Daviess County Board Reviews Jail, Roads and Sheriff Claim
County officials reported the jail is in excellent condition after repairs. The Barr township to Washington township road extension of about 1.75 miles was approved at an estimated cost near 7000 dollars, with Milton L. Allen and George Stotts named viewers and George A. Faith as engineer. Ex Sheriff Jabez A. McCord seeks 1185.70 dollars for 1900 to 1902 service. 1895 law changes and 1903 amendments affect his pay. The court denied a receiver in Houston Dillard v Smith. Dillard awarded 16 dollars for hauling losses. The County Board of Review lowered and then raised the B&O Southwestern railway assessment, final adjustments pending.

Muncie Abandons Municipal Lighting Autonomy After Bids
Muncie plans to end municipal street lighting due to high operating costs and contract with private firms. Only two bids received, from Muncie Electric Light Co and Indiana Union Traction Co, offer rates for 260 lights and above. A Peru financier proposed private plant at 3.5 cents per 1000 kilowatts but did not submit a formal bid. The city, owning lights for twenty years, faces political critique and an unpaid $20,000 plant debt, with interest paid but principal outstanding.
