BETTER STONE ROAD WITH LjSSJXPEIISE W. O. Jones Submits Plan for Saving Several Thousand Dollars for County, t

To save the county several thousand dollars a year and build better crushes stone roads under county road superintendents, was the purpose of a recommendation submitted to the board of county commissioners today by W. O. Jones, county road superintendent. The road commissioner would first purchase an automobile for the sheriff, paying for it out of what he will save in one year with his plan in operation. Then in addition to using the automobile for criminal detection and capture and replacing the expense of hiring of horses, be would have the sheriff bring him a half dozen of the biggest and strongest prisoners from the county jail to use for road work. His plan extends further by including the purchase of a rock crusher, the price of which would be saved easily in a year, he says. Where gravel is not available, rock ' could be crushed at only the cost of the engineer to run the crusher and the - fuel for the engine. The power would be cured from the engine on the road roller the commissioners bought last year. . The crushed rock roads are superior to the- gravel roads and can be built equally as good as those for which the county is now paying' 15,000 a mile, for a few hundred dollars with the use of prison labor, Mr. Jones says. Sheriff Bayer favors the plan, it is said, and will co-operate -with Mr. Jones in securing the machinery required. INTEREST IN EGGS Purdue Offers Children Attractive Prizes.
