WHAT CITIZEN WILL APPLY 7

Judge Kohler's decision in the Ken
field case is judicial finding that
Akron Is insolvent; that is, that 1t
eannot pay It's debts and Is not likely
bo do 10 for some time 10 come.
As the law of Ohio In regard to
bankrupt corporations is very plain,
we renew our suggestion of few
weeks ago that some one apply for u
receiver.
No one doubts that a dlsinterested
and able business man-owing no
political debts, such as Mr.. o. G. Bar
ber, for example, could take up the
affairs OF this city and 80 manage
them that inside of two years its
debts would be paid, its obligations
promptly met and It's credit restored.
In addition to this, we should have an
efficient administration and sense
OF safety to person and property. Bust
ness principles would obtain In all de-
partments, and by that time we should
be well rid Of system In which the
ruling principle Is that political debts
must be paid and others be made to
walt
Now that the bankruptcy of Akron
has been fixed, we hope some cItizer
viii apply for the relief which II
other cases of corporate insolvency Il
applied.
It's the quickest way of getting rlc
