STREET DEAL
APPROVED BY BOARD
Officials Say Traction Company Probably Anticipated Incessant Litigation In the Matter.
Referring to the dropping of the claim to Cherry street by the traction company, Charles P. Mancourt, city controller, and acting mayor, said Thursday morning: "In my estimation it was a very satisfactory settlement, and the only way out of the matter. It was action which should have been taken under the circumstances. The traction company is no better than any individual, and for that reason is entitled to no more privileges than any individual. It is my opinion that they foresaw litigation in the event they should have built a station, and used the street, as was proposed, for the question would ha/ve arisen as to the legality of the city turning a street over to anyone." "I feel that the citizens of Terre Haute have what thej want in the matter now," said President "William White, of the board of works, "for it became evident that the traction company did not intend t:o build a new terminal station on the site, and the time they promised to have the building up has long since elapsed."
Seek to Collect Taxes.
Following the setting aside of the vacation of the Cherry street by the agreed judgment County Treasurer Thomas J. Dailey Thursday said every effort would be made toy the treasurer's office to collect the delinquent taxes which the traction company has owed the city during the time that it has held the property. The total amount due the city from the traction company during the time that It has had possession is $3,833.20. This amount will be collected with the 1915 tax levy and in advent the company does not pay, will be regarded as a lien against the property of the company in this city.
The company has occupied Cherry street since 1911 and during this time has not paid a cent of tax on the property, in fact this has been the first year that a levy has been made on the property at all, Dailey said.
Louis P. Seeburger, county assessor, assessed the property recently and put it on the tax duplicate for the coming year.
Councilman Otto McVlck, who was a councilman during the Gerhardt administration, said Thursday he wished to correct the impression that Cherry street had been given to the traction company by the council, during the Gerhardt administration. Mr. McVlck declared the street had been given by the board of public works.
ECHO OF BATT.
Complaint Based on Opinion of Former City Attorney.
The suit for the recovery 3f Cherry street was filed by former City Attorney Charles S. Batt, it having always been his contention that the city could not make a present of its streets to anyone. ,This conclusion he reached after the study of all the cases that he could find in reports of the various states, jf cases similiar. It was, how

DRY SCALY SKIN ALL (M BODY
And Head of Child. Some Places Large As Quarter. In a Month Entirely Well.
HEALED BY CUTICURA SOAP AND OINTMENT
"One of my children was affected with skin trouble for six months. It was all over her body and on her head. It started in the form of a little red spot. It would then dry and scale off and leave an angry red spot.
Then it would scale off again and just keep on that way. Some of the {daces were as large as a quarter and they looked terrible. "Finally I tried Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I bathed
her every day, sometimes oftener, with the Cuticura Soap and then rubbed In the Ointment. I could see an improvement in a short time and in a month she was entirely well." (Signed) Mrs. L. 8. Johnston, Box 102, SedaUa, Ohio, Jan. 1, 1915.

ever, impossible to find an exact case like this one, because no such case had ever arisen before.
In the complaint filed In the Buit, which covered some fifty pages of closely typewritten matter, It was contended that the city owned and controlled its streets, Including Cherry street, and that this street was dedicated for a public purpose and belonged to the city for the use of all the citizens and could not be withdrawn from the purpose for which it had been dedicated, and given over to any person or to a corporation and that the act of the former board of works in declaring the street vacated had exceeded its authority and power, and that their action in so doing was null and void, and not binding upon the city, and he asked the court to declare the act null and void, and to officially declare Cherry street a part of the streets of the city of Terre Haute and not the property of the traction company. He also charged that If the action was legal In the beginning that it could only be based upon a contract of the traction company to build an interurban station on the ground and that the traction company had forfeited Its right to hold the street by violating the contract and asked for either a return of the street to the city or payment of damages in the sum of $50,000.00.
However, Mr. Batt always contended that there never was nor could there be any passing of Cherry street to the traction oDmpany, as he claimed the city possessed no power to give it to them.

Needs Are Greatest in Autumn
And We Have Never Been So Well Prepared
There's scarcely a man, woman or child living who does not require new autumn and winter apparel scarcely a home anywhere that would not be more comfortable or more cheerful with some new rugs or draperies. These are the months of greatest activity, the time when a store's service is put to the test. This Store is fulfilling every demand in the most satisfactory manner—serving the public just a little better, we believe, than ever before. We also believe our customers obtain certain very definite advantages—chief of which is our decidedly lower prices for merchandise of standard quality. Careful and continued comparison will prove the truth ot tiiis—a material saving in the course of the year.
