City lots, being assigned to q special use and
sold by a special agent, were not entered on the
land registry Of the county. The county was
not fully organized till the spring Of 1922, fol-
lowing the first sale of city lots in the fall of
1921, but lands were largely bought By actual or
intending settlers in July. 1921. and thencefor-
ward in the government Office at Brookville.
The act of the Legislature organizing the
county was passed on the last day of the year
1921, authorizing the election Of officers and
completion of the organization the following
rpring. and after this com plesion the entries
designated the civil township Of the land pur-
chase as well Is those Of the government town
ship. The purchases previous to that time were
assigned to the proper civil township as soon ss
their lines were fixed. 1t may be worth noting
that Marion county at that time contained the
present counties of johnson aud Hamilton, and
portions of what are now Boone. Madison and
Hancock. The first county beard formed OF
these appendages four townships, Fall Creek. !"
