Road improvements.

The Muskingum river road from the
Township line has undergone some
very material improvements by order
of the county commissioners during
the past few weeks. The road has
been covered with gravel to a depth
of about Is inches; has been piped and
put in good condition for the bad
weather which winter inevitably
brings. This is certainly an expendi-
ture of the county's money which will
be appreciated by every one who ar
rives over the road this winter. 1t is
to be hoped that this wise utility of
money will be made on all the princi-
pal thoroughfares of the county, until
Washington county shall have lost its
reputation of having the worst
reads in the State. and gained instead
the rightful repute of having highways
which are open to traffic at any time
of the year.

SHIRT WAIST MAN IN CARS.


Formal Instructions TO Southern
Railway Conductors.
The man with the shirt waist is just
now causing railway officials serious
trouble. Some of the roads. according
to Louisville dispatch to the New
York sun, have requested him to put
on his cont or retire to the smoking
car but before taking any action the
Southern railway laid the matter be-
fore its attorneys, and the following
circular has been sent out relative
TO it:
ITO all passenger conductors: A lady
riding in one of our coaches took Of
tense at the presence of man who
insisted upon riding in the ladies' car
with his coat off. This matter was
submitted to cur legal department rs
to what the action of the conductor
should he under the circumstances. |
give below the opinion of our solicitor,
and you will be governed accordingly:
" 1 am sorry to note from your letter
of Aug. 20 that it is necessary to give
the question which is filling the news
papers as to the shirt waist man ser-
Gus consideration, for do not think it
deserving of formal rule of conduct.
This Is one of the cases where it seems
to me discretion must be left to the
conductor. So long rs a man is decent
ly dressed. whether he has coat on
or not, his appearance cannot be Of
fensive to any sensible person. and as
one of our objects is to provide for the
comfort of our passengers | do not see
why on purely academic grounds we
should object TO it. The conductor,
however, is the person to determine
this. Where he sees that a man by re.
moving his coat affects .an offensive
attitude he ought to suppress the man
promptly. But if no such offense is
given do not think that he should in
terfere.'"
