JACKSON COUNTY SEAT
THE GOVERNOR ADVISED NOT TO APP
POINT APPRAISERS.
Proceedings by the County Commits
gal by the Attorney General.

The question of the location Of the coun-
ty seat of Jackson county was revived yes
terday by an opinion furnished by the at
torney general in which he advises the
Governor TO refuse to appoint appraisers
under the order of the board of commits
sioners of Jackson county for a special
election Aug. to determine whether the
county seat shall be removed from Browns
town to Seymour. The attorney general
holds that the election was not legally
called by the County Commissioners, who
failed to conform with the provisions Of the
law The refusal of the Governor to act
will have the effect of delaying the cleo
ton until the record of the proceedings be-
fore the County Commissioners can be
changed to conform with the opinion of the
attorney general
The appraisers that the Governor was
to appoint were to appraise the value of
the courthouse, Jail and other county
property at Brownstown, the present
county seat.
1t is said this delay is what many OF the
people of jackson county desire. 1t is
claimed that one of the short-lne railroads
running through the county touches
BroWnstown and has lately become SO pad
ly out of repair that 1t Is a question WneIh-
er or not traffic will ever be resumed The
people want to know what this road in
tends to do before they vote to change
the county seat. The certified order or the
commissioners calling for an election was
received three weeks ago. Later there
came a protest and few days ago me
Governor received communication from
congressman Jason Brown, who is at
torney for the petitioners. These documents
were referred to the attorney general with
the request that he enlighten the Governor,
which he has done.
The act under which the people of jack
ton of their county seat by special election
was passed BY the Legislature of 1925.

cay Constables and attaches of other
courts are commenting on this manner of
prosecuting saloon keepers and say that 1t

stable 10 drink on duty as IL is for the sa-
loon keeper TO sell the drinks.

Huckster Ordinances to Die.

The finance committee of the Council met
last night to consider the ordinance increas-
ing the annual license fee of hucksters and
peddlers to $40 a year and prohibiting them
from crying their wares in the streets. The
committee decided to recommend that the
ordinance be stricken from the files on the
ground that although two meetings have
been held for its consideration by the COM
rnittee no public interest is taken in it.
The committee feels that to increase the
fee to $40 a year would work a great hard
ship on men and women who make living
by peddling small articles. The present fee
is but Sc a year. Many would lind it out OF
the question to pay $40.
The committee decided to recommend the
appropriation of 81, 400 asked by Controller
johnson to pay off school bonds in West In
dianapolis and other suburbs annexed.
