Coincidental with the deeding back to the original owners of the right of way formerly occupied by the now defunct electric railroad corporation through Putnam county tax duplicates as owners of real estate with the exception of the small piece of land on Seminary street between Indiana and Vine streets, occupied by the former station by the Indiana Railroad bus line. The transfer of the right of way back to the original owners puts the burden of the taxes on them although the Indiana Railroad retains easements over the former right of way for pipi- lines ami electric line*. These easements may be transferred Putnam couniy has inherited from the former traction company three sump-backed highway bridges over the former track, and several bad humps in highways where the highways cross the former right of way an grade crossings. By agreement with the county commissioners last November, Bownan Elder, receiver, paid the couny $100 in cash to take the bridges >ff his hands and assume all reponsibililies for them. The agrement between the commissioners and Mr. Elder rper ificially states he Is clieved of all obligation to remove >r repair the structures or to pay tamnges Incurred after the county (»ok them over. One of these bridges is on the road xtending west from Limedale; anther is on the road north from thu former Mt. Olive comer; and the bird is in Washington township, on he road north from the former But’er school house, near the Stephen
kind place.
All of these structures have only i 10-foot roadway, made of plank, laid on a steel framework. They are higher than the highway and are reached over approaches that rise sharply from the highway grade making the bridges somewhat dan- j gerous from that standpoint. Also, die structures are beginning to how the ravages of their years. They were erected about 35 years ago, or light materials. County Engineer Arthur Plummer stated this morning he had been informed by manufacturers that the average steel bridge is safe for heavy raffic not more than 50 years. County Road Superintendent Emovy O. Brattain said the commissioners favor the idea of disposing of the bridges and lowering the highway grade to its former level over the former right of way of the traction company. The sharp spiral In the crossing of the pavement of the Manhattan road over the former traction roadbed, south of Greencastle, is a tricky place for fast drivers. Its eradication would involve tearing out the present concrete pavement for possibly

Salad Subtlety Only a generation ago the first balmy, springlike days tantalizing the children with their promise of ringing birds and budding trees, meant it was time for mothers to get out the sulphur and molasses. Lucky for modern children that they now get this “medicine” in the form of green vegetables and plenty of them served the year 'round as crisp, colorful salads. This is the time, then, to check up on your salad recipes. Make it a point to search out brand new ideas for making your salads more attractive and flavorful. Add to your salad green possibilities the tender, spicy dandelion loaves that will soon be shooting up out of the ground. Use lettuce, of course— both the garden variety and head lettuce—but do change frequently to tangy curly endive and nippy watercress. Give a thought to your salad il res sings. Determine by actual use which brand of mayonnaise your family seems to prefer and then make it a point to have it for them. French type dressings can be made with all th- four different kinds of vinegars and thus you have a choice of flavors and can pick thu right one for each salad. Pure cider vinegar is good with bo in fruit and Vi'getable combinations, enhancing- their delicate 11aynrs and imparting its own distinctive aroma. The delightful blend of pure malt and distilled white vinegars infused with tarragon haves which is known as tarragon vinegar adds a special pertness to green salads which people recognize as the touch of the salad expert.
