The little town of Culver, has the
second highest tax rate in Marshall
county, with a total of $500 on the
800 valuation, including taxes for
all purposes. Plymouth stands in the
unenvied position of highest rate at
1923. Culver drops into second
place this year, last year having a
higher RATE than Plymouth The rate
for Culver this year is the same as
last, but the total rate for Plymouth
was 1888 last year. The raise IN
the rate for Plymouth, consists of
30 cent raise in the city rate, and the
creation of ten cent library rate.
The rate for the town of Culver

fifteen cents, making total reduc-
ton of 26 cents over the proposed
rate, and which will be a raise of
twenty cents over the rate of last
year, which is easily sufficient"
Councilman Clizbe argued that If
any extentions be made, that the
work should be done thoroughly, for
reasons of economy. Vangilder stated
that he thought a general fund OF
$1.0O rate to be sufficient, as the pay
ing off of city Indebtedness was TAX
en- care of, in the special % cents
rate, for the refunding bond and in
terest. This would leave larger
amount for the general fund, by 25
cents, than was had last year. The
levy was finally passed, and after
debate, the appropriation ordinance
as given above was passed, and the
first conflict in the present council
ended.

"ONLY MEANT JOKE"
Marshal Jacoby Says he Made State
ment Just to Get it Back
On Him.

The following communication over
the signature Of City Marshal Daniel
Jacoby appeared in the Democrat,
Tuesday evening.
lin Monday nights Tribune Hen
bricks published an article headed
Ridicule of Option Law and l wish
the public to know that there is not
word of truth in it from beginning
TO end. | called on Hendricks last
night and asked him to give me the
names of some of the DRINKS. The
only name he could give me was Dan
Sullivan. Now L have heard of peo-
pie being In such a condition that
they could see double, but this Is the
first time | ever heard that man
like poor Danny Sullivan could look
like thirty DRINKS. | was on the
streets the entire evening, but at no
time did | see any imam having a
serious time conducting his wife
through the streets.
Would say further that have at
all times, as an officer, tried to do
my duty, as | saw it, without fear or
favor.
If September 18th had been the
Sunday for Hendricks to have spent
with his friend at KOkOmo he
would have been saved the humllla-
ton of seeing the downtown district
in the condition he claims it to have
been. Yours truly,
Dan w. Jacoby, City Marshal. ?"
We will not comment on the crude
ness of the communication itself,
but will remark briefly on the
Thought thereof.
That the city was full of DRINKS
Sunday evening, is beyond all ques-
ton. A score of people have COM
mented upon the fact, that the ccn-
dition of Sunday was the worst which
the city has seen for three years.
One man passed the alley in the rear
of the Ormond barn, with his wife,
and suffered great embarrassment by
the drunken sight which met their
gaze. DRINKS were plainly in evi-
dence on the streets, and in the stair
WAYS, of the downtown district. No
doubt Jaeoby was In the city, In ex-
actly the same manner, as on the
Sunday when Jerry Hines, and Phil
ip Hinkle were attempting to kill
each other-Jacoby was telephoned
for at his home, to come to the scene.
In fact the efficiency of our city po-
icemen is so great, that when his
name is mentioned, everybody smiles.
In regard to the last paragraph of
the Jacoby communication, which no
doubt was sprung as a "grand-
stand" A reporter for the Tribune
interviewed Marshal Jacoby, yester-
day, and asked him, just what
morning, and asked him, just what
was meant by the allusion, to the
''friend" in Kokomo. Jacoby re-
piled that HE MEANT NOTHING
BY THAT, 81 HAD TO GET 1T
BACK AT HIM SOME Way" were
the words he used. Asked further,
the marshal who always "does his
duty as he sees it," said that editor
Metsker of the Democrat, placed the
quotation marks before the word
friend, which were not there at all on
his communication. 81 heard that
Mr.. Hendricks was at Kokomo few
weeks ago, and just thought I would
saw that to get it back at him."
spake the worthy protector of life
and liberty of the city of Plymouth.
The explanation is almost pathetic In
its righteousness.

1896

City marshal Daniel Jacoby, was
instructed by the council Monday
evening, to proceed with prosecution
for violations of the speed law, In
the city. He reported that he was
able to compute he speed Of moving
vehicles. as he knew the length of
every block, and at several places
where the greatest violations of the
speed law were made had been mark
ed off III quarter eighth, etc., mile
courses, so that good evidence could
be obtained. Jacoby stated that in
couple of eases, he had secured the
time on speeder, and when he
consulted the prosecuting attorney,
that officer told him, that he should
have another witness. The marshall
inquired of the city attorney if this
was necessary. Atty. Hess, replied
that ii was not, that if the officer
had a good margin over the statutory
limit. there would be no diffulty in
convicting.
Since the new speed signs have
been erected in the city, said the
marshall "almost all of the motorists
have showed respect for the order,
and seem TO be attempting to con-
form with the requirements, however,
there are still few who. persist in
speeding. | have the time of one auto
driver, who persists In driving at a
rate of about Is miles per hour
through the business district, where
the limit is eight" Jacoby expressed
the opinion, that no prosecution
should be brought against motorists
who might slightly exceed the limit,
but should be launched against the
fragrant violators.
Acting on the petition of City At
torney, William B. Hess, Judge Ber-
netha, Thursday appointed Frank
Lamson, S. n. Stevens and j. A.
Yockey as a board of appraisers, to
determine the value of the property.
known as the city farm, with instruc-
tions TO report the same to the City
Clerk. The council has a prospective
purchaser for the portion of the farm
which will not be used for cemetery
purposes. The farm was origionally
bought of 0. p. Bair and lies ada
cent to Oak Hill cemetery, including
and about Muckshaw lake.

BOARD OF HEALTH TELLS
HOW TO NOTE
SYMPTOMS.
Much of Trouble of Epidemics May
Be Prevented by Tie Prop
er Precautions Says The
Doctor.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 27.-The
current bulletin of the state board
OF health contains an article by DIR.
j. n. Hurry, secretary of the board,
calling on the patrons, officials and
teachers of the public schools to be-
gin early their precautions against
scarlet fever. The 5. hools in virtually
all the townships, towns and cities
begin this month. Last year scarlet
fever during the fall and winter
months interfered seriously with the
operations of hundreds of schools and
Isl the state thousands Of dollars,
to say nothing of the cost to fathers
and mothers for services Of physi-
clans and for medicine.
1t Is the purpose of the state
board to arouse sufficient interest In
persons connected with the schools to
prevent conditions which bring about
the fever. According to the bulletin,
proper precautions will prevent the
spread of the disease in any cOmmu-
nifty The disease is caused, it is
set out by a specific poison, which
may be transmitted by an infected
person by personal contact, or by
means of clothing, rags, dishes or
other articles that may have been
touched or handled by the sick per-
son. After evident recovery from the
disease, the patient may transmit the
poison for as long as eighty days,
while infected clothing may carry the
poison for years and then infect any
one wearing or handling it, tie bull

Treat Cases of Sore Throat.

fever In the school or in a commu-
nity,' says the bulletin, "all eases of
sore throat and of fever are to be
looked upon with suspicion and treat
ed the same as scarlet fever until the
true nature of the case is estab-
lished. If child who has not pre-
viOusly had an attack of scarlet fever
shouldsbe exposed to a case, it should
be carefully watched during the fol-
lowing two weeks Upon the first APP
pearance of symptoms, such as lassi-
tude, headache, frequent pulse, flush
ed face, hot, dry skin, coated tongue
with thirst aud loss of appetite, the
child should be separated Immediate

Immediately sent home until a ply
stefan has seen it and determined
whether it is scarlet fever. All per-
sons known to be sick with this dis
ease, even the mildest cases, should
be promptly and thoroughly isolated
from the public.
eff all school houses in the state
were thoroughly cleaned, disinfected
and put in good sanitary condition
before the opening of school, and if
every suspicious ease occurring
among school pupils would be prompt
ly sent home and isolated until the
true nature Of the sickness could be
established, most of the outbreaks Of

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-01-03
Especial from United Press,

New York, Jan. 3.-The so-called White Slave traffic in New York is to be investigated by a special grand jury which was sworn in today and of which John D. Rockefeller, IT,, son of the oil king, is foreman. For the first time in many months two grand juries were sworn in today for the month of January. The juries were charged by Judge O'Sullivan in the Court of Gen. eral Sessions.
 The juries will also take up many cases of alleged fraud growing out of the recent general and primary elec- tion.
 In charging the grand jury Judge OSullivan said: '"The statement has been made in the public prints that this city has been made the clearing house of the infamous White Slave traffic. This is a very grave charge and should be thoroughly investigat- ed and if it is found to be true, even in part. those who are guilty should be brought to iustice.''
 Before the jury was sworn in Judge OSullivan and John D. Rockefeller had an interesting passage of words.
 "Mr. Rockefeller the judge said, the grand jury for the month of Jan l1ary will have a. great deal of work to perform. Some if it is most i'm portant to the welfare of our city. wish that you would take charge of this grand jury which, among other things. is to investigate the White Slave traf- fic in the city. I desire that you di-

The figures which are given for the five year period for deaths, births and marriages are also in teresting. They indicate that the birth rate in Bridgeport has been not far from double the death rate and show that the natural increase in population, as the increase in excess of births over deaths is call- ed, is 5, 909. The gain for the ten year period, from 1900 from this source is probably about 11,0O0.
 Assuming that the city will show a population of 100000 at the cen- sus to be taken in June, some 19,- 900 must be derived from the en- trance of persons from other towns, states, or countries.
 Doubtless, despite the large inn migration from Europe of people who maint ain a high birthrate, the number of births in this country is destined to show a relative de- crease, at least as long as the high price of commodities and the rela- tive low rate Of wages shall pre- vail. This is an intimate connec- tion between the cost of living and the birth rate. which is shown in the statistics of all countries. The higher the cost of living, the more difficult it becomes to establish a home and the fewer the number of children that are born.
