WE understand that a petition
is quietly being circulated in the
wess part of the county asking
for u new division of the county
into five commissioner districts.
This is in compliance with a
threat made that unless Mr..
Bentley's paper and other inter-
ests we're taken care of the
county would, be redistricted
and two new commissioners foist-
ed upon the county. Thus, to
further the private interests of
individuals the county is to have
two additional officials foisted
upon it for future years. The
peculiar feature of the affair is
that there has been no public
demand for this additional ex-
pense, the question not having
been even mentioned in thenews-
papers or at any public meeting.
