Submitted New Church Plans to Contractor.

Father Hoersman, of Lowell, wa‘ here today with plans for the new church which is to be erected there to replace the one destroyed by fire Thursday, Aug. 28th. He wanted Frank Medland, the contractor for the new gymnasium at the college, to examine the plans. The church at Lowell is named St. Edwiards. A parochial school was in the course of construction when the fire occurred. The fire was discovered before far advanced, but a serious delay was occasioned by air pressure in the water pipes. As soon as the fire alarm was sounded the direct pressure was turned on and in some manner this caused counteracting air pressure, which rnlade it impossible to get any water for about 20 minutes. Father Hoerstman thinks, the damage would not have exceeded S2OO if water had been available when first discovered. As it was the loss was from $12,000 to $15,000. The church was insured for $4,000 and the parish house for SI,BOO. The latter was damaged to the extent of $1,400. In rebuilding the church and school are to be under one roof, the ehurch below and the school above.

MEMBER OF STATE ROAD COMMISSION HERE

— 1 »■ ■ C. A. Kenyon Eurpute From Michigan to Indianapolis Spent Night in Rensselaer. C. A. Kenyon, of Indianapolis, a member of the state highway commission recently appointed by Governor Ralston, was a guest of the Miakeever hotel over Mionday night. He was accompanied by Mrs. Kenyon and they were on their way from Michigan to their home, traveling by auto. Mr. Kenyon discussed with the writer the project of road building and maintenance. He has made a study of the road laws of many states and is convinced that the roads should be supervised from a State headquarters and that there should be system' and careful business management in the building of roads. He finds that the road plans of New York and Massachusetts and other eastern states are good. In those states there is state aid for road building. The quality of the construction is established bn a basis of the amount of travel on the road and. the state aid is o-nly given when the road is built according to the plans developed as best and based upon investigation as to the number and character of vehicles that travel over the road. Mr. Kenyon says that in New York they are using a pitch in the macadam and gravel roads that is proving very satisfactory. He says that the lateral toads can readily be of much cheaper construction on account of the limited travel. Mr. Kenyon knows that the cheap methods of construction are responsible for the poor roads and the great cost of maintenance and also that the increased mileage of cheaply built roads is taxing the county’ resources until it is quite a burden. Mt. Kenyorj says that the eommssion will ,be in shape to draft a law which it is hoped the next State legislature will pass and he expects Indiana to then take a more advanced step in the building of roads that will be easier to maintain and much better all the time. \
