Removal of homeless orphans and drainage lake ruling
The Indianapolis Sentinel urges the current legislature to free homeless orphan girls unjustly jailed in the Girls Industrial School and to prevent repeat of the wrong. It notes Special Judge Deahl’s decision on drainage lanes blocking fresh water lake drains and the resulting property and military implications. If Dean’s ruling stands it would earn public gratitude from many farmers facing lake drainage damage.
