Visit Of Financial Man OF
Development Company
Who COnfGFS With Committee
Of Citizens Association
Relative To Raising Funds
For Preliminary Survey

Another effort Is being made to pro-
ject a traction line between Mt. Yer
non and Marion, but added to 1t is
an extensive line, embracing the con-
Meeting up also of Delaware and
Mansfield, and Mt. Gilead and Gallon.
This would make a very elaborate
traction layout, and would make a
system connecting up large section
of country that would be of vast bus
mess Importance.
On Wednesday morning Mr.. G.. H.
Carpenter of Cleveland, the financial
man of the General Traction Develop
ment company of Cleveland, accom-
panied by Messrs. A. A. Whitney and
C. d. Smiley, came over from Mt.
Gilead, passing along, as far as prac-
ticable, the proposed route between
this city and Mt. Gilead, and on their
way arranged for meetings during the
afternoon and evening at Frederick
town and Chesterville.
Upon arriving in Mt. Vernon a call
was made upon President Penn of the
Citizens association, and through
him meeting was arranged to be
held at 2 o'clock with the executive
committee of the association, at
which time the matter was fully pre-
sented by Mr.. Carpenter, who also,
as far as possible, went into details
concerning the project, and the result
of the conference will be presented
at meeting soon of the Citizens
association.
1t is proposed at this time by Mr.
Carpenter to have corps of engin.
GERS go over the routes between the
cities mentioned above and make a
complete report of the feasibility and
practicability of building the several
lines, embracing them in one operat
ing system.
To make this preliminary survey and
report an expense Of about $500
will be entailed, and it is proposed
that the cities most largely concerned
and interested in the plan subscribe
through its citizens, to the fund. The
division of the expense would amount
to about $500 to each of the cities re-
ferred to.
After the report of the engineers is
made, and should 1t be favorable, the
matter will be taken up by the Gener.
al Traction Development Co. with
Eastern capitalists with view of in
teresting them in financing the pro
posed system.

WILL DISCONTINUE
Rural Routes II Not Kept ln Good
Condition

The local postoffices have received
instructions from the postoffice de-
partment in Washington by which
they are directed to inform them
selves with reference to the condition
of roads and bridges on the rural
routes out from their offices, and If
they find that the roads require i'm
provement, the fact should be pre-
sented in the strongest and most
positive way to the patrons and
road officials, informing them that
improvements must be made as soon
as practicable. If, after reasonable
time has elapsed, the improvements
have not been made or started, the
postmaster will report the fact to
the postoffice department In order
that action may be taken looking to
the discontinuance of the service. 1t
is stated in the circular that "the de-
partment is not Immediately concern
ed in elaborate road improvements,
but in the interest of the best service
to the largest number of patrons 1T
must insist upon roads being kept In
good repair, the lack of which is
usually due to lack Of drainage, and
unsuitable grading and surface work,
which can be easily and cheaply ac-
complished by timely work and the
regular use of the split log drag or
similar device"
