Architect Benz asked for the res
malnder OF what he said is coming to
MIN on the new county Jail plans last
night at the meeting of the board OF
county commissioners. He said that
II was simply a business PROPOSE
ton with him; the money is due and
we would like to have it as soon as
possible" When it was suggested
that the city building inspector had
not passed upon the plans, and had
not signified any favorable intention
OF passing upon the drawings favor
ably, Mr.. Benz said that such was
unofficial, yet he did not press his re-
quest, and seemed satisfied when the
board suggested that he wait for the
balance until the city trouble is over
with, the meaning of that sugges-
ton being that the plans were not so
sure of being passed by the building
inspector and in case that such an
unfavorable action be taken, there
would be obtained no permit and
there would be no building.
Mr.. Benz then asked for more time
in which to prepare and submit plans
covering the heating, wiring. plumb
ing, etc. of the new building. He
suggested that thirty days be allow
ed him. When told that the build
ing inspector would hardly consider
the plans unless all schedules were
produced and filed, he said that he
would have them ready as early as
possible and that would probably be-
in about a week. Should such be the
case, the plans will be presented next
Tuesday night at the regular meet
ing of the board.
The schedules as desired by City
Building Inspector Johnson were not
in the city last night and it was
thought that they would arrive during
the afternoon! Mr.. Benz said he
was sure they would be on hand by
Thursday afternoon.

TO GUST SQUATTERS. -,
/. In obedience to a resolution which
had been passed by-t board at a
former meeting, Road SupervisoT
O'Neal presented the name of Julia
Anderson as one whose premises ara
occupying portion of the national
cemetery road. The board asked Ia
that was the only one occupying the
roadway. and it developed that. soms
of the largest homesteads in the
county were taking up portion OF
the S0-foot right-of-way, and the road
supervisor was ordered to report to
the board at the next meeting the
names of all who wer ethus taking a
part of the road Illegally. The ona
name presented was that of a negro
woman who did not own the place.
The road supervisor stated that ha
had been unaware of any Instructions
relative to getting and presenting tho
names of all "squatters," and that
the minutes showed that he was sick
when the orders were issued. The
instructions were issued to secure
the names of all and present the
same. Upon receipt of the same, the
county attorney, who has been so In
structed, will institute legal pro-
ceedings to move them from the
right-of-way
BALKED AT EXPENSE.
At former meeting of the board
it had been decided to enter con-
demnation proceedings against T. !.
Davidson, who objected to a selected
route of roadway from Gonzalez to
the bank of the river. All necessary
data except a portion of the minutes
bearing upon the proceedings as
noted had been prepared for the coun-
ty attorney and a resolution was
asked by the attorney of the board
defining the width of the proposed
roadway. 1t was decided to make it
thirty feet. Then Commissioner Da-
Wis called attention to the fact that
there would be a heavy expense in
such proceedings. and that under the
law it must be borne by the county.
That was something that had evil
IDENTIFY not been figured, for the board
at once decided not for the present
at least, to enter into such expense,
and told the county attorney TO hold
up in the matter of condemnatory
