Great Preparations Nearing Completion for Mammoth Events of Sept. 21-2 2-23 Excursions and Decorations Planned Rochester and Akron Band Contest

Sept. 7. The meeting of the Commercial club last night was one full jf interest, since it showed how rapidly aTT things are moving in preparation for that event. It appeared that the cost of the great meet v.ss going to soar fat higher than at first was counted on. This i- because the scope o the entertainment to be given the public has so greatly enlarged from what was at first intended.. The advertising has accordingly increased in size and intensity and many of the other expenses have also increased. The club, however, is not a partiele disappointed with the prospects. They have over $1000 in the treasury, some .$1200 subscribed by thek business men and citizens of Plymouth, and prospects for good tc turns from manv concessions for "Sept. 21. 22 and 23. Will Spend Lare Sum. Already the amount to be spent riches $3.000 and it is felt that the amount advertise I will be short of the mark before the bis: "affair is over. No expanse is goin-.r to r. spared to make the j occasion one that will ea use all northern Indiana to sit up and blink her eyes good and hard. All kinds of attractions, bands. decorations, amusements, contests, etc., etc.. aside from the htr enril- Bud Ma'. and bis aero plane, will be her to please, the -people.

Council Decides That It is Best to Wait Until We Know More About tho Success 1 or Failure of Voting Machines Before Buying.

Sept. 7. Marshall county is not to have voting machines vet. This is the verdict of the County Council, which adjourned yesterday after completeing their estimates of the county expenses for the year and fixing, the tax levy.. The tax levy was boosted three cents, which raise became necessary because of the extra expense of the new registration law and also because of the big ex pens? for bridges this year. The levy was fixed at 30.15 cents n the hundred, dollars of valuation. Last vear's lew was 27.15. Afraid of Voting Machines. The Council was afraid of voting machines. Uns came about, per haps mostlv because of sent out by the Winslow Votincr Machine Co. of Cleveland. O.,- attacking viciously the Empire machine in claims which declared that the Empire could be tampered with and "fixed" so 'that it would not correctly record the votes. Soutb Bend has been having a heated and prolonged discussion about voting machines, and there were a number of other things that led the Council to doubt the proprietv at this time of spending $11.000 for them. Thev had doubts as to whether they would work properly. So that, .in spite of the fact that the new Registration law w-ill cost ii. - i Minn u .t.n i.A.. AlvM I . o 1 1 a . I 4 s-k wrt hAWn. tofore. the Council concluded not to, buv machines. They thought they would, let the people pay the extra cost of the election rather than rtin the r-sk of getting machines that would not work. Brownlee Bridge. The approoriation for tBe Brownlee bridge ($6.000 was made : nd that . structure will be built. The total appropriation for bridges in the countv was $25,825. Every township in the county asked for bridges this time and the " cost is out of theordinary. The total valuation of the county on which the tax rate is figured is $18,151.900. The various items of expense included amonz the others an appropriation of $T3.500 for the repair of .the courthouse This is about the steenth,, appropriation for that job, and it is to be hoped that one of these years .before 1920 it will be completed. The appropriations, lumped into the' different departments of expenditure, are as follows: 'Offices and Salaries. Clerk ;$ 3255.00 415010 '4113.85 234.00 3R82.75 1808.30 1801 .70 9750 iono -737.62 1150.00 70.00 400.00 no.oo 3S0.00 Auditor .'. Treasurer ...V.' Recorder ... Sheriff. 1 Surveyor Co. Supt.

While the lew for the general election (including everything as required by law) in 1912 with registration - in 33 precincts will cost about $5200! without machines, as less than $'0OO with registration in 14 precincts with machines, it was decided that it would be . better to defer the buyintr of voting machines; and have the voters become better acquainted with the provisions and tbe workings of the registration law.
