BACHELOR APARTMENTS WITH
TINY KITCHENS ARE ECONOMICAL
Small Suites Suited to Light Housekeeping for
Young Coupes-Economy in Living.

Bachelor apartments now are al
most without exception being built with
kitchens. TINY little rooms they are,

The New Road Law.

The last legislature passed law
to do away with the election of road
overseers in Kansas and someone
wrote to the attorney general about
it to find out how the thing stood.
Here's his reply:
Dear Sir: In reply to yours of
March 14th 1 beg leave to say that
the new road law has been published
and is now in force. BY it's provis-
ions the township board in each
township should meet, divide the
township into the proper number of
road districts and appoint road over
seers thereof. There is nothing in
the contention that road overseers
elected last fall cannot be legislat-
ed out of office, as all officers except
those fixed by the constitution, are
creatures of the legislature and may
be abolished at any time the legisla-
ture sees fit; and the persons holding
such Office has no right to the Office
to such an extent that the legislatures
cannot abolish the same.
Yours truly,
c. c. COLEMAN,
Attorney General.
