Indianapolis's last celebration of Independence day in the traditional way--thunderous echoes of firecrackers and flaring night fireworks- apparently will be an orderly one, police officials said yesterday. Legal sale of fireworks will not begin until tomorrow and fireworks dealers throughout the city have made no effort to jump the gun on their sales, police commented. Although patrolmen had instructions for the last week to arrest any dealers caught selling fireworks, there have been no arrests made, Michael F. Morrissey, chief of police, said. Celebrants, also, seem to be content to await the Fourth of July for their last fling at firing off "four-inchers," skyrockets and similar paraphernalia.

Only a few arrests have been made for violation of the city ordinance prohibiting firing of fireworks before 4 o'clock Tuesday morning. Fireworks "bootleggers" are predicted next year by Chief Morrissey. "As under all laws, there will be those who want to violate them," he said. "People will bring fireworks from other cities to peddle here on the sly." State police, ordered to enforce fireworks bans of the state fire marshal's office, had found few violations, Don F. Stiver, superintendent of the state police, announced.

Total cost of the improvements will be $465,485, with the city providing the balance as sponsor, Mr. Dienhart said. The city's share will be provided as equipment and service, he stated.

The three runways at the port will be extended to at least 4,000 feet. Although this will not be as long as some runways on a few of the nation's major airports, the fact that there are no nearby obstructions will make them "incomparable," Mr. Dienhart said. A 266-acre tract in the airport, which has been used as farm land, will be the CAA's landing field. This tract, on the western edge of the field, will be graded, leveled, sodded and drainage facilities will be provided.

Indianapolis Feeney Offers $25 Swim Sign Reward Sheriff Al G. Feeney yesterday offered $25 reward for first information leading to arrest and conviction of anyone removing, destroying or defacing sheriff's warning signs from unguarded streams, beaches and gravel pits in Marion county. The sheriff's office has placed 225 warning signs at spots regarded as unsafe for swimmers or where the water has been condemned as contaminated by the State Board of Health. More than 50 signs have been destroyed recently, Sheriff Feeney said. "Anyone who destroys such a sign runs the risk of having guilty conscience for the rest of his life if an accident would occur because of his thoughtlessness," Sheriff Feeney reminded.

His statement followed the drowning Friday afternoon of Charles Wishmire in Eagle creek at Mulberry beach, near Vermont street. Signs warning swimmers away from the swift current had been posted by deputy sheriffs but were torn down by vandals before last Friday. POOR PLACE FOR BLAZE.
