Abram b. Whistler, whose home

death by bees early on Monday

swarmed on Sunday and went to
a woods about mile from his

companled by boy, he drove to
the woods, got them into box
and started to drive home with
them. On the road the bees es.
capped from the box and attacked
him, stinglng HIM so badly that
he expired in the road, his body
falling beside the wagon. Mr..
Whistler walked behind the wag-

ROAD LAW EXPLAINED.
Questions Answered That Have Been Civ
ing Supervisors Lots of Concern.
ATTORNEY GENERAL MAKES IT PLAIN.

Attorney General carson DelnS
requested to explain provisions
of the new road law has given out
lhc following
Taxable means, capable of be-
ing taxed; liable by law to the as
sess ment OF taxes. This means
that a woman owning property
must be assessed the dollar pro.
vlded iii the Act and every estate
assessed as an estate must be
charged the dollar. The dollar is
assessed against the property
and must be paid by the Lon-resi
dent as we'll as the resident own
er.
A single woman not real es-
tate or personal property owner
cannot be assessed the dollar;
she is not a taxable.
The tax of one dollar is to be
paid in cash and not worked out.
The treasurer appointed by the
supervisors is autltled to a com
pensatlon on money received and
distributed by him. This does
not mean, if he receives $1,000
that he is to be paid a percentage
on the $4,000 when he receives
and on the same amount when he
pays 1t out. He is entitled to the
percentage once only. He can
receive no percentage on the work
| tax.
The secretary of the board can
and should receive compensation
for his services, the amount to be
fixed by the supervisors.
A mem Der of the board Of su-
pervisors must not furnish sup
plies of any kind to the beard OF
articles that are to be used in the
improvement of the roads.
Any supervisor can work out
his taxes, where the work tax
system is in force.
The discount to be allowed on
the payment of taxes by June Isl
is only to be allowed on The cash
tax and not on the work tax.

A boom for au I'm IMMENSE cross.
state highway was launched at a
dinner, which was given by ySpeak-
er of the House Walton, at the
Union League, Philadelphia, last
Saturday. The project has been
enthuslas 5ically received. The
road will likely follow the old
turnpike from Philadelphia to
Pittsburg, passing through Nc
Clnnellsburg.
Governor Pennypacker was
among the diners and so were

Ohe subject, speaking especially
for Pittsburg and the Western
end of the State. The idea Is to
have e road not less than 100
feet vide, with special drives for
automobiles-both passenger and
freight-on either side.
The highway is designed for
the farmer and the tradesman
rather thSh TOR the pleasure seek
ing class. Governor Pennypack
er gave hearty endorsement with
additional promise Of his support
for any Legislation which may be
introduced next winter. Sena
tor Sproul, JOINT father, with
Senator Roberts, of the prevail
ing good roads law, spoke of the
practicabilitv of the idea and said
that 1t is extremely feasible
Highway Commissioners Hunter
and Senator Peurose also endors
ed 1T.
The estimated cost OF the road
is 50, 100000. Three-fourth o1
this would be paid by the state
under the law, and fourth Of
| the pro rata share by each of the
fourteen counties through which
the road would pass. Of this one
fourth the county would pay one
halt and each township would
have to pay it's pro rata share OF
the other one-half.
1t is proposed that meeting o1
the prominent citizens who are IN
terested together with the com
missione.s of each of the counties
affected, be held IN Harrisburg
shortly. Definite arrangements
are yet to be made.
The length of the road is to bt
297 miles, sixty miles shorter
than the Pennsylvania railroads
short route between Philadelphia
and Plttsburg. In addition tt
the main road it is projected tina
another be built at a later date
which will branch from the frs
one at Lancaster, strike the Sus
quehanna at Harrisburg, cross
the river at Rockville and contlnu,
to Plttsburg via huntingdon anC
Altoona. These two would thel
be. connected by a network o
