WANT NEW COMMISSIONERS.
rhunderbOlt Property Owners After
Another Election.


Judge Hampton L. FerrH is somewhat
puzzled as tc just what to do with a pc
tition which has been left with him by

]. r. Grundel and others. who own prop
erty at Thunderbolt filed a petition with
the ordinary asking him to order an cleo
ton for five commissioners for the town
of Warsaw. They assert that there are
only two commissioners now serving, who
were elected by the people. and that the
others who were appointed by the board
were not the choice of the legal voters.
and that the charter of the town does not
give the commissioners the right to APP
point
The Morning News gave an account,
some time ago, of this little municipal
ltJ's internal troubles. and such petition
was predicted at the time Just now an
effort is being made to discover laws re-
lating TO the matter in order to find out
whether the ordinary has authority 70
order such an election. The trouble all
grew out of the Sunday music ordinance
which has caused three of the old COM
misiOners to resign.

COMMITTEE DECLINED TO SELL.
VIII Not Dispose of Strip of Land on
Bull Street as a Whole.

Ball street as a Whole.
At meeting of the joint committee on
opening streets and city lots yesterday
two matters were considered. One was
proposition to buy a strip of land on Bull
from Second to Seventh streets, and the
other was petition to allow no additional
traffic on River street on account of the
vibration to buildings.
In considering the proposed purchase of
the Bull street land the committee acted
promptly. The sale of this land would
give the purchaser control of the 'front.'
age to property along there. The strip
it was proposed TO exchange is about
sixteen feet wide, which was left over in
opening the street, and by acquiring it the
owner would be able to keep the lots in
the rear secluded. Besides, it would be
impossible TO put a fine building on a
small strip. and the committee was in
clined to view the proposition as a sort
of freeze-out speculation 1t was de-
cided to sell the strip to the lot owners, 50
they viii have a frontage on Bull street.
and which will insure the erection of more
desirable buildings than on scrap lots.
With reference TO the additional traffic
on River street the committee took no
action.
