Richards and Aaron Finger appeared
for the plaintif and Daniel o. Hast
ings and Richard r. Rodney repre-
sented the defendant
This action is for the recovery Of
$500. being part of the face value Of
$1,000 given in 1903. Mrs. Schagrin
testified that her husband before his
death had received $500 on account

Charles W. Schagrin were brothers.
Their sister is in New York and they
loaned her $1,000. The first $4,000
was paid to the defendant and then
5000 TO the deceased. A note for ST.
Geo was then given and $500 had been
paid II was shown the note was not
delivered II was not intended at the
time to be binding and In fact there
was no consideration. Mrs. Harris

I the money on the note. Only a few
months ago the plaintiff asked her for
the $500 and Mrs. Harris said she
would pay the $500. The trial will

COMMISSIONERS
DISCUSS COUNTY
HIGHWAY WORK

Levy Court Commissioners smith,
Gooding. Scott and President Hol-
lingsworth and County Engineer
James Wilson yesterday afternoon
discussed the pieces of roads in the
county TO be built during the coming
year Under a 100000 bond issue
about three-fourths of the sum real
lied has been spent and only $4,000
remains to be expended. This money
cannot be spent for any other pur-
poses than the building Of road links
not completed in the good roads al
ready built
AS there are seven commissioners
in charge Of the county's affairs il
can be seen that there is not enough
money remaining to give each one a
share of the balance. The court has
advertised for bids for building the
piece OF road from Birds to Clarks
Corner in Red Lion hundred. There
is another piece Of road from Clinton
street. Delaware City. to connect
with the road leading to st. Georges
There is opposition to this piece OF
road being built out of the bond is
sue. n is claimed that the money
for this piece should come from the
maintenance fund Of Red Lion hun
dred There is possibility that 2
short stretch Of road south of State
Road will be improved
The decision of the court as IL
where the money will be spent will
be reached in the near future.
