ROAD ovERsEERs.
Meet in Mexico-Discuss the Con-
crete Culvert.

Curtis b. Hill, State Highway
Engineer was to have made an
address in Mexico last Saturday
but could not be here. However
road overseers were here from
many parts of the county and all
joined in a public meeting held
in the grand jury room. Mem
bers of the County Court presided.
Concrete culverts for the
county was one of the matters
discussed. There are between
$500 and 1900 culberts in the
county and how to keep them in
repair is one of the great quzzles
that meet every road overseer. A
concrete culvert would settle the
question forever-no more repairs
would ever be needed.
Judge Sutton said the county
court would favor concrete cul-
verts, but there is not sufficient
revenue to meet the expense.
Andy Talbot, who has built a
number of concrete culverts in
the neighborhood Of Laddonia,
stated that each culvert would
cost about $40. He thought the
cost a most satisfactory invest
ment. j. X. Scott, also of near
Laddonia, stated that he had a
number of concrete culverts in
his district and that the people
are highly pleased with them.
f. II. Naysmith, of Vandalia.
wanted good eulverts and good
roads in order, he said, that we
may keep the rural mail routes.
Il. II. Carter, County Clerk,
favored permanent improvements.
He thought if the work could not
be done well it should not be
done at all. He said there were
1900 miles of public roads in
this county and there is but &c, 600
yearly to keep the roads and the
culverts in repair.
Judge Alex Carter stated that
over one half the expense of the
road work was on the repairing
of culverts. The County Court
would install concrete culverts
as soon as the finances would al
low.
l.. L. Winans, county surveyor.
strongly favored concrete culvcrts
and concrete floors for creek
bridges.
Judge Cook Groves earnestly
favored permanent road improve
ment. He deplored the fact that
the county court cannot give the
overseers more financial assist
ance.
The overseers were the guests
for dinner at Hotel Hoxsey with
County Highway Engineer Wake
field.

fairbanks SPEAKS
At LARGE DINNER

About three hundred guests sat down
to an elegant dinner at the Hawaiian
Hotel last night, afterward listening to
an eloquent address by former VICE
President Fairbanks. 1t was the last
meeting of the Mems League of Cen
tral Union church and designated Ia
dies night, so that there was large
admixture of the fair sex present. For
mer Governor George r Carter pre-
sided at the table of honor, placed
across the head of the dining room,
with Mr.. and Mrs. Fairbanks, Mrs.
Timmons and Governor and Mrs Frear
disposed on either side of him. Back
of them the American and Hawaiian
flags were draped upon the wall Ma
tive musicians sang and played at in
tervals.
Governor Carter introduced Mr..
Fairbanks in a humorous speech, the
central idea being that Honolulu was
the pivot on which the world turned.
Mr.. Fairbanks spoke with great APP
preciaC1on of the hospitality his wife,
daughter and himself had enjoyed in
continuous round since their arrival
few weeks ago. The beauties of
scenery, the majesty of volcanic pheno-
mena, the cordial welcome wherever
they had gone, were all touched upon.
He spoke in high terms of the institu-
tioIial work of Central Union church,
Of DR.. Scudder its pastor and of the
Mems League. While church and
state should always be kept separate
in America, the church would continue
to be the foundation stone of the state,
each being hospitable to the other. Mr..
Fairbanks made a string appeal for
clean politics and government Re-
ferring to Mr.. Carter's assurance OF
racial harmony in Hawaii and the OPP
portunity here obtaining for spread
ing the principles of true civilization
among many nationalities, the speaker
showed how, while other nations were
working out their own peculiar civil
cations, the United States was taking
of the best hoods of ali and blending
them into a new civilization different
from all but destined to be best of all.
He was frequently interrupted with
hearty applause. In conclusion he
limited strongly of returning at some
future time and babe the Hawaiians
everywhere farewell
Immediately after his address Mr..
Fairbanks and party went out TO the
front lanai where they shook hands
with the people going out, dropping a
friendly greeting to each and all
