BUZZ SAW BRIGADE

ON DOWN TOWN STORE BUILDING

Front of Neil Rooms on Michigan Street Removed by City Marshal Projected on Sidewalk

Did you see the Buzz saw brigade Monday morning? With his force of ten men, Marshal Dan Jacoby roused himself from his delightful slumbers at 5 o'clock Monday morning and proceeded to give the front of the Neil building on North Michigan street, a much needed shave In fact the entire expression of the building was changed, after its countenance was "edged off, a bit." Come to think it over, the law is a terrible thing, isn't it? And furthermore, wnen the city council tells you to do a thing it must be done, mustn't it? Eh-'hch sometimes. It was indeed an amusing sight to see the gang of workmen, engaged in cutting off the front of the Neil building, which happenced to extend three feet on the sidewalk, on Michigan street. Daniel Jacoby wore a wor ried expression, and kept looting in the direction from which 'Mrs. Clara Neil, owner of the building might come. Between the devil, and the deep blue sea was he, not saying however, who t.ie devil .vas. The city council had said "Mrs. Clara Neil, your building, comprising three store rooms, projects tnree feet on North Michigan street. We will give you just sixty days to get those three feet eff the sidewalk, for you are obstructing the view of the Chronicle office, and if you don't get it off in sixty days, then you. Dan Jacoby, city marshal, you get your saw and cut it off." Ecr sixty days the marshal was in suspense. He wondered if the council really meant what it had said. He hoped that Mrs. Neil would be real good and move the old building back, and save him from worry. Sunday February 14th. The time was up. the die must be cast. Ten huskies were iiired and just take a walk down Mihcigan street, if you wish to

BOURBON BUSINESS MEN IN FAVOR OF BUILDING NEW COURT HOUSE

So Declare Themselves to County Councilman Opposed to Making Extensive Improvenents on Old Building.

At the meeting of the County Council Wednesday afternoon, when appropriations were asked for 'ioldin' the special elections, and for amending the appropriation for improving the court. ouse4 a discussion arose among the members of the council relative to the improvement. Some of tfce members seemed in favor of not' spending much money on tthe old building, -which is small, and finished inside largely with wood, and old fashioned. They thought it adviseable to make only such improvements as wer necessary to put the building in good repair for a few years, with an ultimate view of building a ne;v court house for 'Marshall county. Bourbon Men Opposed. -County Councilman Nilas Wolf of Bourbon, stated tf.iat he had made a canvass of all the business men of Bourbon, relative to making extensive improvements on the old court louse. "They were unanimous in their opinion that much money should be expended on the aid court house", said he. "My constituents were all opposed to fhe idea of placing one of t'.-.e county offices in th basement. Some of them have been county officials thenselves, and they said that they would not care to be forced to hold an office in the basement oif the building, and -would not anyone else to do so. They all said t'.iat they thought r.ot much money should be expended in making improvements at this time, but instead the county needed a new court house building within a few yirs, because the present edifice is old-fasihioncd, and in many cespects too sma.ll and inadequate to r.ic grov.ing demands. The business men of Bourbon, thought that the greatest need of all, in the court building, was a vau.1t in which to tore and protect the court books and" records. Of course the records are impossible to replace, should they be destroyed (by fire or otherwise. At present the old records are stored in the basement. I believe with my constituents that provision for their preservation should be maie." Need Larger Library Room. County Attornev iMartindale told the council that one of the greatest needs of the court house at present, was a larger library room. The present room" used for that purpose is almost Mied. New Jaw books are coming in continually and at the present time it is necessary to use a ladder in securing many of the tooks. It will only be a question of a few years until the room will hold no more books, and then some change in this respect will have to be made. It was jropsed that if the elevator and winding stair is ordered to be constructed, that the room now taken up by t'iie main stair landing, could be closed and uttllized far another room, then the library room could be made to include whtu is now the jury room. Report of Architect. The architect wCio has been employed making plans and specifications for the improvements was asked concerning the present condition of the court house. "The masonry and construction work of this building are excellent," said he. "The building could ndt have been more substantial, and it 'would be exceedingly foolish to throw lieh a valuable edifice away. With about $35 000 worr.i of improvements, the building could be

see the sequel to the tale. The front of the building was sawed off all right, and Dan Jacoby is a happy man, because neither his life nor his job has been taken away from him. Says it is Persecution. Mrs. Neil is ill at her home on Water street. She was not aware that her building was being so ruthlessly defaced, until apprised of the fact by reporters about 8:30 o'clock Monday morning. "The council is simply persecuting me," said the aged lady, "ithey have been at me continuallv, first for one thing, and then for another. There are several other buildings in the city, which extend on the sidewalk, and why does not oi r council take such action against them? I have just expended $300 in rephstcring. papering, and repairing those rooms, and now along comes this council, and just because they think they have the right, tears down and destroys my property. They do it because I have no men folks to lock at'ter my interests." When, asked wha action she would take, Mrs. Neil replied that she would send for her son, Edward Neil, who resides at Wakarusa, La., and would consult an attorney. Other Buildings Off. It was said Monday, that '.here are several other buildings in th e city that are eff their plumb, and extend on the sidewalk. Such is said to be the case with the Hiram Shaffer birilding, known as the Kenda.ll block, whichjs 8 feet off, the Metsker build-i-ig in which the Flosinzier saloon is located, the brick building occupied by the Southworth grocery, and the Mattingly block, in which the Postofficc is located. Many think that the council should not snow distinction, and should proceed against all, in the same manner. made modern in every .resipect, and equal to any of the court houses of the surrounding counties. In the esimate which has been .submitted, the improvements have been so arranged that whatever is done in the order named, will toe permanent, and if at any future trme the county council cares to appropriate more, or make further improvements, they can be added and still retain the original implements. Thus the Terazza floor will be a permanent improvement, and will remain even should it be decided to remodel the entire building at some 1ateT date." " What the Improvements Will Be. T.ie county counci! upon motion finally decided to amend the appropriation, to make it include the following improvements which will amount to approximately $15,000. These are the improvements which will be made on the Mairshall county court house, in he near future. Rewiring entire court bldg $ 50) Laying Terrazzo floor on entire 1st floor at 40c per sq. ft $3000 ft of sanitary ba; and marble it $1.1)9 per lineal ft $ 900 $4:00 2nd 100 squares of tile roof at $23 per sq $2800 Kxtra supports & rooting $1000 Copper gutters & valleys $ r00 $4.'50ü 3rd Frescoinj all plastered walls and painting inside and out $1500 4tih 4 illuminating dirds for clock $ I5u 5th Remodeling and changing boiler room into Surveyor's office with 2 stairways $ 700 fith New boiler for court house in one of north rooms of basement .... $2100 7th Toilet rooms for judge's juries' & laclies' waiting rooms on tfnd floor , $ 300 Pay for the architect to be determined by cor.tract between th-.

APPROPRIATION

FOR ELECTIONS COUNTY COUNCIL SETS ASIDE SUM OF $3000 FOR BOTH ELECTIONS. Two Members Voted Against County Option Election Appropriation for C. H. Improvements. At a special session of the county council Wedresday af erno'on,the sum cf 3000 was appropriated for hald'ing the two special elections in Marshall county. $1500 was set aside for each. The Special election to cJect a Representative to succeed the late Wm. L. Sarber will be held tomorrow and the County Local Option election will be held on March 4th. In regard to appropriating money for the improvement of the Court House the council refused to make any additional appropriation to tf.ie $15,000 which was set aside for that purpose at the last session. It was necessary for the council to amend the original appropriation, to make it include payment for the services of the architect who prepared plans and specifications for the proposed improvement, and also to include the construction of three additional toilet rooms on the second floor and fiie sum of $500 for rewiring the Court House for electric lights. The present wiring is said not to conform with requirements of insurance companies. A Do Nothing Legislature. Is this to oe a do nothing legislature? The question grows out of the impression that is rapidly gaining ground that irothing can be done if the assembly doesn't hurry. Thus far the time of tf.ie session has been practically monopolized by two things, the election of a United States sena tor and the seeking of ways and means of escape from the dilemna in which the passage of the local option law at the special session placed the members of the assembly. In the matter of rhe senatcrship the legislature did well, tout as far as finding a way out of the difficulties surrounding the local option situation is concerned the product is nil.' So that the only really important thing accomplished thus far is the election of a senator. With the session more than half over and nofhing to show far it but one United States senator and a few laws of Jocal application the exhibit is hardly satisfactory to the people who are paving the bills. The house has passed no senate 'bills and the senate has passed only three house bills, w'.ile in the senate there are about 300 and in the house about 400 bills delayed in transmission. This is not saying that some of ühem, per. haps many of, them might be perpetually delayed wif.i benefit to the state, but in Ithe mass there ate some deserving attention and meriting a place among (the statutes of Indiana. In the few remaining days of the session it will be incumbent upon he' members of. the legislature to give more substantial evidence of an excuse tor their ofncial existence or go home from Indianapolis on the night trains and keep themselves in seclusion until the incident is forgotten by the people in .'She press of other matters. South Bend Ne:ws. Twin Lake Twinkles. iMrs. Levi Hartman who is seriously Ü1 with pneumonia, remains about the same at this writing. The ice storm which struck our village Sunday, has proven very disastrous to trees, many of the young orchards being totally destroyed. Mrs. C. M.

Carl and wife, Peter Zumbaugh and family and Milton Cook and family, ipent Sunday at the home of John Cook. fMiss Lucy iMoFarUn returned to Plymouth Sunday evening w:cre she is engaged in teaching in the city schools. Lemert Case Continues. The case of State of Indiana versus Francis M. Lemert for blackma.lT continues in the circuit court, and the evidence of witnesses will probably be concluded this afternoon. The contention of F.dward Brundage. the prosecuting witness, is. that on April 20, IMS. the defendant came to the 'vome cf Brundage and by means of threats of arrest on a fictitious charge attempted to extort the sum of $.0 from him. Lemert maintains that the paper upon which he -attempted to collect the money was a judgment of $47.50, on a note, and no affidavit whatsoever. The preponderance of the evidence seems to be in favor of the defendant. All of the parties live in or about Teegarden. The penalty in case of a conviction, is 1 to 14 years in the penitentiary.
