"county-scet, " will work for Its removal from
this city; but Journey in the direction o.
Llbcrtyvillc anu the townships south and west
| Of same, will reveal the fact that they have al
| ready commenced III earnest to accomplish their
| purpose. Petitions IRE now being circulated in
each township west Of tile eastern tier calling
for an election, at the same time ascertain
ing the individual feeling Of the inhabit-
| ants relative to its future location as
best suited to them. The Libertyyillc
people express themselves as having great faith In
their undertaking. The systematic manner in
which they have entered into the strife will certain
" accomplish great deal. This is question in
which the citizens Of WauEegan have considerable
interest. The location OF the county records at
this placc tends to draw trade that would unoubt-
eddy 60 elsewhere were they removed. Therefore,
it requires but aiority Of the votes to remove
10 Libcrtyrc, and ten ont Of the fifteen townships

the end.

The propositions are very liberal, al,-sonstderaby in
of the Hoard Of Education in reducing the salaries
OF teachers can hardly be expected to be gain in
the end, as the teachers employed arc capable Of
commanding higher prices for their labor. The

But they can afford to pay adequate salaries to
competent individuals, rather than suffer the great
Inconvenience that will inevitably take place.
