ed petitions asking for new franchis-
es for period of twenty-five years.
The discussion arose among the
members of the council as to the
length of time for which the franch-
es should be granted. 1t was thought
by some that twenty-five years was
too long period and hat it should
be reduced but it was finally decid-
ed to leave the time as stated in the
petitions. Then the question was
presented as to when the matter
should be presented to the voters OF
the city, at special election or at
| the general election. In each of the
petitions presented it was asked that
the question be presented at a spe.
cial election to be held on October
IA, 1910, the petitioning companies
standing the entire expense of the
election. A discussion then follow
ed as to whether or not separate spe
cial elections should be held fol
each company or both questions sub
mitted at the same election. Tht
representatives of the Mancheste
Light, Heat & Power company ask
ed that a special elecion be held TO

THE HAWkEYE HIGHWAY FROM
RIVER TO RIVER.

The committee recently appointed
by Mayor Long to investigate the
present condition of the main high
way through Delaware county from
east to west, passing through Earl
vile, Manchester and Masonville,
made trip Monday forenoon in DR..
Eradley's Ford machine, covering the
line between Manchester and Dyers-
Vile. A considerable portion of the
road embraced in such trip is fairly
good, but with the exception of about
five miles from Dyersville west to the
Summit, there is little of this long
stretch of about twenty miles of road
but what could be improved and with
little expense. There are number
of sandy places of only few feet
in length that with proper covering
of clay or gravel could be made not
only passable, but smooth and good
Within easy reach of nearly if not
quite all of these sandy places are
beds of gravel or clay that with little
expense can be utilized in the making
of an excellent highway.
Some of our friends have conceived
the idea that this contemplated public
highway through the state from Du-
buque to Sioux City will necessitate
another burden in the way of a tax.
This is not the case. The Hawkeye
Highway is to be constructed by vol
untary work from farmers adjacent or
tributary thereto. and by voluntary
contributions from town residents.
The construction of public highways
is attracting attention everywhere
and Iowa, with all of its other ad-
vantages, should not be satisfied with
its present roads. This has been an
excellent season for country roads,
and yet there are today miles of
roads in Delaware county over which
a pair of horses cannot draw full
load. In many localities the King
drag has been in use for two or three
years. In every case the results have
been the same, and farmers who have
operated these drags claim it is not a
hardship and only requires little
determination and few hours work
after each rain, which is more than
offset by the comfort and conven-
ience OF a good road.
The road between Earlville and the
crossing of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railroad needs a good deal
of work. In some places the sand is
deep; in others the road should be
rounded in the center and the gravel
of which there is such an abundance
in that territory should be twenty in
stead of six or eight feet wide. This
should be rolled so that the teams
will, use the center instead of thu
sides of the road. The hills betweel
the C. NJ. & st. P. R. r. crossing ant
the Neiman place can with little wor
be greatly improved.
The committee will make its repor
in the near future, and feels full.
warranted in stating that the citizen
OF Delaware county are Just as patr
otic and as much alive to their ow,
interests as the citizens of othe
counties. AS soon as we are advise
what is expected OF us, both the cit
zens of the towns and the farmer
who will be benefited will co-operat
together in making the Hawkey
Highway through Delaware count
one of which none of us will b
ashamed.
