Plan First Concrete Roadway in County

The first concrete roadway in the county may be constructed in the Middleborough pike, if the favorable reports of the viewers, Milo Gentry of ! Greensfork and Theodore Fisher of ! Fountain City, are accepted by the county commissioners. The estimatI ed cost is $48,ot)0. j The improvement, the viewers bei lieve, should start at Tenth street on North J, running east to North Twelfth street where it turns north, joining the Middleborough pike. A half mile of the improvement will be within the city limits. The commissioners are favorably I impressed with concrete roads and while the property owners are given the choice of the paving, the recommendation of the commissioners would probably decide between brick and the newer paving. The improvement of the New Paris pike with concrete Instead of brick is also being considered. However, this will not lie taken up until later.

A plan is being considered by the county Qfficials whereby the roadway from the Fairgrounds west to the city limits may be constructed of coacrete. By agreement between the county commissioners and the contractor, the specifications can be altered. The National road east from Richmond to the Fairgrounds is to be forty-six feet wide and twenty feet j wide west of the fairgrounds to the state line. In order that traffic coming into the city from the east will not be entirely tied up, arrangements have been, made whereby one side of the roadway will be paved, leaving the other open to traffic.

Giles of the city schools and F. C. Pickell, principal of the high school have no desire to take issue with County Superinten dent Williams regarding the advis- j ibility of the introduction of sex instruction in public schools. "After an investigation of conditions in the country schools, Mr. Williams has doubtless found that it would be unwise to undertake the j teaching of this subject," said Mr. Pickell this morning when asked to comment on the stand that Mr. Williams has taken on sex hygiene lectures. No Need To Take Issue. "There is no need for us to take Issue with him as there is nothing to be gained by so doing as the city schools and the county schools are entirely separate. No good can possibly come from an argument of the question." "Mr. Williams no doubt entertains the same opinion that I do regarding sex instruction in the schools," said Supt. Giles. "To my mind It would be highly dangerous to undertake its introduction in the school curriculum Without the assistance of specially trained teachers. "While I have gone on record as favoring the teaching of thib subject. I realize that conditions at the present are not ripe for carrying out the project. The matter has never been con sidered by the school authorities of Richmond, to ray knowledge. Fraught With Danger. "This subject is fraught with grave danger, unless It Is handled properly. Very few people are competent to teach it. It will not be introduced here, until there is a popular demand for it. I am not familiar with the sentiment of the people of Richmond in regard to the matter." Trustee Gives Views. Upholding the view of County Superintendent Williams that courses and 'lectures on sex hygiene are Impractljcal. Township Trustee James Howarth announced that in none of the schools of this township outside of Richmond would he permit them to be given. TO WRECKJNJURIES J. W.

When the shock of the wreck loosened the flues of the boiler, he was enveloped in the hot, hissing steam and then hurled fifty feet from the locomotive. Practically his entire body was burned and scalded. So severe were his injuries that the attending physicians from the start had but the slightest hopes of saving his life.

ONLY THREE TESTED MILK HERDS SUPPLY CITY WITH PRODUCT

Tuberculine Test of Cows is Unpopular With Present Administratio OFFICER IS INACTIVE Flook Puts Soft Pedal on Dr. Bond's Cleanintr-up Work. Richmond resident, as A result of an agitation started several years ago for a more sanitary and healthful milk tupply. for some time have boen fond ling the delusion that dairy conditions in this locality are all that tby thould be. Sanitary conditions at thirty or iuor dairies supplying milk to this city hav been improved greatly the last four or five years through the activities of th state pure food department, but not more than three of them supply milk from tuberculin tested herds. This astonishing Information was given out today by a well known farmer living southeast of the city, and was substantiated by an Investigation. It also was learned that this condition of affairs has existed throughout the present Zimmerman administration. In fact, it appears that City Health Office Davis and Dairy InspecI tor Flook are greatly responsible for the suppression of the movement for the tuberculine testing of dairy herds, after it had been successfully launched by former Health Officer Bond, and encouraged by former Dairy Inspector Stewart. Apply Soft Pedal. Under the state law it is optional with dairymen whether they shall have their herds tuberculine tested, and there is no provision in the city dairy ordinance compelling such action. City Health Officer Davis was to a great degree responsible for the passage of the state law in question, after he had succeeded Dr. Bond as city health officer, and It was learned today that he and Inspector Flook. ai soon as they assume office under the Zimmerman administration, notified dairymen that the agitation started by Dr. Bond for tuberculine tested cows would have the "soft pedal" applied to it. This action was taken in face of the fact that the Influence of Dr. Bond had brought to bear on the dairymen was bringing about the desired reform, although the dairymen legally were not required to take such precautions to safeguard the health of their natrons. 1 They were merely yielding, one by one. ! to public opinion, as voiced by Dr. Bond. Old Order Returns. With the majority of the dairymen the tuberculine testing of their herds was objectionable because they did not want to kill the cows on which the test reacted. Consequently, when Dr. Davis announced that the city health office would not encourage the movement inaugurated by Dr. Bond his edict was hailed with delight by yearly all of the dairymen, who promptly went back to the old order of things. There was one dairyman, E. L. Com!roong tne flrst one the county, to have bis herd tuberculine tested, who was Impressed it ith the importance of such reform, and he continued his policy of herd testing, even though he knew that it did not meet with the aDDroval of his associates.

"I hope the day Is not far distant." said Mr. Commons today, "when the people of Richmond are properly pro tected against tubercular dairy cows. ener. In connection with the suggestion for torch light processions, Edgar Iliff said an inscription for a banner to be carried had been banded him by a member of the party, whose name he would not state. The Inscription read, "A vote for Zimmerman is a vote for all the people. A vote for Robblns is a vote for Rudolph Leeds and millionaire control." Officers Chosen. Other officers unanimously elected were Edgar Iliff. first vice president; William Bockhoff, second vice president; William Richardson, third vicepresident; Robert Boyd, secretary; Walter Johnson, treasurer. The purpose of the organization as set forth in the constitution and by laws, which will be adopted at the next meeting.
