GOOD ROADS.

An Indiana Good Roads Associa-
ton has been formed In this state
and is doing some effective work for
the better roads in Indiana.
Their work is the organization of
all the advocates of good roads in
the state, the organization being
non-partisan, non-political and in
favor of no interests.
They are securing advice from
everybody who will give it as to the
best way to get better roads,. and as
to the best laws to be passed to get
better roads. Pledges are also be
ing taken that men will not support
any candidates for the state legis.
lature unless they promise to use
their vote and influence for better
roads.
This is indeed one of the big ques.
tons for Indiana, and there ought
to be a declaration in the party plat.
forms on the subject. 1t is not 6
partisan matter, but affects the vel
fare of us all. New laws are needed
and the longer the delay In gettins
them, the longer will the advance
ment of the state be handicapped.

PRESENT STATUS COURT
HOUSE CONTRACT CASE

Continued from Page y
The weekly Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1911-1922, 1912-04-18

the Surveyors room for which the
County Council had made no APP
preparation, was valid, and ordered
that the judgment except as to
the surveyors room, be affirmed.
Thus reversing bis previous opin-
ion
Seventeen days after this decision
was rendered, Judge Hadley and all
the members of the Appellate
court except two, were out of
Office, and the newly elected men,
bers took their positions, Judge
Larry being one of their number.
At the juncture Mr.. Ness filed
his application for a rehearing from
the decision as last given by Judge
Hadley. After due course Of
time the newly constituted Appel
late court granted the application
for this rehearing and gave the
third decision of the court, deciding
that the first item of the general
contract (that of the general
work., the floors, roof, changing of
windows, could be and was legally
let under the general contract;
also that the contract for the heat
ing was legally let. But holding
that the contracts for the interior
decoration of the court room, the
surveyors Office, the wiring and
plumbing contract, were illegally
let, and therefore void
From this decision Mr.. Ness
filed application for another re-
hearing by the Appellate court,
which in the course of time was
overruled without an opinion Of
the court. Mr.. Ness then fled an
application to the Supreme court
of the State of Indiana asking
that the case be transferred from
the Appellate court to the Supreme
court.
On April 9TH, 1912, the case was
transferred, and an opinion given
by the Supreme court setting aside
the opinion of the Appellate court
and reversing the opinion of Judge
Larry as rendered in the Marshall
Circuit court, and ordering new
trial in the Circuit court in ac-
cordance with the law as laid down
In their decision. The Supreme
court holds that the complaint Of
Mr.. Ness is abundantly good, and
that the entire contract is null and
void, for the reason that the
County Commissioners could not
let valid contract where part of
the items as advertised for were
not called for in an appropriation
of the County Council, and where
there were no specification for an
other part. This means that the
Supreme court holds that the con-
tract is not severable, and that
therefore the whole is void.
As it stands Mr.. O'Keefe still
has right to ask for rehearing
in the Supreme court, but as this
whole matter has been gone over by
the seven judges, it is not likely
that new evidence can be produced
to change their decision. The case
now comes back to Marshall county,
with Judge Larry as trial judge.
However, the instructions given bv
the decision of the Supreme court
are explicit, and unless there is
some turn that can be worked,
there seems but little can come of
a new trial but to render a de-
cision in accordance with what is
set forth by the Supreme court,
and give a decision in favor of
! Ness

Architecture Brought to This
Country Interests Gov
ernment Architects.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 26-
Government architects have been
taking great deal Of interest in the
development Of the style of architec-
ture brought from Spain by the
Padres and conqulstadons, and
adapted to the need Of the new
world. Throughout the West In
dies, Mexico, Peru and in fact all OF
New Spain, including California, are
to be found magnificent specimens
of the so-called Mission type OF
architecture.
The government, following some.
what tardily in the footsteps of pri.
vate and public enterprises in tho
Southwest, adopted the Mission
Renaissance" as one Of the styles in
which public buildings should be de.
signed. The buildings planned for
Santa Barbara, Riverside and San
Diego are good examples Of this
commercialized form of Mission
type.
livery much has been done with
this attractive style of architecture
in this country, but it is believed by
artists and architects who have seen
the plans for the San Diego group Of
exposition buildings. that in them
the Mission type will find its high.

has studied the best types Of the

mashed or cut up. and friends Of the
deceased man fear that he met with
foul play and that the body was
placed alongside the railroad tracks
to keep down suspicion. r4l
The only injuries on the body
were a small cut on the left side OF
the head, a black eye and a slight
brpise on the left hip. II the ,un-
fortuna man had been hit by an
engine in all probability his body
would have been cut up more than

SUIT :.
Brought by Blue Will Affect
All the Sheriffs Of the
State.

A suit that will affect the sheritfs
in West virginia was nled in the
circuit court at Martinsburg, when
State Tax Commissioner Fred o.
'Blne Instituted proceedings to set
aside the recent settlements of for
mer sheriff Gardner and Sheriff Kit
tering, OF Berkeley county, with the
county court. when both officials
were relieved from the payment of
certain interest charges. 1t is al
legged that Gardner still owes $1,000
aud Kittering st,7OO, interest and
discrepancies in tax commissions.
Gardner and Rittering contend that
these sums represent interest on
money borrowed by them to meet
the current expenses OF the county
when the county was bankrupt and
the sheriffs kept its credit good by
borrowing money upon their own re-
sponsibilfty. This view of the mat
ter was held by the county court. a
majority of whose members are OF
opposite political faith to both Card
uer and Kittering.
1t is declared by the defendants
that many counties would become
bankrupt because their executives
would not dare use personal credit
to borrow money for current ex-
penses before taxes are collected.
The suit against the Berkeley
county officials will be heard Deem
