Would consolidation or elimination of townships reflect In decreased costs? This is a question frequently raised. That the 1X18 township trustees would' return a negative, answer Is evident from the celerity they have displayed In repelling all proposals Imposing strictures on township government.

On the other hand, however, economists In general foresee considerable savings If the township should pass out of existence. The most notable instance of this kind is found the report of the Indiana rural education survey made In 1928, In report, made by experts. It was estimated that by making the county. Instead of the township, the educational unit that a saving of more than $5X00X00 could be achieved in school costs alone. This was followed by a tract published by Benjamin.

J. Burris, then state superintendent of public Instruc Uon. Jn which he set forth the economic edrantages of the county unit system. Weald rrevlde QaaaUty Baring. "It would." he said, "provide ninety 1 two agencies for the purchase of school supplies and equipment.

Thus ninety two agencies would act in lieu of the 1X18 purchasing agencies under the township system. Under this plan supplies and equipment could be a. AV mjj m. tin a. bought In greater quantities, thus ef fecting a substantial saving.

"It would make possible the location of new school buildings so as to facilitate the maximum enrollment, which in turn would result in obtaining the maximum of teaching service. In other words, each teacher would be given a fun teaching load, with respect to classes and class enrollment. "The adoption of the county unit system would tend to develop a more uniform school system at the lowest possible cost consistent with the needs of the community." However, the legislatures of 1922 and 1925 frowned on county unit proposals after vigorous opposition by the township trustees and little was heard of the agitation until the question "of decreased costs of government became dominant in the 1931 session. In that session, too. little attention was paid to the position occupied by the township, two bills aimed at its existence falling by the wayside.

IN GAS ACTION JUNE 9 A. Williams, Receivership Plaintiff, Haxy on Purpose. CITIZENS COMPANY ISSUE Answers and motions proposing to outline the issues in a suit by Allen 128 North Drexel avenue, asking appointment of receivers for the Citizens Oas Company and its leasehold corporation, the Indianapolis Gas Company, will be argued In Marion county superior court June before Judge Joseph R. WUllams. Judge Williams late Friday refused to take summary action on the re ceivership requests and announced that ample time should "be given on.

the suit, which was filed by William V. Hooker, attorney for Williams, It was filed In March. 1930. but has been held in abeyance because of federal court litigation over the city's title to the Citizens Oas Company. The United States supreme court on May II upheld the city's rights by refusing to review the decisions of the lower federal courts.

Wmiams, tha plaintiff, who Is a clerk for the Modern Woodmen of America, appeared a little haxy as to the purpose of the suit when Interviewed by a reporter for The News. I guess you had. better see Mr. Hooker about that." aaldWlSiams. "He's a pretty shrewd fellow and would know what the purpose Is.

When asked whether he. of his own accord, instituted the suit. Williams replied that the theory of it had been developed Jointly by Rooker. 8eth Ward, associate attorney, and him sclf i All we got to mind," said Williams, "Is to see that this here property goes to the city free of cost just like the contract of 1905 said It should. "Better See Reoker.

Asked whether the attempt in his suit to have the lease between the Cltireru and Indianapolis Gas Company broken might not rob the Citl rens Company of one of its most valuable assets and set up a competing company, Williams said he did not think the suit would do that, "but you'd better see Mr. Rooker on that." When Mr. Rooker was asked as to who originated the suit and the purpose of it, he replied, that Williams is the plaintiff, "and we have gone through all these records and contracts and we expect to have all the relations betweer, these two com anies brought out." Rooker said he was Interested pri jnarily to having receivers appointed. I and added that the matter of dam Continued Page 4. rati 2.

ANSWERS MOTIONS One introdncecl by Representative Jacob Weiss. Indianapolis, would have abolished the townships and. transferred theirwduties to the counties. while another Introduced by Senator Lonzo It. Shun, of SharpsvUle; Addi son Drake.

Fairbanks; Alonao I Lind Iry, Kingman, and Oliver Holmes, would have authorized county com missioners to abolish and consolidate townships. Neither, however, advanced from their respective bouses, but each serves to stimulate Interest In proposals for consolidations as an economy move, There Is a law. enacted In 1919. which authorizes county commission err to alter or abolish township lines on petition of a majority of the rest dents in the townships affected, but it has seldom been used. It would, it is pointed out.

scarcely meet the situation if general abolishment was contemplated. The township unit as it now exists came into form in 1852. and in 1859 the trustee was confirmed in the powers he largely exercises at the present: Under that law the county commissioners had power to make such alterations in township boundaries as "they may deem proper." but by an act of 1919 they were forbidden to make changes except on petition of the citizens. Indiana One ef 11 States. Curiously enough Indiana Is only one of eleven states which adhere to the township system as developed in this state.

The others comprising what is known as the south central group are Pennsylvania. Ohio, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri. Arkansas, North Dakota. South Dakota. Kansas and Oklahoma Six states in the New England group still cling to the tows type of local govenment; twenty five states in the southern and far western group use the county type exclusively, and six states in the north central group use a county township combination.

The township, tracing its lineage back to the ancient German mark, came Into being in Indiana when roads were poor, transportation was primitive and communication difficult. There was need then, as historians point out, for the government to re main close to the people. Thus the township assumed an importance which has largely been eliminated by modern advancement. In those days a trip. to the county seat was Vtter moment; now It is only a question of an hour, or even a few minutes.

The county seat and it wren might be said the state government no longer can be regarded as being remote from the people. Many Indiana taxpayers are giving the consolidation Idea serious consideration at this time in the hope of seeing the sentiment crystalized into action. BONDHOLDERS STILL WORK ON CAR PLAN Committee Will Inform' Mayor Sullivan Monday. DETAIL AS YET UNCERTAIN Representatives from security holders committees of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company Saturday that they proposed to can on Mayor Reginald B. Sullivan Monday for the purpose of informing him and the city that the security holders are working out a reorganization plan that wiH take the railway company out of receivership.

Details of the reorganization plan will be announced in about ten days, they asserted. Irving W. Lemaux. chairman of one of the bondholders committee, said it was too' early to announce the exact terms of the reorganization plan or the sum that would be spent in re habilitation of the city car lines and transportation system, because a rough draft of the proposals had not yet been gone over by members of the committees living in eastern cities and their suggestions received. "We can not say at this time what the program of the reorganized company win Mr.

Lemaux asserted, for there3 may be numerous changes made tn our plan as it stands today. "We can not say what the requirements of the new company will be and can not assert positively that the final plan win not Involve changes in rates of fare. Row much is to be spent in rehabilitation is an uncertainty. About all we know for certain is that the new money, which will go into reorganization Of the company, will have to be raised by the present security holders. Mr.

Lemaux said committee members were considering an invitation to Charles W. Clase. president the Gary Street Railway Company, who was an active figure in the promo Uoa of the IrmiH plan for reorganization, to come to Indiana pons as manager of the Indianapolis railway. The XnsuH reorganization r' asking a senrice at cost franchise from the city, was rejected by a special committee which conducted public hearings last fall because of the conditions it would have imposed on citizens and street ear riders.

Investigation of the slaying of Charles Crawford, wealthy politician, and Herbert Spencer, magazine editor for which David H. Clark, former district attorney, is held, centered today on Los Angeles politics. Having formally charged Clark with the murders, Buron Pitts, district attorney, expressed the belief that the motive behind them would be found in city politics and announced a grand Jury investigation would be asked.

Spencer and Clark, the latter, a candidate for a municipal Judgeship in the June elections.

Clark refused to answer questions about the shooting. Clark, whose campaign was opposed by Crawford and Spencer was acquainted, detectives said, with June Taylor, owner of a small downtown hotel.

Police said she had a record on morals charges. Spencer's magazine, the Critic of Critics, purported to expose vice activities. Pitts said information had come to him Clark had attempted to reconcile Spencer's publication, alleged to be Crawford's mouthpiece, and tbe "other interests. 4 In the County JaU, Clark waited calmly a preliminary hearing Thursday. Authorities said a possible frameup against Clark, with Mist Taylor figuring in it.
