Suggestion it Made to Plat Half and Utilize Remainder for a Home for the Aged There was nothing doing The board of supervisors met at the usual hour Tuesday morning and the Brst matter of business was the open ing of bids for the sale of the old eighty acre county farm on the fringe of the residence district of the west side A call was made for the au ditor to produce the envelopes when that official stated theres nothing Advertised for Bids Several weeks ago the board de that two farms were more than necessary for tho county so the audi tor was authorized to Insert notices In the official papers of tho county ad vising of the intention to sell the old farm Sealed bids were to be re and opened April 6 The ab sence of bids caused no apprehension for the simple reason Blackhawk Is abundantly able to own both proper ties even though it indicates a hold ing of 280 acres of soil The old farm is located so near the residence dis that it will be desirable for re purpose within a few years and as both farms are entirely paid for there is no immediate desire to let go of the old property Had Received Offers When the proposition to purchase the new two hundred acre farm was considered the question of sale of the old property was brought up The board had nn offer of an acre for it but hesitated about selling it and they were advised that the proper ty was worth at least 300 on account ot Its location and that many persons would refuse to vote for the purchase of the new property if the old one was placed on tho block at anything short of Therefore the board refused the offers and opened the sale by bids without result WANT HOME FOR AGED Since the purchase ot the new farm the suggestion has been made that tho county can afford to own all or part of both farms and either subdivide the old one into lota or soil a portion of It and on the remainder construct and maintain a home for people of the county H is thought that half the old farm can bo subdivided and sold for residential purposes realizing as much ns would hn from the entire tract at per acre While this suggestion has been offered the board has not taken It under yet they taken a survey of the surrounding and find that the old farm Is huta very short distance from pavement on Hammond avenue With the extension of tho street car ser vice the reasonable price the lots could bo sold at and the easy access of paving it appears that Investors are losing an opportunity to realize handsomely and that tho county will lie forced to make more money off the sale of half tho property and on the remainder locate other ces or the care of tho people who need attention Remember the 7 and 8 Wednesday and Thursday at the Dreamland theatre The Official Pic tures of the Belle Gunness Tragedy of
