Workers escaped injury Tuesday night in an explosion at an east-side Indianapolis chemical-distribution plant. Firefighters
were called to the Univar USA building near East 30th Street and Interstate 465 about 9:30 p.m. When they arrived, plant workers
told them a 6,000-gallon tank they were filling with caustic soda exploded. The product remained in the tank, but a sprinkler
pipe was broken during the explosion. Hazardous materials crews also were called.
 

Neighbors who live near Linwood Avenue and East New York Street are upset over a decision by the Indianapolis Public Schools
Board to move ahead with plans to condemn seven houses near School 58. IPS said it might want to tear down the homes to make
room for building improvements and a parking lot at Ralph Waldo Emerson Elementary School. Tuesday night’s vote gave
the district the green light to use eminent domain. IPS Superintendent Eugene White said the current bus-loading system at
the school is dangerous.

More than 70 dogs taken from “hoarders” in Greene County are in need of new homes. The Monroe County Humane Society
took possession of the animals Tuesday after the owners were persuaded to give them up. Two people and the dogs were living
in a single trailer home.  Officials say the residents are animal lovers who thought they were helping the dogs. The
animals are in relatively good health and were moved to Bloomington because Greene County’s animal shelter is too small
to handle them. Fox59 will have more at 4 p.m.
