Council mot in regular session Mon­ day evening, all members being pre­ sent except member Lowry. The room was well filled with visitors from the high school, Miss Townsley’s Class in physics, was present to get some idea of the management of village govern ment and proceedings o f the village legislative body. Reports of the usual committees were heard and the month ly bills ordered paid. ‘ President O. E. Bradfute of the Cedarville Telephone Co. was present *and asked for a new franchise as the , old one for twenty years expired a- bouttwo months ago. Mr. Bradfute went into the.legal side of the case and explained that the question of rates, which council at a former meet dug had,asked he insetted in the'frra- chise, could not legally ho done and he read a Supreme jCourt decision covering a- similar case, Under exist-, ing laws rates of public utilities com­ panies are all. fixed by a state com* .mission having these companies in charge, It was also shown that it was jnpt even'necessary for the company to ask. for a franchise but Mr. Brad­ fute stated that his company did not want to ignore council or'the people here..and for that reason was asking for a renewal qf tbs franchise. : The franchise was presented and. Council has.turned it Over to the so­ licitor, Attorney Harry D, Smith'for hia.opinion. It will probably be acted upon at the next meeting. . . ■ APPEAL FOR AID.

Attorney Morris D. Rfce of Osborn was in'town this Week and in conver­ sation gave ua some information on the- proposed change -of location of Osborn as that town is to be wiped off the map through the creation of the Miami Conservancy District., The district now owns all town property including all -residences and business, houses, churches inclu The district has not purchased. .Odbpm waterworks or the school building. As the traction"line and the Big Four and Erie railroads are being moved to higher ground the present town site will soon have no traction or railroad facilities. A movement is wider way, in- fact the incorporation papers are expect­ ed any day, for the formation of a company to purchase a. site of 129 acres about two miles East of Fair- field And move the town there. The Bath -township centralized, school house adjoins this site and will .pro­ vide school facilities rof the new vil­ lage. We understand the conservancy district has offered, to sell all the. pre­ sent building, in Osborn, ofr seven per .cent of what they paid the original owners. The company would then pre­ pare to move all that were of value to the,new site -ov retell them to the lot owners on the new si£e. It is said the buildings could be moved up the' old traction bed with put any trouble. The new site is touched by the' Xenia pike, the Springfield pike, the two railroads and traction line.' - The undertaking is' a big one and those' at the head of thenew company realize a great responsibility is be­ fore them in moving an entire town but Osborn people are proud of their town that for years has had modem conveniences of water works and elec trie lights and with the' acComoda- tions given by the ’railroads and a traction line .are loath to give It up' and for that‘reason will back the new plan. - , „ *.

The mayors of the villages and Chairmen o f the township trustees of the townships to tin county met to Xenia Tuesday to srioct two new mem bers of the county board of Herith, Th; first law was changed and Xenia dropped out which necessitated the namng o f two new members. The mayors' and trustees selected Dr. Walker of Jame3lown and Harvey Elam, clerk o f Xenia township. The meeting is said to have been as*inter* esting ope wherein the legislators Came in for a panning for passing such.a law fhat vma absolutely throw­ ing-away seyeral thousand dollars each' year as legalized graft. ‘ ’ The budp-'t arranged, under the first |board called for an outlay of 18000 to 1start with wlrrii was only for autos, office fixtures, salaries and nurses.
