have been done by prison labor, it Is
then, only, that one begins to be ap
palled by the magnitude of the cost of
repairs of one little stretch of county
highway less than three miles in length.
This particular road district had on
Jan. 1, 1918, approximately twenty-five
miles of Improved roads, which disclosed
a cost of $1,360 per mile for the entire
district. The entire mileage In the
county at this time, as shown by the
records in the office of the county high
way superintendent, is 63714 miles. The
total expenditures from the gravel road
repair fund for the year 1918 was $317,-
859.86. making an average cost per mile
for the whole county of $499.
(State Board of Accounts Report,
May 26, 1919.)
On Aug. 2, 1916, bonds'in the sum of
SIOO,OOO were sold to pay for the con
struction of a bridge at Senate avenue,
over Fall Creek. In 1918 there was paid
on this contract on account of this
bridge, $10,413.10, and for the purchase
of ground for approaches, $3,100. leaving
a balance from the bond Issues for con
struction. Dec. 31, 1918, of $56,486.90.
The work of building the bridge was
at a standstill for some time on account
of litigation, and In the meantime, as
shown by another tabulation the funds
have dwindled away on account of the
depleted condition of the .treasury until
at the present time the county commis
sioners are in an embarrassing position
of having spent the money and the great
er portion of the cost of the bridge con
struction is yet to be paid.
Following these excerpts the booklet
takes up Instances of waste and neglect

ifHE STAR STORE;
let a contract to the Sheehan Construc
tion Company for the building of a per
manent highway on what Is known as
Michigan road or the continuation of
Northwestern avenue.
The contract included the raising of
the bridge over White Kiver to the level
of the new road.
Later the commissioners let a con
tract to W. H. Price, receiver for the A.
J. Yawyer Company, for anew bridge
over White River at this same point.
Then they attempted to cancel that
part of the Sheehan contract that called
for the raising of the old bridge and the
building of npproaches and they en
tered Into an agreement to deduct $25,000
from the Sheehan contract price.
A. L. Donaldson, civil engineer and
field examiner of the State Board of Ac
counts, examined these two contracts and
reports that the commissioners released
the Sheehan Construction Company from
doing what the county engineer had esti
mated would be $40,844.93 worth of work
in consideration of the contractor de
ducting $25,000
Donaldson also estimated that owing to
the increases in construction costs the
county would lose $25,226 because of the
release of the Sheehan Construction Com
pany and he recommended that the
county bring suit to save a total of
$43,646.36.
Total cost of courthouse employes,
1918, $18,527.03.
An analysis of the payment of the
salaries Included In the foregoing tabu
lation discloses the fact that the regular
pav roll for Janiors was SIOO per month
until two or three months prior to the
prltnnry election, when it was Increased
to $360 per month, then immediately
dropped after said primary to $490,
where It remained for the remainder of
the year.
The total cost of Janitors and other
employes as shown above seems to be
exceedingly high In proportion to the
size and general condition of the build
ing, and if this cost Is to remain the
standard, certainly the taxpayers of Ma
rlon County are entitled to excellent
service.

The cost ot repairing and painting the
booths and ballot boxes in the sum of
$940.93, when added to the cost of tin*

In view of the fact that the total cost
of all material used was $95.94, this con
vinces one that the laborers were not
greatly overworked.
“HOW MY POOR
BACK DOES ACHE!”
Many a woman keeps Sloan’s handy
for this, but It’s great for
other pains, too:
THAT dragging, wearying backache,
that so many women regularly
suffer from, is quickly eased by a
little Sloan's Liniment.
But It Is good for all the family. Ap
ply it, without rubbing, for all kinds .of
aches and pains, from the sharp neuralgic
twinge to the dull, tearing ache of rheu
matism.
Then there's sciatica, lumbago, sore
muscles, stiff joints. Keep a bottle handy,
for you'll ncevr know when you will
need It.
Largest size Is most economical. At
all druggists—3sc, 70c, $1.40.
