against canceling a contract between r. r.
and John A. Gadbury and the Ohio and In
diana Consolidated Natural and Illuminat-
ing Gas Company, by which the latter was
to have the right to drill for gas and oil on
the Gadbury land, the company to pay the
land owners 800 a year for the product of
each gas we'll while the gas was used off
the premises and one-sixth of all oil pro-
duced. The complaint alleged that the
company drilled a gas well and found a
large quantity Of gas, but closed the well
and refused to transport the gas. The land
owners contended that the lease was for
feited by the failure to perform the "im-
piled covenant to operate.

SOUTH BEND PLAN
To Separate the school City from
Municipality.

Steps may be taken at the coming ses-
sion of the Legislature to separate the
municipal and school corporations of South
Bend. This was the statement made last
night by Senator Albert NJ. Burns, of that
city.
South Bend has reached the limit IN
taxation" said Senator Burns, land has
reached the per cent. limit In the amount
Of debt A large number of public improve
ments are under way, including several
new school buildings, and neither the city
nor the School Board has at present the
resources to complete the work. 1t has
been proposed that the Legislature divorce
the municipal city and the school city, with
the result that money can be raised to
complete our improvements. The matter
s7ill doubtless be brought up this winter"
Senator Burns said that he did not in
tend offering any bills for the considera-
ton of his colleagues this winter He was
asked where he stood on the voting ma
chimes proposition, and he replied: I'm
against them. That is, you can say that
I'm from ST Joseph, Mo-, instead of from
ST. Joseph county, this State, on that ques-
tion-you must show me. If a thoroughly
satisfactory machine can be secured and
one that will not bankrupt the counties
when they come to pay for 1t, 1 may vote
for it."

PARK BOARD HAS PLANS
1T SEEKS AN ANNUAL INCOME FROM
THE TAX LEVY.
Ten Cents of the Ninety-Cent Levy
VIII Provide Ample Sum
Vacancy still Unified.

At its meeting this morning the Board of
Park Commissioners will discuss legisla-
ton. The board has twice asked for legis-
lative relief and will try again. The board
has faith that the third trial will bring
success. The board has placed the engi-
neering of its amendment in the hands of
Representative ]. r. Morgan.
The amendment asked for will be pro-
vision to segregate a portion of the tax
levy annually for park purposes. Under the
charter, which fixes 80 cents as the tax
limit for all purposes, there is no fixed
portion of that amount designated for
parks The Park Board therefore has to
depend largely on the bounty of the admin
istration for it's appropriation. This year
the board received only $4,000. the largest
item being for maintenance. For next year
the present administration increased the
amount sl1,0O and undertook to provide
500, 900 additional for boulevard purposes
by bond issue, but this the Council has
intercepted
Of the 90-cent maximum be set aside ire
vocably for park purposes. This would
provide an annual income for the board.
undsturbed by anything, OF $4,000 or more.
The board deems this adequate to carry
forward the work of improvements. Its
chief advantage Is that IL gives security
TO plans which the board may adopt with
regard to improvements which will require
systematic development through a number
OF years. The adoption of this provision Is
regarded as necessary by the board In order
that the works already done may not lose
much of their value by their uncompleted
state. There are driveways TO be continued
and completed, water service extensions,
lagoons to be constructed and a hundred
minor improvements that are more than In
cidental parts of the general park scheme.
They cannot be properly attended to out
OF the meager appropriation now made.
Mayor Bookwalter has not yet appointed
the successor to Isaac King, the Democratic
member of the board who resigned some
weeks ago. The mayor IL Is said, will Sc
lect one of two men whom he has under
consideration.

CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE)
Bicknell was given a substantial increase
there.
There were no new developments yester-
day In the situation between the Governor
and the members OF the board. but IL was
said that Governor Durbin had not request
ed the other members TO resign. Shiveley
and Terhune were not appointed by the
Governor, and consequently they are I'M
der no especial obligations to him. Hence
he cannot request them to retire except
for gross neglect OF duty. but In the case
OF Mcdonald and Williams. the men whom
he complimented and gave an especial evil
dence OF his confidence In appointing them
10 the board. IL Is different. Without vio-
lating any presidents. or making a rad
ically new departure. he may request them
TO resign when they have violated his con-
fidence. They may not have to grant his
request, and. indeed. the Governor may not
attempt 10 force them out. but IL would be
regarded as an unusual proceeding for a
man TO insist on retaining an honorary po-
sition, which carries no emoluments after
the Governor who appointed him had indi-
Gated that he wished him to retire.

school is to be located. but will provide
that the question OF location shall be left
