Steward was re-appointed fire warden for the ensuing year. Vote was taken on appropriating lhe sum of |5 per month to the

Citizens Cornet Band during such time as they give open air concerts, not exceeding 6 months. Councilmen Dean Kannal and McColly voted in the affirmative, and Eger, Chilcote and Porter in the nega five. This made a tie, the mayor east hisvote in the affirmative and lhe resolution was adopted. The members voting against this proposition, as we understand it, did •o because they thought the council had no right to appropriate money for any such purpose, and ■ot that they wore opposed to the concerts, in fact Councilman Eger gave the band S2O out,of his own pocket a few days ago and Chilcote gave $5. An ordinance fixing the salaries of city officers was adopted under suspension of rules, there being bo change from last year except that the nightwatch was raised from S2O to s2l per month, and no allowances was made for water and light committee, composed of Cboncilman Eger, Chilcote and

COMMUNICATED.

Our County Indebtedness $153,635. Ed. Democrat: I see by my daily that the taxpayers of Shelby county are making a great ado over their county being in debt $120,000 and addditional bondp of $25,000 likely to soon be issued. Two of the commissioners, who were in office when this indebtedness was made have, on account of public complaint, been forced to resign. It appears to a Jasper county taxpayer that these Shelby county people are wont to make ranch trouble over a little matter. Why, our county, with ten millions less valuation, or less than half the taxables of Shelby, is swimming right along with an indebtedness of $152,625, and our commissioners do not think of resigning! By reference to the State Statistician’s bulletin No. 10, March W, we see that Shelby county failed to report “on debt,” but Jasper’s figures are there and among the very largest in the state, as compared with wealth and population.
