Is there a people have it vate sale The actual amount of the bonds is with as the premium and as the accrued interest The street improvement bonds were sold October 16 1916 to the Field Richards Co of Cincinnati The Farson Son concern of New York City entered an injunction against the delivering of the bonds to the Cincinnati concern holding that the Field Richards Co did not have the lowest bid The case remained in court until March when it was dismissed and the New York firm withdrew the case and paid the costs Then Field Richards Co refused to take the bonds because of the conditions which had changed in the bond markets At a private sale the bonds were sold to Weil Roth Co and Friday the check was received by the city auditor and the bonds turned over to the successful bidder This means that all street improvements affected by the bond issue can be carried through as scheduled GOLDEN STREAM IS POURING INTO NATION'S CAPITAL NOW STANLEY LEONARD AN APPLICANT By United Press

the of the local right as provided in said conservancy law of the proper authorities of said district to assess said city for benefits accruing to it reason of the execution of aid official plan and that none of the rights herein given and granted shall be a upon or an appeal any such assessed benefits The solicitor Insisted that such a clause would throw all of the con- assessments for this tion of work on the city of Piqua while without such a clause the im- in will be paid for by the entire conservancy dis- which will take some of the burden off the shoulders of the Pi- qua Member Leonard stated that the clause was considered necessary by Speaking before members of the Piqua Chamber of Commerce follow- ing a luncheon at the Piqua club In his honor Friday noon W H Manss assistant to the vice-president of the B and O railway spoke upon the subject of the seriousness of the food production in this country Mr Manss stated that few people realize Applicants who are accepted are serious

must take every precaution possible to prevent a serious situation this year Mr Manss in speaking of placing men at work on the farm through employment agencies referred to conditions In the east where it was found that such a plan is not as many of the men sent out to work on the farms remain but a few days and then return to the city They do not like the work while the farmer is fearful that a farm hand will get injured and will enter suit against him The speaker is of the opinion that the practical way of tling the question is to have a farm army That Is to place soldiers who are not in active service on the farms By doing so the results will be The soldiers will keep in condition and the ground will be tilled An Industry for Piqua The speaker stated that he will sist Piqua In

seemed to carry a whereby individuals are paid for property taken by the con- board while the city is not paid for property taken from it the conservancy board and the er would not stand for such an tion by the city of Piqua After a long discussion on the subject a vote was taken and it was unanimously decided to check out that clause which was a decided victory for the people's champion George Berry During the various arguments on the subject Member Spiker stated that Miami county's share of the expense for the construction of the dams etc will amount to while Montgomery county and ilton county will spend at least in Miami county for their share of the improvement From a standpoint Mr Spiker cannot see why there is so much opposition in Piqua against the construction of the dam and improvements in this section The council decided to call the Washington township trustees in a joint meeting for Monday night to consider a proposition offered by ihr> Darke County Mausoleum company
