The Ligonier Banner . Established 1856 ’ Published hy THE BANNER PUBLISHING CO. W. C. B. Harrison, Editor - M. A. Cotherman, Manager e e Published every Monday and Thursday end entered the Postoffice at Ligonier. Indiana, as second class matter. N IS \"—;l‘T USUAL? Is it usual for a-big corporation to retain in its employ a general manager who has shown himself incompetent to make good? : Ligonier is a corporation with a capital stock of over three million dollars. , Its busines to be satisfactory should be handled with the same economy as that of any large business. But a survey after eight years of the present general managers shows a greatly increased bonded indebetedness, a tax levy almost double that of the last two democratic administrations, in spite of a much greater valuation, but improvements have not been made to justify the excessive expenditures. For example, just take a look at the condition of teh Cavin street pavement or in fact any street in Ligonier, as you are on your way to your voting place. . Water rates have been doubled but still the water works is-not self sustaining. . - The business of the city has been conducted in an extravagant mannev. On this record the republii:an party asks the voters to continue it in office which would mean four years more of mismanagement and perhaps an even higher tax rate. : No private business would retain such a general manager. Then why should the City of Ligonier do go. It is not usual. . g Mrs. John O. Slutz who was called to Akron, Ohio by the death of a relative remained after the funeral to visit.

550 MILES OF PAVING NEXT YEAR

State Highway Board Get In Readiness For Extensive Program For Coming Year :

At least 550 more miles of paving in Indiana is the aim of the state highway department for 1930, Director John J. Brown said. Contracts for 6514 miles will be let November 2§. The first letting of the 1930 program was held a few weks ago when contracts were awawrded for nearly 95 miles of paving. - The November lettng is important in that one project deals with developing an -intersecting road to aid in distribution of traffic in the Calumet region; another will create a widerl highway to carry heavy nothern Indiana traffic, and another—a grading project—may involve constructing a 9275 foot tunnel in southern Indiana to improve U, S. highway 50 in Martin county. ~ To (elebrate Centennial of Citizen The centennial celebration of birth of Mrs. Salome Myers Wabash county’s oldest resident was held Tuesday ‘at her home near North Manchester. ‘ Pants Burglar Arrested l &Vhiting’s famous pants burglar who turnedout to be Frank Petroff of South Chicago was captured in a running gun battle by police. In his pockets were found a sleeping potion by which he overpowered his victims and master keys that would fit any house in Whiting. It isestimated that in the past two months he has entered a hundred homes carried off that many pairs of trousers and stolen thousands of dollars in cagsh. He was identified by one Whiting citizen as the man who robbed him of his pants and $122. Petroff offered the policeman who arrested him $lOO to release "him.

Martin Withdrawws Appeal.

Prosecutor Probst is authority for the statement that Edward H. Martin operator of the Midway cafe near LaOtto has, dismissed his appeal to the Noble circuit court from the judgment of Special Judge George L. Foote, heard at Kendallville some weeks ago in which Martin was fined $lOO and costs and given a six months’ suspended sentence.

Lights For Horse Drawn Vehicles

“I have found a number of accidents lately,” said Lieut. Wm. Donovan of the state highway police “that have happened because some farmer was driving along the road after night without a tail light or a reflector. This is positively against the law and it looks like nothing short of going after these law violators will remedy matters. There are reflectors now made with 16 square #hches of surface that cost but little and do the work admirably. They are easily transferred from one vehicle to another and every farmer should have one.” Stolen Car Recovered The car belonging to Mrs. Mary Van Aman of Albion that was stolen from in front of the city building at Kendallville last Monday evening was found abandoned at Logansport ‘Lieut. Wm. Donovan of the state police has been advised by onz of his co-workers there. The insuran<e company carrying the car will return it to the owner. Mrs. Van Aman a widow with five children to support by conductiong a beauty parlor is happy to have the car returned to her. Divorced and Married Same Day Mrs. Thaetta L.
