The Repair of the Conduit Road.

To the E6:tor of The Evening Star:
The Conduit road ID now being resurfaced
with crushed stone. Long stretches are spread
with the prepared material. which, instead of
being rolled firmly into place, as to furnish q
hard and smooth surface at once. is left for
passing vehicles to pack into permanent posi-
ton Most vehicles have narrow tires carry
light loads and perform the rolling operation
very slowly and imperfectly. Whenever prac-
ticsble the rough and yielding new surface is
stunned for sideways, though the latter may be
muddy and heavy.
Why cannot this road owned by the United
States. be maintained in a creditable manner?
Why cannot approved modern methods. such as
prevail In civilized Europe. be followed? WHY
cannot heavy rollers be Immediately used on
the new surfaces? In France Germany and
other continental countries constant repairs
are being made and the roads are at all times
kept smooth and hard The Conduit road
should be similarly cared for. Its grades, with
two or three exceptions. easy; its drainage
perfect and il winds through a beauti-
II European systems of maintainance
were pursued II would become far more popular
than il il now. and our citizens could point to
1t with pride the equal Of the best highways
of the world. i; Is probable that a plan of
constant repairs would not be more expensive
than the annual or semi-annual method now in
vogue. while the results would be far more sat
isfactory. IL the cost should be greater the
splendid results which would follow would JUS
tify the increase National pride should i'm
pei us to make our governments roads good
II not better than any TO be found in other civil

AN ENJOYABLE BALL,
The Carnival and Masquerade by VI
for Lodge at Masonic Temple

The Carnival and Masquerade by Monte
for Lodge at Masonic Temple.
Considerable ingenuity was necessary to
evolve the many pretty. unique and novel cos
tunes which were worn by the jolly masquerade
ers at the Masonic Temple last night. The in
dividual costumes showed great originality and
the arrangement of the groups was entirely
new. The occasion was made most enjoyable
one by the members and friends of the Monte
fore Lodge, No. 40. Improved Order of B'nai
Birth, by whom the ball was given.
Characters and personages Of every descrip-
ton filed the hall, and thr ough the entire
evening there ran spirit of good natured
revelry, which was amusing without being OBJ
jectionable to any one. as no harm was meant
by the fun INDUCED in. The dancing before
the unmasking occurred was highly interesting.
One of the best groups in the hall was what had
been designated the "Louse Alley Band
They were representative of a number Of crap
shooters who well looked their parts. They
performed on mouth organs, guitars and tri-
angles. and by their antics created great deal
of amusement. Between the dances they So
hcited contributions for the Hebrew charities.
The 1ammany wlgwam was another group
that one could not help but notice. large
tent had been erected and before it sat the
famous big four dressed in the clothes which
characterize the Tammanyite wherever he may
be. Close at hand was cage in which the
tiger in the form of big striped cat was kept.
Modern justice was well portrayed. In one of
the corners of the hall were two prison cells.
In the first was aristocratic embezz,er with
everything at his beck and call that fashion,
able could demand. Adjoining him was the
ordinary citizen who had offended some small
police regulation and he was detained in a
stuffy, dingy cell with nothing to make him
comfortable. In another part Of the room the
bridge of a ship had been built and on it stood
an officer bedecked with all the gilt Of his
office. He distributed cigarettes to all present,
being assisted by an old salt and captain.
The ball was one Of the most successful ever
held by this society and the credit is principally
due to the executive committee, composed Of
Messrs. Hermann Baumgarten, NJ. Rubenstein,
W. NJ. Frank. Morris Brick and P. Lindheimer
Herman Baumgarten the master of cere-
monies, and Isaac Cans. the floor manager,

what the Commissioners VIII Do Under

81 am incliued to believe that the decision Of
Judge Miller disposes Of all cases arising under
the new liquor law" said Commissioner Ross
in reply to q question Of STAR reporter, as to
what the Commissioners proposed to do now
that the law had been defined ~ think, how
ever" said Commissioner Ross, ''that the Com
missioners are not disposed to strictly construe
the law against those applicants who obtained
licenses in good faith and by reason of the IA CT
that they had good records. We will give them
q reasonable time in which to file new appli-
cations"
show about those applications which have
already been refused?" 9ueried The STAR man.
'Whst action will the Commissioners take in
relation to them?'
1.-The law seems TO be very plain on that
point, and the Commissioners will not be party
to permitting any man whose application has
been refused keeping his place open after hav-
ing received notification from to close
They, of course, will have to take the conse-
quences."
"What will the Commissioners do in relation
to the difference between the money paid for
the old licenses and that necessary for the
new?"
1.-The Commissioners will place to the credit
Of those whose licenses are issued under the
old law S64 so for retail and S16.l u for whole
the new law the present holders of retail
licenses will be required to put up additional
