MD y LIFT OF THE CLAIMS ALLOWED
We have an idea that 4 glance al
the proceedings OF the first levy
term Of the County Court Of Lewis
county. will not be unintercstins 10
our readers. All taxpayers shud-
der when they see the enormous
list Of claims which are allowed in
these lattor years land if lie reader
will but bring to memory the col
Gmns Of allowances now made, the
brcyity and economy of the old
times will be refreshing. The fol-
lowing is the entire list of claims
allowed at the levy term, held in
June, 1917:
To Mrs. Newton, for the usc.ofa house
TO hold Court in, Courts $50 90
To Jacob 3liuier, for making one
writing desk S 80
10 Tic Clerk of this Court for extra
services, :; months 81

Same, for paper for use of county 10 81
10 Robert ". Collins, Clerk cftho

To Edwin S. Duncan, Esq, Attorney
for the Commonwealth in this Court
for his services for four Courts lG 33

To Lewis Maxwell, Commissioner to

To John Nc Coy, lot same 30 90
TIE LEVY.
The Court then ordered "that the
Sheriff pay the Aforesaid allowan-
COS to the persons entitled thorclo,
out OF the county loyies to bo col
locted in this county for the pres
cnt year; and that ho collect from
each titheablc within this county
the sum of one dollar an! .frc ccnts,
to te ikc [oRH!ylcry for said year."
So, It seems that the entire cx-
pcnscs Of the county government
for 1917, amounted to the sum OF
one hundred and sesenlyJow dollars
and Jo'ty.omc Gems!

TIE Fasr GUST MILL projected
in this portion Of Lewis county,
undertaken by ono Joseph Johnson,
and his application for n writ OF
nd Qnoi dGn:nam was made to the
County Court on the l.lth day OF
Apri!,slS17, by Edwin $. Duncan.
The spot Of ground proposed 10 bo
taken was Immediately below the
mouth of Stone Coal Creek. 1t has
often occurred to the observer that
the w0tor flowing from Polk and
Stone Coal Greeks would assist a
water grist mill materially.l How
ever, Johnson failed TO give the
matter proper attention, and final
ly the proceeding was dismissed.
The mill further up the river (now
owned by Col. Woodiord) was
not projected until some time af-
ter Johnson's ileA failed; and then
Il was established as Il mill site
upon the motion Of Daniel Stringor,
who paid 10 the heirs Of pator
Flcsller, deceased, the slim of SIC
rs compensation to them for land
taken for IN ahutmcnt on the west
side Of the river, this, with the
costs of the writ orad Quod d1mnHn',
was the total amount Strinesr had
to pay. Mill sites wore cheap in
those days.
