The county commissioners yesterday
caused to DO published statement OF
the indebtedness OF the county, which
they propose to have funded in order
to reduce tho cost of carrying 1t. The
statement was prepared by John Pol
lack and Auditor Henderson, showing
the actual indebtedness OF the county
over and above all balances in all funds,
$l16, 400 70, but the cause OF this Is the
over-draft in tho county fund OF $751;
241 G5 and the over.draft OF the bridge
fund Of $57,77S 90. The last two over
drafts make up the amount the COM
missions want to fund, and as the ques-
ton is to be discussed at tho Farmers
Institute they show the condition oil all
the funds in the county, going back to
1884, and showing that the building Of
the new court house and jail had moth
ing to do with the Indebtedness OF these
funds. They make this quite clear, but
there are scores OF people in the river
towns and townships who will refuse to
believe it still.
Some Of tho people who live on
Union street adjacent to the proposed
new bridge have been raising howl
because they cannot yet see the specih-
cations for the contemplated bridge.
They should rest quietly ii not easily
until they know they are hurt. The
impression OF those who saw the blue
print plan OF the bridge Is that the
Union street people with the new steel
bridge win fare better than the Belmont
street people with the grade crossing
and no Waterman. II is almost a GER
tainty that teams from the country will
take the bridge route, and there is little
room in the adjustment OF this long
standing matter for them to complain.
The more they know Of the matter, how
ever, the better they will like it.
1t will DO remembered that ]. B.
Smith, OF this city, recently filed di-
vorce case in this county, wherein the
plaintiff alleges they were never mar

cussing this matter, James O. rallman,
the attorney for the defendant, was
twitting Smith and stated that the first
thing in such suit was the proof OF
marriage "Well, sir, said Smith, "I'll
prove that Is marriage IN common law
and it Is recorded in heaven" "But
what will you do with my motion that
You produce the record" said Tallmun,
and tho laugh went round.
