Dawaid took issue with the way in which an elevator was ordered for the county court house. He felt that too tittle time was given to the matter, and that the action by the judge was precipitous, and “jammed down upon the Adams County Commissioners and the Adams County Council . . . A careful consideration of this matter would show that nothing is farther from the truth. First of all, both the editor of the Decatur Daily Democrat and the editor of the Geneva Progress are in agreement on the decision — that an elevator is needed. The difference is solely over whether or not enough time was given for the commissioners and county council to reach a decision. It must be understood, to start with, that this was not a precipitous action. For many years attorneys have felt that justice was miscarried because of the lack of proper methods to get jurors, witnesses, and litigants to the court room. We can well recall how the late Ed Bosse pleaded with county comissioners—ten years ago—to put in an elevator. In an article this month, entitled “Let’s lift the barriers”, Miss Joan Schaub, of the Indiana state board of health, points out that 140,000 people in Indiana have limited mobility, and need elevators; that 6,250 Hoosiers are in wheel chairs; 125,000 heart patients; 5,000 with heavy leg braces; 3,500 with artificial limbs; 450,000 who are over 65, and should not climb steep stairs. Attorney Bosse is no longer with us — nor are many others, all of whom felt the same way—- — Adams, Henry B. Heller, and many, many more. County commissioners have come and gone, county councils have met and adjourned — and still no action was takein. Yes, it is unusual when a circuit court judge has to order something done — but was it really unnecessary and “not in accord with the best American legal principles and practices,” as Dawaid charges? We think is was a courageous and necessary action on the part of the judge. In fact, if anything, we have all waited tob long for this. The county council and county commissioners, as guardians of the public purse, are frequently slow and hesitant to see needed improvements that will cost money. Os course we all believe in economy — so Jet’s make certain that public bids, at reasonable figures, are made on the new elevator. Editorial Writer Today Dick D. Heller, Jr.
