After stormy three hour argu-

open bids i'm hand for indexing the
county records. the county commits
sioners and eight men who had sub
mitted bids yesterday decided they
would take chances on illegality and
opened the bids According to dec
laration of Attorney +. X. Murphy he
will carry the matter up To the su-
preme court OF the state before he
allows the contract price TO be paid.
Because of their belief that the
present method of indexing the rec
oTds, although the same generally IN
use over the state. is faulty, the COM
missioners determined that they
would advertise for new system and
see If Improvement could not be OBJ
tained. This was done and yester-
day fixed for opening the bids. Mr..
Murphy Immediately after the meet
ing was called to order protested
against action, saying that the pres
ent system was according TO law and
the commissioners had no right to
make new law. He also declared
that indexing had been paid for once

in judgment was apparent In the ad-
yertisement. he stated. as the COM
missioners were advertising for a
contract To be completed January 4.

pires on the day previous.
Attorneys McElroy and Coleman
spoke shortly in answer to him, as
did G. S. Hoag and II. Y. Meloy, two
of the bidders, following which the
commissioners decided they were
willing to risk the proceedings which
Mr.. Murphy might bring If the bid
ders were willing to stand the chance
of losing their money. This was
agreed to by all and after more dis
cussion the bids were opened. They
were found to he as follows: Harry

NEW YoRK's ENORMOUS
ARMY OF UNEMPLOYED.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

New York. Special: There is a
great army of unemployed In New
York. The skilled mechanics have felt
the unhappy condition of the money
market the hardest. The stringency
has compelled the speculative builders
to wait until a time when money will
flow more readily, and as q conse-
quence 1t is estimated that more than
$4,000 men in the building trades alone
are out of employment.
The members OF the Building Trades
Employers association say that build
ting Operations will be considerably less
In 1908 than they have been in many
years. In 1903 the construction OF Office
buildings was so plentiful that there
were not men enough to do the work
and the workers received double pay
for overtime. The years 1905 and 1906
were not rs good, but there was work
for every n until the non crisis
came.
On top of this came the
ment that the city had called a halt in
