This cause came on to be heard on the

PUBLIC ROADS LET OUT BY CONTRACT.

PUBLIC ROADS LET OUT BY CONTRACT.
At their meeting yesterday the
Board considered numerous bids for
working the public roads, and after
doing SO, awarded the contract for
working all first-class roads in the
county lying east of the Illinois Gen.
tral railroad to F. B. Smith, for the
Communication money and one-half of
the one mill tax levy annually for 4
years; and on the west side of the l. G.
railroad all the public roads we're let
to Evans & Williamson on the same
conditions. The Board also decided
to create the Office of road commits
sioner, whose duty it shall be to in
spect all roads and bridges of the
county, collect the communication mon
ey from all hands liable to road duty,
and make monthly reports to the
Board of Supervisors. G. T. Mont
gomery was elected commissioner by
the Board over number of competi-
tors and his salary fixed at $500 a year,
which is to be paid out of the road
fund, under the terms of the contract
m ade with Smith, Evans d Williamso n
There are SIS miles of public road in
the county and not exceeding 200
hands liable to road duty, and it is
estimated that the Communication mon
ey and one-mill tax will give the con-
tractors about $1,000 per mile: The
Board found, on examining the num-
erous bids filed for different roads,
that this was cheaper than the average
rate of such bids, and that it was
cheaper to let them out in two Jumps,
as it did. This was certainly busi
ness and common sense view to take
of it, and The LEADER thinks the
Board and the county are to be con-
graduated on reaching such salts
factory solution of the road question.
On the morning of the 10th day of

or no progress toward harvesting
either of them for Industrial u1es. OF
course. the effort has been made, over
and over again, and dare hay scores
of able men are wrestling with the
problem at this very moment, but
everything thus far suggested has
proven failure. The idea. Of utilizing
solar energy has generally taken the
form Of an engine in which the sun
does duty an = iirebox. A friend OF
mine at Washington tells me that over
y hundred patents have been taken
out on appliances .of that sort. They
are all more or less alike, the essential
feature being mirror or combination
OF mirrors which focus the suns rays
on = boiler of water. Some small
models have been made that worked
perfectly. but nothing on practical
scale has ever been devised. 1t goes
without saying that solar engine
can only make steam while the sun
shines. and consequently could not be
depended upon for steady work, but
the recent perfecting Of the storage
battery helps to remove that difncuity.
When the engine Is working 1t could
be used to operate q dynamo and the
current bottled up for future use. OF
course there would be a good deal OF
power lost in the transmission from
one form into another. but as long as
the fuel costs nothing at all. that would
be of no special consequence. When
the real solar engine is finally invent
ed. as 1t must be sooner or later, the
world will take some immense indus
trital strides. 1t would enormously
cheaper all manufactured products.
The same may be said of any practical
method Of Harvesting the waves. That

where the "bars" to be minted and
beer are kept present very tasty

$40 8. N. to 11;30 p. m. and during
those hours the, work never ceases.
