pleted by Bridge Engineer Mueller,
New Castle, have been checked by
John L. Harrigton, Kansas City, Mo-.
the engineer who was here this sum-
mer to determine the best type OF
bridge for Main street and by St
Louis firm, it was learned today.
About $1,000 was spent by Mueller
out of the money he received for max
ing the plans in conducting tests OF
ground on which the bridge will be
built" said President Cheesman of the
board of commissioners, today.
Eve know that the plans as made
by Mueller are reliable and We expect

BECK ENDORSES
POSTAL CHANGE

Postmaster Beck is pleased with
placing postmasters under civil serv-
ice.
The order will not disturb him until
the expiration of his present four year
term. Then he will be forced to under
60 competitive examination and take
the risk of being outpointed if he de-
sires to hold office.
II believe 1t will increase efficiency
and enable a postmaster to retain the
office long enough so he can become
thoroughly familiar with the depart
ment," he said.
Another reason for Beck's approval
is that the order affords chance for
promotion to employees Of the depart
ment which they do not have now.

MARl0H AUTO OWNERS
HOT OVER EXTRA TAX

Jasper, Dec. TO- Marion auto
owners are hot over the extra tax
put on automobiles in this county
by the last legislature of $40. To
keep a little old Ford" now will
mean an expense as follows:
State license, SIS; county license,
$40; ad valorem tax. SIS; a total
of $40. and if you want to use it
as a service car it takes $25 more
to get that right. The extra tax
is the result of a special bill intro
duced by Representative Cameron
in the last legislature and the
money is to be used on the roads
of the county. Auto owners think
that four whacks at one piece of
property to raise revenue is more
than the camel can stand and it is
very probable that the matter
will go to the courts for a test as
to its constitutionality. On high
er priced cars than the Ford of
which there are a great many in
Marion the taxes and privileges
of course will be proportionately
much higher.
