C. Barber, who occupied the room for many years^as a dry goods store. While there -was 'data relative to elections the interesting part was the record of 'the weather which in those days.must have been- unusual, May 21,1883 it snowed fin Jain)mil IL. stood at 25 below; 6th at 28; 7th at 10; 16th, 10 and oh the 25th 30 below. On February. 11, 1885 the mercury reached 22 below. Very frequently we hear discussion about the coldest days and the correct dates. The above should be kept for no doubt they are correct.

Board Cannot Assume Debt The fifteen^ taxpayers in Ross Twp. that had signed a note for $2,800 for money borrowed,from C, N, Stuckey, to finance the erection of a gymna­ sium, received a body blow when At­ torney General Bettman, rendered an opinion to County Prosecuting Attor­ ney, Marcus McCalHlter, that Ross Twp. School board members, could not assume the obligation and ask. voters of the township to approve a bond is­ sue to pay the indebtedness. The board can neither issue bonds with or, without the approval of the voters. The gym was erected by private subscription and“was to be paid for by the revenue from athletic games, Dnly $900 was realized and the note is long overdue. Under the decision o f the attorney general those who signed the note must pay—not the taxpayers even though they should approve it.

In many of the cities certain sections have more churches than necessary and other parts not enough. The give and take exchange plan will correct many unpleasant situations.
