The appointment of truant officers in To-
calities where the accommodations are in
sufficient for the children already in attend
ance is a case of putting the cart before
the horse. In this city, for instance, where
the school buildings are already crowded
to their utmost capacity, truant officers
would find themselves greatly embarrassed
in their efforts to drive reluctant young
sters TO school. A compulsory educational
law is good thing, but it cannot be put in
operation by a simple order declaring it in
force

Some time ago the Board of Works made
a contract with the Indianapolis Desiccat-
ing Company providing for the removal of
it's plant for the disposition Of garbage to
Sellers farm. The company undertook to
lease the farm from the city at $500 year.
Much more than that had been received in
past years, but the board said that, al
though it had advertised to lease the farm
twice, no satisfactory bids were made.
After the contract was ratified by the
Council it came to light that several other
tenants had used part of Sellers farm. and
a second ordinance was passed requiring
the company to collect only a nominal
rental from subtenants leaving with the
board the right to settle controversies. Yes
terday the desicccating company requested
the board to fix the rent that il should re-
ceive from three tenants. The board de-
cded that Kngan 81 Co. shall pay $500 a
year for the portion they occupy, Luther
Mehring Sl25 and S. kaufman q Sons $780,
From these three subtenants the company
will receive $475, just $25 a year less than it
pays the city, with others to be heard

Helped East street to Get What Wal
nut Street Sought in Vain.
East-street residents, living between st.
Clair and Tenth streets, were more for
tunate than their Walnut-street neighbors
when they appear ell before the Board of
Work yesterday and asked that the modi-
ficatons for cement walks and asphalt
roadway be modified so as to
permit the new asphalt company
to bid on the work. Last week
the board refused such a petition made by
residents of Walnut street, who claimed
that reimbursement would save them
about $4,000. The board yesterday granted
the second petition, rescinded all action
heretofore taken and rejected the bids of
the three old companies The Indiana Ber-
mudez Company bid $685. the Western Paw
ing and Supply Company $3.50 and the War
rensselaer, Asphalt Company $5.52 q llneal
foot each side
John j. Rockford, last year chairman of
the Democratic county committee, pre-
scented the East-street petition, which bore
his signature and those of sixteen other
residents of the street. The petition asked
the board TO modify the specifications so
the Germo- Kentucky Asphalt Company,
among others, shall and will be permitted
to bid and for said work for said inn
provement, that the properly owners in and
upon said street shall have the benefit of
legitimate competition.
In the Walnut-Street improvement Mayor
Taggart advised the board not to read
vertise, expressing doubt as to whether
there would be any saving to the property
owners He also expressed fear that
modification would invalidate the improve
ment ordinance passed by the Council.
The board awarded several contracts for
street improvements to the lowest bidders.
Several bids ranging from $l.2S TO 81 a foot
for the sewer in Ohio street. from State
avenue to Randolph, were held over. Fol-
lowing are the bids that were awarded:
For cement walks on the southwest side
of Fletcher avenue, from Noble, to Grove
street. to II. Z. Noting at $1O612 a foot.
For brick walks on the south side Of Eng
lish avenue, from Laurel street to State
avenue to Daniel Foley at 1872 cents foot:
For bowldering the first alley south of
Hoyt avenue from Shelby street to Olive
street to II. T. Noting at 30 cents.
For a local sewer in the first alley east of
Ash street from Twentieth to Twenty first
street, at $1.04.
For a local sewer in Rural street, from
Washington street 662 feet south, to w. II.
Albeit & Co. at $1.O2

criminal circuit court will convene here
next Monday morning.
This week Judge Purnell is holding
court in Wilmington, and when he opens
court here he will have an unusually
heavy docket.
Judge Riddick has 80 cases on his
docket and Mr.. Fortune has recorded
100 cases, all of which will be tried here
at this term
Most of these are moonshine cases.
There are on the docket only three or
four postoffce cases. OF these latter,
that of John Meeder, of Warren county,
the particulars of which were recently
printed in this paper, is the most inn
