INTRODUCTORY.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND PARKS.
Indianapolis takes pride in the public buildings within her borders. The greatest of these is the State House, a marvel of beauty and solidity which cost, built with the most scrupulous care and most exact- ing honesty, $2,000,000; a County Court House, $1,600,000; Tomlinson Hall, in which all large popular assemblages meet, capa- ble of seating nearly 5,000 persons; a new Union Station, $1,000,000; the finest Soldiers' Monument in the world, costing nearly half a million, and towering to such a height that it can be seen for miles; the Central Hospital for the Insane, with 1,600 patients and nearly 400 employes, a little city in itself; the State Institute for the Blind; the State Insitute for the Deaf and Dumb; the Women's Prison and State Re- formatory for Women and Girls; a City Hospital the equipment of which is second to none in the West. There is great ac- tivity in medical and surgical art and there are a dozen sanitoriums in which patients are cared for. In the residence portions of the city the houses are not crowded to- gether as in mest cities. Each residence, from the statliest mansion to the humblest cottage has its own front and back yards separating it from its neighbors. In most of the streets all fences have been removed, thus permitting the beautiful and well kept lawns to join together. This gives a suc- cession of little parks and makes a favor- able impression upon visitors.
The city is now beginning to pay more at- tention to the subject of public parks. There are three public parks north of Washington street. They are small but are pretty breathing spots. These are Mil- itary, Blind Asylum and University Parks, the first named and largest containing fourteen acres, the others being the dimen- sions of a single city square bounded by four streets.
On the southern edge of the city is Gar- field Park, a tract containing over eighty acres. This is now being adorned and beautifled. It bids fair to be a place of ex- ceeding beauty, as the ground has great natural advantages. The tract is graceful- ly rolling, a good part of it covered with native forest trees. There are broad drive- ways, winding walks for pedestrians and rustic seats for the weary. Among the at- tractions is a good-sized and very pretty lake formed by the confluent waters of Pleasant Run and Bean Creek, two pic- turesque little streams that meander through the park from east to west.
There are also two large parks on the north side of the city which, though open to the public, are of private ownership. One of these is the Armstrong Park and the other Fairview Park, the last named being the property of the Citizens' Street Railroad Company. The company is con-
stantly adding to the attractions of this place, which has great natural beauty and is capable of a high degree of adornment. This park is a succession of delightful wooded knolls, which rise above the val- ley which is to the west and north and overlook a most charming prospect of wa- ter, fields, meadows and woodland.
BANKS AND FINANCE.
The city has four national banks, Indi- ana National, Merchants' National, Meri- dian National and Capital National, and three private banks, S. A. Fletcher & Co., the State Bank of Indiana and the Bank of Commerce. These institutions have an ag- gregate capital of $5,000,000 and transact business on the most conservative princi- ples. Indianapolis has no savings bank for the wage earner, its place being taken by building and loan associations which, thus far, have been signally safe and profitable to investors. During the past ten years these institutions have added hundreds of thousands of dollars to the tangible wealth of the community and have built up scores of new additions with cosy and beautiful homes for working people. These associ- ations now exceed one hundred and their aggregate capital is $10,000,000.
FIRE AND POLICE.
The fire and police departments of Indi- anapolis have been wholly removed from politicai influences and are now strictly non-partisan. The head of these two branches of the public service is the Board of Public Safety, consisting of three mem- bers, only two of whom may belong to the same political party. The membership of the two forces is divided equally between the two great political parties. The effect of this policy in the fire department has been especially good, and the department has an efficiency second to none in the country. The force is small considering the area it is required to protect, the territory being about twenty-one square miles. Dur- ing the past year this city has had no large or disastrous fires. The streets are wide and only twice in the history of the city has a fire succeeded in crossing a street. There are seven steam engines, three chemical engines, eleven hose wagons, thirteen buildings, 150 miles of fire-alarm wire, 150 fire-alarm boxes, hose, etc. The Indianapolis Water Company (the Holly system) has increased the size of its mains during the year and added materially to the facilities for the protection of property. This company also furnishes the private as well as the public suply of water. Indian- apolis has a better supply of pure water than any city of its size, or larger, in the United States. It is clear, sparkling and beautiful, showing under the investigation of the chemist the highest degree of ex cellence.

INTRODUCTORY.
INDEBTEDNESS, IMPROVEMENTS.
The negotiable indebtedness of the State of Indiana is less than $3,000,000; the in- debtedness of Marion county is about $1,500,000, and that of the city of Indianap- olis about $1,400,000. There is a constitu- tional limitation to the indebtedness of the county and the city. The rate of taxation on property in this city for State, county and city purposes is only $1.67 on the hun- dred dollars.
Up to date the following is an exhibit of the length in miles of ali permanently improved streets in the city:
Streets paved with asphalt. .17.64 miles
Streets paved with brick .. 10.56 miies Streets paved with cedar block ... 1.90 miles Streets paved with macadam .. 2.28 miles
The work completed in 1893 in permanent street improvements was as follows:

REAL ESTATE VALUES.
By the original piat of the city, which embraced four sections of land, the lots were made 6712 feet front by 195 (some 2021/2 feet) deep, and have always been valued by the front foot. If valued by the square foot, as such property is valued in most cities, comparison would show that property is much cheaper here than in oth- er cities of like population. The highest value that the best business property has · attained, independent of improvements, is $2,000 a front foot, about equal to $10 a square foot. Second-class business proper- ty is worth from $500 to $750 a front foot, and the best dwelling property from $75 to $200 a front foot. Residence property ad- joining the city limits is vaiued at from $500 to $2000 an acre, while manufacturing
sites aiong the line of the Belt Railroad can be had at from $250 to $500 an acre. The reason that property within the city limits can be had for such low figures is on account of the city having been located on a ievel plain, with facilities for growth in ali directions, and no one is compeiied to pay an exorbitant price for a choice lo- cation on account of being hemmed in by river, hills or swamps, as is the case in some cities. Rapid transit facilities in this city now make the matter of distance of little consideration, distance being no longer a matter of miles but rather of a few short minutes.
The map of Indianapolis which forms a part of this Directory will be found in every way accurate. It gives the city with aii the recent additions up to date. A cor- rected street directory wili be found at the bottom of the map.
The value and importance of a City Di- rectory meet with universal acknowledge- ment. In a city like this were the publica- tion of such a work to go over for a single year the annoyance and inconvenience that would arise would be simply incal- cuiable.
We feel confident, having given our best thought and energy to the preparation of this volume, that in systematic arrange- ment it is all that could be desired, and that the information it contains may be thoroughly relied upon in every particular.
We desire to express to our patrons our grateful and sincere thanks for their cor- dial support and encouragement, without which we would not have achieved the success that has attended our work.
We have in our office, Nos. 23 and 24 Journal Building, a complete library of Directories of all the principal cities of the United States to the use of which we in- vite our patrons.
