General Movement For Better Road System

The township road tax increases in every township in the county since the three mile gravel road law became operative, is greatly worrying the board of county commissioners. The stream of road petitions continues to pour into the board and if they are legally prepared the board is practically compelled to approve them and authorize tho construction of the roads. While there are methods provided for the defeating or such petitions they are so cumbersome as to be impractical. The law provides that in the event the county board rejects a petition it must call a general election so the people can approve or disapprove their action. The commissioners are of the opinion, however, that If they called an election for every road petition they were not in favor of a mighty roar of protest would go up. The simpler method for defeating a petition i to secure a remonstrance against It, signed by more freeholders in the township or townships where it is proposed to build the road, than the number of freeholders signing the road petition. Why Method Does Not Work. However, but little attention is paid to road petitions by the general public, county officials say, and there have been very few remonstrances entered in this county. In many cases the commissioners would welcome the filing of such remonstrances, but as much as they desire to keep down the road taxes they are of the opinion that they would be exceeding their duties to inspire the inauguration of a remonstrance against any proposed road, no matter how reluctant they are to order its construction. It Is t,he general opinion among county officials now that there will be less objection to the three mile gravel toad law when the recent amendment to it becomes effective next January. Under this amendment it will be possible to construct permanently improved highways, of brtck. cement and other paving materials, and a method is also provided for a much better system of road upkeep. In the opinion of Wayne county officials roost of the objections to the three mile gravel road law in its present form are based on the fact that it has permitted the building of only costly gravel and crushed stone roads, which are a waste of public money because an efficient system of keeping them in repair has not been provided.

Season For Indiana Watermelon Arrives

The watermelon season is now at 1M height, according to local dealers. The Indiana watermelon, tne pride of the entire species, has reached its highest quality and is commanding a good demand at 35 and 40 cents. Poor Quality Tomatoes. The tomato season Is about ended. Owing to the protracted dry weather those that can be purchased are very poor In quality and range in price from 75 cents to $1.50 per bushel. Cabbage is Scarce. Cabbage is exceedingly scarce, as the Indianapolis and Cincinnati markets have taken all the available suppiy from gardeners in this vicinity. The country is flooded with apples, but few of them are of good quality and none can be kept for any length of time. Prices range from 5f cents to $2 per bushel. Market Sweet Potatoes. Genuine Jersey sweet potatoes are now- in market and are selling at 15 cents per quarter peck. This vegetable is the finest it has been for years The Virginia sweet potato can be purchased for 10 cents per quarter peek Scarcity of Peaches. Present indications point to a scar city of peaches for canning purposes, as Michigan reports a short crop. Those now in the market are the Island peaches, grown in Ohio. The old reliable pumpkin is also on display, selling for 10 cents each. It is believed that it will improve Tn quality after the first frost California Fruit Here. California fruit, consisting of plums, grapes and other small fruits are being sold :n Richmond markets at prices similar to those which have ruled in former years. Eggs to be High. High priced eggs w-ill be the rule during the coming winter, unless it is a very warm one. according to a local dealer, who keeps in close touch with the egg market He says that the packing season is now over and that the supply for winter is very small and will soon be exhausted. This will mean that unless the winter Is open, eggs will be very scarce and correspondingly high Last year people who packed eggs

TO BET, THA T,S

erative next year there will be a general movement in this county to take advantage of it, to provide the county with a system of modern, permanently improved county highways, one-half of each road paved and the other constructed of gravel or crushed stone. Assurance is given that such a system of roadways will not only be much more satisfactory than the roads constructed in this county under the three mile law in recent years, but will be of no greater expense In many cases less expensive. It will be practical, county officials declare, to build such roads in the future for next year, the sections of the road not permanently improved can be kept in repair under a systematic method. The new law provides the office of county highway commissioner, whose sole duty it is to supervise the upkeep of county roads, as the street commissioner of Richmond does. One of the men who will take an active part in the agitation for the halfpaved half-gravel highways is J. C. Boone, of this city. Mr. Boone has made an exhaustive study of modern road systems. He travels extensively in northern Indiana and northern Ohio, where such roads have been experimented with and found to be entirely satisfactory. Shows Advantage of System. "I believe the best highway system Is to build half of a road of brick, and tho other half of crushed stone," said Mr. Boone. "The brick is less expensive than the cement, wears better and is safer. When a cement road is wet it is dangerous, when a break occurs in it a whole section frequently has to be replaced. On the other hand when a brick breaks another brick will repair the damage. "The 'half and half roads are also more popular with the farmers than the solidly paved roads used in some places. In the summer the farmer prefers to drive his horse over well kept gravel or crushed stone road than over a paved road. This leaves the paved section for the use of the automobiles. In winter the farmer drives his team to town on the paved section, avoiding the deep mud or frozen ridges of the unpaved section, and he practically has the road to himself for automobiles are not in very general use in, the country districts in the winter. "I hope that when the Richmond delegation to the Good Roads Congress finish their business in Detroit, they can go to Portage county, Ohio, and study the splendid road system which has been constructed there." lost money by the venture, and this year many of them were afraid to repeat the experimeni. Ttiis is the main cause for the present small amount of the packed article. CAFE 12 Free Fried Oysters Lunch, j Chile Con Carne, 10c bowl. Saturday afternoon and evenins:.. 512 Main street. 11 2t !

(Palladium Special) FOCNTAIN CITY, Ind., Sept. 12 A new fire engine house for Fountain City has been agitated for some time as the present structure is in a dilapidated condition and little fitted for the use it serves. The town board, however, is deferring action in the matter until public opinion has found time to express itself. A petition circulated this week asking that a newbuilding be erected was signed by a large majority of the voters of the town and the building probably will be built. The plan is for a twe-story structure the lower floor for the use of the fire department and the upper to serve for meeiir.es of the town board and the commercial and public organizations.
