It was stated by Street Foreman Elmer Gochenour that the hole into which the car of the complain ant had driven, was visable for a block. The cost of repairs to the car of the complainant was also discussed. It was voted by the council that the claim be rejected. The request that the city open a north-south alley in the block north of Main street between 13th and 14th streets was taken up. There has been objection from several fo the property owners to this additional alley. In that block, all through the Young: and K-es addition, it is provided lor both p. north south and east-west alley- In most cases only one alley has been opened and this is the first case asking for a second alley. The matter was referred to the street, alleys and bridges committee for action. The council also had discus tion at some length of the weeds that are becoming a nuisance over the city. The city has also warned the property owners that the weeds would be cut by the city and taxed against the pro perty. In keeping with the weed ques tion, the council will on Friday meet to open bids on the pur chase of a tractor to be used in the street operation that can be used to operate a mower.

He had remained in the car at the farm and had not left it at anv timp He stated that when Drennan had gone to the house, he had two cans of beer with him, Schomaker had admitted Drennan and he knew nothing what was occuring in the house until later.

Nolte Issues Statement on Budget (Continued From Page One) 1 neighbor, and wanted to make helpful suggestions. I have also felt, that to make , an annual appropriation of : $3700.00 to the county fair, or) $1700.00 in excess of the law re quirements. for repairs of fair buildings and Weeping Water i auditorium was unjustified. ! when our court house windows ; are so badly in need of repairs ; and paint, and our county workmen haven't a dry and de- i cent building to work in. or to ; house our machines and equip ment when it rains or snows. Neither do we have a shed to house equipment at Murray, while the fair buildings are used most of the year by implement dealers to store their stock of goods. I have requested an itemized accounting of the fair appropri ations both last year and again this year, but failed except for a general statement of 1940.; showing receipts of $3,039.09 and shewing 4-H premiums only $895.15 while special attractions were $1,349.35 and salaries and labor $1,296.00. For reasons as stated. and having failed to bring about a single economy or revision, 1 1 felt it my duty to vote negative : when the budget was adopted. And it is my conviction that if even greater amounts had been requested that they too would have been granted. The approximate $16,000.00 increase in the general fund will come out of the bridge and road funds. That many of the bridges that are now out and roads closed will remain so. or until a special emergency bridge levy is approved at the fall elec tion. W. F. Nolte.
