1t is being demonstrated that a
newspaper man can defy blind

Office and still receive his just
dues at the hands of the county.
The case in point: The writer's
newspapers at Linton and at
Braddock were designated as Of
fetal county papers for the ens.,-
ing year. These results will be
the means of fostering indepen-
dence of action among many
when they find that the blind.
pigeers and their political as
sistants cannot control the affairs
of the county. And, incidentally,
blind-piggers are not the only
bad eggs" that need attention.
The office-holders that barely
make bluff at holding down

ested in getting their fingers into
bridge-contracts and the likes
will be given attention in due

The county commissioners adj
journed Tuesday noon of last
week until February I'd when
bids will be received for funds.
There was an attempt made to
take care of this matter at the
regular meeting, but the auditors
notice did not conform to the
law in the matter and it was de-
cided to re-advertise.
The January meeting of the
board proved more or less
stormy although it was not an
unusually long session.
AS was stated last week, the
Herman Co. was turned down on
the payment for their bridge be-
cause the board felt that the con-
tract had not been fulfilled.
Other routine work was taken
care Of. DR.. Baer, of Braddock,
was reappointed as county
physician.
Another matter which caused
considerable fireworks was the
matter of a bridge built by the
Linton Construction Company a
short distance northeast of town.
The bill for this work was up at
the October meeting and was
laid over for investigation. The
work was done without advertis-
ing for bids as required by law,
on the theory that it was an
emergency proposition. How
ever. as there had been no orig
inal bridge there which was in a
serious condition and even the
road had not been laid out, the
commissioners felt that they
would be unable to allow the
claim. They therefore again left
the matter over until the April
meeting. That they were right
in not laying themselves liable
by allowing the claim can be
readily seen by perusing the law
which covers the building Of
bridges. 1t is as follows:
Section l. Amendment Sec.
tons 1878 and 1880 of the re.
vised codes of 1905 are amended
to read as follows:
Section 1878. Petition Bids
Whenever a majority of the free.
holders of a civil township or a
majority of freeholders living
within radius of three miles OF
the proposed location, shall peti.
ton the board of county commits.
sioners for bridge at a specified
location within such township, or
within any Incorporated city or
village, when the cost of such
bridge shall exceed the sum of
one hundred dollars, it shall be
the duty of the board of county
commissioners to view and inves-
tigate the necessity of such pro.
posed bridge; and if such county
board approves its location and
building, it shall proceed to ad,
vertise in the official paper in the
county, for a period of thirty
days, the plans and specifications
of the proposed bridge, asking
for sealed bids for the building
of such bridge, to be submitted
to them at their next regular or
special meeting, at which meet
ing of the board it shall proceed
to examine all proposals or bids
for the building of such bridge
and shall reward the contract tic

tits only right that the Record
publisher express publicly his ap-
probation of the action of the
board of commissioners in desie-
mating the legal newspapers of
the county at their recent meet
ing. True, the law requires such
action. But there are members
on the board who are deferred
but little on that score in their
actions. Incidentally, thus end
eth the little drama that had its
inception some twelve months
ago when some of the powers-that-
be conceived the idea that they
could import a newspaper here
and give it the county printing
right from the jump" Instead,
it will require something like
two years to make the PROPOSE
ton stick.

curing such bidder to give a
bond in a sum not less than the
amount stipulated in the bid or
contract, conditioned for the
faithful compliance with the
terms of such bid or contract,
which bond shall be approved by
the board of county commission
ers and filed in the office of the
county auditor.

of trustees of any incorporated

ceedine fifty dollars shall be
borne by the township, or by the
Incorporated city or village,
where such bridge is located, and
in excess of that sum, by the
county; provided, that when the
cost of repairing such bridge ex-
ceeds fifty dollars, it shall be un.
der the supervision of the county
commissioners, and that the cost
of all such repairs shall be est.

should an emergency arise, re.

or repairing of any bridges, the
board of county commissioners

The last matter to be taken up
was the designation of the three
official county papers for the en-.
suing year. The Emmons Coun.

Tommy Connolly Nips
Scheme to Ruin Game

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-What might
have developed into a far-reachinE
scandal was nipped by Connolly. the
umpire. in right field in the worlds
series game at Ebbets Field yesterday
Connolly discovered a man on the roof
OF the grand stand with what appeared
to be large sized shaving mirror and
he rushed to the plate and stopped the
game for a moment.
When the bold intruder saw that he
was discovered he beat hasty retreat
and so far az could be learned no ef-
fort was made to bring him to Justice.
1t was presumed that he had sought
the roof with a looking glass to flash
the sun into the eyes OF some PLAYER
at some citical point OF the game. II
will never be known whether he was A

ter OF fact his nefarious scheme did not
work out.
