LAST Of HIGHWAY
TO BE IMP PROVED
Commissions Award Contract
for Five Miles of Concrete
Roadway.

Taber, Hullihan q Lynn Bros re-
ceived the contract for the construc-
tion of the concrete highway to the
easttrn limits of MishaWaka to the
St Joseph county line at a meeting
of the county commissioners Monday
morning. The contract price was
$53. 1886.
The road, which is nearly five miles
long, calls for sand and gravel, the
sand To be washed and screened, in
preparation of the rOadOed. This five
mile strip marks the last step in the
plans for the construction of an i'm
proved Lincoln highway through this
country.
Twelve other bids were received.
They were Terrence x Janney,
S63,927; Tripper * Son, Peru, SCI,
342: Gross Bros. Laporte, $5S,6S5;
Northern Construction company, Elk
hart, $500; Tolleston Construction
company, 62,562; The National com
pany S62,1 ,199; Reed x Reed, Michi-
gan City, $1,000; Sela A. smith,
Gary, SCI, 400; Gary Construction COM
pany, S62.637; Jake Ackerman COM
pany, Laporte, S63, 175i W. NJ Hatch,
Goshen, S63,653.
The bid of the Wabash firm was the
lowest Of any of the 3 bids received.
The company put up bond Monday
morning and made preparations TO
start the work as soon as possible.
The section through which the road
Will be constructed is now we'll nigh
impossible because of the great chuck
holes and deep ruts. Much complaint
by motorists and other drivers who
make the trip between South Bend
and Elkhart over the Lincoln high
way route east has been mads. 1t is
expected that motorists will either
have TO detour after the work of road
building begins, or take the road on
the north side of the river, which at
the present time is in much better
condition

the third to become involved in the
complicated detail surrounding the
murder of Hazel Macklin. and was it
the work of someone who wished to

know something of the foul murder of
the 15-year- school girl?
This is the question that Deputy
Pros Samuel Schwartz will endeavor
to solve Monday evening in an inves-
tigatiOn promoted by him which Will
extend for several days.
Cora Logan was found with her
throat and abdomen cut, lying in a de-
composed condition in her bedroom.
The knife with which the murder
was committed was found on a kitchen
table still stained and rusted with
the wOman's blood.
Her supposed murder has been a
mystery since the finding of her body

Suspicious UNWARRANTED

w. A. King Of this city. who
is on the force of the executive
accountant, is now checking lup
the books Of Haakon county.
We suppose there is reason for
this but it would seem peculiar
that 1t was necessary to send
a public examiner to county
that has not been organized but
six months.-Pierre Capital-Jour-
nal.
just why Editor Nipple should
get vicious in this connection is
beyond our ken. Perhaps he
deems it good policy to play
up to the sore crowd across
the creek from him, with whom
he has fellow feeling in re
the division Of Stanley county.
He is doing a great injustice
to the Haakon county officers in
the intimation contained in the
paragraph quoted, that some
thing must be wrong in their
handling of the affairs of the
county, or it would not have
been necessary to send public
examiner here. Since he dis
plays such woeful lack of
knowledge concerning the
duties of the examiner. and for
the benefit Of those who may
be inclined to accept his view
of the incident, we call atten-
tion to chapter 2O6, session laws
Of 1913, which created the Of
flee of public accountant. 1t
provides that it is the duty of
the accountant, or his assistants,
Philip weekly review and Bad River news. [volume] (Philip, Stanley County, S.D.) 1912-1918, 1915-07-01

to examine and audit the books
Of the officers of each of the
counties at least once in two
wears. 1t also provides that
the accountant shall install a
uniform system of accounting
in the offices of all the counties.
The visit of Mr.. King to this
county was timely. The various
Officers had become sufficiently
acquainted with the work of
their offices, SO that his sllg-
gcstiOns could meet with favor
able consideration. Our local
officials are glad that he came
out and went over their work
with them. Some day he will
drop in on the officers of Hughes
county, and we hope that his
presence there will not give rise
to suspicious OH the part of the
