Township trustees Of Wayne county
are wondering. and for some time
have been wondering. just how soon
the townships of the county are going
into bankruptcy. And all their won
dering is because of a little act pass

1917, the first section of which is as
follows:
BE it enacted by the general
assembly of the State OF Indiana, that
township trustees shall provide and
maintain means of transportation for
ALL PUPILS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
that live a greater distance than two
miles and for all pupils between the
ages of six and twelve years that
live at greater distance than one
mile from the school to which they
are assigned"

That law" said Will Curtis, OF
Franklin township, is one of the
most internal acts ever put together

be borne by the township. Last year,

BULK OF ESTATE

LIBERTY, Ind, Aug. 3.-Miss Pearl
Brandenburg, for sixteen years the
housekeeper of Robert Scarlet, wealthy
citizen who died last week, was given
the bulk Of his estate by the terms OF
Scarlet's will made public today.

his wife, and she had many relatives
near Liberty.
A farm Of 160 acres located east OF
Liberty, and the property in the town,
on which Scarlet lived for many years,
make the bulk of the bequest to Miss
Brandenburg. Sums varying from $50
to $500 are left to relatives.
The executors are directedeto sell
property sufficient to pay these cash
bequests, funeral expenses, and debts,
and the rest of the property goes to
