MAD AT THE
COMMISSIONERS.
Massillon Wants County to Pay
for Repairing Bridges.
THEY HAVE SENT A CHECK
But the Amount is not what the People
of Massillon Thought Proper
Under All the Circum-
stances.

Special to News-Democrat.
Massillon, Nov. 14.-The city council of
this city is mad clean through because
the county commissioners, it is alleged,
have not paid the city's bills for the
repairing of bridges within the limits.
City Clerk Seaman sent in a bill for
nearly $1,000 some weeks ago and the
commissioners Topped off few hundred
dollars and sent a check for $921.S1.
This made the council mad and the
city fathers will now ask the. commits
sioners to fork over the city's share of
the bridge fund. Massillon's share
amounts, according to City Clerk Sea-
man, to between $4,000 and $4,000. With
this sum it is contended the bridges of
the city can be kept in first class con-
dition and the council will not have to
be placed in the humiliating position
of having to beg the commissioners
for money spent on the repairs. Mas
sillon is a city for bridges. With two
streams running through the center Of
| town 1t is necessary to maintain them
in first class condition. Sums less than
$40 are often expended in repairs and,
1t is said, the commissioners take ad-
vantage of the law which provides
that repairs amounting to less than $40
must be made at the city's expense.
The council insist that with their por-
tion of the fund they may make repairs
to any eXetent and pay for them. So
it has been about settled that the city
will demand their portion of the fund
and do with it as they please without
interference from the trio in the front
end of the court house at Canton.
McKEAN THE REFEREE.
Massillon, Nov. 14.-Ed. Mexican the
ex-short stop of the Cleveland base
ball team, will referee the Simms- Burgo
bout which occurs in this city on the
evening of November 21.-Eddie Fore
man, the fast Canton boy who fought a
draw with Jack Farmer, of Akron, in
this city during the summer, will again
tackle the Akron boy in a 10 round con-
test. This will be the chief event in the
preliminaries which also contain sever
al interesting bouts. Large crowds are
expected from Canton and Akron
Massillon sports will attend in force.
DEBS WILL SPEAK.
Massillon, Nov. 14-Eugene V. Debs
will speak in this city the evening OF
December at the Christian church
The trades and labor assembly has
carried on correspondence with Debs
manager for some weeks and at last
secured date. Secretary j. T. Jenkins
now announces that the great labor
agitator will positively be in the city
at the time mentioned and there is re-
joicing in labor circles
