MRS. SEDGWICK WAS LEADER IN MANY WORTHY MOVEMENTS

' The death of MarcJa Sutton Sedgwick, wife of Richard Sedgwick, removes from a number of circles a most faithful and devoted friend and co-worker. Mrs. Sedgwick was a woman who

worked quietly in the avenues which opened to her and as she saw the need, recognized her responsibility and with enthusiasm performed her

duty so far as lay within her power.

The Home for the Friendless appealed to her she became Interested in its work and was honored by her election to the first vice-preidency of

the woman's board of managers, ana served the board with zeal. Belonged to Aid Society. She was a member of the Ladies' Aid society of the Reid Memorial hospital and at one time a member of the board of the Margaret Smith Home. When able to attend to the duties of these organizations It was always a pleasure born of the interest in the welfare and comfort of others. When the Young Men's Christian Association was built, Mrs. Sedgwick was active in the organization of the Ladies' Auxiliary, was chairman of the house committee which rendered such indespensible aid in caring for the interior of the dormitory. For four years she was the financial secretary and treasurer of this society, firs. Sedgwick was raised in the Quaker faith, being a member of the East Main street Friends church. During the pastorate of the late Pr. Alexander Gilchrist, over the United Presbyterian church, prior to the building of the Reid Memorial church, she, with her husband, united with this denomination and followed later by her entire family. , Active In New Church. Mrs. Sedgwick immediately became identified with the activities of her new ' church home and was most thoroughly interested and in accord with the work of the Ladies' Missionary society and was for three years its honored and capable president. Her love for children led her into

the work of the Sabbath school, where she for years maintained a most successful class of little ones, beinsr present with them the last Sabbath 6be wan alive. In all her activities Mrs. Sedgwick was a most harmonious worker, choosing to work quietly and earnestly with a zeal Inspired by a fidelity to purpose, giving with pleasure of her strength and ability. It Is not generally known that in the palatial residence of the Sedsrwicks, are many pieces of her handiwork most beautiful, and that she found time also to create many pieces bearing the stamp of genuine artistic

ability, which are now possessed by her friends. , To her friends she confided her failing strength, which necessitated, in the recent months, the withdrawal from some of her chosen duties. She went to her operation in the full expectation that she would be returned to her home, renewed in strength and ready again to lay her talent upon the altar of service with her friends. At 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon the funeral services will be held in the Reid Memorial church. Friends may call at any time at the Sedgwick residence, West Fifth street

Keeps Her Children In Perfect Health

COUNTY ATTORNEY

(Continued From Page One. Up to the present time It has been the general supposition that the county would have to bear the cost of property damage caused by a level bridge. "I have examined the statutes of Indiana and have come to the conclusion that Wayne county has absolutely no right or authority to condemn property in the city of Richmond for the purpose of changing or affecting a street in the city because I And no statute giving the county or its boaid of commissioners such authority, and for the further reason that a statute touching municipal corporations reads 'That every city shall have the exclusive power over the streets and bridges within such city and may prescribe the heighth, width and manner of construction of all bridges and open, straighten and otherwise alter and improve streets,' Mr. Hoelscher informs the bridge expert in his letter. -Could Condemn Property "The city of Richmond undoubtedly has the power through its board of public works and if necessary through its council by ordinances to condemn for the use of such city any property real or personal to open, change lay out or affect any street within such city. Of course in the case the Main street bridge there will be no physical

taking of property, the property taken will simply be easements of igress or egress, of view and of light which are held to be property. It would take the city from four to six weeks to make such assessments. Mr. Hoelscher points out ' thatx it would not be advisable to start work on a level bridge until after all appeals from the awards of the board of works were settled by the circuit court. If any property owner should be not satisfied with the damage awards granted he could appeal to the court. In case the court would decide upon damages which the city considered unreasonable, it would have the right to drop all proceedings and the property owner could file an injunction against the bridge. City Could Refuse. The city also has a perfect right to refuse to assess the damages to property or to agree to make the street open for a level bridge. "You will also see that before anything can be done towards building a level bridge or deciding to build a so called level bridge, the city must first proceed to condemn the easements or the ingress and egress, light and view heretofore referred to, that is we must

wait and see if the city will succeed in making such condemnations," Mr.

Hoelscher says in his conclusion.
