City Health Department has more duties than formerly and requires
a larger expenditure. In larger ways the city ministers to newly
developed needs, such as the improvement OF its water front, the
publication of the Passaic, the paving of streets and construc-
ton OF sewers. There is a never ending expense and an always

and it served to assure the retention in the tariff bill of the higher
rates which the Senate had voted. If the corporation tax and

cost of living higher in the prices OF necessares controlled by the

OBJECT LESSON ROAD.

The town authorities realizing
that Brandon needed better streets
and roads determined to make an
intelligent effort to have them.
Some time ago when the determine
ton was made the services OF Sena-
tor McLanrin were enlisted to secure
government assistance, which resulted
in Mr.. J. H. Dodge, a national road
expert, being sent here.
In the meantime $4,000 of 6 per
cent municipal bonds had been sold
at a premium and the money, or VIVA
ever amount of it was necessary, was
on hand to do the work with.
Upon investigation of the soil here
Mr.. Dodge recommended sand and
clay road from the town to the de-
pot.
He brought samples made of sand
and clay, mixed in proper proportion
which were as hard as rock and as
heavy as sandstone.
The roadway will be 40 feet wide,
with a ditch onIboth edges, the drive
way in the center to be Is feet, with
space between filled in and packed
down to the ditch. The road will
slope from the middle to the drain
will hold up over 10 tons of weight

and clay mixed will be applied inch
es thick in the center and about in
ches at the outer edges.
During the building of it the News

Brandon, invites road overseers and
others interested i'm better high ways
to come to Brandon to see the work
being done, which will commence as
soon as a government civil engineer
arrives, whom Mr.. Hodges wired for
on Monday on his arrival here.
The split log drag that has been
found such a Serviceable road i'm

struetion of this model road and

the far.famed star that hsvered over
the 1owly manager at Bethlehem
when the Savior was born.

500 years, and not the planet Mars.
