AGITATION FOR NEW MI HERE REVIVED

Judge Blankenbaker Mentioned as Probable Occupant of Bench if Plan Works.

The agitation for a third countycourt which has not been heard for some time has been revived and it is reported that Felix Blankenbaker stands the best chance of being appointed to the bench of the new court.

The plan is to have the court relieve the work in both of the present county courts, the Circuit and Superior, and those familiar with the matter express the belief that the court could be conducted at an expense of between $10,000 and $15,000 a year.

Some time ago the matter was up but the commissioners stood out against any preliminary plans for the •creation of the new court until the county tax rate had been lessened in other respectes. The matter would have to be the subject of special legislation and those behind the enterprise hope for the election of such officials

tas

would look favorably on the new court. The commissioners held that the court expenses of the cotinty were at present high enough and that the Circuit and Superior Courts, which have lately been relieved by the creation of the Probate Court, were not excessively taxed with work and that the normal court processes of the county were not unduly delayed. Opposition from this source headed off the enterprise at least temporarily.

Now those behind the new court project hope for the election of officials who will support their plans. One or two others have been mentioned for the judgeship, but Felix Blankenbaker's name is most frequently heard in this sconnection.

SUPPLIES FOR NAVY HIGHER.

Some Articles so Scarce That Dealers Fail to

Brd.

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—Bids for food supplies for the United States navy just received here are much higher than those of last year. Some of the items callcd for, such as beans and corn, are so scarce that many firms which usually bid "for these contracts did not compete.

Only two Arms bid on the string bean contract and offered to fill only part of the order of 600,000 pounds. One firm offered to supply 270,000 pounds for $22,120. The lowest bid for l,i40,000 pounds of canned corn was $S5,174, while 2,305,000 pounds of canned tomatoes were offered for $112,945.

One of the largest items on the list was 640,000 pounds of canned peaches which were offered-at $51,319.
