Cambridge City, Ind., April 6. The
business men of Cambridge City are
dissatisfied with the proposed removal
of the postonice from its present lo
cation to a building which Postmaster
Guyton intends to erect just west of
the Iiig Four tracks on Main street,
on a lot which he has purchased of
Mrs. Henry Kothe.
The patrons of the postoffice declare
that the office is not any too centrally
located now and a further removal
from the central part of the city would
greatly inconvenience them. They
will appeal to the postoffice depart
ment at "Washington in an effort to
have the office remain in the present
location, the Swiggett block.
The government quarters at present
are not large enough to accommodate
the rural route carriers but the busi
ness men think with some changes it j
could be made to answer the needs
till a better place could be found.
IT WOULD BE VALUABLE.

If the opinions voiced at the .meet

sociation Friday night are heeded' ul
timately, all that territory west of the
river will be divided into two separ
ate wards by the city council. The
meeting held Friday night was a rous
pr from the point of enthus'asm.
Ceorge Matthews was authorized to
circulate a petition among the resi
dents of West Richmond, favoring the
division and this probably will be pre
sented to the city council at it's i-ext
meeting. The opinion on the est
Side, both in West Richmond and in
Kaii-vicw, is practically unanimous in
favor 'of the move. The Fairview
civic league placed its stamp of ap
proval on the plan at its meeting
Thursday night when it likewise au

of Fairview.

Did you notice the smug, contented
expressions on the countenances of
the patrolmen of the Richmond police
force? They have been wearing it all
day.
Friday evening at the monthly
meeting of the board of police com
missioners the subject of increasing
the salaries of the patrolmen, patrol
driver - and v6eeoHd Serjeant JTietzold
came up and after some discussion it
was voted to increase the salaries of
the patrolmen and patrol driver Liv
elsberger from $60 to $70 per month
and to raise the salary of Sergeant
Betzold, the veteran and efficient
night sergeant, from $63 to $75 per
month.
The salary increase goes into ef
fect the first of May and on May 31
the policemen affected by the change
will receive their first checks with
the $10 increase. First Sergeant Mc
Manus will still continue to receive
$75 per month for his services and
Chief Bailey will continue to collect
his $1,200 per year.
News is not Pleasing.
The decision of the police board to
boost the salaries of the police officers
is not the best of news to the city
officials. Mayor Schillinger, his cabi
net and the city council do not favor
this plan on account of the crimped
condition of the municipal purse,
which is not broken but badly bent.
However, the power of the police
board under the metropolitan law is
supreme so far as the police depart
ment is concerned and if the police
commissioners rule that the patrol
men receive increased salaries it is
up to the city officials to obey the
edict, even if the city hall has to be
sold to meet the expense. The com
missioners advanced the police offi
cers salaries for the reason that de
sirable men can not be secured or re
tained on the force under the scale of
wages which has been in effect for
some time.
Friday evening the resignation of
Edward" Stein, appointed to the force
about two weeks ago, was tendered
to the commissioners and was accept
ed. No appointment was made to fill
the vacancy made by Mr. Stein's resignation.

-The Situation Becomes of
More Acute Nature.
It will be two weeks Monday tlnrf
council decided on the North. Twenty
third street route, as the one over
which the traction company should op
erate its freight cars through the city.
Up to this time not a word has becu
heard from the officials of the com
pany other than the route selected wa
undesirable, and that the company
would not operate its freight cars on
Twenty-third street.
"It's. not up to the city to break the
silence," say. President Merrill, of the
board, City Attorney Study and other
city officials. It is not known what
the exact objections the company offi
cials have to the Twenty-third street
route, for they have volunteered no
statement. What course the company'
will pursue is also a matter of doubt
but the city Is not worrying. It has
stated its terms and the company must,
come to them or get nothing.
Situation Now Acute.
Now that a through traction sysrem
from Toledo to St. Louis has been pro
posed by President Hugh McGowan.
the local situation becomes an acute
one to the officials of the system, as
the new line runs , through this city.

Will Company Eat Crow?
It is humiliating to a corporation,
whose combined wealth runs way Int
the millions, that it should be blocked
and checkmated by ten councilmen of
a small Indiana city and this unique
spectacle is being watched with the
keenest interest by traction and rail
road people all over the country. The
Question asked is. "Will the McGowan
system eat crow and come to the term-
of the city of Richmond?" It is the
general impression that the company
will obey the edict of the local coun
cil or change its plans so that Rich
mond will not be reached by the lines
of the system, which is hardly proba
ble, as it would mean the abandonment
of the Indiana &, Eastern and the Day

"Are the local shippers becoming im

ident Merrill was asked.
"We have -not received a kick from

that they are living up to their agree
ment to stand back of the city until
