buildings Disagree

Mrs Mary A. Thomas the owner Of
premises IL ID street, was notified some
time ago by the inspector of buildings TO
make certain repairs to the building. the
structure being deemed by the inspector to
be In an unsafe condition. The inspector
gave her ten days in which to make the re
CURED repairs but Mrs Thomas appealed
from his decision. depositing the sum Of
$50 required by law I'm such cases. and
asked that a commission be authorized to
examine the building. That was done, and
Mrs Thomas claimed. upon a report by the.
commission, that 1t had decided in her IA
Nor. and that she was therefore. entitled
to have the sum deposited by her returned
to her. The matter WAS referred to the,
attorney for the District who has sus-
tanned Mrs. Thomas claim.
1T Will be observed" saws the Commits
sicners legal adviser in his opinion. thai
the inspector condemned the two unnar
stories. The commission did not require
the two upper stories to he removed but
found that the building could he made
safe without the removal of either Of th,,
stories. In this the commission entirely
disagreed with the. inspector of buildings

Warren county is a storm center
of politics in the closing days Of the
campaign. At recent meetings Of the
Bowling Green committee and the
county committee, new chairmen
were elected, one Goebel man and
the other Stone man. The old
chairmen who were Hardin men re-
sisted removal and questioned the
authority of Committeeman Rhea to
fill vacancies in the county COM
mittees, producing an old 1895 rule.
The rules of 1896 and 1897 place
this power in the hands of the dis
trict Committeeman and the only APP
peal is to "a majority of the State
Central Committee not to the
chairman, who was shorn of all
power except that of a presiding
officer. AS the State Central Com
mittee in the Dunlap appeal a year
ago voted to sustain the local MEM
bers in such cases, Mr.. Rhed is
clearly in the right, since he did
nothing except to fill vacancies,
and this was done weeks ago. The
rule applicable to county COM
mittees reads as follows:
Each County and Legislative
district committee, if any, shall
elect one of its members Chairman,
and another Secretary, and may
remove them at pleasure and APP
point others in their places. '
This is so plain that it cannot be
misunderstood and the retired
chairmen are simply pursuing rev.
tactics. 1t is said they
will go so far as to call and hold
conventions, in which the
friends of only one candidate will
and send a contesting
delegation to the State Convention.
This of course amounts to a sur
render of the county, if anything
like fairness is to prevail in the set
tlement of such contests BY the
State Convention.

We do not believe the Democrats
~of Christian county should vote for
any candidate for Governor whose
position on the present election law,
50 essential to fair elections in this
county, is not clearly understood.
Two of the three candidates Sena-
tor Goebel and Capt. Stone-are in
favor of the law and will if nominated
defend it on the stump. AS between
these, other things being equal, Capt.
Stone has claims upon this county
that should not be overlooked.
He is our near neighbor, in the
same judicial district, and bound to
us by many common ties. While
the Democrats of the county feel
grateful to Senator Goebel for his
interest in the Senate in many
matters concerning them, Capt.
Stone is from our own section of the
State and IS therefore entitled to
their first consideration.
