Marshalltown, Iowa. Aug. 1s.-A school fight
in LIE Grand township, which has been in prog
ress for some time, has reached the Injunction
stage.
Nine taxpayers Of the township, believing the
school board intends to levy tax to raise $500
with which to build schoolhouse in district No.
2, and are about to transfer to the teachers
fund 5000 set aside for building and repairs,
have filed petition in the district court asking
that restraining order be issued.
1t is contended the proposed action is illegal
because SO formal notice was given of the pro-
posed action before the school meeting which
granted the board the right to act.
All the farmers in the neighborhood are In.
terested and are ready to spend much more than
the amount involved to win their point.
Suit has been commenced against the city Of
Marshalltown by Ely g. Dunn, contractors, to
colIectopay for paving South First avenue. The
amount asked is about $4,000. The city refuses
to pay, contending that the work was not done
properly and that it was compelled to take up
asd relay the brick at cost of $1,000, which
it wants paid by the contractors before the
paving certificates are surrendered.

"a large number of new roads have
been constructed during the past year,
the most important improvements be-
ing the relocations of certain portions
of the main belt roads on the various
islands.
I'm the districts of Hamakua and
North Hilo, the construction of roads
on light grades has been found very
difficult owing to the great number of
sulches between Honokaa and Eilo."
Grades in gulches have been reduc-
ed to a maximum of about six per
cent. Mr.. Holloway recommends am
pie drainage and rock top-dressing in
wet districts, also suggests the use OF
oil to prevent the washing of roads.

of the main belt road in the Nahiku
and Keanae districts is about complet-
