HISTORY OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS

Indianapolis was established as a town in 1821. It was at this
time that a commission, appointed by the legislature, selected this
location as a site for a seat of government of the State of Indiana.

The town of Indianapolis conducted its affairs pursuant to the
general laws of the state until 1832. In this year the town was incor-
porated and was governed by a board of five trustees.

In 1838, pursuant to a special act of the legislature, Indianapolis
was re-incorporated and placed in the hands of its first town council
composed of a president and six members.

The common council continued in a large measure to control the
affairs of Indianapolis as a town and as a city under various so-called
charters or grants of the legislature until 1891.

Under a special act of the legislature of 1891 for the city of
Indianapolis, a somewhat different form of government was estab-
lished. While the council continued to exercise broad control over
the city's affairs, various executive departments of the city were
provided, such as Public Works, Public Safety, Public Parks and Pub-
lic Health, conducted by boards appointed by the Mayor. These
boards were granted specific powers and duties concerning the city's
business previouly exercised by the council through committees,
subject, however, in some cases to approval of the council in all
matters of expenditure of money and appropriation of funds by the
council.

For some time prior to 1891 the City of Indianapolis was divided
into 25 wards represented by 25 ward councilmen. Their term of
office was two years and they were eligible for re-election. At this
time there was also, a separate body operating in conjunction with the
council called the Board of Aldermen, composed of ten Aldermen,
representing five Aldermanic districts, two being elected from each
district.

Under the 1891 act the Board of Aldermen was abolished and
a common council of 21 members was established. Fifteen members

were elected to represent 15 wards and six members were elected to
represent the city at large.

This form of council continued to exist in Indianapolis under
the general cities and towns act of 1905. The act of 1905, while
often referred to as the Indianapolis Charter, is very largely a re-
enactment of the 1891 Indianapolis charter, modified to make the Indi-
anapolis system applicable to all classes of cities of the state. The
1905 law increased the term of Mayor and councilmen to four years
and prohibited re-election.

In 1909 a novel councilmanic law for Indianapolis alone was
passed by the legislature. This law limits the number of councilmen
to nine. The law provides for the nomination by each party of six
candidates, one from each of six councilmanic districts. In the elec-
tion all of the voters of the city may vote for any nine candidates
and the nine receiving the highest number of votes are elected. This
law insures a minority representation in the Council of at least three
members

the Airport within the meaning of Section 303 of the Civil Aeronautics

of aircraft at the Airport, or otherwise limit its usefulness as an
airport.

(g) In order to protect the rights and interests of the Govern-
ment under this agreement, the City of Indianapolis agrees that it
will not enter into any transaction which would operate to deprive

obligation to perform all such covenants is assumed by another
public agency. The City of Indianapolis further agrees that it will
not execute any deed, lease, operation or management agreement,
or other instrument affecting the airport or any portion or facility
thereof or interest therein, even though the other party to the trans-
action is the Government acting through the War Department or
Navy Department, unless thirty days' notice of its intention so to do
has been given to the Administrator, or unless the Administrator
has waived the right to such notice. A copy of the proposed instru-
ment in question shall be attached to said notice, which shall state the
date upon which the same is to> be executed.

tion 1 (e) hereof. The City of Indianapolis further agrees that,
during all times that the landing area of the Airport is not held by
the Government under lease, the Government shall have the right to
use such area in common with others, without charge, to the extent
possible without requiring limitation of non-military operations.

(1) Provided that, the foregoing provisions of this agreement
shall not apply to that portion of the airport which is now occupied
by the Civil Aeronautics Administration under lease dated January
17, 1938, during the term of said lease or any renewal thereof.

(2) Provided further that nothing contained in this agreement
shall in any way supersede or invalidate any lease or leases which
the City of Indianapolis now has with any Commercial Airline for
non-military use of the facilities of said airport, or interfere in any
way with the renewal thereof; nor shall anything contained in this
agreement interfere with or prevent the use of said airport by private
and non-military aircraft; but the right to grant such use of said
airport shall continue to remain wholly within the power and dis-
cretion of the City of Indianapolis.

Attached please find copies of General Ordinance No. 7, 1943,

issued pursuant to G. O. No. 29, 1913.

Sufficient provision has not been made in the budget and tax
levy adopted for the year 1943 to pay the principal of said bonds,
and it will be necessary, in order to preserve the credit of the City,
to refund said bonds.

March, 11, 1943] City of Indianapolis, lnd. 87

I recommend that the Council authorize the issuance of refund-
ing bonds in the amount of $150,000.00 for the purpose of procuring
funds to pay and redeem the above designated bonds, and that the
proceeds of said refunding bonds be appropriated to the Department
of Finance for that purpose.

Also, I would appreciate it very much if the Common Council
will hold a special meeting on the 11th of March, 1943, to act upon
this General Ordinance.

Respectmully submitted,

ROY E. HICKMAN,

RE: General Ordinance No. 9

The Department of Public Health and Charities, of the City of
Indianapolis, submits for your approval and passage an amendment
to Section 3-A of General Ordinance No. 47, 1941, pertaining to
permit fees and the sale or distribution of milk products in the City
of Indianapolis.

This amendment is made necessary on account of a repeal of a
state law relative to the check off being made against producers
who are selling milk on the Indianapolis market.

The amendment to the ordinance will place all inspection fees
on the distributor instead of as heretofore dividing them between both
the producer and distributor.

Respectfully submitted,

"Section 3. Any person, persons, firm, company, associa-

Mr. Dauss made the following motion which was read by
the Clerk:

April 5, 1943
To the President and Members of
the Common Council:

I move that the letter addressed to the Common Council by
Booth Tarkington, and read at the meeting of March 15, 1943, by
Mrs. Booth Tarkington, be incorporated into the minutes of the Coun-
cil so that it may become a part of the permanent record.

RAYMOND C. DAUSS,

Councilman.

April 5, 1943] City of Indianapolis, Ind. 159

4270 North Meridian Street, Indianapolis,

March 15, 1943.

This letter is addressed to whom it most concerns, the members
of the City Council and the citizens of Indianapolis present at this
meeting.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I write to offer a thought for your consideration, and behind
the thought there is a strange fact, an anomaly in nature. I think
that it was a great man, Maurice Maeterlinck, who first put the
thought into words and called our attention to the strangeness of
the fact. He said that out of all the hundreds of thousands of species
of animals created by nature, only one — one single species of animal
— had come to be man's friend and loved him. Man made use of
other animals, horses and cattle and other beasts; but out of the
myriads of creatures upon the earth only one, the dog, abandoned
even his own kind and voluntarily crossed the vast abyss that sepa-
rates the species. Only the dog had leaped that gulf and come to live
with man to be his devoted companion, his joyful servant and humble
defender. If a cat were the size of a tiger, said Maeterlinck, I would
avoid him as I would avoid a tiger, but the dog makes man his god,
worships him, adores him, finds supreme joy only in seeing him,
living near him and pleasing him.

Yes, it is strange destiny the dog has accomplished for him-
self, selecting man out of all the universe, coming of his own free
will and trustfully to be man's only friend. In the whole of illimitable
space man has no other. No other loves him, believes in him or un-
questionably puts the power of life and death for himself in man's
hands. I find few things in life more touching than the fact that the
dog does this gladly and meekly. The history of his race has left
him no option except to put his fate in the hands of man, his dearly
loved god.

What is man's response ? A detail of the answer to that ques-
tion is before this assembly tonight. Only a detail, yes; but a detail
involving life and death, horror and torture, for these poor helpless
little friends of man. Upon the decision of the Council in this matter

rests a difference for many, many of them between h on earth

and heaven on earth.

160 Journal of Common Council [Regular Meeting

This is another strange thought, ladies and gentlemen; but it
can be heaven on earth to be a $4 dog. I can't believe that any $100
dog would be less valuable because there'd come to be a chance for life
and happiness in the existence of $4 dogs. The $4 dogs are already
in the world — as we ourselves are. Can't they have even $4 worth
of a chance to live?

There's a word much used of late years, often inappropriately;
but it seems to apply to the question before you. The word "under-
privileged." What of the underprivileged who can't even hope to be
$4 dogs? The answer turns the heart sick; but we haven't found any
other: they must die. Yes, we acquiesce; but we often hear nowadays
that the world is in a struggle against ruthlessness.

That is the quality we attribute to our enemies, and rightly.
Then certainly we should not find ruthlessness at home. The quality
of mercy is twice blessed. Do we deny it to helpless creatures who
would be our friends if we would let them live ? Do we make them
not only die but die in agony — we who array ourselves as among the
merciful peoples of this earth?

Indianapolis has grown to be more than "no mean city;" it is
a great one. Can it afford to be a city wherein the noble and blessed
quality of mercy is not shown to the helpless?

Ladies and gentlemen, I am,

Respectfully yours,

BOOTH TARKINGTON.

unanimous vote of the Council.

Respectfully,

ROBERT H. TYNDALL,

Mayor.

April 14, 1943.
To the Honorable President and
Members of the Common Council
of the City of Indianapolis.

Gentlemen :

I am returning to you herewith without my signature, within
ten days after its receipt by me, General Ordinance No. 10.

My objections to General Ordinance No. 10 are as follows:

1. If this ordinance were put into effect, it would materially
decrease the flow of traffic during rush hours and would
substantially increase the consumption of gasoline and
rubber due to the necessity of motor vehicles being
forced to stop and start in a single line of traffic.

2. By requiring a single line of traffic to pass to the right
of safety zones in the mile square, a large number of
defense workers who are required to drive their auto-
mobiles to and from work, would be delayed.

3. The Traffic Engineer of the City, after studying the
traffic problems in the mile square, has recommended
that traffic be permitted to continue to pass to the left
of safety zones, as it has been routed for some time in
the past.

4. As to the safety features involved, I have been advised
by the Police Department that no accidents have oc-
curred, nor bodily injury has been suffered by persons
waiting in safety zones for street cars during the time

172 Journal of Common Council [Regular Meeting

that motor vehicles have been authorized to drive to
the left of such zones.

5. It is to be deeply regretted that at times persons wait-
ing in safety zones suffer damage to their clothing due
to water and mud being splashed thereon by passing
vehicles. However, in the present emergency, I do not
feel that such incidents, regrettable as they are, out-
weigh the necessity of the conservation of essential
materials and the expediting of traffic as above stated.

Very truly yours,

ROBERT H. TYNDALL.

Mayor.

RESOLUTION
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS AND SANITATION
OF THE CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS

WHEREAS, the Administrator of Civil Aeronautics of the United
States Department of Commerce (hereinafter referred to as
the "Administrator"), with the approval of a Board composed
of the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, and the
Secretary of Commerce, has designated as necessary for na-
tional defense a project (herein called the "Project") for devel-
opment of the Indianapolis Municipal Airport (herein called the
"Airport"), which Project is identified as 904-12-12; and

WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to release and operation of the
Project, the Administrator requires that the City of Indianapolis
(herein called the "City") have certain property interests in the

330 Journal of Common Council [Regular Meeting

landing area of the Airport and the lands to be improved under
the Project and enter into an agreement with the United States
(herein called the "Government"), in the manner and form
hereof; and

WHEREAS, the City of Indianapolis is legally, financially, and other-
wise able to enter into such an agreement and desires to avail
itself of the benefits of prosecution of the Project.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Public Works
and Sanitation as follows:

Section 1. That for and in consideration of development of
the airport by the government as contemplated by the Project, the City
of Indianapolis does hereby covenant and agree with the Government
as follows: this agreement to become effective upon the award of any
construction contract for any portion of the Project or the inaugu-
ration of any portion of the Project under force account, and to con-
tinue during the useful life of the improvements made under the
Project.

(a) The Government shall have the right to determine the exact
nature of the improvements to be made under the Project, the manner
in which construction thereunder is to be conducted, and the amount
of Federal funds to be expended. The City of Indianapolis will co-
operate with the Government to ensure prosecution of the Project
without interference or hindrance, and agrees to permit the agents
and employees of the Government, and all persons authorized by the
Administrator, to enter upon, use, and occupy the property to be
developed, as the Administrator may deem necessary or desirable in
connection with the construction and use by the Government.

June 7, 1943] City of Indianapolis, Ind. • 331

resulting from willful or negligent acts or omissions of the Govern-
ment or any of its officers, employees, agents, or agencies, all other
claims sounding in tort, and claims for materials furnished or work
performed pursuant to authority given by officers, employees, or
agents of the Government.

(c) It is understood and agreed that all improvements made
under the Project shall be the sole and absolute property of the City
of Indianapolis except where specifically agreed otherwise, in writing,
prior to the undertaking of the improvement or installation in ques-
tion.

(d) The City of Indianapolis agrees that, continuously during
the term of this agreement, the Airport will be operated as such,
and for no other purpose, and that unless utilized exclusively for
military purposes, it will at all times be operated for the use and
benefit of the public on reasonable terms and without unjust dis-
crimination, and without grant or exercise of any exclusive right for
the use of the Airport within the meaning of Section 303 of the Civil
Aeronautics Act of 1938.

(e) The City of Indianapolis agrees that it will at all times
during the term of this agreement maintain in good and service-
able condition and repair the entire landing area of the Airport and
all improvements, facilities, and equipment which have been or may
be made, constructed, or installed with Federal aid, including all im-
provements made under the Project, other than facilities and equip-
ment owned by the Government; Provided, that during any period
the said landing area or airport improvements, facilities, or equipment
are leased by or licensed to the Government for military purposes, the
City of Indianapolis shall be obligated to bear only that proportion of
the expense of maintenance of the landing area or airport improve-
ments, facilities, or equipment so leased or licensed, which their non-
military use bears to their total use.

(f ) Insofar as is within its powers and reasonably possible, the
City of Indianapolis will prevent any use of land either within or out-
side of the boundaries of the Airport, including the construction,

332 Journal of Common Council [Regular Meeti

erection, alteration, or growth, of any structure or other object
thereon, which would be a hazard to the landing, taking off, or
maneuvering of aircraft at the Airport, or otherwise limit its use-
fulness as an airport.

(g) In order to protect the rights and interests of the Govern-
ment under this agreement, the City of Indianapolis agrees that it
will not enter into any transaction which would operate to deprive it
of any of the rights and powers necessary to perform any or all of
the covenants made herein, unless by such transaction the obligation
to perform all such covenants is assumed by another public agency.
The City of Indianapolis further agrees that it will not execute any
deed, lease, operation or management agreement, or other instrument
affecting the airport or any portion of facility thereof or interest
therein, even though the other party to the transaction is the Govern-
ment acting through the War Department or Navy Department, un-
less thirty days' notice of its intention so to do have been given to
the Administrator, or unless the Administrator has waived the right
to such notice. A copy of the proposed instrument in question shall
be attached to said notice, which shall state the date upon which the
same is to be executed.

(h) The City of Indianapolis agrees that, if requested to do so
by the War Department or Navy Department, at any time during
a national emergency declared by the President, it will lease the
landing area of the Airport to the Government for military or naval
use, at a nominal rental, for a term of one year, renewable annually
at the option of the Government for such period as the Government
may designate: Provided, That the lease shall contain an express
stipulation that its term shall not exceed the duration of the national
emergency and six months thereafter unless an extension thereof is
approved by the Administrator. Such lease shall also contain a cove-
nant on the part of the Government to permit, by instruments in
writing, use of the leased premises as a public Municipal Airport by
commercial, private, and other non-military aircraft, to the fullest
extent possible without interfering with military operations and to
bear all of the expense of maintaining and keeping in good repair
the leased premises and all improvements and facilities thereon,
other than that proportion of the cost of such maintenance for which
the City of Indianapolis assumes responsibility under Section 1 (e)

June 7, 1943] City of Indianapolis, Ind. 333

hereof. The City of Indianapolis further agrees that, during all times
that the landing area of the Airport is not held by the Government
under lease, the Government shall have the right to use such area in
common' with others, without charge, to the extent possible without
requiring limitation of non-military operations.

(1) It is further provided that in the event a lease is entered
into, as hereinabove provided, that such lease shall be subject to a
certain lease entered into between the City of Indianapolis and the
Roscoe Turner Aeronautical Corporation, dated July 1, 1940, for a
term of twenty (20) years with the privilege of renewal for twenty
(20) years, recorded on July 12, 1940, in Miscellaneous Record 313,
page 5 in the records of the Recorder of Marion County, Indiana;
and that said lessee shall be entitled to enjoy all benefits as in said
lease provided.

(i) The foregoing provisions of this Resolution shall not apply
to that portion of the Airport which is now occupied by the Civil
Aeronautics Administration under lease dated January 17, 1938, dur-
ing the term of said lease or any renewal thereof.

Section 2. In order to satisfy the Government that the City of
Indianapolis is qualified to sponsor the project under the Project

with the offer made by the City of Indianapolis in Section 1 hereof,

(4) Said party of the first part agrees, upon the written order
of said Board, made for any cause affecting the interest of the City

the party of the first part hereby releases all claims for damages
whatsoever that may arise by reason of such removal; and in re-

and pavement or either thereof shall be or become out of repair or
in need of being reconstructed, or become in any way defective (of
which fact the said Board shall be the exclusive judge), it shall be
the duty of the said party of the first part to promptly repair, re-
construct, or remove same, failing in which, after notification in
writing of ten (10) days, said Board may do or cause the same to
be done at the expense of the said party of the first part and for
which expense and cost the said party of the first part shall be liable.

(6) The said party of the first part herein binds himself to
hold said party of the second part and said city harmless from any
and all claims for damages growing out of the existence, maintenance
or use of said track, and to pay any judgment, with costs, that may

in defending against any such claims.
