GEM MAKES USUAL
COMPLAINT TODAY
Says People Refuse to Com
ply with the Garbage
Ordinance.

Street Commissioner Gem appeared
before the board of works this morn
ing with his usual cry of help. He re-
ferred to the garbage question again
saying that the people have refused
to comply with the provisions of the
city ordinance on removing garbage
and rubbish. Gem had copies of the
ordinance printed and distributed.
The people still refuse to under
stand that wet and dry garbage must
not be mixed, so legal steps will be
taken against the most persistent Of
fenders," declared Gem.
Gem reports that rather than have
trouble with the people, his men have
removed the garbage. but that this
method of getting about the trouble
will be stopped and prosecutions will
be started
City Attorney Gardner reported that
he would have two ordinances ready
for council next Monday night dealing
with questions recently before the
board of works. One, If passed by
council, will make it violation of the
law to place any kind Of stands or OBJ.

other will force all merchants having
signs on Main street, to place the

TOOK NO ACTION ON
DEPUTY COLLECTORS
Council Hears Petition for
Tax Collectors in Small
Towns.

The county council took no definite
action on the law providing for dep
uty tax collectors in Wayne county at
the special meeting held Saturday af-
ternoon. During the past several
weeks there has been considerable
agitation towards applying the law
recently enacted by the legislature for
installing deputy treasurers in all
towns over 900 population to collect
taxes.
Recently petitions were presented
to the commissioners asking to have
County Treasurer Albertson oppoint
deputy treasurers at Hagerstown.
Cambridge City and Centerville. The
commissioners did not take any ac-
ton on the matter. The treasurer Is
opposed to inaugurating the system
this year. 1t will not only increase
his work but will necessitate the max
ing of a complete set of duplicate
books and tax receipts. The law pro-
vided that a salary of $500 shall be
paid the deputy.
At the present time the public do
pository banks in Cambridge City
and HagerstoWn act as the tax collect
ors. At Centerville there is no de-
pository and hence the tax peyers are
forced to come to Richmond. 1t is be
lieved that action will be taken soon
which will provide for the appointing
of the deputy treasurers which will
go into effect next year.
The following appropriations were
made by the council and commission
ers: Office expense of board of health,
$50; for prevention of contagious dis.
ease, $50; epileptic inquests. 5000;
expenses for special employees under
contract with the commissioners. $50:
Retz bridge, $3.50: McDonald-Ford
bridge, $3.50: Chamness fill. 500:
floor for Milton bridge, $500; floor for
Beeson bridge, $500: floor for bridge
near East Germantown, $3.50.

feudality into the foremost ranks of
the worlds powers. His son, Crown

NEWCASTLE, Ind, July 29-With
an attendance which included some Of
the old-time Republicans Of Henry
county, the Progressives held their
mass convention at the court house
here Saturday and showed a possible
voting strength OF 1900 to 1000. When
County Chairman Wilson called the
convention to order Republican lead
ers or workers were conspicuous by
their absence even as spectators.
After a short speech by Chairman
Wilson, the organization committees s
report was accepted, making Joseph
A. Greenstreet permanent chairman;
F. L. Thornburgh, secretary, and
James L. Watkins and Fred White, as
sistant secretaries. The resolutions
scored the old parties and instructed
delegates to the state convention for
Albert J. Beveridge for Governor. 1t
was the sentiment of the county COM
mittee not to nominate a county ticket
and the matter was not brought before
the convention. W. D. Headrick of In.
dianapolis gave an address of an
hours length after which the conven-
ton adjourned.
Chairman Wilson states that through
out the entire county the Progressives
will be active from now until the re-
turns are received on election night
The strength shown by the new party
was surprise to both Democrats and
Republicans, especially as there were
