NEWTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE MATTER.

The supreme court on Tuesday heard argument in the Newton county court house, case, participated in by Herman E. Rogers of Morocco and Merrill Moores of Indianapolis for the “autis” and E. B. Sellers of Monticello and Addison C. Harris of Indianapolis for the county commissioners. The question involved is the power of the county council to make an appropriation at a special session of money for building a new court house, the appellants contending that the county reform act does not authorize such action. A decision will be made in a few days.
