THE PROBLEM OF ROADS
Preparation Being ed to Pre-
vent Dust in Long Island.

Among many problems encountered by
the real estate developer in making mod
ern home sites out of farm lands, roads
have perhaps given the greatest trouble
The wholesale way in which this business
has been and is being done in and about
New York has caused to be devised many
methods of street making, which have re-
suited in bringing down to science what
a few years ago was the developers prin-
cipal difficulty.
In Queens, where the greatest amount of
home development out of farm land has
been done, there are several progressive
developers who have made of a coal
tar preparation. the success of which has
attracted the attention of the city authorl-
ties, and IS now being used by the high
way departments on the principal dirt
roads wl'hin the city. Only week ago ten
thousand barrels of the preparation, which
IS called TarVia, We're delivered TO the
BrOoklyn Highway Department
4 mile stretch of road treated with this
preparation can be seen at Broadway
Flushing. Two years ago the Rickert-tIn
lay Realty Company had Broadway, front
ing on its large home development, treated
from 18th to 32d street, and although traffic
has been heavy, only a few spots had TO
be overhaued within that time. The cost
square foot This company probably
the first TO make of this method of road
surfacing in the Long Island suburbs, and
has since treated the roads In its Kensing-
ton property at Great Neck. Others have
adopted the system.

FIX THEIR OWN TERMS.
New Indeterminate ESen-
tence Law To Take Eff
feet June IA.

After June IA the juries of Ken.
lucky will not be called upon to fix
the term of punishment and the
only thing they will have to consider
will be the guilt or innocence Of the
prisoner. The judge will impose the
indeterminate sentence from the
lowest to the highest penalty provid
ed by law. The time served will de-
pend on the action of the convict
while in prison. He cannot be parol
ed Until he has served the lowest
term allowed by law, nor keep in
prison longer than the greatest
term. 1t is in effect in many states
and works we'll wherever tried.
Indiana has the indeterminate SEN
tence law, and the courts, lawyers.
juries and people are highly pleased
with it, There is no doubt that il
will often prevent hung juries.
Sometimes a jury will agree as to
the guilt of the accused, and then
hang upon the time for which SEN
tenee shall be imposed.
Under the new law the person cor
victed will be sent to prison for an
indeterminate time, and tho time
the convict remains in the peniten-
tiary depends upon his own acts. If
he is obedient and complies with all
the prison regulations he is released
earlier, as good behavior reduces his
sentence.
The night rider trials in this coun-
ty will be held under this Law rext
summer,
