by the lure of a blue uniform and
brass buttons.

Township Squab-
BILE Is Again Contin-
ued.
REMONSTRANCE REFUSED.
COUNTY COMMISSIONER IN SES-
SION STATE THAT THE TIME
FOR FILING THE DOCUMENT
HAD PASSED.

Yesterday afternoon after a lengthy
discussion, the county commissioners
decided to reject the two bids on the
road petitioned for, in Washington
township on the grounds that the bids
were not satisfactory. The commits
sioners also refused toaccept the re-
monstrance against the road, ruling
that the time for the filing Of remon-
STRANGE had passed. The commits
sioners have authorized the county
auditor to readvertise for bids on the
road.
One of the contractors who entered
a bid for construction of the road fail
ed to specify any amount in he bond
filed with the commissioners. The
other bidders has as his securities
parties residing in Bartholomew coun-
ty. This was not acceptable to the
commissioners, because it would es-
tablish a precedent for accepting
bonds of contractors who had as their
bondsmen parties not residing in
Wayne county.
The squabble over the Washington
township road has existed since last
October. This was the first road Pc
titioned for in Wayne county under
the new road law passed by the last
legislature. After bids on the con-
struction of the road had been adver-
tised for a remonstrance against the
construction of theroad was filed in
the circuit court. Last week Judge
Fox ruled that he had no jurisdiction
to act on the matter as the remou-
STRANGE should have been filed at the
proper time in the commissioners
court. In refusing to accept the re-
monstrance the commissioners held
that the only phase of the question
they had at that time to consider was
the bids that had been entered. In the
event the commissioners let contract
for demonstration Of the road after
new bids have been received, it is
probable that demonstrators will ap.

ers tackled the public depository ques.
| tion. 1t was decided that the share
of the public funds formerly deposited
With the Richmond Trust company
which recently combined with the
Dickinson Trust company, should be
distributed among the other deposi
| tories according to their capital stock
The commissioners ruled that the
Dickinson Trust company was not en-
titled to a larger share Of the public
funds than it originally bid for not
withstanding the fact that the CAPT
tai stock of the Dickinson Trus,
company has increased since its com
bination with the Richmond Trust
company
