COMMENT

TO PRESENT PROJECT

On Park Amusements 'Council Monday. to Edward Hollarn, superintendent of parks, will present to council at the meeting Monday night, the proposition of Richard Qwinn who has asked for concessions to place a merry-go-around in Glen Miller park. Superintendent Hollarn stated that he wants an expression from the public before any steps toward granting the concessions are taken. The board of works visited the Glen Monday and decided that should Qwinn be allowed to place a merry-go-around in the park, the most suitable place for its location would be near the railroad north of the pavilion. Qwinn stated that he is willing to operate the amusement on a per cent of the profits with the city. If the proposition is accepted, the money will go to a fund for the maintenance of the parks.

INTERESTING FACTS IN OLD CITY RECORD In Early Days of "City" Few Councilmen Attended Meetings.

FIRST ELECTION IN 1839 Charter as "Borough" Was Given by Legislature That Year. The oldest known official record of the days when Richmond was a village is in the office of City Clerk Baltz Bescher. The oldest record at the city building is the court record which is dated September 13, 1821. Complete records of council meetings from the first one held. May 7, 1839, when Richmond was given a charter i . 1 i : .1 . . . . . I .. V. I oy iuv legislating iu limit? uuuei lue class of a "borough," are on file at the clerk's office, and are in a remarkable state of preservation. The court record, which contains a list of the cases tried here after September, 1821, until 1830, is not in the excellent state of preservation as are the council records. This book is stained and yellow, and the writing in it is scarcely legible. Part of the calfskin cover has been chewed by mice at some time within the past 90 years. One Thousand Cases Recorded. This book, however, is full of interesting cases, most of which are for the recovery of money due on notes. More than one thousand cases are recorded in the book and in no place could be found any record of where one man owed another more than the sum of $40. Most of the suits were for small amounts, some of them being for less than $1. Asked Nine Cents Interest. It can be plainly seen in examining the records that the pioneers of the j city were not disposed to allow their j debtors much time in which to pay their bills. In one case a man sued j another man for $2.25, the principal ; of a note due Mach 1, and demanded 9 cents interest for the five days be- j tween the time the note was due and j March 5 when the suit was entered. The debtor evidently could not produce the $2.34, as the 'squire who tried the case sent him to jail for from March 5 until April 3. The names of the parties in the suit could not be read as the handwriting was small and the page of the book was stained. Charter as "Borough." . The first records of council are even more interesting than the court document. In every case it can be seen that the city fathers of that time struggled and schemed to finance the city. The city was given a charter as a "borough" in 1838. The borough elections were held early in the spring, and the new councilmen met for the first time in the borough of Richmond at the home of one of its members. The first burgess elected was James W. Bordon and the second burgess, who was an assistant to the first was Basil Brightwell. The councilmen were Eli Brown, Robert Hill, Francis Robertson, William L. Brady, John H. Hutton, David Maulsby, John Sailor, Levi Keeraus, William Parry, Irvin Reed. James W. Green, Stephen Swain and Benjamin Fulgham. Jacob Sanders was elected high constable while Elijah Coffin and Samuel Pierce were elected to the offices of treasurer and assessor, respectively. The first city clerk was D. P. Holliway. Used a Good Plan. The first meeting of council was attended by every member. At the second meeting several were late while at the third meeting, four councilmen did not appear at the meeting. At the time it was decided to fine absent councilmen a small sum unless they were able to give a satisfactory reason for their absence. The amount of these fines were not stated bttf it was only a short time until the clerk had quite a fund he had collected from absent members. The members of council argued at several meetings what should be done with this money. The problem was finally solved by John Sailor (later the first mayor of the city of Richmond) who introduced a motion to divide the money equally among the members at the end of the year. Owed Money on Canal. During the next ensuing years, the ways and means committee of council

TO DISMISS AFFIDAVIT

John Mulholland Obeying Court's Order. John Mulholland was taken in custody by Deputy Sheriff Mote this morning, but released upon an order from Prosecuting Attorney Reller. Mulholland was arrested in January for child desertion and was arraigned before Judge Fox in the Wayne circuit court. The court explained at that time the seriousness of the charge against him and advised him to employ an attorney to defend him. He was allowed to leave the court room to return the following day. No bond was asked by the court. Mulholland left town immediately, going to Gary Ind. His wife, Rosie Mulholland. was then granted a divorce on the grounds of abandonment and cruel and inhuman treatment The court specified the amount which the defendant should pay for the support of his children to be $10 per month. Mulholland has been paying this, according to the prosecutor and the affidavit against him will be dismissed. played the most important part and the records are taken up in a large part with their reports. Their first report made at the second council meeting held Tuesday May 14. contained a list of the liabilities carried from the village records. There was no money in the treasury and $14,000 was due on the Richmond-Brookville canal which was then in construction (this canal was never finished) and a note for $2,050 payable to the First National bank was due within a short time after this meeting. The latter sum was borrowed for the purpose of paving Main street with flag stones. A list of the resources of the borough for one year was fixed as an approximate figure at $5,830 which included the income from every known source. "One-Man" Meeting. At a meeting held July 2, 1839, not one member of council was present. City Clerk Alexander Stokes called the meeting to order, according to his minutes, read the minutes of the last meeting, called the roll and then adjourned until July 6. The minutes read: "As I have found every member of council, including the president, absent and as there is not a quorum present, this meeting will now adjourn." In order that money with which to pay debts and meet expenses might be borrowed more easily, the council asked for a charter as a city. This was granted and in 1840 the first municipal election was held. John Sailor was elected mayor by a large majority, although the races for the office of councilmen in the wards were spirited. The new council held its first meeting May 4. At this meeting $230 was appropriated for the salaries of the city officials for one year. EXAMINATIONS HERE C. W. Moss, secretary of the Sixth civil service district, located at Cincinnati, sent the list of dates on which civil service examinations will be held in this district. Many inquiries have been made concerning the examinations at the local postoffice. TAKE DR. SIMPSON'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND to put your blood in "fit" condition for the hot weather.

9 Women Got For Sl.OO

These women had their Hoosiers delivered at once. Ask any of them if they would go back to the old style table. They save by actual test, 15 to 40 minutes each meal. SAVE MILES OF STEPS Their saving comes by scientific grouping of the nearly 200 articles they use in preparing meals. A table does not group things. It is not a store-house. In bringing things to it and putting them away, if your kitchen is average size, you walk a little more than a mile every three meals. If your kitchen is large you walk farther. Some kitchen cabinets save scarcely more steps than a table. They are built in many designs. The Hoosier design does not vary. Every part is the result of many hundred tests. Like the letters on the standard typewriter keyboard the ones used most, put in the most convenient position you will find the Hoosier puts things you need at your fingers' ends in the quickest time.

After repeated denials that he had anything to do with the proposed appointment of Meredith Nicholson as a minister to Portugal. Vice President Marshall at the Indiana Democratic club reception this afternoon made the admission that he had spoken favorably of Nicholson to President Wilson. "We were discussing Indiana patronage," said the vice president " and 1 remarked to the president that Nicholson would be a good man for a foreign post. I recalled to him that in times past literary men had made good at diplomatic posts and cited Thomas Nelson Page and others as examples. 1 told him that Nicholson was excellent material: but further than that 1 never said anything to the president about Nicholson." title Hoosier
