Good Roads.

The Good Roads meeting III Council
Chamber Thursday evening attracted a
considerable attendance of representa-
tive people, including the four County
Road Directors.
e. f. Pearce was elected chairman
and r. +. CLANCY secretary.
After the chairman had stated reasons
for call DR.. Z. Griffith, resident Road
Director, commented upon the rejection
of the bids for the two sections of State
highway near Frostburg, and upon the
traffic, which averages about l25 teams
daily. This, he believed, could be IN
creased to at least POO teams with good
National Pike to and beyond the Garrett
equity line. The people of Frostburg, he
thought, ought to try to get the sections
west built, and to this end urge active
cooperation by the many interested
Garrett-county people.
Messrs w. f. c.. Hitchins and G.. CT.
Townsend moved-"that the chairman
appoint IA Committee on Resolutions, the
paper to be in duplicate one copy to be
sent to the Governor the other to the
Chair man of the State Highway Com
mission and the motion was adopted.
Committee appointed as follows:
j. b. Oder w. L. g. Hitchins.
George Stern. Henry Mayer.
J. b, Shannon. ROberdeau Amman.
Henry Mayer, G.. G.. Townsend H. G.
Evans and DR.. Griffith continued the
discussion of the needs of the com
muuity and also ways and means to
secure what is needed.
On motion of ii. b. COlburn and Henry
Mayer, MesSrs. Howard Hitchins, j. b.
Shannon and Clayton Purnell were APP
pointed a committee on Agitation, and
later these same gentlemen We're named
as "A Finance committee.
Henry Mayer then asked for statement
from the County Road Directors.
DR. Griffith told why Frostburg had
not been given more of the Schumacher
road work. The Directors We're conf
dent that at least two miles of the State
highway would be built III Frostburg
territory and for that reason the county
board had thought advisable to build
Schumacher roads in other sections He
thought that if proper steps We're taken
that in the course of a few years good
roads would be built in all directions
from Frostburg.
The meeting adjourned, subject to
call of the chairman.

SWADA IS OEPOsED
Gary Policeman Quits Job
and Jenkins is Back
Again.

Officer Frank Swada of the Gary po-
lice force has been deposed by Chief
Martin and Louis Jenkins has donned
the Gary uniform for the second time
in his career. Swada, it is said was
released from further work on the
force because Of his activity along
lines not connected with police duty.
Chief Martin also said that Swada re-
fused to turn in his star after he was
released and that it was necessary
for him to send some one after it.
Jenkins, who will take the place of
Swada. IS considered an exceptionally
good man. He served on the local
force over year ago until he sudden
ly went out west on business. Jenkins
also held a high place in the estima-
ton OF Chief Martin and he is glad to
have him back on the force.
The two cripples on the force. Mar
quardt and Mulcahey. who have been
laid up for repairs. are now able to
be out and around, although they have
not gone back to work. Marquardt is
the officer who was beat up by sew
eral ruffians and in return shot and
killed Andy Ribar. one of his assail-
ants. Mulcahey has been on the sick
list for some time and for awhile his
condition was considered serious. He
is still under the care Of a physician
however, and viii not be able to get
back to work for some time.

USE BIG STICK
ON STAR BOARDER
"Hunky Dory" Club Boss
Uses Strenuous Means
to Collect Bill.

If you were board house boss and
you had a star boarder who in the
past had been the first one to place
his little tootsie wootsies under moth
ers table three times a day and who
suddenly left YOU one day owing you
an $500 board bill. what would you
do?
What alternative would you take?
Would you wait and give the court
a chance to give you satisfaction or
would you get a stout hickory club
and proceed to land on him? Ivan
Jambrusick decided that the latter
would be the better justice.
Who Ivan is.
Ivan is a boarding house boss and
conducts the hotel Hunky -dory on the,
corner of Madison street and Euclid

rived in East Chicago but a few min
utes later. hot on the trail.
Had Him Arrested.
Ivan then swore out a warrant for
Steve. charging him with beating a
board bill and Steve was brought back
to Gary In the meantime the thought
how the star boarder had filed one
page with figures on the debit side of
the ledger aroused his anger, and going
10 the shack where Steve was stopping
he told him that the courts of justice
were too slow Under his coat Ivan
carried a hickory cudgel and when he
could not use his fists to good advant-
age he tried the club. When Ivan was
through he felt that he had gotten
$500 worth and Steve-wen he looked
as if he had been in a Servian riot
To make a long story short, Steve
F, came to the police station last night
and swore out a warrant for the arrest
of Ivan. The trial OF the boarding
house boss will come up later and even
Ivan may have SI2.1O added to the
$500, but he considers the lesson
taught to all forgetful boarders well

Mr. Nassau was stunned temporarily

MANY SMALL AMOUNTS

Two Months Will Elapse Before Suits

That Collection of Levies Will Be
Hard Matter-Plenty of Real Es-
tate Dealers Ready to Bid for Land.

City Attorney l. l. Bomberger Will
begin suit at once on approximately
two hundred cases for the city of
Gary. The suits will be for the pur-
pose of collecting the assessments of
benefits levied against the property
owners in the matter of widening
Broadway south of the Pennsylvania
tracks.
The transcript of the case is con-
tanned in nearly two hundred pages
and the amount of money involved is
hard to estimate. 1t will be necessary.
however to get these cases disposed
of before the improvement of Broad
way can continue.
Many Small Amounts Involved.
AS most of the cases are of small
amounts. involving not more than a
few dollars, and some of them as small
as a dollar and a half, it is thought
by the city officials that the nonpay-
ment of the assessment is due to care
lessness rather than a shortage OF
funds If the judgments in the cases
are not paid their property will be put
on the market at once and disposed of.

real estate dealers in the city who are

started and pushed to completion. 1t
is not expected that the city attorney
