BEDFORD MAN ASKS $3,000 FOR CONDEMNED PASTURE LAND
Moses F. Dunn of Bedford has filed suit against the City of Bloomington and
the common council in the circuit court complaining against the $1,800
awarded him for his real estate used by the city in the extension of Indiana
Avenue from 9th to 10th streets. He claims that the real estate taken was
worth at least $3,000. It is 60 feet wide by 400 feet long and is enough,
the plaintiff says, to make two lots (illegible) by 200, facing 9th and 10th
streets.
Mr. Dunn says he has remonstrated against the assessment roll before the
council and that his remonstrance has been ignored. He declares that the
extension of Indiana Avenue through his estate divided the land into two
tracts, the one on the west being the smaller; that he has been using the
tract for farming and grazing and that since there is a good spring on the
west tract, and it is the only available one for the pasture, he is damaged
$2,000 by the street that cuts off the strips of land and the spring.
He says the proceedings of the council are "illegal, invalid,
unconstitutional and wholly without warrant or law." The city, he asserts,
is acting in an unconstitutional manner.

on the sides of the wagon so that all farmers along the route may be able to
read them at a considerable distance.

FRENCH LICK NEEDS A JAIL
We do not mean by the above caption that we have a superabundance of
criminals or that we are likely to have; but once in a while it is necessary
for the officers to make an arrest and there is no place to put prisoners
while being held for trial. The old lockup on Main Street isn't fit to put
hogs in much less a human being. There are times in severe weather
conditions that it is dangerous to lock a person up in it for even a very
short time as there are no provisions for heating it.
The town needs a decent jail with police quarters and courtroom. Such a
building could be built at a reasonable cost and would be a credit to the
town. We have grown beyond the village state.
