COMMISSIONERS NAME TRUSTEES

For the Newton County Hospital end Work Will Be Pushed Ahead. At the December meeting of the board of commUsioners, held Monday at Kentland, the trustees for the Newton county hospital, to be erected at Good land as the result of Henry T. Griggs' generous offer, were appointed. The law required that two trustees be named that were not residents or the township in which the hospital i* to be erected and two that do reside in the same township where the hospital is to be erected. It was Mr. Griggs’ wish that J. T. Hameton and Matt Moran of Goodland be appointed in this township, which was done and that Commissioner George Hillia name one in the north end, and he suggested A. B. Tolin of Colfax township, and he was accepted; then Paul Weishaar of Brook was named as the fourth man to make up the number required. Therefore Paul Weishaar of Brook and A. B. Tolin of Colfax township were the two trustees named outside the township, and John T. Hameton and Matthew Moran were named as trustees from tbiß township. The board of commissioners made a liberal levy for maintenance for the next twenty years and bonded the county for *55,000. The trustees will proceed with the work as rapidly as possible as there will be a whole lot of red tape before building operations can be begun. However, the men now in charge are thoroughly competent and will keep on the Job all the time until the Newton county hospital is completed and ready for use.— Goodland Hprald.
