MANCHESTER IS
IN SQUABBLE ON
Big BOND ISSUE
Action Of Manchester Council to Issue
Bond For Light Plant Gets
Into the Courts.

The citizens of our neighbor town
of Manchester, Ohio, for several weeks
have been agitated over the PROPOSE
ton of Issuing bonds to repair and
enlarge the municipal electric light
plant.
On Monday the matter was taken in
to the common pleas court when j. A.
Shriver, prominent citizen and taxpay-
er of that village, through his attor-
neys, w. R. Mahaffey and F. A. Shiv-
eley, filed an injunction suit against
the sale of bonds authorized by the
village council, and which had been
advertised for sale on October 1.
A temporary restraining order was
granted Monday by Judge VIII P.
Stephenson against the sale of the
bonds. Mr.. Shriver's injunction suit
was against The Incorporated Village
Of Manchester and E. B. Suffer, John
Bell j, E. Mcneil, Robert Poole, Dan
lei Grimsley and Samuel Bartholomew,
councilmen; G. f. Neal, Mayor and 8,
N. Greenlee, clerk.
The Village council had, on Septem-
Der l, passed an ordinance to issue
$4,000 in bonds for the purpose of re-
pairing and improving the light plant
setting out in the ordinance that an
emergency condition existed and that
there were no funds In the village
treasury to meet the expense of the
contemplated improvement.
In his Injunction suit field Monday,
Mr.. Shriver claims that no emergency
exists and that the light plant is in
good repair and sufficient for all the
needs Of the village and It's citizens.
A referendum petition calling for a
vote on the bond proposition, and
which was filed with the county board
of elections, was laid aside by the
| board because of legal defect in the
form of the petition. The petition con-
tanned a sufficient number of names
1t is understood that a new referen-
dunn petition in correct form is being
circulated and signed for filing with
the election board.
Reports from Manchester are to the
effect that considerable feeling is he
ing aroused between the respective
citizens for and against the PROPOSE
ton.

INCREASE IN 1878 DEATH +
RATE DUE To INFLUENZA
tuberculosis and typhoid on Decline
In Kentucky, Says Health Officers.

The death rate in Kentucky during
1918 was 1914 per 1000, an increase OF
2.6 per 1000 over any previous year,
according to figures given in bulle-
tin from the office Of the State Board
Of Health which was received by the
County Health Department this week.
This increase was due, according to
data contained in the bulletin, to the
influenza epidemic which appeared in
the latter part of September.
Deaths due to influenza numbered
$3.50 and from pneumonia 1887, to-
tai Of 1857 deaths from the two dis
eases. The combined death rate per
1000 for the two diseases was SO.
The number of deaths resulting
from violence during 1918 showed a
marked decrease compared to deaths
resulting from this source In 1917.
The number of deaths due to tuber-
culosis In 1918 was 1885. In 1911, the
first year Of which a register was kept
deaths due to this disease numbered
225.6. This decrease is regarded as
being of major Importance in that it
proves what can be accomplished in
the fight against this disease by con-
certed and concentrated action on the
part of all health agencies.
The typhoid death rate Is registering
a decline.
The estimated population for the
state for the year 1918 is placed at g.
40S,547 by the United States Census
Bureau. The total number Of deaths
reported in the state during the year
was 39,499.
