Mr.. LYNCH WILL ALSO BUILD
Said TO Have Recently Stated to Friends
His Intention TO Have Road to
Akron In the Near Futsre.--
Some Street Railway

The News Democrat exclusively car
ried. Tues lay. the granting of the fran
chise to Mr. Childs. by the Summit
county commi sioners, to construct an
electric line through Summit county to
connect with the point in Stark county
for which a franchise was recently
granted by the Stark county commits
sioners. The grant was made late in
the day as detailed in the News Dem
ocrat
AS IL now stands the company will
be given until December /. 1901, to COM
plete the line. The promoter has also
agreed to depo'it certified check for
81 200 with the commiss 'oners as a for
felt for the compliance with the terms
of the agreement.
"The franchise is the strongest and
most satisfactory one ever agreed upon
by the board and any applicant" said
Commits sioner John Moore, at Akron
Tuesday. "and both parties are much
pleased with the terms agreed upon"
The granting of the franchise now
leaves nothing in the way of the speedy
construction of the line. Rights-of-
way have already been secured over the
Greentown route, and Mr.. Childs has
declared that he will have no difficulty
in having the road financed 1t is
known that there are number of per-
IONS who will be glad to furnish the
money If those upon whom Mr.. Childs
is now depending, fail to get behind
him with the necessary money.
1t is also said that William A. Lynch,
Of Canton, will surely construct line
to Akron. He is said to favor the route
from Reedurban to TurkeyfOot lake
and BarbeTtOn, but may consider the
route by way of Canal Fulton yet 1t
is said that he has remarked to friends
very recently that he would have a line
to Akron in the near future. 1t is also
probable that he will build a line as
far east as Louisville in the event of
the failure of the Alliance Canton line
to be built.

OWNERS OF DOGS
Obscure When the Taxes Are to Be Paid
Many Complaints Are Made.

Treasurer Harvey Smith is not the
only courthouse official whose ears ars
assailed by complaints of Taxpayers
Of course, in his case, he merely advises
the complainants to pay up and look
pleasant" However, in Auditor Reed S
office there is another source of COM
plant. The taxpayers aver that they
can't be compelled to pay taxes on a
dog that does not belong to them. OF
course they pour grievances into the
ears of the auditor. and ask him to cor
rect the assessments.
1t would be unnatural for an assessor
who sees dog in the yard of a citi-
zen, to inquire each time to whom the
dog belongs. The inference Is that he
belongs where he is seen. Then the
citizen is charged with keeping a dog
and consequently must pay the tax.
In the past few days several tax
payers have called at the auditors Of
flee to complain concerning dogs which
they were charged with but which are
not owned by them. The auditor has
not the time to find out who really
owns the dog. OF course he belongs to
somebody, and somebody must pay
the tax. The commissioners readily re-
spond to the claims made upon them by
farmers where sheep are killed, and the
dog tax must be paid.

Figures Showing Just What
Could Have Been Saved
to Stark County
WHEN THE CONTRACT WAS LET
Highest Bios Would Not Have Placed the
Figure Owe $4,000, While Lowest
Ones Would Have Kept the Canal
Fulton Bridge Under
$1,000.

1t is rather amazing 10 the ordinary
citizen that there should be stone
bridge, of the dimensions of that at
Canal Fulton, necessary in a town of
1000 inhabitants. There is no such a
bridge in Canton, If, indeed anywhere
else in the county.
The distance across the stream is $50
feet. This is spanned by three immense
stone arches that rise 20 feet above the
water level. There is a double drive
way across the bridge and two foot
paths, making it commodious enough
to accommodate the traffic of city of
Ten times the population of Canal
Fulton.
1t is said by men expert in bridge
building that an iron bridge with the
double driveway and two footpaths
could have been constructed for half
the money that it has cost to build this
one.
The original plan was to place an iron

were advertised for and received. Both
the Canton bridge companies and that
at Massillon put in bids. That of the
Wrought Iron Bridge company. of Cam
ton, was $4,000. The Massillon concern
was $1,000 higher, =, and the Canton
Bridge company bid $4,000.
A fair estimate of the cost of the
abutments and approaches, it is said,
would be from $1,000 to $1,000. This
would keep the total cost of the struc-
ture below $4,000, if the outside figures
were taken; under $1,000 if the lowest
bid and estimate on abutments were
considered. o.. ra.
While it is urged that stone bridges
need no repairs in the way of painting
or planking, yet the interest on the
amount of money represented by the
difference in price-some $4,000 or $12,-
0OO-would repair a good many iron
bridges every year.

THE POPULAR Vote
On the Presidential Candidates
Closely Figured by Squire
Reigner.

Squire Reigner has sustained his skill
as a mathematician. His figures on
the popular vote at the recent presiden-
tial election were exceedingly close.
Shortly before election one of the
publications in this state offered prize
of $4,000 to the first person sending in
the most accurate figures on the sue
cessful candidates popular vote. Other
prizes also were offered, and naturally
many replies were received.
Squire Reigner collated figures from
past elections and added or substract-
ed therefrom as he believed the people
would vote. The task was an arduous
one and painstaking, too, but he sent in
the figures, 7,207, 797 as McKinley's popu-
lar vote.
Announcement has been made of the
official vote of all the states excepting
Michigan, and there the party claims
have been computed. Squire Reigner
personally secured the results of the
vote from every state in the Union,
since election, and Wednesday morning
he received the official. vote of the state
of Michigan. Adding the vote of Michi-
gan to the official announcement, the
popular vote of President Mckinley Is
1901, ,269. or 56S less than the guess sent
in by Reigner.
Local politicians who have examined
the work of the squire. are congratulat-
ing HIM on the result Of his labors, and
the exactness of his figures. The squire
is jubilant and hopeful that he will
land one Of the big prizes offered.
The official vote announced from the
state of Michigan gives Mckinley 316,-
269, and Bryan 211,6S5. The official
popular vote for Mckinley, not includ-
ing Michigam was 6.891,000, and foi
Bryan 6,143,342. With official figures
from Michigan, Mckinley receives T..
| 2O7.269, and Bryan $3.50 McKinley's
popular vote is S52,242 more than that OF
Bryan. The party estimate of Michigan
by Republicans was. $4,000, and b,
| Democrats 100000. The official vot'
shows that McKinley's popular vot'
| there has fallen considerably.

A COUNTY Ditch
Near New Baltimore Discussed
By Portage and Stark Com.
miSSiOnerS.

A joint session of the Stark and Port
age county commissioners was held
Wednesday morning in this city. The
question under discussion was as to the
projection of the Saint ditch, in the
vicinity of New Baltimore. This ditch
has been the bone of contention between
property owners and county commits
sioners for several months, and when
the session convened Wednesday there
were many of the residents in attend
ancc at the commissioners office.
The Saint ditch will be $500 feet long
and will cost about $500. The first
bearing occurred October 1S, the second
October 20, and the hearing Wednesday
morning was adjourned to January 3rd,
at 1890 o'clock, so as to give the ,attor-
neys on the part Of the property owners
an opportunity of further investigating
the matter. "a
Commissioners Merwin, Hamrnon and
Shepherd, of Portage county, came here
Wednesday morning ostensibly to pro-
ceed with the hearing, but they will
have to return at the time to which the
hearing was adjourned.
Inasmuch as the ditch passes through
several farms, the land owners will be
called upon to pay portion of the cost.
The general contention is assumed by
some of the land owners that the ditch
does not benefit them, and they should
not be charged with any portion of Its
construction. Judge A. A. Thayer and
P. Faweett represented interested
land owners

ARRESTED INCLEVELAND
Lotus Gray, Who Was Wanted
In Probate Court,
DID NOT GO TO ALASKA,
But Hied Himself to Cicveiand.--tiis
Bondsmen Called and Paid the Costs,
Afterwards Had Gray Arrested.

Several weeks ago when the case was
called in probate court charging Lot-
tus Gray with keeping gambling APP
paratus in his house, it was reported to
the probate judge that Gray had started
for the Klondike. and the Canton Brew
ing company were called upon, as
bondsmen, to forfeit the costs in the
case.
The rumor was investigated so far
as possible by the authorities and moth
ing additionally was learned as to the
whereabouts of Gray, and 1t was gen.
orally accepted as true that he had
gone to Alaska.
AS bondsnIen for Gray. the brewing
company came into court and paid
about $2S in costs which had accumu-
lated. Then the matter was dropped as
far as Gray was concerned. A short time
ago, the brewing company received In
formation that Gray did not go to
Alaska as first reported, but that he
was still in this state.
a warrant was Immediately obtain
ed for his arrest, and Constable Henry
went to Cleveland a few days ago where
he succeeded in airesting Gray
Naturally Gray was not anxious to re-
turn here. and he tried to avoid arrest
by stating that he had already paid
the brewing company. The constable
placed little credence in Gray's state
ment, and insisted that he put up
sufficient money to secure the brewing
company and the costs which were ad-
ded by the second arrest. Gray put up
the money and promised to come to
this city Thursday and pay the brew
ing company the entire sum of money
due.
