In fact the utter nonsense and mislead-
ing feature about this excuse that roads
cannot be built in winter is proven by
the fact that this is just the period when
farmers can best haul the stone and
gravel ana do the work as both teams and
men can then be best spared from the
farms.
1t is also a query very pertinent here to
ask-How are the four Republican mem
bers. who wish to proceed with road work

Buckson pays It all out in other bills

Jams today as he laid down several oil
specimens from Indian Springs and ex-
hibited the palm of his hand, which
was covered with crude petroleum and
looked as though he had been wiping

The specimens were Trenton line,
evidently from IA crushed zone along "A
fault line, partially cemented and con
solidated. The exterior was covered
with a half inch of asphalt, dry and
shiny like y~arnish, but which next to
the rock was soft and pliable, while
the rock itself was thoroughly impreg
mated with crude petroleum that ex-
uded from the interstices of the crush

asphalt and oil burned with a dense.

piled, so that the Office smelled like

IF Mr.. MacFarland fails in New York
