STILL In THE AIR

Building Of the inter-market road
from the Cuyahoga county line south
through Brunswick, distance Of A
65-100 miles, still remains only mat
ter for discussion.
The approximate cost will be about
S125,0OO. The state has agreed to
give $4,000 Of this amount and Bruins
wick township will give $250O0. The
county commissioners are disinclined
to accept any proposition other than q
straight "fifty-ffty" one on the total
cost. .aa
The question was taken up again on
Monday at the regular meeting of the
commissioners, participated in by
County Engineer Bibbins and members
Of the Medina County Automobile as
sociation, but the only action taken by
tho commissioners was a reassertion
Of its position to accept nothing but a
straight 5000" proposition.
Thus, unless the state highway de-
partment can be prevailed upon to
come across with an extra $12,500, the
building Of the proposed needed inn
provement must be held up indefinite
".
The prevailing sentiment, SO far as
we can CLEAN, is IN favor Of building
the road, even tho the county must
bear more than half. and all are
agreed as to the desirability and
need OF the new road. :,

LOCAL MERCHANT
LOSES BY FIRE

Incessant ringing of the fire bell
simultaneously with the sight OF
flames in the western part Of the vii
lage last Saturday night about eight
o'clock, brought business to an abrupt
standstill, speedily emptying the
stores Of their patrons, who hurried
to the scene Of the fire, which was a
warehouse of the Warner -Hemmeter
Co., located at the rear of the home
of Mrs. Daniel Hemmeter, at 215 West
Washington street. K
In the warehouse was stored approx
imately 81 1000 worth of linoleum, ten
mis- flannel and quilts, all of which was
more or less damaged by fire or water,
or both. The fire department was able
to extinguish the fire, but not until the
building had all but fallen in.
The building was one of number
of similar small buildings as well as
dwellings, within small radius, which
doubtless would have burned had there
been wind blowing at the time. AS
it was the fire was confined to the
one building.
About II o'clock the fire broke out
again, but was quickly put out by the
chemical engine.
The origin of the fire is mystery.
Mr.. W. E. Hemmeter says the build
ing was locked and had not been en-
tered by any one on business for more
than week. Firemen, however, dis
covered that a window had been re-
moved and carried several feet from
the building. Thus it has been sug-
gested that some one entered the
building through the window for the
purpose Of theft, and thoughtlessly
dropped lighted match or cigar.
There was 5000 insurance on barn.

OBJECT TO IMPROVEMENT

Eighteen Spencer men appeared be
fore the County Commissioners Mon
day morning to interpose objections
to being taxed for certain street i'm
provement in their township. The
street lin question is the main street
running north and south through the
business section of Spencer, and the
proposed Improvement consists Of i'm
proving the sides Of the street to the
Igutters 70 conform to the already i'm
s'9yEsI xiea r6a sso tlSat people
may drive up to the sides and hitch,
in the rainy seasons, without sinking
to their middles in mud.
The estimated cost of the improve
ment is $1,000. One-third Of this
amount, or $400, must be paid by the
abutting property owners, all of whom
favor the Improvement. The remain
ing amount, $500, must be raised by
tax levy on all the property owners
in the township, including, Of course,
the abutting property owners. 1t is
estimated that the individual expense
to each tax payer not directly bene-
fitted by the improvement, will not
exceed SO cents, and probably less.
Meanwhile the work, which was start
ed last week, is progressing.
