DON'T DRIVE US
 ID COMMIT CRIME'
SHADY GROVE RESIDENTS DE- CLARE WAR TO HILT IN MAT
 TER OF GARBAGE PLANT.
Say That They Will Not Tolerate Establishment of Plant South of the City and Issue An
 Ultmatum.

Don't drive us to commit crime. Don't force this thing upon us."
 That was the last plea and yelled threat made by the Shady Grove Protective Association last night to the city council in the matter of the placing of the contract for a city garbage reduction plant on the pest house properly south of the city.
 Inc council has already entered into a contract for an absolutely san itary garbage reduction plant, with guarantees satisfactory to the admin istration, but the Shady Grove resi- idents do not believe in guarantees that makes garbage reduction other than nuisance, and they declare the plant shall not be installed.
 Just about the time J. R. Hayden as spokesman for the association, was stating that once he shot a man, and that several had been shot at and missed. and tlat some buildings had been burned, Alderman horner arose to a point of order and wanted to know from MT. Hayden if the good citizens of Shady Grove really antlci- pated outlawry as a final method of prohibiting the plant.
 MT. Hayden's answer was an im- passioned plea not to make these people protect Their homes with the force that human nature might sug- gest.
 MT. McCulloeh had just made q strong plea in behalf of the Shady Grove Association. He voiced the people of that district when he stated that they had already become burdened with the common nuisances of the city through the sewer outlet and the filthy Hot Springs creek, and that while the past had been born 3 H in silence, and patience. further Dur- < dens would not he tolerated.

 enforce a nuisance against them, ant that they would themselves be frs to lelp in abating a nuisance, ant
 thai after a trial. if line garbage re ldGction plant was in any form hui sance, it would be stopped. This was not assuring however
 The people evidently believe tha

 to use every possible means to pre-
 vent it's establishment. Just how
 far they will go in the matter is tC be determined in the future. It is not a small dispute, this, be

 the garbage contractors, with the city council sitting between. The asso- ciation presented it's last plea to the council last night, and as the counci had already made its contract, ther;
 was nothing for q to do but assure the association that it would be friendly to the association if their in terests were jeopardized.

K. U. to Aid in Road Work.

The movement for bette- roads in
Kansas is receiving an added stimulus
from the university where extensive
laboratory experiments are being
made with the different road ma
terials and modes of construction.
Frank Josie and Harley Burger,
seniors in. the school of engineering
are making the tests under the d1-
rection of Prof. B. ]. Dalton Prof.
Dalton has made a special study of
the road building problem for num-
Der of years. Both young men have
inspected numerous roadways being
built in Eastern Kansas. They believe
that in most instances too much ma
terial is being used From their tests
they have demonstrated that four
inches of foundation material makes
the best bed. In several counties the
contracts called for u inches. This
extra amount, they believe, could we'll
be utilized in adding to the total mile
age of improved county roads in these
counties.
