an increase in salary. To back their
request they cited the fact that the
increase in the cost of living is con-

salary which they are normally given
each year and that on top of this the
salary paid in Moline is less than in
some so other cities which are about

is a fact which has been SO we'll
demonstrated as to hardly require
argument at this enlightened time,
though it is unfortunately true
that in Louisiana we have very
few such demonstrations. The
macadam roads of Kentucky,
Tennessee and other states have
added to property values to an
extent equal to many times their
cost, in addition to which. by the
ease and comfort with which they
may be travelled, they have rem
