Editor News-Times:
The Portage township trustees

in the county. TO the tax payers, as
well as TO the INDECENT families, in
the city and township, and is mat
ter that should have the attention
of voters i'm making nominations at
the coming primaries.
The law defines his duties and
gives him the power, with his adj

the trustee has full control of the
business of the township, and may
spend the peoples money, prudent
ly, economically, or otherwise
When John Is. Witwer became
trustee by appointment June LIST,
1915, the tax levy in the township
in total, was IS cents on the 500
valuation. Each year the levy has
been reduced, until 1918 Portage
township has the lowest levy i'm st.
Joseph county, OF 81 cents on the
500 valuation.
The things enabling the trustee to
do this are. first the roads leading
into the city cost a great deal of
money to build and maintain, how
ever, the trustee had sufficient gravel
and work on the Prairie av. road,
the Division St, the Crumstown, and
the Chain lakes roads 10 comply
with the requirements for county
roads. which were accepted by the
county commissioners, and now the
county is reimbursed by receiving
the automobile license, which for
merly was paid to the state and dis
tributed TO other counties that had
county roads. hence the trustee re-
duced the township road levy.
Second. by good financing the
trustee is getting better rate of in
terest from the repositories and all
interest goes into the tuition fund
enabling a reduction i'm the tuition
levy.
