COMMISSIONERS' ACT 0\ RECMENDATION OF BOARD OF CHARITIES AND COR­

RECTIONS

The County Commissioners have taken action on the recommendation of the County Board of Charities and Corrections, in regard to the care of the orchard at the poor farm. There are over a hundred trees in the orchard, and they are in need of pruning and other care, and following their recent visit of inspection, the Board made a written report to the Commissioners, setting out that the orchard was badly in need of care. The Board of Commissioners contracted with E. A. Henbv, who agrees to prune the trees and take care of the brush and spray the trees four times during the season for $55.00. This was much lower than anyone else offered to do the work, one man asking 40 cents a tree for the pruning alone.

The Commissioners also let the contracts for supplies at the poor farm, J. Ward Walker company securing the contract for dry goods and Harry G. Strickland for the groceries.

Ramsey Sells Property Dr. R. B. Ramsey has sold his nice residence properly in the south part of this city on West Tague street, to Samuel B. Adams, of Indianapolis. Mr. Adams is general passenger agent for the Norfolk & Western Railroad Company. He has purchased the property for a suburban home. The family consists of Mr. and Mrs. Adams and three children, and they will move to the property about April 6lh.

Lon Williams has been awarded the contract for erecting fence at the poor l'arm. Ray Hooton was given the contract for papering and calsomining two rooms for the janit or at the court house, and some rooms at the poor asylum.

Miss Margaret Barrett has i*eturned from the hospital at lndianapolis, and her condition is thought to be improved.

Miss Kate Watson has returned from a visit with relatives at Morris town.

Said to Be in Deplorable Condition With Many Leaks, and a New Roof is Very Expensive.

"-*'*-*!,r|«yfv("s"o

N

The County Commissioners are facing an embarrassing problem in the condition of the court house roof, which is causing them much concern and worry.

Although less than twenty years have passed since this splendid building was erected, the roof, which is of tile, is said to be in a deplorable condition and the evidence of this condition is not hard to find, as the ceilings are discolored in many of the rooms, and are like sieves in places where the water pours down after rains, or when snow melts. Pans and buckets are used to catch this water in the third floor hall. «the judge's room and other places.

The roof has been repaired time and again at a great expense, but the repairs either cannot be made permanent, or leaks break out in new places in the tile roof. Anyway, the fact remains that the roof seems to be in a very bad condition and all efforts to make it good have been unavailing.

The commissioners have had the matter on their minds for a long time, and are now considering what action would be to the best advantage regarding the necessary protection of the building. They are face to face with the proposition that something must be done soon or the interior of the great building will be damaged to an extent as great or greater than the necessary repairs will cost, it is said.

The situation is an embarrassing one to them, however, as a new

While the commissioners are slow to make up .their minds to expend so much money for the

needed repair, they are still unable

lo side-step the issue that something will have lo be done in the near future that will protect the interior of the court house, and that that something, whatever it is, will cost a large sum of money. While to expend the amount of money that will be necessary to make this repair, after only twenty years have passed since the building was erected at an immense cost, would probably cause a storm of protest from the taxpayers, the commissioners feel that no blame

CUT DOWN THE NUMBER OF DEPUTY ASSESSORS

The county commissioners have decided on the number of deputies the nine assessors will be allowed to employ. There are thirteen in all, by townships as follows: Blue River, I Brown, 1 Brandywine, 1 Buck Creek, 1 Center, 3 Green, Jackson, 1 Sugar Creek, 2, and Vernon, 2. These, with the assessors, will make a total of twentythree to assess the personal property this year, a reduction over the number heretofore used.

Alex Osbon, of Route 4, was in Greenfield Saturday. He said that he did not think he ever saw so much snow, so strong wind lind so cold weather all at one time. He said the blizzard served him a mean trick that lie had a Plymouth Rock Hen which was 12 years old that was frozen lo death. She was •rippled when a small chicken and on account of her affliction he had noticed her and remembered her ape. Sunday evening the old hen, e\ idently anticipating the coming storm, attempted to go into the barn but Mr. Osbon drove her out, and she became a victim of the blizzard.
