the state aid system, no improvement
is undertaken except upon the petition
Of those residing upon the road to be
improved When such a petition has
been duly signed, it is presented to the
county board, who proceed to have the
necessary drawings and specifications
made. These are then presented to the
state highway commissioner for APP
prevail Upon their return by the state
commissioner to the county officers,
they proceed to advertise for proposals
to build the road. When the contracts
are let, a copy Of each contract must be
filed with the state commissioner, who
thereupon appoints a supervisor Of
construction, upon the recommendation
of the property holders who have petit
toned for the Improvement. This SUI
yervisor must give his whole time to
the work, and see that the conditions of
the specifications and contract are
carried out
Under this state aid system, the cost
of improvements is divided between the
state, the county and the adjoining
property, the state paying one third,
the owners of the property adjoining
the Improvement paying one tenth, and
the county paying the remainder.
The bill introduced in the New York
legislature by Senator Higbie provides
for a similar state aid system of road
building, except that the proportion Of
the expense borne by the state is raised
to one halt the total cost. This bill is
the result of numerous conferences be-
tween Isaac B. Potter, of the League Of
American Wheelmen and representa-
tives of the various farmers organiza-
lions ia New York state, and will have
the generous support of both farmers
and Wheelmen,
This system of building improved
roads is highly popular because no
work is undertaken except upon the
petition of those to be benefited. At the
same time, the cost of the Improvement
is not required to be borne by the
farmers, and those of them whose land
borders upon the road where the work
is done are required to pay only small
share of its cost. The rest Of the ex-
pense is shared by city and country
property holders, because county taxes
are assessed in the cities as we'll as in
the country, and because state taxes
are shared by every one in the state,
according to the amount of property he
owns, including the wealthy manufac-
turers, railway and insurance compan-
les. AS most of the wealth Of the state
is to be found in the cities, the New
Jersey system successfully bring about
the construction of improved gravel or
stone roads without laying their entire

WILL NOT CALL A MEETING.
President Brown Declines to Head the
Citizens Meeting.

Citizens Meeting.
No meeting of the Kenosha Business
Mems association will be called for the
purpose of discussing the electric road
project. At least, none win be called
with the consent of the president c. G.
Brown He has so decided and notified
this paper The announcement of this
fact is a surprise to many of our bust
ness men who are anxious that such
meeting should be held and at as early
a date as possible. This matter Of the
electric road is one which has very
important bearing on the city. The
company is here and knocking at our
doors and a large number of our bust
ness men have signified a desire To
have a meeting called for the purpose
Of discussing the matter and the Bush
ness Mems association was considered
by them as the best medium 10y which
to bring such a meeting about.
President Brown, however, says that
he fears that the small property holders
would not feel free to attend such
meeting, under such auspices, nor to
express themselves and he thereupon
decided against such meeting. He
wants to see a meeting called entire J
as a citizens meeting and under no
auspices.
The decision of Mr.. Brown caused
some little discussion this morning in
business circles. Whether citizens
meeting will be called is not known.
No steps have been taken as yet look

THE STATE SHOOT
High Wind Blowing But Many Birds
Are Killed

SAN FRANCISCO, May 21-The state
pigeon shooting tournament given under
the auspices Of the Olympic Gun club
was opened today at Ingleside and will
continue tomorrow and Sunday. The
attendance was large and representa-
tive of the best shooting talent in the
state. A high wind blew across the
grounds and contributed to make fast
birds and difficult shooting. Despite
that fact the scores were remarkably
good SO good, in fact, that the man who
lost bird was never seriously in the
race for glory and money.
The best shooting of the day was done
by David Winders of Stockton, who kill
ed In the program events thirty-four
birds straight before scoring a miss.
The miss was in the last event of the day.
In all the other events Winders shared
in the division of first money.
Chick of San Diego was but little be-
hind Winders in shooting quality. The
southern champion also lost but one
bird and had the advantage Of Winders
in that he shared in the money division

intensely that the expedition returned to
the south, and the hero landed on the
leland of San Miguel, where he died and
was buried.
The name of Cabrillo Is thus very
closely identified with many of the most
prominent localities in Southern Cali
fornia. He was the first European to
touch the shores Of what is now the
state of California No monument has
ever been erected to his memory. Is he
not worthy of one? How can his name
be better perpetuated than by comforting
1t on grand inter-urban boulevard,
forming a delightful driveway between
the two beautiful cities of Los Angeles
and Pasadena?
The official name might be "Via Ca
brillo" pronounced Vee-ah Cah-bril-
yo), meaning the Cabrilio highway; or
it might be named "Cabrillo boule-
ward" which title would be popularity
shortened to THE Cabrllo." Thus when
a party about to take drive should ask
Where shall we go?" the answer would
be: Let US take the Cabrillo to Pasa-
dena," and the new name would form
a very excellent substitute for boule-
ward.
But there will be another good effect
arising from the adoption of the proposed
name. Having a historical import il
will be an educational factor in the
community. The teachers and pupils
in the public schools will learn something
of the early history Of California dating
back more than two centuries prior tC
the revolutionary war, placing South
ern California among the Oldest as wei
as the newest communities in the sister.
hood of states.
Visitors and tourists from the east will
inquire what Cabrillo means, and the
ans'wer will awaken renewed interest ir

tanning to this coast, and it will give
para graphers for local and eastern pa
pers fresh material for their correspond
