COMMISSIONERS’ COURT IN FEBRUARY SESSION

Charles Kain (vets Contract For Lewis Zick Stone Road—S. C. Irwin Road Bonds Sold. The contract for the construction ol the Lewis Zick stone road in Walker township was awarded to Charles Kain .for the sum of $16,573.86 for the entire system. Bonds ordered issued in the sum of $lB,000.00 Joseph Salrin appointed superintendent of construction. In S. C. Irwin stone road in Barkley township the bonds for same were sold by the county treasurer to the Fletcher American National Bank of Indianapolis, in the sum of $8,112.07.

The appeal of Moody and others from the jndgment of the circuit court denying the right to review the judgment of the circuit court has just been dismissed ; by the higher court. This means' that the late actions by Moody and others to enjoin the superintendent from placing their assessments upon the tax duplicate, are now without foundation and the restraining order recently granted will have to be dissolved. John J. Brefhm, the contractor, will begin the construction of this road early spring. The board has ordered the sale of bonds in the Frank Hill road in Jordan township in the sum of $31,350.00. In the Eib ditch in Hanging Grove township the board has ordered the sale of bonds in the sum of $5,848.95. John Eck and others petition for stone road under the three mile law, Carpenter township, found sufficient and signed by more than fifty resident freehold voters of the township. Cause continued for objections. T. M. Callahan petition for htghway presented and found sufficient. Continued for objections. Ed Oliver, petition for highway filed and continued for notice by publication.

Expense account on Hobbs ditch allowed by board over objections of Northern Indiana Land Company. Northern Indiana Land Co. file appeal bond from the board’s order of allowance. It is Understood that the appeals stay the payment of the claims. The point of dispute in this matter is whether or not the eoupty surveyor is en-' titled to charge for the use of his automobile. The expense account shows that the surveyor is asking pay on this diteh for 558 miles for automobile at 10 cents per mile, also for meals, etc., in addition to the $4.00 per day allowed by statute. The bonds in the Borntrager ditch lhave been sold to C. Shipp & Co., of Indianapolis, at par and accrued interest. The total issue is $63,027.12. Devere Yeoman filed request to be appointed superintendent of roads and for the removal of Sylvester Gray. Continued. This petition was filed under recent ruling of the attorney generall to the effect that the county surveyor shaJl act as such superintendent where there is less than 200 miles of improved highways. This matter will probably go before the circuit court on appeal.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1914.

WILL FIGHT INCREASE TO THE LAST DITCH

Telephone Subscribers Take Steps to' Present Their Side of the Case to Commission. During Wednesday and today the notices sent out by the Public Service Commission to subscribers of the local telephone company continued to Arrive. Every subscriber is notified that the Jasper County Telephone Co. has asked for the privilege of increasing its rates and that a hearing will be had in Rensselaer on Friday, Feb. 27th. ‘The public is greatly aroused at the proposal and there is practically a unanimous clamor to take steps to oppose the increase and it will take effective shape by means of organization and the •employment of counsel not only to oppose the increase but to make demand that steps be taken at once to give Rensselaer and surrounding counter a telephone plant that is not a “junk pile,” but a modern and serviceable utility. The Republican had scarcely reached its first subscribers Wednesday afternoon when telephone calls commending our position began to come in. Others called at The Republican office and stated their willingness to take an active part in behalf of the public’s welfare. * Representative men have virtually said that they will fight the proposed increase'-with great vigor and will see that the member or members of the Public Service Commission who come here for the hearings will find that tlrr Tse»pir are a unit in two things: Fighting the increased rate and Demanding improved service. Rensselaer has passed the “junk pile” stage. The public is for the purpose of giving the people a square deal. Subscribers are notified, just as defendants 1 ' in any case are notified, so that they can defend themselves against this effort to increase rates. Individually subscribers •would be unable to preserit their case in a comprehensive manner. But with a spokesman who has made an investigation we can convince the Public Service Commission that the request of the Jasper' County Telephone Co. is not just and that immediate steps should be taken to see that Rensselaer -is put on the telephone map. The plan suggested by several business men is that one or two attorneys be employed and that a committee of subscribers be also appointed to appear for the entire list of subscribers, procuring their authority in the shape of a proxy. An estimate will be made on the cost of installing a hew and thoroughly adequate plant and the Fublie Servkfc Commission will be asked to allow a rate that will grant a reasonable earning on that investment and not based upon the cost of a new plant and the claimed investment of the present “junk pile.”

A paper will be circulated among subscribers asking each to put up 50 cents to defray the expense of hiring attorneys and doing such other things as are deemed necessary and advisable in fighting the proposed increase and securing improved service. j A professional man called at The Republican office this Thursday morning and stated that during the month of January two expensive things occurred to him because of poor service. A confinement up north in which he had been engaged came to the critical stage in the night. The husband tried to reach the Rensselaer central from several different telephones but could not get through. A telegram was finally sent via Fair Oaks and reached the physician in the morning. The doctor hastened to the home, only to find that the baby had been born dead. His services coulld probably have saved its life.

Soon, after that time a case of the same kind occurred in the night southeast of town. A call was made to the Remington exchange and was promptly answered, but Remington could not get Rensselaer, although a continued effort was made covering a long time. A neighbor was finally asked to come to Rensselaer a distance of ten miles, to secure the doctor. These are only instances and possibly extreme ones, Ibut they are samples of the deplorable service with which Rensselaer and surrounding country has put up for many years. '' If steps are not taken at this time to block this proposed increase and to demand the service to which we are entitled we will find we have been roughly handled and that it will he difficult to ever secure respectable service at a fair rental * • It will probably cost each of us
