INDIANA MAYORS
Join TO DEFEAT
1 CROSSING BILL
Strive to Reduce Burden of
Track Elevation Work
on Taxpayers.

Mayors of four Indian cities met
purpose of organizing concerted ac-
ton against the passage Of a bill
now pending in the Indiana House of
Representatives which would place
half the cost of all track elevation
work on the municipalities. Eleva.
ton work now planned in the State
would cost $40, 100000 it is estimated.
While no definite statement could
be obtained it was learned from
authoritative sources that number
Of State Senators and Representa-
tives were called into conference.
Would Assess Half
The measure introduced by Repre-
sentative French Clemenst (Rep.),
Evansville, would tax the cities and
towns, where track elevation work
is done for the elimination of grade
crossings, with one-half Of the cost
Of the project.
At the present time municipalities,
except Indianapolis, pay one-fourth
of the cost of work at the crossing
\ only,
Mayor William f. Geake, FIT.
Wayne, stated that his city is now
engaged an an elevation program to
cost $4,000,O00 and that passage Of
the bill would result in saddling
debt of 100000 or the people.
Railroads Charged
Representative from South Bend,
Hammond, East Chicago and Gary
are said to have been present.
The consensus of opinion seemed
to be, it was learned, that the rail-
roads have been given high enough
freight and passenger rates for sew
eral years to enable them to pay the
heavier share of elevation work.
Copies of the proposed law were
procured for study and analysis.
The House Committee on Rail
roads, of which Frank E. Cline,
Bargersville, is chairman, postponed
consideration of the measure until
Tuesday of next week.
The Penrod bill, similar in nature,
was defeated in previous sessions of
the Legislature.

Our County Commissioners
By Hans Rasmussen

Commissioners proceedings can
furnish very interesting reading at
times and l hope all of you people
read them. The one printed last
week in the Producers News gave Won
a lot of information about what was
going on, but little further explana-
ton here and there might not do Won
any harm so l am going to give it to
you.
First, you will find that a petition
was presented asking to have a road
opened somewhere east of Antelona
On motion the road was declared
open. 1t was very nice of our COM
nissioners to be willing to accomn1o-
date those people who wanted this
road. Don't you people kid vour-
selves. When it comes to the legal
part that road is not open at all. The
commissioners simply tried to do
something and did not know how f.
do it.
On motion, the Purchasing Agent
was instructed to notify ali moo,
charges that this months aIlovance
would be the last that would he is
sued. There are people who claim
that some people are GETTING hal,
from the county who do not need Il

much about it. From now on tb,

help the poor will get will very likely
not depend so much on if they need
it or not as it will depend on if they
voted for Frank French or not.
You will also find that $4OO.5O was
paid out to J. D. Adams Company
for repairs. This is for so cutting
edges for the graders. They were
ordered by our county commissioners.
Last fall ordered cutting edges
of the same kind, each one costing
S678 laid down here. If l had or
dered so it stands to reason | could
have done still better, but at S6.78
each the so would cost $4,000 or
S61.50 less than our county commits
sioners paid. Steel has not gone up
since last fall. Our county commits
sioners do not like you people
to find out about these things, that
is the reason they want to get rid of
me and are trying to starve me out
by turning down my claims and re-
fusing to pay them. Of course they
have me worried to death and almost
scared stiff.
At the same meeting where they
make a machine company present
of $61.5O they turn down a claim Of
$3.50 for road draggings, just to show

$1,000 is Pledged by Citizens to
Sheridan County Memorial Hospital
Meeting Marks Beginning of Drive to
Raise Funds to Sustain Local Insti-
tuition During Dull PeriOds-Aver-
age Expense $500 Per Month.

Nearly one thousand dollars was
pledged by the citizens of Plenty
wood and its environs Thursday, Ap-
ril 21 at a meeting called by the
board of trustees of the Sheridan
County Memorial Hospital to devise
ways and means to obtain funds to
get the hospital out of its present in
debtedness of about $1,100 and to
have a sustaining fund out of which
monies could be drawn to meet cur
rent expenses when there were not
enough patients at the institution to
make it self-sustaining. This meet
ing marked the initiation of a drive
for funds among the business men of
Plentywood, former patients who
would be interested in keeping the
hospital going, and individuals and
trustees who believe hospital is a
valuable asset for any community to
have.
T. w. Greer, in giving talk on
the needs of the hospital, stressed
two points in the maintenance of such
an establishment: the first that this
one in common with most other hos
pitfalls could not be a profit making
concern at its very inception, being SC
prevented by its constitution and ar
ticles of incorporation and bylaws
the second being that the less pa.
tients there are in the hospital, the
more healthy the community is, anC
the more willing it should be to take

has failed to swing the peoples at
