COUNTY COUNCIL REVERSES DECISION On Wednesday of last week the county council reversed action it had taken on Tuesday to put the 515.000 that had been allocated for plat book expenses this year . back into the general fund. Since the money had not been used for the new plat books and new addressing equipment is needed by several offices it was requested that the money be transferred to new equipment. This was denied > by council action on Tuesday, but was allowed on Wednesday after the council gave the matter furtherconsideration. This action probably makes the | several court house officials who , are hoping for the equipment feel better about the situation although it remains to be seen how soon or if the equipment will be purchased. Those officials who are very interested in purchasing new ad- | dressing equipment are the county auditor, county treasurer and the county assessor. The new equipment would also help with the work in the office of the clerk and the welfare department.
