A trustee up In Kosciusko county has raised a question that is of interest to the people of every township in the state. For years it has been the custom in Kosciusko, as well as many other counties in the state, for the township in which a new bridge was built to pay $75 towards its construction and the county paying the remainder. Trustee Wlltrout, of Kosciusko county, has brought suit to recover the money paid on seven bridges built recently, claiming that the law requiring the townships to help pay for the bridges built by the county, w r as repealed by a law passed in' 1905 and all such payments made since that time have been illegal. If such is the case it may be that counties will be compelled to refund to the township all such moneys paid in the last five years. In many counties this would amount to a considerable rum and further developements will be watched with interest.—Walkerton Independent.
