" s. Payne, NJ. D.. of Woodbine,
has hit upon novel plan to produce
the proper impression upon tnose IN
charge OF road work to induce them 10

has a car capable OF running sixty
miles an hour and he extends an invf-
tation thru the local papers to the de-

SQUARE edge Of a bridge approach at
high speed he will be able to make the
necessary impression to secure better
work on the bridge approaches In the
future.
