Old Sol came out good and strong
Tuesday and carried of the last faint
remembrance Of balmy spring DAYS
with rush that left the city swelter-

the mercury climbed with meteor-H<e
rapidity until late in the afternoon il
registered at the % degree mark. the
hottest day Of the season.
No prostrations were reported in
were reported from other cities. In
Gary. Stanley Nercovicz, 50, was
stricken with the heat and died before
he could be taken to a hospital Mrs.
Nora watson, ~, died Of heat prOstra-
ton in Jeffersonville. Numbers were
compelled to seek shelter in the shS>SS
as a result of the pouring heat. The
ice man and the soda fountain keeper
were practically the only ones who did
not complain.
The farmer had little to say about
the weather as it is said the hot sun
is needed to dry up the land which was
hooded during the rains OF last week,
IN many instances making the soil un-
tillable. Many acres of corn in st.
Joseph county with the best stand in

PLANS FOR LEVY
Of SPECIAL TAX
To BE DISCUSSED
County Commissioners viii
Take Up Lincoln Highway
Assessment Matter at Meet
Ing Next Monday.

Plans for regulating the assessme tent
OF the special tax 20 be levied for the
construction OF the Lincoln Highway
through st. Joseph county will be
thrashed out by the county commits
sioners at their regular meeting next
Monday morning
Rumors that farmers are circulat-
ing a remonstrance in an effort to
protest the election held two weeks
ago brought considerable excitement
in the camps Of those favoring the
road as the farmers chiefly raised
their protest because Of the increased
taxes. A story had been circulated
that the taxes would be met by the
townships separately which would
necessitate an unusual heavy tax levy
on the smaller townships.
II is estimated that approximately
u miles OF road must be constructed
in the county, one-half mile Of which
Will be built in Portage township. as
the city streets will not require chang
ing. In Olive township five and one
half miles viii be built. This town
ship has taxable property assessed at
5000, $50. Three miles and a half
viii be built IN Warren township, the
assessment being $1.311,52O.
The other townships are as follows:
Portage. one-half mile with S30,778.-
$50 assessed property; German, with
three miles OF road. the taxable prop
erty being assessed at S5O2,35O, and
Penn, with four and two-thirds miles
the property being assessed at ST.
264,3
II is estimated that a mile of the
highway viii cost $4,000. making the
cost OF the road through the county
approximately S270,000. Should
plan be followed out as has been sug-
gested that each township pay for the
road through II the increased rate for
Portage township taxpayers will be
less than one percent while IL will be
considerable more for those i'm adj
joining counties.
