CONTRACTOR REPORTS HE READY TO START WORK PRI- DAY MORNING v IS Today QUANDARY OVER SELECTION OF NEW COMMISSIONER Jack Warden, city engineer, reported to the council at their regular meeting Tuesday night that Contractor H. J. Hart of Elyrla was ready to start work on Elyrla avenue tomorrow morning. The surface treatment on the lirownhelm road from Gordon's cor ner to Brownhelm Center waa put on yi-Hienlay and the scarifying machinery was moved to Amherst today. Rumors to the efTect tbat Elyria avenue would not be repaired thia fall have cauaed a great deal of ralaun l-eratundlng aiujjng the property owners concerning the sewer connections. Mayor Smythe reports that several have come to him, stating that they did not want to put in sewer connections unless tbe road waa to be repaired this fall. The matter of sewer connections was discussed by tbe council Tuesday night and it was decided that any sewer connections put In after October 3 must be tunneled in so aa not to cause a wash-out when tbe macadam is put on the road. The council also urge* that residents who are planning to put in lower connection* should put them ln at once ao as not to delay work on the street.

Slag will be bauled to the east end of tbe street tomorrow and Saturday, and that end of the street will be On- lsh*8d before the west end. The street will be closed for only a short time so a* not to inconvenience any property owners en that street. The Amherst News-Times: Whatever may be said in regard to the kind of concerts our band gave us, I believe it woulil tuke something a little more than human to counteract the reception given our players at their Saturday night concerts. The few people who did take the trouble to surround the band stand talked and gosslpped and children played and shouted regardle** of the music—and many really find numbers were given, at the close of which no sign of ap preclation in the shape ot applause. It would wet blanket the effort* of any leader to be met in thut way. It wa* no small thing tor tbe boy* to meet twice a week once for rehearsal and once for play and they are all human, and. I Imagine would appreciate huvltig their teartr* met at least a little way. And apart from tbat, I think they gave us some really good work, which we as a community would do well to enjoy and encourage before we get UM liberal In our criticism. MRS. E. H. L. MUCHINTERESTSHOWN IN CHURCH CONTEST THREE TEAMS WORKING HARD FOR CHURCH AND 8UNOAY SCHOOL MEMBERS *W*1 M TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES AND COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGREED ON PUTTING IN BROWN HELM-AMHERST ROAD THIS FALL It was reported b.v tbe township trustees, ut the council meeting Tuesday night, that th**y had come an an agreement with the county commissioners M repair the Hrownhelm-Am- herst rouil from lirownhelm Center to the west end of Milan avenue. The* trustees, however, are not sat- isfled with the proposed twelve-foot road anil huve asked the vlllsgc council for financial uiel to make it wider, providing the comity commissioners ure willing to stand their part ot the additional expense Mayor Smythe reported that If the village' funds would warrant such fl- nunclal alel, the council would lie will- Inn to do their part in making a wider road. The total cost of the job Is *stltnat ed at $11,400, %%Ja9% will be paid by the township tfUltSW and the remain der by the county commissioners. Tin* township trustees expressed their willingness to raise their portion te, $4,000 if the council were will ing to pay $500 towurd the improve ment and In that way the possibilities of a fourteen-foot rouil would be more assured. The council, ufter discussing every pee* sidle, and several impossible means to raise the money, decided that it could not be* done, on account of the elegruded condition of the village 11- nuuees. Mayor J. J Smyihe uud the township trustees met with the county commissioners this morning and ells i ussed tin* mutter of putting In a fourteen-foot roud. The commission e*rs agreed to stund the additional ei psoas, proviiliiig the township trustees would puy a larger portion toward* the job Trustee Henry Hrandl reported this morning that they had decided to do bo and that work on a fourteen-foot roud will start next week. HIGH SCHOOL TEAM DOWNS GRAFTON Tbe death of County Commissioner Sam V. Halgh creates a vacancy on that body and a number of Inquiries have been made as to how the vacancy 1* to be Ailed. The law provides that ln such case* the county probate judge, county auditor and county recorder can nil the vacancy for the unexpired term If it Is deemed necessary. ' There seem* to be some doubt as to whether the appointee would hold the place until the expiration of Mr. Halgh'* term on Jauuary tlrst or whether he would hold office until a successor was elected. This question will be settled after Oeorge H. Cham" berlaln, chairman of the republican central committee, visits Columbus and confers with the secretary ot state. The law further provides that tbe county central committee shall fill a vacancy that may occur on tbe ticket after the primaries and after the time of obtaining nominations he petition. Both these time* have es- plred and the committee will proceed to choose a candidate. It 1* known tbat there are several candidates. Among tbem are Oeorge Rboadea, Elyria, who waa next to Mr. Halgh at the primaries; Bert Heists** ger, Elyrla, who stood next; Rip Roth, also a candidate at the primaries; Charles Murray, Brighton, member of the county central committee; Dick Walters, and L. H. Hawley, Lorain. It Is usually the custom to follow tbe Instruction* of tbe primaries and appoint the next high man, wblch io this case would be Mr. Rboadea. NO SIGN OP FINANCIAL BETTERMENT THROUGH PINES The mayor's report for the month of September wus read at the council meeting Tuesduy night. The report shows that the mayor (ollected $3.feO during the month of September. Twelve times $3.60 equuls $42.00. Forty-two dollars seems like a small amount in a year if the fines run on un average of $3.50 per month. In order to make a little more money somebody ought to start a rumpus of some kind and then go to Mayor Smythe anil puny over some jack. Of course ue are glad to see that the people of Amherst are real law- abiding citizens. Oeorge Parsons of Cleveland is spending several days lu Amherst visiting frieiuU.

J. Hart of Elyrla was ready to start work on Elyrla avenue tomorrow morning. The surface treatment on the lirownhelm road from Gordon's cor ner to Brownhelm Center waa put on yi-Hienlay and the scarifying machinery was moved to Amherst today. Rumors to the efTect tbat Elyria avenue would not be repaired thia fall have cauaed a great deal of ralaun l-eratundlng aiujjng the property owners concerning the sewer connections. Mayor Smythe reports that several have come to him, stating that they did not want to put in sewer connections unless tbe road waa to be repaired this fall.

The street will be closed for only a short time so a* not to inconvenience any property owners en that street. The Amherst News-Times: Whatever may be said in regard to the kind of concerts our band gave us, I believe it woulil tuke something a little more than human to counteract the reception given our players at their Saturday night concerts. The few people who did take the trouble to surround the band stand talked and gosslpped and children played and shouted regardle** of the music—and many really find numbers were given, at the close of which no sign of ap preclation in the shape ot applause. It would wet blanket the effort* of any leader to be met in thut way. It wa* no small thing tor tbe boy* to meet twice a week once for rehearsal and once for play and they are all human, and. I Imagine would appreciate huvltig their teartr* met at least a little way. And apart from tbat, I think they gave us some really good work, which we as a community would do well to enjoy and encourage before we get UM liberal In our criticism. MRS. E. H. L.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM DOWNS GRAFTON Tbe death of County Commissioner Sam V. Halgh creates a vacancy on that body and a number of Inquiries have been made as to how the vacancy 1* to be Ailed. The law provides that ln such case* the county probate judge, county auditor and county recorder can nil the vacancy for the unexpired term If it Is deemed necessary. ' There seem* to be some doubt as to whether the appointee would hold the place until the expiration of Mr. Halgh'* term on Jauuary tlrst or whether he would hold office until a successor was elected. This question will be settled after Oeorge H. Cham" berlaln, chairman of the republican central committee, visits Columbus and confers with the secretary ot state. The law further provides that tbe county central committee shall fill a vacancy that may occur on tbe ticket after the primaries and after the time of obtaining nominations he petition. Both these time* have es- plred and the committee will proceed to choose a candidate. It 1* known tbat there are several candidates. Among tbem are Oeorge Rboadea, Elyria, who waa next to Mr. Halgh at the primaries; Bert Heists** ger, Elyrla, who stood next; Rip Roth, also a candidate at the primaries; Charles Murray, Brighton, member of the county central committee; Dick Walters, and L. H. Hawley, Lorain. It Is usually the custom to follow tbe Instruction* of tbe primaries and appoint the next high man, wblch io this case would be Mr. Rboadea. NO SIGN OP FINANCIAL BETTERMENT THROUGH PINES The mayor's report for the month of September wus read at the council meeting Tuesduy night. The report shows that the mayor (ollected $3.feO during the month of September. Twelve times $3.60 equuls $42.00. Forty-two dollars seems like a small amount in a year if the fines run on un average of $3.50 per month. In order to make a little more money somebody ought to start a rumpus of some kind and then go to Mayor Smythe anil puny over some jack. Of course ue are glad to see that the people of Amherst are real law- abiding citizens. Oeorge Parsons of Cleveland is spending several days lu Amherst visiting frieiuU.
