IN A PRETTY TANGLE.
GiIIett School Plumbing is Causing a
Great Deal of Trouble for the
School Board.
IT MAY BE SETTLED IN COURT
Members of Board Claim That Contract
Has Not Been Carried Out and Will
Refuse to Pay for the Work.

Just at present it seems that the city
will soon be engaged in costly 1itiga-
ticn growing out of the building Of the
new Gi11ett school. At the time of the
construction of the new building the
work of the plumbing in the building
was given by contract to Burr Bros.
After the school had been turned over
to the Board it appears that the work
was not done according to contract
and the Board have refused to allow
the bills of the plumber until the work
is changed according to the plans.
Here is where the fight has begun and
it will probably end in the courts. AS
to the blame for the error, it is very
hard to place it. The plumbing con
tractors have admitted that the cold
air ducts which are the cause of the
trouble, were not laid exactly as
planned by the architect, but they
claim in defense of the change in the
plans that the change was authorized
by the architect who was superintend-
ing the construction of the building.
The main trouble is found in the fact
that the ducts are constan t1y filled with
water and it is claimed that this fault
results from the fact that the ducts
were built of brick and cement instead
of single tile as the contract called for.
The board holds that even if the con-
tractor did make the changes which
were made with the authority of the
architect that this fact will not release
them from liability. On the other hand
the company state that the board is
all wrong and if the body continue to
refuse to allow their bills they will
bring suit against the city to secure
the amount due them. There is still
due on the contract to Burr Bros. nearly
$500 and the building and grounds
committee will hold a meeting on next
Monday evening to decide as to what
will be done in the matter.
1t is said that the fact that the water
remains in the cold air ducts has COM
p1ete1y ruined the venti1ating system
of the school and it is certainly right
that someone should see that the work
was completed as per contract before
the money for it is paid

Divide the Burden,

A great injustice has been done the
farmers in expecting them alone to
shoulder the responsibility and the ex-
pense Of building country roads, while
the construction of canals has been
heavily subsidized, while rivers have
been made navigable by the govern
ment and while untold millions have
been showered upon railroads by cities,
villages, counties, states and the nation
in stock and bond subscriptions, cash
donations and grants Of boundless
tracts Of public lands. 1t is time to
do away with the cruel injustice which
places upon farmers and upon the
small fraction Of property in the state
which they own the entire burden Of
building highways.

WANT BETTER HIGHWAYS.
Michigan Fruit Belt Feels the Need
of Good Roads.


Indiana and Michigan towns are'rap-
idly following each other in a move
ment to improve country roads. The
town of Michigan City recently engag-
ed in obtaining the signatures Of free
holders to a petition in which the ques-
ton of submitting the improvements
of roads in five townships of the coun-
ty to the voting population is propos-
ed. The merchants of the town have
found it necessary to take some action
in order to save or foster it's coun-
try trade. The town Of Laporte spent
large amount of money In making
country trade easily accessible, and in
consequence a large area was made
tributary to the town
It is proposed to bond the townships
In order to raise the money for the
improvement. There is a movement
also to give the different roads a name
by which they will become familiar to
everybody in the county. There is now
an acrive movement going on in Ber-
rien county to connect the towns of
Benton Harbor and st, Joseph with
Sister Lakes, which is one of the best
known summer places in this section of
the state. For this purpose more than
$500 has been donated outright. This
came in large share from Benton Har-
Dor
In past years Sister Lakes has been
reached mostly from Dowagiac, which
induced considerable travel through
that town. Dowagiac is said to have
had the best roads and got the bust
ness, and now the other place is seek
ing to meet it.
In both cases the roads are sandy,
and it will be necessary to gravel them
In order to make good highways all the
year through.
Good roads are especially desirable in
Berrien county because Of the rise of
the schooner" in gathering fruit from
the country districts. Much Of the
enormous quantity of fruit shipped
from st. Joseph and Benton Harbor to
Chicago is hauled to the docks in
"schooners." A schooner is a long
coupled wagon with canvas cover,
some of which make a circuit Of 20
miles or more daily. On a good road a
team Of horses will easily haul a sur
prisingly heavy load, the loading of the
different shaped packages having been
reduced to a system.

Interesting to Pensioners.

When the Civil War broke out and
+he hest ard bravest of our young men,
and some who were not so young en-
1;s+ed for the defence of the Union,
they were promised, if not by the voice
of LEGISLATION, by the moral assurances
of the entire country north or Mason S
and Dixon's line, that their families
and those dependent on them, should
NOT he allowed to suffer for any OF the
necessities of life, and themselves, II
MANNED bv wounds, or inval1ded IN
consequence of disease contracted when
in the army, or enfeebled and disabled
because of advancing years, that they
should be amply provided for Much
has been done by way of pensions and
soldiers homes, but still the Nations
debt to her soldiers remains unpaid,
nor can if ever be cancelled, and the
question constantly arises, have we
fulfilled our pledges to them? In view
of the needs of certain veterans, and
the Republics responsibilities 1t is a
n1easant satisfaction to record that the
pension bill that was approved by the
@. A. r. at it's last encampment, and
which passed the Senate IN January, IS
now under discussion in the House, and
that there seems no reason to doubt
either it's final passage, or the endorse
111ert of the President.
SIT provides that all persons who
served ninety days or more in the mill
tary or naval service of the United
States during the civi1lwar, who were
honorab1y discharged, and who are
now or who may hereafter be suffering
from any mental or physical disability
or disabilities of permanent char
acter, not the result of their own vic
ious habits, which incapac1tates them
from the performance of manual labor
so as to earn support, shall, upon max
ing proof of the fact, be placed upon
the list of invalid pensioners of the
United States, and be entitled to re-
ceive a pension not exceeding 912 per
month and not less than So per month,
proportional to the degree of inability
to earn a support.
This bill does not affect the soldiers
of the Spanish and Philippine wars,
but of course they will be treated with
equal generosity by the magnanimous
American people.
