Advertisement in Reference to
It Was Not Run as Re-
quired by Law.
MUST BE DONE AGAIN.
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP RESI-
DENTS WHO PETiTIONED FOR
THE ROAD, WILL BE GREATLY
DISAPPOINTED AS A RESULT.

Owing to a mistake in publication OF
the advertisement of the new road pc
titioned for by residents of Washing
ton township under the road law
passed by the last Legislature, the
board of county commissioners will
have to again go through all the pre-
liminary steps, as required by the law
before the road can be built.
The law requires that an advertise
ment for new road must be pub.
lished twice in a newspaper of general
circulation. This advertisement was
prepared, but through a mistake was
only published once within the re
quired limit Of time.
The petition for the new road in
Washington township was the first
one received by the commissioners
since the passage of the new road law
and as there is so much red tape con
nected with the new law the commits
sioners became badly entangled in its
complicated meSheS.
The Washington township residents
are very anxious to have the new
road built and the mistake in publ.ca
ton will be a big disappointment tc
them as it will involve the trouble o
preparing a new petition and the Other
preliminary steps required.

CANNOT ERECT SIGNS.
District Commissioners Have NJ
Money for the Purpose.

The Commissioners will not be able to
erect signs on the public thoroughfares
throughout the city as contemplated be-
cause of lack of an appropriation. They
have appreciated the necessity of such
signs as drive SLOW" keep to the right,
walk your horses, etc., particularly so
when a pedestrian meets with an accident
due to careless driving. Several months ago
at the suggestion of the superintendent of
police they asked for samples of signs of
various shapes and sizes and the superin-
tendent of police furnished a list of streets
and street intersections most in need of
posted instructions to drivers.
1t was decided to erect about 200 signs
but when the question of purchasing and
erecting the same was investigated il was
found that there was no appropriation for
paying the cost.
The Commissioners were about to aban-
don the project when William p. Emo of
1771 N street offered to furnish the signs
and erect them free of charge. The offer
could not be accepted because of the Dis
trict Code, which prohibits the acceptance
of volunteer service.
Commissioner West stated today that al
though the project is abandoned for the
present the Commissioners Will keep 1t in
mind and as soon as Congress meets an ap-
preparation for the purpose will be asked

The four congressional candidates are
travelling day and night in an effort to gain
the support of the electorate of the eighth
district. The primary occurs June 10, a
little more than three weeks off, and it Is
generally admitted the contest has been
practically free from any serious personal
abuse. 1t is said Alexandria county, which
two years ago polled 261 votes, will go into
the contest with more than 400 votes to her
credit. The friends of Judge Nicol are
claiming $50 of these, while the followers of
c. c. Carlin assert their man will carry the
almost every section this week INDICATE a
close race. Again the rumor has been in
circulation that one of the candidates will
retire before June 1, but this is not gener-
ally credited.
