MRS. SARAH M. FARLIN

Mrs. Sarah NJ. FarlIn. widow OF the
late Charles d. Farlin, died Monday
afternoon in her home, No. 1886
Woodward-ave.. as the result of pneu-
monia with which she was stricken
last February. She never recovered
from the shock OF the disease and
within the last few days sank stead
lily. Had she lived until July % she
would have been IS years old.
Mrs. Farlin was born in Cambridge,

age came TO Detroit with her brother,
Samuel Pitts. who as lawyer lum-
herman and fnancier was closely con-
nected with the early history OF De-
troit. Her husband died 20 years ago,

lived a retired life, devoting her time
to charity and TO the chuxch. She

CITY FINISHES JOB;
MAKES MONEY, So
DOES CON TRACTOR
ODD PAVING DEAL WHERE BOTH
PARTIES REAP ADVANTAGE
EXPERT PROCTOR EXPLAINS
HOW 1T WORKS OUT.

A deal by which both the city and
the contractor make money is that In
which the department OF public works
took over the finishing OF repaving
work on Palmer-ave. from Cass to
Third, and on Canton-ave. from Cham
plain to Waterloo.
These contracts had been let to the
Cleveland Trinidad Paving Co, which
had the curb-setting and 'concreting
done by contract and was ready to go
ahead with the surfacing OF asphalt.
when the department decided 10 do
the remainder Of the repaving work
with the municipal plant. NJ. +. Bran
ley. OF the Cleveland company, then
declared he did not wish to bring his
asphalt equipment over for two Jobs
totalling only 10000 square yards.
The contract was let at $2.l7 per
square yard and concreting work al
ready done had cost 20 cents per
square yard. Commissioner Haarer
agreed to do the asphalt surfacing for
$ll0 per square yard. This leaves a
margin for the Cleveland Trinidad
Paving Co. OF 81 cents per square
yard.
1T Is true that the company makes
a profit" says Asphalt Expert Proctor
when asked about the deal They
figure, however. that the 10-year guar
antee is worth 20 cents per square
yard. That leaves them a net profit of
II cents only The city will make
about Is cents per square yard as 1t
will cost us about 80 cents per yard
on the average.
The reason we took the job under
those terms was that we had to have
work for the city asphalt plant to do.
We had got ahead Of the city concret-
ing gangs and would have had to lay
off for week or so. AS there are
many permanent men on the rolls who
could not be laid of without pay. this
would have meant heavy expense for
the city plant.
by taking this job from the con-
tractor, we keep our plant going and
the work Is done by Detroit labor in
stead of by men imported for the
time being The price Of $1.10 was
named because that Is the figure that
was made In bidding against the con-
tractors on other asphalt repaving
Jobs.
Il believe that the pavement we lay
will be SO good that the 10-year guar
antee will not cost them anywhere
near the 20 cents that the contractors
usually figure

nents out of ten is either pecuniary
or political But he will not find a
great deal Of unanimity in this oppo-
sition. Along with those who hold
that the new law will be the ruin OF
the country there are others who are
arguing just as strenuously that II Is
the beginning Of an era Of better
roads, and that If the people fail TO
give the law a fair and honest trial,
amending it In particulars where ex-
perience shows it to be weak, they
will miss the best opportunity they
have ever had to get good roads and
they will not have another such .op-
portunity for many years to come.
All of the candidates for supervi-
sor are talking the road question.
Some are talking it with persistent
earnestness and intelligence, trying TO
impress the people with what they
think should be done. Others are try
ing to get the ideas Of the people be-
fore expressing themselves. Alto
gether, however the subject Is getting
pretty thorough threshing, and the
educational value of the present cam
paign promises to be great
OF course there is some small poll
tics in evidence. BY small politics Is
meant the effort to stir up prejudlces
that have no bearing on the situation
other than to affect votes, the circu-
lation of false and misleading re-
ports, appeals to old time factional-
ism, etc. This kind Of work, however,
Is being INDUCED in principally by
those who have been making 1t a
practice for years and as they and
their methods are now pretty well
known, their influence does not count
for as much as it once did. The vo-
ters as a whole are wiser and more
discriminating than they have ever
been. They are more inclined to put
each individual on his merits, and
the man who Is most candid and non
est with them is on the surest road TO
their favor.

potatoes are large, smooth and alto

advertising seed for sale in another
column.
Prof. Neal A. Ransom, Of the Presby-
terial High School at Bethany is pur-
suing an energetic and persistent
campaign for a large school next
session, and he considers the outlook
most encouraging. All those who are
familiar with the work that was done
at Bethany last year are agreed that
it was of superior character, and
there is quite a general feeling that
Prof. Ransom is proving himself to be
the man for the place.
Speaking of congregational singing,
those interested in the subject should
have been at Smyrna last Saturday.
The choir was led by Mr. w. M. Stowe,
and he had among his assistants such
artists as Messrs. w. M. Faulkner, H.
M. Shillinglaw, John X. Allison, r. J.
w. Moss and others. Miss Ethel Nc
Gill was the organist. In the choir and
in the congregation were numerous
other we'll trained voices. All were fa-
miliar with the words and music and
the effect was grand.
We are still hearing people remark
that there is more upland corn in the
county than there has ever been and
its condition is fine. And this is in
deed a gratifying fact. 1t takes more
money to buy western corn than it
has taken for years. Our own corn Is
much better than anything that is
ever brought from the west; but
somehow we cannot sell it at western
prices. The thing, therefore, is to
raise our own corn, of which we cam
not well have too much.
Although there are five announced
candidates for the legislature, there is
a widespread feeling that there
should be at least three more. There
are many voters who do not like the
present prospect. They claim that
they cannot make out a ticket and
rather than undertake to select four
out of five, they will not vote at all.
There have been rumors of other
probable entries but up to this time,
The Enquirer has no definite infor-
nation. Just now it looks as If the
place is going practically by default.
The race is open to anybody who
wishes to enter, however, and if there
are not as many as eight in it, the
voters who desire it otherwise will
have only themselves to blame.
