The Strollers' have never been in
Hammond before, but they have been
heard by Hammond folks at Chau-

been given the high praise because
of their ability TO entertain mixed au-

South Broadway pavement than the
specifications called for: Bridge says
that the specifications did not call for
any particular quantity iof filler, but
merely required enough to fill the in
terstices between the "cobble" gravel.
Speaking of the relations of the
engineers office with the asphalt com
panies, Bridge says that he succeeded
in securing a price 33 1-s per cent
lower on Pioneer asphalt than any of
the other asphalt companies were will
ing to bid.
Bridge believes that what Is known
as the poured macadam is just as good
as the machine mixed macadam that
the Ahlborn company builds. He says
that the state of Ohio conducted a
series of experiments which showed
that the macadam made with the
asphalt poured over the pavement is a
success.
Tired of Controversy.
Bridge says that he is not particular
whether crushed stone or 'cobble" is
used on this road, and now that the
discussion about the desira bility or un-
desirability of cobble has waxed so
warm. he would just soon have
crushed stone used.
An effort to obtain Bridges view
of this matter was made for the rea-
son that his side of the controversy
has not yet been made public, and 1t
will give the people OF the county. a
better idea OF the problem if they are
able to view the matter from both
sides.

Senator Carter said last March:

"But must forego further pursuit of details.
The bill was cordially approved by Postmaster
General Meyer and his assistants, and likewise
has the approval of Postmaster General Hitch
cock It failed of passage during the last Con-
gress owing to lack of time for its proper con-
sideration but have reintroduced the BILL which
is now designated Senate 6287, Second Session.
Sixty-frst Congress. The Committee Post
offices and Postroads will favorably report the
bill to the Senate, and it should be enacted into
law before the close of this session. I believe
not only that it will increase efficiency. but that
after the expense of installation is absorbed, it
will result in such economies in the administra-
ton Of the department and service as will ere long
wipe out the deficiency. In operating under it
the department will be able with almost unerring
certainty to determine the actual cost of each
service performed, thereby reaching a sound
basis for legislation such as is neither available
nor obtainable under the present system
II deeply sympathize with the earnest de-
sire of the department officials to get rid of the
deficiency they are fated to encounter each year.
but I submit that the first real movement toward
that end must begin with the substitution of a
modern, up-to-date business organization for the
existing antiquated system, which rests upon a
few sections of the law enacted in 1885, supple
mented by statutory fragments added from time
to time since that year..

ed many years on that committee.
No three i'm the United States better

On February 8, 1911 the Senate Postoffice Com
mittee under the leadership of Senators Penrose and
Carter reported favorably to the Senate for action
the Postofice Appropriation BILL containing pro-
vision, put in without allowing public hearing or
open consideration, but under political pressure
from the White House, that increases the postage
rate magazines and periodicals to such an extent
that it practically absorbs all the profits of the pub
fishing business of the country and makes the further
production of popular priced magazines impossible
It imposes tax that is confscatory.
Notwithstanding, within the year Senator Boies
Penrose said, referring to the Carter Weeks bill:

bill. The whole intent is to systematic and to
modernize the entire postal system It is idle
to take up such questions apportioning the
