Inc hep. pIales about the aTchiteeC's
per cent. on drafting, etc and the same
for experimenting, as though il was
unusual. The Rep. knows The CITY paid
not less for the city building, and the
Scn0ol Board pays at least as much for
the school building, ana Guy Tiidgn ia
not the architect there. The lsborer ia
worthy Of his hire when the work is
we'll done. Why not?
NO one so far disputes the excellent
WORK done IN the Insane department.
Wnlch lS completed and occupied, It is
the hrst and very important part of a
new lnnrmaTy, the rest merely being
contemplated, and not as vet ordered or
contracted for. Why then blame Com
missioner Smith for what he nor no one
else has done? '

Is finishing the design of the
complete work so that there NAV be-
uniformity. This must De done and
may as we'll be done now.
A new lntirmary Is worse needed for
STARK county than was a new hundred
thousand dollar High School bnildin1
for Canton. The Rep. approved of the
latter and Commissioner Lsiblin was

we lad ample accommodation for the

Last year some thirteen thousand dol
lars was expended for out door relief.

the lntirmary Board Much of this
thirteen thousand would have been

at the lnhrmary. Over twenty additions
constitute the present Infirmary struc-

arrangement and disgrace to the
county, A Republican judge did we'll

sane Had the matter been brought to
his attention no doubt he would have
ordered better provision for the Door,
Any board of health would condemn it,
for she drainage Is bad, and with some
Two hundred human occupants the con.
ditlon may be understood.
This crusade against Commissioner
Smith then ls not for anything he has
done; but for what he may do, The
scheme Is for an ulteriOr purpose. De-
feat AlODzO Smith and elect a convent

would be another Republican reyel. We
mentioned the $4,000 deficit in the
Bridge Fund left The Democratic Board
Of Commissioners three years ago bv
their Republican predecessors. Let the
taxpayers of Stark county re elect
Alonzo Smith. His past is a guaranty
Df-the future.
