Last Day for Paying Taxes Brought the Usual Great Rush at the County Treasurer's Office—Long, Hard Day

Hancock county received and receipted for thousands of dollars on the last day for paying the fall installment of taxes.

As is usually the case the last day brought a great crowd to the court house and there was the usual rush From early morning a long line of taxpayers were waiting to square their account with the county.

The county treasurer and his helpers were on the jump all day and will have another hard day's work in getting out the mail to those who sent in their money by letter instead of going to the treasurer's office in person.

GHENT WILL ISSUE SILL BONDS

Small Depositors May Invest Money in Bonds Through Postal Savings Banks, Bearing Interest of 2U Percent.

Postmasters have received from the department at Washington a bulletin to the effect that by applying on or before December 2d, next, all depositors of the postal savings system may exchange the whole or a part of their deposits for United States registered or coupon bonds in denominations of $20, $100 and $500, bearing interest from January 1, 1913, at the rate of 2% per cent annually, payable in semi-annual installments. These bonds are redeemable at the pleasure of the United States one year from the date of issue.

Under the old system no bonds were sold for less than $100, but with the change small depositors may also invest. Under the old system no depositor was permitted to bank more than $500 with Uncle Sam. Under the new way the money invested in bonds is not counted against that on deposit. However, postal savings bonds are issued only against postal savings deposits, and are not issued to persons, not depositors. They are assigned in the manner in which other bonds are assigned.

The petition is being signed generously and will go before the court bearing the signatures of a large majority of the citizens of Shirley.—Shirley News.

GREAT HIGHWAY PLAN

Interest in Proposed Highway, To Extend From New York To San Francisco, is Now

On the Increase.

Interest in tlte proposed highway to extend from New York to San Francisco, plans for which were outlined a little more than two weeks ago by Carl G. Fisher, of Indianapolis, is now at its height.

Pledges for the fund of $10,000,000, which will be necessary to defray the expenses of making the road, are pouring in from all sides, and present indications are that the entire sum will be pledged by January 1st. Steps will be taken soon for the appointment and organization of a national committee which will take complete charge of the work, and just as soon as the plans of this body are completed and the entire amount needed is pledged, contracts will be closed with the various counties through which the road will pass for the actual work of building the road. It is fully expected that by May 1, 1915, the ocean to ocean highway will be a reality.

This is the biggest project ever undertaken in the w7hole automobile world. The original plans, the result of months of study on the oart of Carl G. Fisher and James A. Allison, president and secretary, respectively of the Prest-o-Lite Company and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, have been carefully examined by leading manufacturers and financiers all over the country, and have been endorsed by them as being safe, sound and entirely possible of execution. Within thirty minutes after the project was explained to Mr. Fisher at a banquet in Indianapolis recently, a sum of over $300,000 had been pledged by the automobile manufacturers and dealers of the Hoosier Capital alone. Those connected with the automobile industry in other cities and states have not' been slow in responding and the temporary committee composed of Carl G. Fisher and James A. Allison, which is now in charge of the business details of the project, reports that there is no apparent reason why the enterprise should not be carried to a successful completion. Bonded trust companies will be appointed to receive pledge payments as they are made and not a dollar of this money is to be spent until the entire fund of $10,000,000.. or more is guaranteed. In case 'that for any reason whatsoever the ocean to ocean highway project should fail to be realized, the money already contributed will be returned to the original donors with three per cent, interest added. All expenses incidental to the promotion of the plan are to be met by Mr. Allison and Mr. Fisher personally. up to the point where the venture is either a success or a failure.

One thing which stands out prominently in connection with the ocean to ocean highway, and differentiates it from other good road movements started in the past, is the fact that the expenses for the building of the road will be borne entirely by automobile and accessory manufacturers, dealers and owners. Manufacturers and dealers will pledge themselves to contribute to the fund being raised for thispurpose, the assessment being one-third of one per cent, of their gross earnings for three years, or one-fifth of one per cent, of their sxoss earnings for five years, as will be decided later by the National Committee. Automobile owners are given a chance to contribute to the fund by taking out. memberships in the Oc'ean-to-Ocean Highway Association. these memberships to cost, $5. $100 or $1,000.

In this way the road can be built without expense to the general tax payers of the country. Politics have been entirely eliminated from the scheme, and there will be no political disputes or wrangles to interfere with the progress of the road Crushed rock and other material necessary for the building of t,he highway will be delivered to the points where it is to be used. Contracts will be closed with the counties to take charge of the construction work under the supervision of United States government engineers.

It has been figured that this plan of handling the purchase of material and the labor incidental to the bjjiiding of the road, will result in a' gigantic saving as contrasted with thentt'dinary methods of road contracting. Taking as a basis the best rock roads in northern Indiana and northern Ohio, the ocean to ocean highway, which will cost $10,000,000, will in reality be worth $25,000,000, since a private contractor's profit, usually from $800 to $1,000 a mile, will be saved.
