NEW CASTLE April 3.-rhe
Trustees Of the Commons are trying TO
catch straw. About ten tons Of baled
straw disappeared from the Penn
Farm, which had been tenantod by
Joseph Quigley. AT the meeting OF the
trustees last evening Treasurer Nc
Grory reported that I'm company with
Mr. Shaw, Jr, of the acting committee.
he visited the farms He reported that
some of the farm buildings win need
repairs. and that a few stretches Of
new fences viii be wanted. When they
visited Dobsons farm Harry Hance
was there baling straw and for a time
they were unable 10 see the tenant.
Then he appeared and said he under
stood the law gave him the right to sell
Ia order to ply his rent. Members
laughed az this expression, as under
the lease he can be fined double the
value Of any such property sold. AT
the Penn farm no traces OF the baled
straw was found.
President Rodney knew the straw
had been there, for he saw It, Some
action should be taken.
Mr.. Deemer said he could see no diff
ference in the hauling away OF the
fences and the selling Of the straw
when the lease forbid doing so.
The acting committee will make an
Investigation and at the next meeting
the trustees will instruct the committed
to take action.
When the bill Of Harry Hance was
presented Mr. Deemer said that here.
after he would demand an itemized bill
for work done. 1t is not satisfactory {,
say ia hours at 40 cents an hour
The days, hours and work should b'
ltemized.
Mr.. McGrory said that the tenants
on each farm hereafter vlli O. X. tn
