WILL RECEIVE BIDS
ON LIGHTING PLANT
County Has One for Sale That
Is In Good Condition.
AS TO TRACTION. FRANCHISE

When the county commissioners
meet Saturday of this week bids will be
received on the electric light plant
which has been stored in the basement
of the court house for some time This
plant was formerly used in lighting
the court house, but its capacity was
not large enough SO two or three
years ago it was placed out of commits
sion and the lighting of the court
house has since been supplied by the
Municipal light plant. 1t is stated that
the court house plant is in excellent
condition, and it is expected to sell at
good figure.
Under the Sheriffs Wing.
The commissioners Saturday will be
tucked under the protecting wing of
Sheriff Meredith and conducted in and
about the county Jail. The sheriff
claims the jail is very unsanitary and
his statement is borne out in report
made by the grand jury last January.
There is no drainage in the basement
and as a result, pools of water can
be found there almost any time.
Plum to Local Men.
The commissioners at their meeting
are also expected to dispose of the ap-
pIication of the Hamilton & Richmond
traction company for a franchise by
refusing to grant the franchise. 1t is
probable that at this meeting the of
ficers of the Ohio & Indiana traction
company, now being organized. will
apply for a franchise and this compa-
ny is expected to draw the plum.

DENIAL IS ENTERED

No Discrimination Against Ne

QUESTIONS NOT ASKED.

The treasurer of the Gennett theater
states that as far as the house he is
employed by is concerned, the charge
made in council that colored people
are being Disseminated against in To-
cal playhouses, could not be applied.
Three days in advance of every
show that appears at our house." re-
marked the theatrical man. We place
the plat of the house at the Westcott
pharmacy and tickets are sold there
to anyone. white or black, who has
the price to pay for them. When col
ored people apply at the box office for
tickets on the show nights, we sell
them whatever they ask for. A good
many white people object when they
are given seats next to colored pa
irons OF the house. When such kicks
are made we try to give the offended
people seats elsewhere. That is the
limit of the discrimination shown to
colored people at our theater. One
reason why most colored people are
seated in the rear rows OF the house is
because few buy the more expensive
seats nearer the stage"
