GOSHEN, Ind. April 1. - The
probabilities are that the postOffipe at
Benton Will shortly be discontinued
and the patrons Of that office viii be
served by rural carriers out OF Co
shen. For more than a year, Frank
Jackson. the present postmaster at
Benton, has tried 10 retire. but 30 far
TO successor has been named for him
and he is forced TO continue in the
position. Sometime ago civil service
examination was held but no apph-
cant succeeded in getting the eligible
list and another examination has been
ordered 10 be held in the near future.
There are only about 80 patrons al
the office and many Of them expressed
a desire for rural service from the
Goshen office and il is quite likely
their wishes Will be respected. The
Benton office is one OF the Oldest IN
the county. and IS years ago was by
all odds the largest.

CIVIL SERVICE
COMMISSION IS
Thing OF PAST
Members Decide That No Fur
ther Business win Be Trans
acted on Account of Mayors
Attitude

The civil service commission Is done.
1t is done for the time being at least,
and no real encouragement is given
that it will be resuscitated soon. The
former commissioners, who went out
of office the first of January, accord
ing to the opinion of P. l.. Weaver,
first deputy city and county attorney,
will hold no further meetings. The
only thing remaining that they plan
to do is to approve the minutes of the
last meeting. Mayor Fern is not say
ing much on the subject.
Last night at the meeting of the
board of supervisors, Supervisor VOL
ter attempted to draw His Honor out.
He said:
"Mr. Mayor, we would like to know
what you are going to do about the
civil service commission appointments.
We are being constantly asked what
you are going to do; so we would like
to know" !
His Honor cooked his head wisely,
and throwing a sagacious glance at
the supervisor who had raised the
question, he said with a shrewd smile:
''Mr. Wolter, am still thhkin' OF
names"
At which the board laughed.
Chairman Wirtz of the commission
said this morning that the commits.
sioners felt,, in view of Mr.. Weaver's
opinlon, that it no longer was called
upon to hold regular meetings, and
that therefore it would meet only once
more which would be for the purpose
of approving the minutes Of the last
meeting.
Mr. Weaver, in contending that the
commissioners term of office expired
the first of the year, also held that
on and after that time if the commits
sion acted, at all it would be as a de
facto body. And the acts, as de facto
body, which would not be subject to
collateral attack. could be questioned
in direct proceedings undertaken for
that purpose.
