I boundary line between said Hartford and Wabash'townships and ending at the northeast corner of the northeast quarter of section twenty-four (241, township and range aforesaid. Your petitioners aver and say that the petition herein signed by more titan fifty adult resident freeholders and voters of said townships, abutting said township line road, and that more titan ten of such petitioners are Irom each of the townships affected and to be affected by the proposed improvement. Your petitioners further aver and say that the improvement prayed for is less than three miles -111 length, is outside of the limits of any city or incorporated town, connects at both ends witli a free macadam road, on said township line, and that a United States Rural Mail Route passes over said highway, that the same will be of public utility and benefit. Your petitioners further show that the highway thus sought to be improved is a public highway already established and in use and is one of the public highways on the boundary line between Hartford and Wabash township aforesaid. Your petitioners ask your honorable body, that said highway heretofore described be drained and graded and that broken stone be placed upon tile grade and that upon such broken stone there be placed stone screenings. Your petitioners further ask, tint said highway above described be improved to the width of 40 feet, and that said highway be graded to a width of 24 feet, and that broken stone be placed thereon to a width of 10 feet and to a deptlt of 8 inches at the sides thereof and to a dept it of 10 inches in the center thereof and that crushed stone screenings, byplaned thereon to a depth of four (4) inches upon such broken stone, that said improvement be made a double I track and that the name of the said improvement be "The Benjamin Miller Macadam Road.” That to pay for said improvement, we ask that bonds be issued by the County of Adams in the States of Indiana payable in twenty semi-annual installments or series and for the payment of which we ask that a tax be levied upon the taxable property of said Hartford and Wabasli townshins aforesaid in a sufficient amount to pay the interest and principal of said bonds as they become due.

We further ask that the Board take all of the necessary steps required by law to have said improvement constructed without submitting the question of building the same to an election of the voters of said Hartford and Wabash townships and that the Board construct the same under the laws of the State of Indiana now in force providing for the extension of free Gravel of Macadam Roads by township taxation.

THE TYPHOID FLY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) cerning new methods probably will be issued soon. The fly seasons begin in the south during the last part of February, and tho department’s investigator of ma-' larial mosquitoes there is also considering methods of controling the typhoid fly. The department is also investigating the stable fly, which is an important enemy to agriculture, in that it seriously reduces the value of live stock. In Montana the department is conducting another investigation of a ! disease-bearing insect. This is the carrier or "spotted fever" —a species of tick in the northern Rocky moun- [ tain region. Still another investigation has to do with the possibility that pellegra is transmitted by insects. This has not yet been proven. Tlte department of agriculture’s bureau of entomology has a bulletin for d’strlbutio.i dealing with the typhoid fly. Remedies and preventives are recommended. — o —— PAINTER AND PAPER HANGER. I am prepared to do painting and paper hanging. All work guaranteed. Leave orders at Enterprise* drug store or Manin’s restaurant. 61t12 JOHN S. CRAMER.
