NOTHING DOINC''
DECLARES BECK

Patrons of the twelve rural routes
in Wayne county at the end of the
first week of service under the re-
districted routes say the mail deliy-
cries are almost as irregular as un'
der the service installed the first of
this month.
Two postal inspectors rushed to
Richmond to re-arrange the twelve
motor served routes following the roar
of protest which went up shortly after
January because of the complete col
lapse of the new system.
Under the system installed by these
two inspectors last Monday some OF
the routes were shortened little. the
mileage OF few increased and short
wagon route out of Boston provided
but at the close of the week the Rich
mond post office was still being bonn
barded with complaints by dissatisfied
farmers.
1t is understood that the postal au
thorities now realize that the present
number of rural routes, even with mo
tor service is entirely inadequate to
serve such a large territory.
Postmaster Beck worked today in
his shirtsleeves in his office. behind
locked doors, denying himself to re
porters. Nothing doing, not thing,
he called out after unlocking his Of
flee door in answer to the thumpings

COUNTY DELAYS
FILLING PLACES
BY APPOINTMENT

County appointments were delayed
again today by the county commits
sioners although all the members OF
the board were present and gave no
reason for not making the appoint
ments.
The appointments should have been
made at the first meeting Of the new
year as the terms of office of eleven
county employees expired at the close
of last year. These employees have
been holding over until their success
sors are appointed and all OF them are
candidates for re-appointment.
The meaning Of the delay Is not
known although it is generally pre-
sumed that the members of the board
are having trouble in reaching de-
cision regarding some of the more I'm
portant appointments because OF the
relation it might have on politics. Gus
tave Hoelscher. county attorney. Is a
candidate for re-appointment and 1t Is
generally believed by the other county
officials that he will receive the posi-
ton. There is no question about the
appointment of w. o. Jones, as coun,
ty road superintendent. Although
charges had been made by the Oc-
tober term of grand jury against Mrs.
Aurelia Thomas, matron of the Home
for the Friendless, it is generally be-
lieved that she will be reappointed.

LINDSAY FR0zE
At PENAL farm

On a charge of public intoxication
and previous convictions, Ed Lindsay
was today fined $50 and costs and SEN
fenced to thirty days in county Jail.
He was only released from the state
penal farm in Putnam county last
Wednesday. Lindsay was tickled to
death because he was not returned to
that institution. He made his usual
perfunctory plea to leave the city for
ever if given lone more chance
Lindsay said he almost froze to
death at the penal farm. Just one
stove in each sleeping shed and the
sheds are each 400 feet long he said.
"The floors of these sheds are also
raised above the ground a couple of
feet and the way the wind howls un-
der the flooring is fierce. 1 slept ev-
cry night with my shoes on The farm
is also sea of mud but the food is
plentiful and wholesome. l am mighty
glad l don't have to go back there"

COUNTY TO DEMAND
FULL POOR REPORTS

Alleged loose methods of many of
the township trustees in handling poor
accounts were severely criticised by
the county commissioners this morn
ing and ruling made that hereafte.
every township trustee must comply
strictly with the law in making their
reports
A resolution was adopted by the
commissioners which will be sent to
every township trustee demanding
that poor reports be submitted to the
board at least five days before the
time for the board to consider them.
This gives a chance, the commission
ers explained, for the taxpayers to
know exactly what is being spent in
every township as well as affording
the commissioners an opportunity of
making an examination.

PROPOSE TWO PLANS
FOR BUILDING SPAN

Two proposed bridge plans were
considered by 20 committee officers of
the Citizens committee at a luncheon
In the Y. NJ. C.. A. at noon today.
The first of these was q level bridge
extending from West Third street to
point on Main street opposite the
north door of the court house. The
second was a bridge beginning at
Third street and with a slight eleva-
ton and slight decline to the same
level at the west end of the bridge.
Either one meant the lowering Of
the c. & o. railroad bridge, eleven
feet.
1t was suggested that all committee
men visit the site of the bridge in
automobiles to obtain a mental picture
of the place. The heads of the various
committees and the executive commit
tee will meet at the Commercial club
rooms at Z o'clock Thursday night.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1916-01-22
ADD ANOTHER BRIDGE

Another bridge may have to be add
ed to the list for which appropriations
will be made by the county commits.
sioners within the next few weeks. At
Locust Grove, on the line between
Henry and Wayne counties, the COM
missioners of Wayne county have
been asked by the commissioners Of
Henry county to build the bridge. Half
of the expense of the bridge will be
met by Henry county but it is prob
able that all negotiations will be made
through the Wayne county officials
and the contract will be let here. The
bridge will cost approximately $500.
