An ordinance bus been introduced info council and had its second read ing, which provides for the appoint­ ment:of ten~inen by the-chief .of fire department and these men to be under Ids direction"at a fire. These ten men are to be paid $1.50 per fire for their services. Row .the question arises: Will this method prove satisfactory?. To employ ten men anct disband the entire Voluntary department will mean ' that ^these men will have the bulk of the work to dp/ -To disband the fire department will mean that these ten paid men Will be held re­ sponsible for getting the fire engine to and from'the fives, the Very question that has- puzzled the present depart­ ment. ■ Council should study this question and measure every 'step before pro­ ceeding, to dishhud the present com- *pany,, for they, are-dealing with? an Important measure. Should vthe change be made and there be ft balk some time during a fire, council must recollect that "the village is held, re sponsible for any damage that might occur from failure of faithful, per fornnuice of duty by village officials, and these ten men, if provided a sal­ ary by ordinance nud paid from the village treasury, will become village officials. .

TwoGeditrvHliaiiB had alighted from the down train iu Xenia Saturday,and rather than Walk up town concluded-. :o ride to the. uptown station on the Springfield train, The train had Jtnrted and was going al a fairly good speed when parties attempted-to board the train hut were stopped by1 the con doctor who shouted to wait a moment and at the same signaled the engineer to stop. This was done after the train had proceeded a distance several times the length of itself.” The parties boarded.the train. The conductor came through and asked if they were going to Springfield, • After several squint* at each other, one answered that he was only going up town, and the other party replied he guessed that was where he would get off The conductor, with one of those in-, dignant airs addressed the couple, ‘You fellow* have certainly got your nerve with you.” All this tim6 the "passengers on board were wondering what the train had stopped for, and those in the rear coach certainly had an opportunity to know the cause. The affair Was really amusing, espec tally to the parties. Some of the pas­ sengers were on their Way *.o^the Traction depot and if they had missed the ctar, they too would likely h«Va been amused, and the OcdftH’illhifi* would have had to bear the cause of amusement.

An instance is cited, Rev Brown- lefr, a well known minister, wrote his wife at Clifton from Dayton. The letter left Dayton WeduesdayafiJ was to the effect that he would be homo Friday.

A session of the Board of Health was held last Babhath sfftornoon for the pilrpose of ihftkiftg arrangement# for the Bpangler child, which at that time was supposed to have smallpox.

We will admit there are many things We do not hear tha-t would he of in­ terest to fenders if t l > new* were publish*!, but on the other hand svo hear many things that we fear the public would not care to know. Then there is ft class of new# that, while.

Bills to the amount 'of $500 were paid, This being the quarterly settle­ ment, the .village salaries had to be pnid. Then there was ft'bond of $200, which was jssued ah ut a year ago to defray the smallpox expense, was due and had to be paid. Council had no important questidus to discuss, ihiistbexhort session. Nev­ ertheless we are inclined to think that they desired to see the show, conse­ quently pushed* things through in a hurry.- ---- - - Commissioners at Sea. In another column will be found a financial statement in regard to Greene county finaricee, and one that look* discouraging to the present board. The board is puzzled at tile situation for they have many bill* that #boUld have been allowad month* ago, but have been delayed owifig to the situation. To make things worse the out-going commissioner Out.the levy to the amount of about $10,000 on thejyear,whichmeans that the pres­ ent board-will .be tied down for sev­ eral months. To take off $10,000 from the eofarity Levy only mean* that the county Will be that much more in debt at the end of the year,. I f the county could not be operated on the old levy, we do not see how it could bs operated off a’ lower levy.

The Herald Wos Adversely Criticised For Exposing,the Sewer “Hold-up” B«t .Only by. These, Who Work <- , , , in ConjunctionWith th e . ■ . . ■- - grafters.” s - .The Xenia edition of the Press-Re­ public aeem.8 to taka exceptions to the H erald s _article last weejk in regard to the critieisni against thei^Sr cpm* f mission of Xenia for holding up the county, for 'more money!than was s> proper for tlie seiyerage privileges. , The Press-Republic”, ha# attempted to pull the:i’wool” over the- public's eyes tand chqrgeajhat oujr artiffip was a viie, seurrilous.attack anj was ut­ terly without foundation. However, we fail to find a statement from any of the building coinmgssioa denying-, pur statement. The Press-Republic- has gone all around the' bush in try­ ing to protect,;Xeuift, something that' is not needed! for the casual observer, can readily’see the'method of busi­ ness pursued id the city Of unblfeachecl Americans. *«' xThe- Press-Republic further states that pur article, was ,utterly-without foundation. To this we balled. Up by telephone Mr. Al. Wickersham, of Jamfestorfa; a member* of the court' house commission, on Thursday after1 nqon, he. being.tife only member wo could reach at the time; He informs us that a' member of the sewerage commission did approach a member1 of the court, house commission iu re­ in tegarfi to' the sewerage privileges - and in reply to an inquiry of the lat> terns to wlM amount they waffled, stated that the city should have at least $8000, as the sewerWould be of , greater benefit to the court bouse than to any other point iu the city. As to whether the above statement corrob­ orated our statement last week, we Will leave it to public to decide,J . To show that the payment of such a sum is unjust, as will be held by the court house commission, as far as we are able to find, there is no difference jnlhe charge for''sewerage privileges for a private residence and and &pub­ lic hotel, then why is it that thePress- Republic would have It tba*t it would be nothing more than fair that the county should pay a greater sunt than assesed by ordinance? Moreover why do they come and ask. this sum when the workjs completed and paid for? In realty the building commission is not foroed to pay one. cent in any manner forifeewerage privilege, the law being such that a public building can have access to any public sewer. And If the Press-Republic and seWer commis­ sion want to get gay over the afikir in all pr ffiabiiity the court house com­ missioners will make their sewer con­ nections regardless of their protests Xenia today doesn't appreciate what the citizens/Of this county have done for them in voting them a mag- nificaut building, for if they did, the Bewer commislon would not ask one penny of the county for sewers. It is nut tight that the tax payer* o f this county pay more than the amount assessed for sewers, at any rate tho people Who Would hat* it to pay will not reerfve one particle of good from it—the farmer, and each should remember. that the FreefrRe- publiti is directly advocating the ex­ penditure of their money far Xfefflak direct benefit. The Herald brought the matter to notice in justice to the tax payer, but we have been strongly criticised by a Jew, glad to say only those who have become >r*o«taiid with A c p * from this »*we *ew»r* —Wattled— I t # ApnR»
