FARMERS CIRCULATE PETITIONS TO TURN ROADS OVER TO COUNTY

Dozens of petitions are bein? circulated in townships for the converting of township roads to free county turnpikes, and W. O. Jones, county highway commissioner, has made arrangements for the presentation of these petitions to the county commissioners in September. All roads which meet Uie requirements will be taken over by the county, and late in September, after the work has been completed, the whole county road system will be reorganIced, new districts made and additional road superintendents secured. The commlBioners and Mr. Jones want all petitions in at once, in order to anticipate the the coat of maintenance and to prepare for it in the tax rate. The township road tax rate will be lowered and the county tax made slightly higher.

In this way the townships which have the smalles mileage ottownship roads to keep up will be benefited much more than townships which do not turn over the roads to the county. Although there is now no means of getting at the mileage of township roads to be made county roads, Mr. Jones belleveB it will be sufficient to place Wayne county in the list of leaders of the state. The county now maintains 240 miles of road and those which are highest in the state have four or five hundred miles of county roads. The townships are again in power, as far as roads are concerned, as nothing can be done with them without the signature of the trustee to each petition. The trustee's signature with those of two resident or property owners on the road are required as the minimum for a petition.

WETS PAD LISTS

f Continued from Page 1.) the poll books with notations to the effect that for various reasons the persons were not entitled to vote, making a total of 8,432 males in the city of the age of twenty-one years and over. This according to the usual calculations would indicate a population here of between 35,000 and 40.000, whereas the recent report of the United States census, given since the local option election was held, indicates a population of less than 25,000. "One can hardly escape the conclusion that there was a concerted effort on the part of the opposition to pad the poll list-a. This feeling is emphasized when we know that from one saloon thirty-nine names were given to the poll takers from another fortyone, from another eleven, etc. It was easy to have worked this plan not only from saloons, hut from hoarding houses and other places sympathetic witli the wets. Had we not taken the time for a second poll, the wisdom of which some of us questioned severely, we might by careful investigations of the first poll, have been able to have stricken some hundreds of names from the list. Examine Poll Books. "We are not left, however, to judge the situation wholly in this general manner. One of car leading citizens

has taken the time to examine care- i

fully seven of the poll books in precincts which were largely controlled by the wots. He finds that in these seven precincts there are "!0 names on the poll hocks which do not appear in this year's city directory. If even half this avfriTv'- wore maintained in the other twenty-three precincts it would account in large part for the abnormal excess vote polled and on the poll books. While a small number might be properly accounted for, there can hardly be more than one honest conclusion from thi.-. examination, and that is that the suspicion that the poll lists were padded is practically verified. Our organization on election day kept many of these from voting, as the poll bcokfi show, but many more of them succeeded in their attempts to vote. "This same citizen finds also that in these seven precincts there are 140 persons whose city address on the poll books is different from the address in

this year's city directory. It may be stated further that in both instances cited nearly everyone was marked wet on the poll books. Grand Jury Promised. "Another matter needs to he set forth here with some clearness. On either Friday or Saturday before the local option election the County Prosecutor was notified that several affidavits wero ready to be made charging fraud and violations of the law. He refused to agree to accept, these affidavits and approve them to the court, justifying his course with the statement that after the election the Grand Jury would be called and an investigation made of all matters under consideration. From that day until this your Chairman lias patiently waited for the naming of a Grand Jury and has been ready to give the Grand Jury the names of persons who have been reported to have information concerning fraud and violations of the law. Whether or not these persons would, under oath, stand by their former statements given to various persons I do not know, but Grand Juries exist for the express purpose of sifting evidence and finding out whether or not the law has been violated. "Your Chairman has believed also that if a Grand Jury could have the facts as stated above relating to the probable padding of the poll lists, it would be a most fruitful field for an interesting investigation. Why almost three months have been allowed to go by without the calling of a Grand Jury is not known to the officers of your Committee."

Porter; "Chance," by Joseph Conrad: "When Ghost Meets Ghost," by De Morgan. "The History of the Flood of March, IS'13" is a volume compiled by C. W. Garrett for the Pennsylvania railroad.

TEARS DOWN HOME

The police were notified today that the home of William Titus and family, 404 South Eighth street, was being torn down about them, Titus having emphatically refused to move despite two eviction notices served on him. The house is a small and ancient frame structure. One side has now been practically demolished but the roof still remains on the building. The police were told that the property was sold a few days ago. When the new owner came into possession of the property he decided to waste no more time trying to get the Titus family out of the house and gave orders that it be torn down over their heads.
