Delaware county will probably be
the first county in the state to take
advantage of the new county hospi-
tai bill. A Manchester dispatch says
that the members of the Delaware
County Medical society are discuss
ing the new law which was recently
passed by the general assembly rel
ative to the establishment of county
public hospitals in each county of the
state. The law, which provides that
a tax of two mills or less can be
levied at a special or general cleo
ton would give this county an an
nual income for this fund of about
Sill 900, so that should the fund be
allowed to accumulate for several
years, a very substantial hospital
might be erected, most likely in that
city. The project is to be brought
before the people of the county by
newspapers and petitions, and upon
the signature of $50 residents of a
township a special election may be
held for the purpose Should the
plan be carried out that city no
doubt would be the possessor of a
magnificent hospital which would be
of great assistance to the medical
fraternity of the county.

Paving Bond. Sold at Home.

The city council of Newton has
made the last payment on the Main
street paving that was laid this sum-
mer, and in connection herewith there
Is a prosperity story that speaks well
for the financial condition of the resi-
dents of Newton and vicinity. The cost
of the paving was, in round numbers,
$4,000. Owners Of property assessed
for the cost of doing the work had the
privilege of paying such assessments
in cash and enough of them took adj
vantage of this to pay SAL ,301-24 into
the city treasury, leaving bonds in the
amount of $4,000 to be issued. When
these bonds were ready, for the market
they were quickly taken by private
citizens, only few of them going
to the banks. The demand for the
bonds was so great that many more
could have been sold.
