O0HCJTV TO BOILD ROMS COSTING MOOT 200,000

At least $200,000' In road construction is being contem plated by the county commissioners thia year as "tire result of petitions being presented, demanding that the commissioners construct approximately twenty miles of road under the three-mile road law. During the eleht years 30.30 mil

of road have been constructed; under the three-mile road -law," and as a re

sult, of the sudden desire on - th

part of property owners in this county

to Duna permanent road improvements, the amount of road indebtedness will be approximately doubled, according to County Auditor Bowman. According to law, the commissioners have no alternative and must make plans- for building the roads. The most extensive improvement now proposed is the construction of a - concrete road from the Wayne township ; line to the Henry county line, a total of fifteen miles. To illustrate the desire on the part of taxpayers to stand the cost of the road improvement, Mr. Bowman pointed out that a large majority of the property owners signed the petition. . The total amount pent for road construction under the three-mile road law during the eight years is $410,790. Of this amount $272,995 is outstanding and $137,795 has been paid. The average cost per mile has been $1,323. It ; is being proposed to . build the . new concrete road at an expense not to exceed the average cost of macadam roads in the past. i Tbe followine is a financial state-!

As the car dropped off the roadway Mrs. Smith was thrown over the steering heel, alighting on the top of a harbed wire fence post with such violence that every stay in her corset was either bent or broken. Corset Saves Her Life. Had it not been for her corset she probably would have been killed instantly. Mrs. Smith would also undoubtedly have boen killed outright if she had not been thrown from the machine, which, after striking a fence post, turned over on its top. The car was nearly demolished. Mrs. Smith was returning to her home from an errand when the accident occurred. She suffers such exrrutiating pains from the Injuries to her bowels and stomach that she has been kept under the influence of opiates.

ments. The contract was awarded to

representatives here and it will be placed before Col. Roosevelt and Justice Hughes before the convention.

The tentative platform is a bitter criticism of the "inefficiency" of the Democratic administration.

It sets forth that the business af

fairs of the government have been

neglected and places much stress on the strained conditions of the national finances. The increased direct tax burden imposed by the Democrats comes in for condemnation. The tariff plank is a vigorous attack on the Underwood tariff law and as

serts if the European war had not occurred the Democratic tariff would have caused a panic within a few months after, its enactment. Much stress is laid in the platform on the conduct of the government by President Wilson and it is expected that even Col. Roosevelt will be satisfied with the criticism of President Wilson.

Practical Economy Baking powders made from alum or phosphate may be bought for a trifle less than Royal Baking Powder, which is made from cream of tartar, derived from grapes. Alum, powders are not only cheap, but they differ greatly in leavening power. If a cheap baking powder is used for a fine cake and the cake turns out a failure there is a waste of costly materials worth more than a whole can of the cheap baking powder. Royal Baking Powder produces the finest food, and its use therefore, results in an actual saving. ROYAL, BAKING POWDER CO. New York

ing their case, Chairman Duncan admitted that "the facts presented were

worthy of thorough consideration and that such consideration wruiM Tin vivmn

before action was taken on the proposed .Teadiness-to-serve charge. Duncan Reviews Case. Chairman Duncani In reviewing the case, stated that the commission was satisfied the Richmond City Water Works company v. was not receiving the revenue it was entitled to. He said there was no disposition on the part of the commission to Increase the rates for the small consumers; that the city officials of Richmond were strenuously objecting to the municipality's contribution to the water company's revenue, maintaining that the present rentals for fire hydrants in Richmond were hieher than In mv

other city of the state; and that, in consequence, the commission had seriously considered providing the water company with the revenue the commission believed it to be entitled to by establishing a readiness-to-eerve charge on fire protection systems, a charge sufficient to make up the revenue deficiency. ' City Attorney Bond, who attended the meeting, informed the commission that, in his opinion, the charge proposed was absolutely unjust and that furthermore, he did not believe the water comnanv was entitled to anv

more revenue tnan it is now receiving. W. J. Hutton, president of the Richmond City Water Works company, and also president of the Hutton Casket company, was one of the witnesses appearing before the commission. Despite his connection with the water works company he expressed the opinion that it would be unfair to provide a charge for fire protection systems. Other witnesses were James A. Carr, George H. Knollenberg, E. M. Haas, George Seidel and S. E. Swayne. Taxes Pay for Protection. These witnesses pointed out that they were now paying a charge for fire protection in the form of taxes, and if a readiness-to-serve charge was established they would be paying a double charge for fire protection. They took the position that the

sprinkler" 'systems protect"" adjoining

buildings as well as their own, that they made continuous operation of their factories more certain, and that the sprinkler system was a benefit to the city and the community at large as well as to their plants. They held that they should not be doubly taxed .for reducing fire hazards to a minimum, and. contended that If such a. readiness-to-serve charge was required the . community should pay it. :r : Among the other Richmond -men who attended the hearing yesterday were .

Indianapolis, represented the other interested concerns. . It is said the commission was considering a charge of 5 cents per year on each sprinkler , head.; There are 9,000 sprinkler heads in the system used at the American Seeding Machine plant, which would mean an annual charge of $450 for that company.
