Saturday afternoon, rain storm
struck our city that was almost del
uge, the fall of water being the heavi
est of the season. Fortunately for our
citizens, Ravenna is built ON high
elevation. with but a small portion in
the flats and the water encountered no
obstructions in its rapie flow, which
prevented it from doing any serious
damage. The flats immediately north
of the p. & w. tracks were converted
into regular lake which quickly rose
to such height as to submerge the
tracks of the Co., extinguishing the
fire under the locomotives standing
there. After the rain had subsidized, a
number of boys got out a boat and
rowed across the highway at that point
The storm was confined to a compare
lively small territory, points not three
miles distant in some directions, re-
ceiving scarcely any of the fall,
During the storm Thursday evening
lightning struck the barn of Mr.. John
Reynolds, in Brimfield, shattering
some OF the upper timbers and tearing
off shingles and siding. Fortunately
there was no stock in the barn at the
, time. The damage was not great and
, is covered by insurance, in the Roots
town Mutual. Mr.. Robert Risks barn
was struck and slightly damaged dur.
ing the same storm, and valuable
mare with colt at her side, belonging
to Mr.. Isaac AXE, was killed, in the

mother, was not injured,

County Commissioners

l
On Wednesday afternoon IL large num-
Der of delegates from Hamilton and
l5athgate appeared before the board "r,
matters pertaining to the old aud new
organizations. Tie total tux for the de-
funct Batlgate township for 1855 was
8, lG2, of this amount 1921 has been COL
lected and $2Ol paid over to the Bath.
gated treasurer. Tho Hamilton town
ship supervisors claim the VIII ole Of the
tax collected, baaing their claim OH the
fact that tho assessment made by the
Hamilton township assessor in the
bounds covered by BatI,gatc township
wac duly made but ignored by the COM
missioncrs and the Bathgate assessors'
assessment substituted. Several difficult
ties occur in justifying this demand.
First, that the district attorney thinks
it does not belong to either.
Second, that Hamilton levy was three
mills while that of Bathgatc was ten
mills.
Third, that only half tl,e tax has been
paid and it isn't probable that the bal.
ance ever will he paid.
Another question came up MS to the
legality of the present petition for the
organization of the township of Batl,gate.
The law very blindly says that the petit
ton to the commissioners sl.all be "fronl
tho township" but whether this means
from the voters, IL majority of them, or
from the supervisors, is IL question. The
one before the board is from u majority
of the voters.
There was also presented to the board
a remonstrance against the petition for
division signed by about l6l names. The
original petition is signed by about 24O.
After considerable discussion and ar
sument. by mutual compromise Of fine
representatives present, the rcm0nst-
rance against the petition was withdrawn,
the petition for division WAS amended as
coming from the supervisors and also
from 226 voters and granted by the COM
missiOners. The cash in the hands of
the county treasurer, S5lS was ordered
paid to Hamilton, and out of the lelin.
quent tax when paid. Hamilton is to
have sl79 more. the latter being in lien
o. the 1900 already paid to the treasurer
Of Batllgate township; Bathgatc to have
the balance Of the delinquent tax, if any
paid, after the Sl79 is paid to Hamilton.
