At their annual town meeting, to be
held next Tuesday, South Dresden
township will take vote on the ques-
ton of whether or not they shall adopt
the plan of letting the road work of the
township by contract, as provided for
under one of the new laws of recent
session of the legislature. Quite a
number of the property owners in
South Dresden strongly favor the
adoption of the plan, realizing that for
the time and money expended better
results can be attained by letting the
work by contract than by the old plan.
The change is being made particularly
with the idea of seeing that such wealth
ly land owners as the railroads, tele-
graph companies and other monopolies
are made to put up at least one hun
dred cents on the dollar of what they are
taxed for road work. South Dresden
township is taking step the outcome

At recently held meeting of the
state board of health at Grand Forks it
was decided that after January l, 1905,
the teachers of the state must examine
the eyes of the pupils. The test will be
auniform one and whenever any case of
detective eyesight is discovered they
must at once be reported to the board
and to the parents SO the latter can have
the trouble remedied before it reaches
aserious stage. The plan has been I'M
der discussion for long time and is
generally endorsed by everyone, except
the teachers, who fear they will be ar
rested for examining eyes without a
license.
