County Auditor Charles l.. Allen has
been looking up the law recently re-
gardlng the matter of an active sealer
of weights and measures IN Marion
county. and has decided that he Will
act at once. For many years there
has been no sealer of weights and
measures In this county for the rea-
son that the proper au1ards have
never been provided and II was gen
orally believed that these would have
to be purchased by the county. Also
the fact that the compensation of the
sealer Is fixed by the amount of work
he does, has not tended to make the
office popular or much sought after.
by virtue Of law, the county auditor
Is the sealer for the county but he
has authority to appoint deputy. Mr.,
Allen today made a demand on the
state dairy and food commissioners for
the proper standards. These include
weights and measures, hut scales VIII
have to be purchased by the county.

That business conditions are not
so unsettled in some portions of MeXi-
co as Is generally supposed on this
side OF the line is indicated by in
structions received by a Marion man
this week. There, naturally, has been
a tightening up of business conditions
and public work has been at stand
still. but the fact that the Mexican
authorities are pretty well satisfied
That the trouble cannot last long Is
shown ia a letter received by ]. Il.

parents and relatives here for the
last seven months.
Mr.. Mcreness Is connected with the

which has large contracts for pub

has been employed by the Mexican
government and was superintendent
of drainage in the city of THmpi-

identified himself with the Campbell
interests.

Like thunderbolt from clear
sky came the announcement, this
morning, that the Marion Water com.
pany, that tyrannical institution
which has been pictured so vividly as
holding Marion by the throat, had
been purchased outright by a COM
pany of Marion men, purely as a
speculation.
But the most important and start.
ling portion OF the transaction Is that
the new company is headed by none
other than Don T.. j. Brockett, mem
Der of the city council who has been
lighting the Marion Water company
with every means at his command
ever since the opera house fire.
There are so many surprising ele-
mcnts I'm the deal and II came about
with such paralyzing suddenness that
the public, and those who have learn
ed of the matter, are apparently un-
able to express a coherent opinion.
Beginning of Trouble.
In order to get at the details prop
erly 1t is necessary to go back to the
date of the fire which destroyed Ma
rions beautiful playhouse. 1mmedi-
ately thereafter Mr.. Brockett as a
member of council. started an agita-
tion for a municipal water plant. his
idea being for the city to make an out
right purchase of the Marion Water
company
Investigations were made and con
ferences held with the company which
placed price of s25O,OOO on It's plant
This was considered excessive by the
city. Then Mr.. Brockett made an eX-
haustive investigation OF the cost OF
building a new plant. complete in ey-
cry detail. He showed that the pres
ent company is hopelessly incapable
Of handling a fire of any size and that
the city of Marion Is at the mercy OF
flames II they get properly started
He submitted facts and figures witt
which Marionites are more or less
familiar and has been constant and
ardent supporter of the municipal
water plant Idea.
Brockctt's Last Stand.
Brockett's last stand was made IN
the city coupcil last Monday night
when an ordinance was killed provld.
Ing for a bond issue of $1,000 for the
purpose of sinking test wells In order
TO definitely fix the places where water
can be obtained in quantities sufficient
for fire purposes. AS stated above
the ordinance was killed and Mr.
Brockett became rather nettled.
He told council that the franchise
of the present company expires IN
two years; that unless council immedi-
ately took some action looking to the
building of water plant-which will
require two years-the Marion com
pany will be In a position to come in
at the end of that time and dictate it,
own terms for a new franchise and
Marion will be helpless-it will have
TO accede.
And today, in the face of all this
Mr. Brockett has apparently executed
a square about-face movement and I,
preparing to be In on the good thing
when It comes off. In other words
Mr. Brockett warned council against
the sin of vacillatiOn, and, believing
tina. no action would he taken, he i'm.
mediately got busy and organized a
