mr.. WINSLOW'S
HARD ROAD WORK
Government Expert Says Put
nam County Can Have Best
Roads in South.

The sample mile OF hard road which
continues for a mile toward Palatk;
from the Rice Creek bridge is now al
most completed and ready for the in
Spection of the people.
The News trusts that everybody ir
Palatka will make il point to visit this
road. They will get some new idea.
concerning road construction never be
fore dreamed of in Putnam county.
This sample mile of road was built un
der the supervision of Mr.. H. d. Wins
low, an expert road builder in the EN-
ploy of the agricultural department ol
the United States government, and his
services were donated to the Putnam
county bond trustees by the department
All he has cost the county has been
the expense of rig 10 drive to and
from the scene of road construction
operations.
Mr.. Winslow first grubs and cleans
the way of the road of all roots and
other distractions, leaving the bed as
clean as a new field ready for planting.
The material for hard surface construc.
ton is found in unlimited quantity neal
by and consists of clay. This clay
when spread and mixed with sand in the
right proportion, becomes, after rair
and when used, almost as hard as con
crete.
Mr.. Winslow has his road nearly
done, and he, an expert in hard road
building, familiar with materials in use
in all parts of the country, tells the
News that Putnam county can with this
material have as fine road as can be
found in the south. Mr.. Winslow esti.
mates that his road will not cost above
six dollars per annum, per mile, TO keep
in repair.
Mr.. ]. H. Wylie, who has the contract
for building the road from Francis TO
Keuka, spent two days with Mr.. Wins,
low this week and has familiarized
himself with the methods employed
He says that the tax payers of this coun-
ty will never have cause TO complain if
in future the roads are constructed from
foundation to finish on the plans of Mr..
WinSlow's object lesson road.
Some half dozen or more Palatka
business men went out TO the road on
Tuesday and made an inspection. 1t is
their unanimous opinion that the work
of Mr.. WinSlow will prove OF incalcula-
BILE benefit 10 the county, especially if
the roads to be built are constructed
upon the plans he has laid down in this
piece of object lesson road.

PUTNAM'S ROAD
SPECIFICATIONS
Commended by Government
Road Builder Winslow.

X. +. EnSey, county engineer in
charge of the hard road construction in
Putnam county has received the follow.
ing endorsement OF his types and SpeCi.
fications for road work in this county,
the same being in shape of letter 10
the county engineer, Mr.. WinSlow
says:
while am strong advocate of a
wider road than the county is building,
and believe in few years your traffic
will sustain my contention, wish to
commend the systematic way you are
handling the road problem.
"As understand, you purpose to fur
niSh bidders with profile and estimate
OF quantities in addition. You are GER
tainly placing Putnam county in the
lead for scientific, up-to-date road con-
Struction. Such a system is bound to
reduce the cost of roads bv defining the
work and rendering intelligent bids.
ut is the best system | have seen in
Florida and every progressive county
should secure a copy.
ut is one of the best in the entire
south and | desire copies for our files at
Washington, d. c.
1T would be well to charge nominal
sum for the specification as they will
certainly be in demand wherever they
are known.
"These specifications, if followed, are
bound to give the county good roads,
and the types or standards can be altered
to suit actual conditions.
ut is pleasure 10 realize Putnam
county is adopting business like methods
that has few equals in the south, and
will take pleasure in advising other
counties TO pattern after the high ideals
you have established. | have already
informed the authorities at Washington
the progressive move on roads your
bond trustees have taken. You may be
pleased to know ST. Lucie county will
adopt Putnam county methods on its
5000, 900 bond issue"

such an investigation unnecessary had
made no appointment. This committee
Of two proceeded to make the inveStiga-
ton and reported the result to the Coun.
Gil June 10Th, which was published In
the local papers.
The City Council passed an ordinance
on May 22d, 1908, authorizing the Bond
Trustees TO pave parts OF Front and Elev-
ent streets and these streets were paved
without any recommendation or estimate
of the cost on the part of the Bond TruS-

dinance Jan. l9th, 1909, authorizing the
Bond Trustees TO pave parts of River,

However, after the passage of the lat
ter ordinance, some one discovered the

some subluxation of the spine.
Women in a partially paralyzed con-

saving power Of his spine adjustments
in cases like these.
A case in point Is that of a lady
from q small town some miles from
Fargo. When she came to DR. New

band and daughter. they were obliged
to support her, as her paralyzed limbs
refused to carry her weight Doubtful
and suffering she came, after a num-
Der Of adjustments to go away with
as perfect use of her limbs as ever ia
her life.
1t is not necessary to enlarge upon
cases like this. The facts are SO pow
erful as advocates of Chiropractic as a
means OF removing disease that it is
only necessary to quote facts. Chiro-
