To Present Cottage
Question to the People.
PETITIONS RECEIVED
BY the Com missioners and
Ora nted--Audftor instructed
to Report Action to Eiec-
tion Board.

The county commissioners have Ia
ken action upon the petitions that
were submitted to them for resub-
mission Of the question of levying a
tax to aid in the erection of a woman's
cottage at the infirmary. After look
ing over the petitions a resolution was
offered and the following entry made
upon the journal:
"On motion of Summers, the prayer
Of the petition was granted and the
auditor was instructed to certify the
same to the board of elections"
The heading of the petition read as
follows:
To the commissioners Of Stark coun-
ty, Ohio:
The undersigned taxpayers of Stark
BILE board to again submit to the voters
of this county at the next annual
spring election, the question as to the
policy of levying such tax as may be
necessary for the purpose of erecting
woman's cottage at the Stark coun-
ty infirmary.
AuullOT Ttceu lHlOiui tnc Conhhio-
sioners that to raise $4,000 in Stark
county levy of .0025 mills would be
necessary, which would mean 25 cents
upon each $1,000 of taxable property
in the county.
1t was further stated by the com
missioners that after 1908. when the
law required that all insane should be
removed from the infirmaries of the
state and sent to the hospitals, there
would be ample room with the addi'
tion of the woman's cottage that Is
contemplated. The insane building car
then be used for the men, which will
allow the complete separation of the
sexes
It was stated also that the present
main building at the infirmary hat
been built 67 years ago.
The commissioners allowed the fol
lowing bills

Columbus. March 5.--The New Bal
timore school bill will be held up but
a few days longer. Senator Wilhelm
now has oil the facts before him and
1t may be said that he has been doing
a lot of thinking. julius Whiting, Jr.
has arranged the facts in the style OF
a man who wants to earn his salary
and his presentation of the case has
made an impression. He doesn't like
Sam. Newhouse very well and there
are some other gentlemen associated
with him that he does not favor, but
there are some on the other side too
who have not always favored him, SO
he feels that all things personal to
the measure are equal and he can look
at the measure on its merits.
In the house Messrs. Pollock and
Metzgar had the same array of facts
before them, and they resolved them
In favor of the bill.
Whether Senator Wilhelm will see
things In the same light is a problem
He is taking particular note Of the fact
that this whole matter was gone over
two years ago and that Mr. Taylor

Citizens Seek to Stop
Street Assessments.
ORDINANCE ILLEGAL
II Claim Made In Petition
East Seventh, Eighth and I
Ninth Streets Subjects ~
Of Suit.

The city OF Canton is again en-
Joined. This time it is brought to stop
the collection OF street Improvement
assessments. John A. Hay, James j.
Best and Charles o. Brown filed a petit
tion in common pleas court late Tues
day afternoon making the city Of Can
ton and Treasurer T. Harvey Smith
defendants. ,t-H
The action is brought to stop the
collection Of street assessments on
property abutting upon East Seventh,
Eighth and Ninth streets, between
Market and Cherry. The principal
contention is that the ordinance was
illegally drawn and not in accord with
the resolution authorizing 1t, and for
that reason It. is irregular and void.
The petition asserts that the resolu-
tion provided that not only the abut-
ting property owners should be as
sessed for the improvements and paw
ing, but that property adjacent and
contiguous thereto should also be as
sessed in proportion to the benefits,
and that all assessments should be
made with reference to the benefits de-
rived.
When the ordinance was drawn 1t
provided for the assessing of abutting
property only, which worked a fraud
upon the property owners so assessed.
It is also claimed that the assessing
board did not follow the provisions
of the ordinance and was not given
proper instructions, and as result as
scosments were made upon the foot
frontage instead of upon the benefit
theory, so that owners of vacant lots
had to pay the same rates as owners
OF large business blocks who were
vastly more benefited.
= Other irregularities are charged and
the whole proceeding is summed up as
being grossly unjust and inequitable
A temporary Injunction was allowed
restraining the city and Treasurer
Smith from proceeding to collect the
assessments and notice was served
upon the officers. Attorneys Krich-
baum and Burgett represent the plain
tiffs.

Spent by Eighth Regi-
ment at Capital.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)

Columbus. March 5.-Major A. B.
Critchfield, of Shreve, major of the
Third battalion of the Eighth Ohio
National guard, was here yesterday
working in the interest of the bill in
troduced by Representative Seese, Of
Summit county, which seeks to reim-
burse the Eighth regiment for the ex-
pense involved by the command in at
tending the Inauguration of President
Mckinley.
The bill is now in the hands of the
finance committee of the house, and
Mr.. Seese expects that 1t will be re-
ported upon favorably. He thinks the
measure should be passed as its prin-
ciple is similar to the bill enacted in
to law two years to pay the military
bodies of the state for the money they
expended in attending the Dewey Gel
ebration at New York. Major Critch-
field had a conversation with Colonel
Adams, assistant adjutant general Of
Ohio, who is now engaged inspecting
the National guard of the state.
He has completed the inspection of
the Fifth regiment with the exception
of two companies, and will next in
spect the Sixth regiment after which
the Eighth regiment will be inspected.
Colonel Adams resignation as adju-
tant general takes effect in May. He
has been appointed Superintendent of
the Boys Industrial school.
