County Gets Much Property.

County Gets Much Property.
In the settlement of the taxes of r.
I. Evans the county gets clear title to
the following property: The Harris
tract, just above Chautauqua grounds;
u 40 acre tract comprising the fish pond
near Chautauqua Park; Theresa Park;
a strip of land on west side of
the creek extending from Mime
kahta avenue to the court house;
Sulphur springs (near court house):
one lot above court house; together
with about 30 lots in different portions
of town. This gives the county con-
siderable property, some of which can
be we'll utilized for public purposes
the strip along the creek for instance
can be made into public driveway,
the fish pond, park, spring, and some
of the other property is naturally
property that the public uses most.
The commissioners have also been
discussing the advisability of using
the Harris property for establishing u
county poor house. or sanitarium, and
maintaining thereon a truck farm to
make it pay it's way. BY taking all
this property the county wipes out Il
good sized lump of old taxes.
