORDINANCE appropriating to the Thoroughfare Plan Fund the
proceeds derived from the sale of "City of Indianapolis East
Street Funding Bonds of 1938 — Second Issue," provided for in
General Ordinance No. — , 1938, and Federal grant funds, and
fixing a time when the same shall take effect.

August 15, 1938] City of Indianapolis, Ind. 421

WHEREAS, The Common Council finds that an extraordinary-
emergency now exists for the appropriation of additional sums
not included in the existing budgets and levies at the time of
the making thereof, for the opening, widening and permanent
improvement of South East Street in this city; that the south
side of the City of Indianapolis is now lacking in streets of suf-
ficient width, and that due to the offered aid and assistance of
the United States Public Works Administration, and the low
rate at which money can be borrowed, an emergency exists
whereby the city should undertake to accomplish the work at
this time, and,

WHEEEAS, it is necessary under the provisions of Chapter 150 of
the 1935 legislature to afford taxpayers an opportunity to be
heard as to such additional appropriation, and also to obtain
the approval of the State Board of Tax Commissioners as to
such additional appropriation,

NOW, THEREFORE,

BE (IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA:

Section 1. That the proceeds derived from the sale of "City
of Indianapolis East Street Funding Bonds of 1938 — Second Issue,"
in the amount of $85,000.00 be and the same is hereby appropriated
to the Thoroughfare Plan Fund of the City of Indianapolis, and that
any premium offered at the time of the sale of such bonds be like-
wise appropriated to said fund, but only to the extent that said pre-
mium be used to retire bonds on which said premium was offered.
Said appropriation shall be a continuing one until all of the acquisi-
tion of property and the improvement of South East Street is
brought about and completed.

Section 2. The Public Works Administration of the Federal
government having indicated that it will grant to the City of In-
dianapolis funds in the amount of $69,882.00 to aid in the project
on South East Street, this sum, and any and all sums of money
which may be granted to the city by the Federal government, shall
be and the same hereby is appropriated to the Thoroughfare Plan

WHEREAS, heretofore there has been filed with this Common Coun-
cil a petition for the issuance of bonds for the improvement of
South East Street under the Thoroughfare Plan which this

forty-eight (248) purported owners of taxable real estate in
the City of Indianapolis, two hundred two (202) of whom were
certified as such by the auditor of Marion County, Indiana,
which this council now deems sufficient; and

WHEREAS, upon receipt of said petition, proper notice to taxpayers
was given, and the time having since passed for any objections
or remonstrances to be filed, and none having been filed; and,

WHEREAS, this Common Council upon receipt of said petition, by
the passage of General Ordinance No. 10, 1938, placed itself

by the duly acting and qualified City Controller that the sum
of Eighty-five Thousand Dollars ($85,000.00) is necessary, allow-
ing for increases in damages which may be ordered by courts
where appeals have been taken from the amount awarded and
allowed in the damage roll, and considering the amount neces-
sary to pay for such benefits as may be assessed to the city
at large for this improvement, that after the cost of acquisition
of right-of-way is paid this sum is $85,000.00 in excess of the
amount of money which will stand to the credit of the Thor-
oughfare Fund of the city, and the members of this council
now deem it necessary to authorize the issuance and sale of
bonds in said amount; and,

WHEREAS, the bond issue in the sum of $266,000.00 heretofore
