Wet Dry Bryant 16 Mitchell 129 Decatur 32

DECATUR, Ind., March 6. Decatur stayed In the "wet" column yesterday although the majority was cut down from 182 of two years ago to 32. The contest has been bitterly fought by both sides. Both sides had perfect organizations and plenty of funds to carry on the campaign. The "drys" conducted public meetings and speakers were brought In. Until the last few days it was conceded to the "drys," but the "wets" kept up their campaign to the last minute and denied that the contest was lost. At the polls there were lively times. In every precinct challenges were numerous on both sides and in three cases arrests were made for voting without being qualifled as to residences. The three cases will be heard In the court. Washington township, where the city of Decatur is located, flipped from the "wet" column to the "dry" by a majority of 3 votes. The north precinct gave the "wets" 101 and the "drys" 59. In the south precinct 49 votes for "wets" were cast and 94 for the "drys." One saloon will have to suspend business as the result of the township vote.

Porterfield Says Cases Result of Physicians' Carelessness.

There are at present Ive cases of scarlet fever in Boston township of which number four are in the corporation of Boston. Trustee Porterfield of Boston township says that the cases of contagion now in his district are the result of carelessness on the part of the Richmond physicians in not maintaining strict quarantine and for failure on the part of one physician to jiroperly diagnose a case of the disease.

LITTLE EFFECT Oil RICHMOND BY LAW County and City Treasurers Talk on Act Passed by the Assembly.

The law passed yesterday by the state legislature legalizing the transfer of money from the general fund to the street improvement fund will have very little affect on this city according to County Treasurer Chamness and City Comptroller Mc.Mahan. The bill legalizes certain acts of the city treasurers in paying public improvement bonds and interest coupons providing for a method of reimbursing improvement funds by tax levy or appropriations where deficits have arisen in such funds on account of prepayment of installments. The bill provides the right for cities the size of Richmond to levy a tax of one cent on every taxable $100 until a time when the said fund shall meet the deficits of the city improvements. There is approximately $15,000,000 worth of taxable property in Richmond. From this amount the tax of" one cent per $100 would amount to $1,500 per year. The city at present is in debt to the extent of $24,000 on improvements. On the amount $960 interest is paid each year. The gain by the new law to Richmond is $540 each vear. The law

is only to be in effect for ten years j and if the plan will free any city from

debt before that time it has to be abolished. The regular city bonds now out amount to $50,500 besides the improvement and city light plant bonds. This debt is not considered large by the city officials and the treasury of Richmond compares favorably with other cities of the size of Richmond about the state. Another bill which has been passed and received by the officials is the one which states that after an improvement has been approved and recorded by the board of works after thirty days has transpired no objection can be made as to any irregularity with regard to the assessment against proper

INSPECTOR UPHOLDS DMMENJH CITY Flook Says That None Have Taken Tickets From Quarantined Houses.

Dairy Inspector Flook stated today that the charges made by the committee from the West Side Improvement association that the dairymen have been taking tickets .from places quarantined for scarlet fever are untrue and unjust. He characterizes the statements of the West Side people who have been charging that the quarantine laws have been neglected as being the result of their imaginations: Inspector Flook stated that he has questioned closely all the dairymen who deliver milk on the west side

j about taking tickets from quarantined

houses. All of them denied the charge emphatically. He said that he believes that they are telling the truth in the matter as he does not think that any dairyman would subject himself to the contagion, knowing that his license would be revoked if a case of scarlet fever were to be contracted in his family. Mr. Flook said that all the dairies in the city are in excellent condition. No trouble is being experienced with any of the dairymen, with the exception of a few who have neglected to renew their licenses. He stated that all dairymen who have not done this will be notified and asked to do so immediately, as it is against the law to operate a dairy without a license.
