The event of the present week which
is looked forward too with more than
ordinary interest is the H. SDilIm3r

der whose auspices it is given ARD
now exercised as to how they are 90
ing to seat the audience, as the de,
mand for tickets is Unprecedented
Mr.. Riggs was here last month and the
entertainment was the most successful
ever given here. His entire perform
ance is full of wit and humor and his
songs and solo whiting are something
the equal of which has never been
heard here
From the meaning taken from the
law on the subject of toll gates OH
turn pixies owned by the county ii an
pears that Council cannot force The
county Commissioners to remove ths
fnl 10 t,fx Il :
only in one way. That is by signing
an agreement with the commissions
that they will take the mile of pibe
within the corporation and keep ii n
repair, They can either pave it under
these conditions or make a street of il.
The law CONSTITUTES the meaning that
the commissioners have the privilege
of placing toll gates any place they
choose to along the pike and collect
toll. In relation to turn pixies or roads
owned by private company, il states
that they cannot erect a toll house
and collect toll in the limits of o
town but that it must be at least
eighty rods outside the corporation.
From this it will be seen that Council
cannot have the toll house removed
from the town only in the manner
stated.
