Debts LESS
Than LIMIT
IN COUNTY
Indebtedness of $4,000 is
Small Compared With That
of Other Counties and With
Maximum Amount Allowed.
RETIRING BRIDGE BONDS

The bonded Indebtedness of Wayne
county proper is only $4,000, county
officials said Saturday This sum rep
resents the balance to be paid on the
Main street bridge.
Wayne county's indebtedness is
small compared with that of other
counties, and as compared with the
maximum Indebtedness limit of two
percent of the assessed valuation. The
assessed valuatio is $S9,000,000. and
the bonded Indebtedness limit is ST.
100000.
In addition to the county indebted
ness of $4,000, townships have issued
gravel road bonds totaling $491,174.50
TO date. This includes 100000 sold
by Wayne township during the year
past for the Foreman and Sell roads.
Could Issue More Bonds.
The amount of bonds issued by
townships is not included in the bond
ed indebtedness limit of the county.
Consequently, should Wayne county
wish to issue more bonds, it could
of 81 ,6S2 900. In other words, Wayne
county's credit is good for this
amount.
OF the bonded Indebtedness of the
townships for gravel road issues, fig
ures of Jan. l show that Wayne had
s13S,400; Center. s75360; Franklin,
$1,276; Greene. $13,397, Jackson, $685.
$50; Perry, $1,7S4
Since that time, Wayne township
has issued 100000, and some bond
issues have been taken up.
However, the total of $491,17
covers the outstanding township road
bonds to date.
Are Retiring Bonds.
An analysis of the bridge bonds
shows that $155 900, in two issues, was
floated OF the first, a 100000 issue,
S65,000 remains to be paid. and of the
second, s55,000 issue, $4,000 is still
outstanding. leaving an unpaid bal
ance of s9S.000
The first issue is being retired at
the rate of $4,000 every six months
and of the second. $1,000 is being re-
tired annually These bonds, however,
do not cover the entire cost of the
bridge as $4,000 was transferred from
the south side bridge fund and must
be returned.

PRODUCED SALT
IN ILLINOIS IN
FORMER PERIOD

CUEluhuCAus Alls AOooAA ess~ ..
not produced in Illinois today, old
documents published by the Geo
logical Survey of Illinois establish
the fact that the production Of salt
early in the nineteenth century was
one Of the leading industries OF
Gallatin county, and survived I'M
til after the Civil war.
at is true that salt was evap-
GRATED from brine coming from
springs and wells along the Saline
river in Gallatin county and from
deep, well in Perry county many
years ago." said F. w. DeWolf.
chief of the State Geological Sur
vey Division. 1.-THE industry. how
! ever. has been dead at both loca-
tons for many years now"
Because of its mineral import
ance, Gallatin county in the south
ern end of the state was establish
ed by proclamation of President
James Madison in 1872 and the
brine springs were worked under
the management OF army oficers.
The government then reserved
from sale all lands containing salt
springs. The small government re-
servation constituted an area
slightly more than twelve square
miles. An almost inexhaustible re-
servoir Of brine was Sol to un-
derlie its surface, as We. as valu-
able beds of mineral fuel.
Profitable brine was found in the
county only on the north side Of the
Saline river about a mile south Of
the small town OF Equality. This
was near what was known as the
Half Moon" a semi-circular ex'
cavation 100 yards in diameter and
from six to eight feet, made by
buffalo and other wild animals tina,
congregated in herds to'lick the
salty earth. The bones Of many ex
tinct animals, but mammoth ant
mastodons, have since been found
buried in the soil in and around
Half Moon"
The old salt works supplied thu
needs Of the country for 100 miieI
around. 1t had standing orders from
points in Tennessee, Kentucky AMI
Indiana.
1t took from 125 to $50 gallons o
brine to produce one bushel Of salt
The works employed between 90.
and 1000 hands and had a dali!
production OF from so to 100 bush
els.
A large amount Of fuel was need
ed for evaporation purposes AM
. the brine works soon stripped tn
surrounding country of its timber
Although many of the wells SUM
penetrated a five-foot vein Of Goa
about 100 feet below the surfacs
the records show this was neye
utilized.
Competition sprang up and ruin
ed the government controlled in
dustry. When salt works were es
tablished in Virginia and in pome
roy, Ohio. the government allowe'
the Illinois works to lapse int
idleness.
Finally, IN 1850. the Saline prop
erty was purchased by firm
known as Temple Z Castles. Thi
company sank new wells and struel
stronger brine. By improved pro
cesses Of evaporation It was abl
to produce a bushel OF salt fron
, rs gallons Of brine and in 1856
was turning from 80 to 10 barrel
of salt . day.
This company also discontinued
The records fail to show just whel
the production Of salt in the stat

, but 1t was apparently about s
: years old.
