Yellow Springs covers much-more ground than the ordinary town and for that reason 41 hydrants will be rteceessary for fire protection. The estimate calls for a 100,000 gallon storage tank. . , Yellow Springs has been much in­ terested in waterworks and another joint meeting of citizens and council will be held later.. i A new question has come up in the .{county. ‘Can one office? interfere with another in the performance o f his duty and does traffic and speed regu­ lations govern officers on* duty the same as private citizens? ” Dr. F, M, Chambliss, coroner and Kenneth C, Barr, county road patrol­ men are cited to appear before Mayor Ogan, Jamestown, on warrants sworn out by Marshal Ai Zeiner. Both are charged with violation of a,.village or­ dinance regulation street traffic on congested streets.

Coroner Chambliss says he was hurrying to the accident to get pic­ tures to be used in the inquiry, fie had instructed ■Patrolman Barr to make haste to the scene to prevent re­ moval of the automobiles that figured in the. accident. , The action taken by Marshal Zeiner wrings up a new question that the ;ourts may. get fo settle; ’ Janitor Can Be * Fired Any Old Time Attorney General Turner has ruled that the janitor o f the county library is not under civil service classification and may be dismissed at the will q { the board.

James B. Watt, Xenia, for his son, Kenneth Watt and daughter, Bessie Benson, legatees, and benificiaries, un­ der the'will of Mrs. Lytle, made ap­ plication in probate court to open the ’ case for review and require an addi­ tional account. The final account was, approved during the term of J. C. Marshall, as, probate judge. Those interested in the estate set up the claim that there was still as­ sets in the hands of the executor, R. L. Gowdy,' undistributed. To this Judge Gowdy denied and claimed that > he signed over stocks and bonds to the transfer office, but' there was ; delay that he was not responsible for. : The executor says that $9,215.05 out o f which $8,000 was paid to the legatees, .$1,215.05 retained, to meet the inheritance toy and a balance of $173,64 remains.which be has been ready to pay. ; • During the hearing it developed that Judge Gowdy had borrowed the • sum of $3,lj00 from the Citizens Na- tional Bank in Xenia. His claim was that this was digie to make .settlement as certain bonds were not due at that time. Marshall Wolf testified at the hearing that tlfe note hod not yet been paid and only a few days previous to the hearing had there been a credit.' Mr. Watthas refused to accept the $173.64 without an accounting for the reason there is still about $475 in the Lytle account in the Xenia Na­ tional Bank. At the hearing Judge Gowdy testified that he kept his per­ sonal funds in the Citizens'National Bank, The attorneys for. Mr? Watt have a letter from the Pure Oil Co. • stating that there is still one share o f stock the’ books of that company. ,in the name of Elizabeth Lytle tha^’ has not4men transferred vto anyone!!* The case has attracted much atten­ tion,in Ske. fieunty an?t been tRrpfi{&v*r three courts and the attorneys for Mr, Watt state than an appeal to the Su­ preme Court Avill be taken next. The Watts are anxious to know who gets the stock in the Pure Oil Co, and the $475 in the Lytle estate bank, account ■ - Real Estate Men Must Be Licensed Every real estate agent in]Ohio is now required to take out a license at a cost of $10 the first year, and $5 a year thereafter.
