$21,000 REMAINS TO CANCEL DEBT ON COURT HOUSE Treasurer Pays Nineteenth Bond Issued for Construction Reports Indicate Sound Financial Condition. Only one more bond on the county Indebtedness remains to be paid, the one this month being the nineteenth In the series of twenty which was issued to pay for the court house. Next May the final bond will be taken in and the county will be free from indebtedness except for the gravel road bonds which are being paid off in various townships. The bond paid off was for $20,000 with $926.12 interest. Next fall the interest will be paid on the final bond and in the spring by the payment of $21,000 the county will cancel the debt. The county is in good financial condition this spring. Next month will mark one of the two semi-annual periods when it is possible to determine exactly what the county's finances are. This will take place when the county treasurer is charged by the county auditor for the spring collection of taxes. Checks Out Collection. To May 1, more than twenty-five per cent of the spring collection had been checked to the various funds to which it belongs, city, townships, county, schools and others. The total amount placed in all funds and forwarded to the state to the first of this month, was $116,050.16. Much of this money is still unexpended, but is available when needed. Figures on the probable tax rates needed for 1916 revenue, are not obtainable. There will be little change in the state, county and township rates. What the city of Richmond will be required to do when the time comes for fixing the tax rate is problematical. There will be no increase in the free gravel road tax for next year, unless a number of miles of additional township roads are accepted as part of the free gravel road system. In Wayne township, the three-mile road bond tax will remain the same. Bridge building on a more extensive scale may be planned in the latter part of 1915 and 1916, but there will be no great increase in the rate. County council decided that the bridges will be taken care of after 1916 when seven cents levied in the tax rate for the pay rate for the payment of the court house bonds, will be available for other purposes. The seven cent levy brings in approximately $21,400 annually.

NEW LIGHTING LAW CAUSE OF PROTEST BY BUSINESS MEN

"According to the newspapers, property owners on Main street between Fifth and Eighth streets have filed remonstrances against the installation of ornamental street lights," remarked Frank Howels, councilman from the Fifth ward at the council meeting last night. "The press surely must be misinformed, however, as our public-spirited and progressive Main street business men would not remonstrate against such an Improvement, especially 6ince no petition for such a lighting system has been presented to the board of public works." Mr. Howels was informed by Clerk Bescher that there had been no mistake on the part of the press in this matter; that at least eighty percent of the property owners on the three blocks had filed such remonstrances. Councilman Howels then suggested that the board of public works put forth an effort to induce property owners on Main street to petition for the installation of such lights. Mayor Robbins said the board should not take such action, and called attention to the fact that the law provided that when the property owners on any block desired ornamental street lights at least seventy-five percent of them had to sign the petition. "Such an effort on the part of the board would at least put these business men on record. As I recall it the big majority of these people were very much in favor of such a lighting system when it was proposed to have the city pay the lion's share of the cost, but now the new law provides for the property owners meeting most of the expense they remonstrate before a petition is filed," Howells said. "They are merely remonstrating against the law, not against ornamental lights," replied the mayor. To Relieve Rheumatic Pains.

HARMAN ADDRESSES SOCIETY OF FRIENDS With a representative membership present, the Brotherhood of the East Main Street Friends church last night held a meeting of interest and entertainment to all who were present. The program consisted of two selections by a male quartet, refreshments and talks by President Chamness of the Brotherhood and the Rev. H. C. Harman. The Rev. Mr. Harman named three groups of men, the first composing the religious men of the community who are active in the work of the church; the second composing those men who were reared by Christian parents, but who are out of touch with the church, and the third group composing those men who are absolutely indifferent to the work of the church and make no effort to become good, Christian men. The speaker advised the men of the first group to make a united effort to win those belonging to the second group, and then have the combination work effectively to interest the men of the third group in the work of the church.

For Sallow, Wrinkled, Freckled, Pimpled Skin If you have any cutaneous blemish, don't use paint, powder or anything else to cover it up. Too often this only emphasizes the defect. Besides, it's much easier to remove the disfigurement with ordinary mercolized wax. Applied nightly, the wax will gradually remove freckles, pimples, blackheads, moth-patches, ssllowness, red or yellow blotches, or any surface eruptions. The affected cuticle is absorbed, a little each day, until the clear, soft, youthful and beautiful skin beneath is brought wholly to view. Ask the druggist for an ounce of mercolized wax and use this like you use cold cream. Remove in morning with soap and water. Many who have tried this simple and harmless treatment report astonishing results. If bothered with wrinkles or crow's feet, a wash lotion made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel will prove remarkably effectual. Adv.

CLOUDS STAY FROST Although the immediate prospects of a killing frost are past, there is still chance for much more rain. This is the gist of a cheering statement made today by V. E. Moore, local weather forecaster. Mr. Moore's statement follows: Danger of frost is past. Immediate prospects for more rain are good. The temperature dropped to 35 degrees at midnight last night and was only checked by clouds which prevented a killing frost which would have resulted had it remained clear.
