500 Reward Posted
for VandaPs Arrest

A 500 reward is offered for infor-
nation which will lead to the arrest
and conviction Of vandal who ruin
ed ten new silk dresses at the New
Palace store Friday.
Using a finger nail file, a 'Bobby"
pin, or some similar instrument,
someone tore large holes in the dress
es which were hanging on rack in
the back part of the store. The per-
SON evidently slipped behind the rack
while the clerks were busy and walk
ed out unnoticed.
The damage was discovered just
before closing time and it is believed
that the vicious act was committed q
few minutes before as the dresses had
not been disturbed when the last sale
was made from the rack after 5 p. m.
The instrument used cut the cloth
in some places and then slipped over
places only tearing the threads, indi-
eating that it was not done with a
knife or razor blade.
w. R. Wingate, proprietor Of the
store, has no idea who is guilty Of the
act but he took steps to find out by
posting the large reward. He also
notified proprietors Of several other
stores selling ready-to-wsar but no
other places reported damage.

COUNTY LEVY UP
$4,000 TO MEET
new REQUIREMENT
Old Age Pension Act Approved
by Legislature Forces
Added Expense

To meet expenses imposed on coun-
ties at the last session of the legisla-
ture, the county commissioners in
creased the levy made at the annual
meeting this week by $4,000. Last
years levy will be duplicated in other
instances except that $4,000 is to be
sacrificed from the road and bridge
fund to help out the ever-impoverish-
ed poor fund.
$4,000 was voted for an old age
pension fund which was made COM
pulsory by the legislators. Because
the county has no guide to use in ue-
termining the amount required for
the purpose, $4,000 is an estimate
which may run far short or be more
than adequate depending upon the
number Of eligibles who apply.
The present poor fund has been
forced to borrow from the highway
department to meet increased de-
mands for relief and it is hoped that
the additional $4,000 will be ade-
quate. Taking the money from the
highway department will eliminate
all construction work in the county
other than that financed by gas tax
money, commissioners said. Main
tenance work will also be placed on
a more stringent economy basis.
The lowering of the road and bridge
fund by another $4,000 was not OPP
posed by Richard E. Cook, highway
engineer, who stated he could contin-
ue with his work now with less
money.
Three large reductions have been
made in the road and bridge fund APP
preparation since Mr.. Cook came here
as county engineer. The year prior
to his coming, the appropriation wes
$4,000, His first year here it was
100000, this year it was 100000 and
the further cut places the amount at
$4,000.
County officials will receive bids
July 10 for the crawling of the new
North Redwood road and the con-
struction of a bridge over the Red
wood river near North Redwood. The
entire North Redwood project, includ-
ing road, gravel, tree clearing and
bridge, is financed by the state. The
county highway department plans to
fence the new road within a few
weeks.
