FILE EXCEPTIONS
TO ASSESSMENT
Darke County Land Owners Find
Fault With Opinion of
Disinterested Men
And Hire Lawyers to Eat Up Their
Substance Rather Than Pay
Share Just Burden.

Exceptions were filed in the Mercer
County Probate Court last Monday by
Attorneys Meeker and Gaskill. Of Green
Vile, on behalf of Darke County residents
to the decision of Probate Judge Dugan
and the committee Of free holders appoint
ed by the Probate Court of Mercer and
Darke Counties to assess the amount
Darke County should pay toward the i'm
provement Of the Wabash ditch and Bear
Greek branch in Granville township. They
ask that the proceedings be dismissed
taking the ground that the Mercer County
Probate Court has no Jurisdiction in the
matter. They also contend that the ST. 2O8
apportioned as parke County's assessment
is excessive and unjust; that the amount
was determined by taking an estimate OF
1921 acres at so cents; and that $4,000 acres
of this land lies so much higher than the
the Wabash ditch that 1t is not benefited
by the drainage.
The petition, while asking that the case
be dismissed, winds up principally with ex-
ceptions to the amount placed against
DarlIe County and seems to give the Pro-
bate Court Jurisdiction.
Their exceptions close with the fact that
the ditch benefits more land in Mercer
than in Darke County, and reclaims a large
amount of worthless land in Granville
township, which should be taken into con-
sideration. and the eapportionmento of Darke
County fixed according to the benefits de-
rived.
The Mercer County side of the case is rep
resented by Senator Johnson, John W.
Loree and Prosecutor Romer.

BIDS ON SEWERAGE
PLANS VARY WIDELY
In Amount, but Toledo Firms Is
Best Thought OF by the
City Fathers.
Plea Made by Attorney Taylor for
Opening Alley or Buckeye
Other Matters.

A lengthy and imp passioned plea in behalf
of his client, Mrs. Wickersham, for relief
from her present Isolated position east of
Buckeye street, and for opening up of an
alley to give her egress and ingress to her
property, and for fire protection, was made
by Attorney l.. L. Taylor TO council at the
regular meeting last Tuesday night. All
counctlmen were present, but no action
was taken. Mr.. Meyer, of the street com
mittee, said he had gone over the matter
and he believed that If the parties asking
for the alley, which would be at the rear
of the lots facing on Market street, east of
Buckeye, in what is known as Outlot lG,
wanted the same opened up, they should
buy the only contested ground, the proper
ty of John Nickel, and dedicate the alley
The question OF cleaning up the sidewalk
on Cherry street, on the east side of the
Western Ohio depot, was again discussed,
and it Is probable that If the company does
not put the walk in shape before the next
meeting council will take charge OF the
work and cut off their using the gutter and
sidewalk as driveway.
An ordinance fixing the license of hawk
eas, peddlers and travelling merchants was
passed, as was the semi-annual appropriat-
ing ordinance fixing the expenditures of
the village for the next six months.
Council then went into executive session,
accompanied by the Mayor, Solicitor and
Clerk, to take up the propositions of con-
sulttng engineers, who had furnished
prices for plans, specifications, &C., of the
contem plated sewerage improvements. Six
bids had been received by the clerk, and
there was a great variation in price for the
service, the lowest being $3.50 and the high
est Sl,5O0. The bid of the w. T. Sherman
90. of Toledo which has installed sewerage
plants at St. Marys, Wapakoneta, Port
land and many other neighboring towns,
was the most favorably considered, but no
action as to employment was taken, the
meeting after an hour and half's delibera-
tton on the subject, adtourning until next
Tues1ay night,

was the only one presented to the con-
vention for the nomination for President
besides President Taft. Sherman was
the only name presented for Vice. -Presi-
dent. The convention adjourned at
1880. Votes were cast for Roosevelt,
LoFollette, Cummins and Hughes al
though only the names of President Taft
and LaFollette were presented to the
convention.
Many of the Roosevelt men, following
the instructions of Roosevelt, sat silent
ly in their seats while the votes were be-
ing cast, taking no part at all in the pro-
ceedings.
The nominating of the candidates fol-
lowed the adoption of the platform re-
ferred to the convention by the platform
committee. 1t favors a protective tariff
and is i'll favor of some reductions, de-
clares that the recall of judges Is unnec-
essary.
A short time after the convention
closed third party was formed and
Theodore Roosevelt was made the nomi-
nee of the National Progressives.
Roosevelt accepted the nominotion and
asked those whom assisted in launching
the new movement to convene again in
August and radify their endorsement of
his candidacy.
