INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26,1930 COUNTY PLAZA CHURCH PLANS FALLING FLAT •Balk’ on Original Promise, Prepare to Ask State to Buy Edifices. CHARGE ‘DOUBLE-CROSS’ John Shearer Is Accused by Legion Officials for Failure. Plan of Marion county commis sioners to purchase two churches on the Indiana War Memorial plaza has been abandoned and the pur chase burden eventually may fall entirely on the state, board members indicated today. With a price of $1,285,190 fixed on the two edifices—the First Baptist and the Second Presbyterian churches board members have “balked” ip their original plan and are preparing to ask the state legis lature to make the purchase a state wide proposition, it was learned. Since an appraisal board fixed the price more than three months ago, the board has received a deluge of “remonstrances” carried in personal letters of some of the city's most prominent figures. Legion Hopes Are Blasted Hopes of the American Legion to have the edifices removed by 1933 in time for the national convention, probably in the city, will be blasted. Charge of “double cross” has been hurled at Commissioner John E, Shearer by high legion officials. Shearer made the purchase ques tion a plank in his successful race for renomination, publicly announc ing purchase would be made “im mediately.”- Today Shearer said, “I haven’t said I was going to buy them, have I.” George Snider, veteran member of the board, said he will refuse to place the burden of purchase on Marion county taxpayers. Will Not Sign Bonds “The legislature should make every county pay its share of the expenses,” Snider declared. He added further he will not sign purchase bonds. Before bonds are offered for sale they must be signed by each member of the board. Snider fixed a “fair" estimate price as $900,000. Board members of each church have expressed willingness to sell at the $1,285,000 figure. The Baptist church site, on the southwest corner of the Plaza, com prises 24,082 square feet of ground, was valued at $689,815, and that of the Second Presbyterian, at the southeast corner, includes 18.664 square feet at an appraised valua tion of $595,375.
