eral travelling public should also be
considered. The size of the town. the
length and number Of the streets, and
the manner in which these are kept in
repair. together with the area Of its
boundaries, which in many cases take
in several farms that will in all prob
ability not be built up for many years
to come should also enter into the
question. The farmer who wishes to
get away from the old pump and the
oil lamp into a better and somewhat
more luxurious mode of living has to
pay for il in the shape of modern ap-
pliances and pay to the road bed be-
sides. In towns where such luxuries,
to a certain extent, are procured
through a corporation and probably at
a lower cost, it does not seem just
nor equitable that the residents there
of should be allowed a rebate of the
road taxes in their favor. This ap-
plies more particularly to the small
towns or villages whose main street
is merely the continuation of the
country road, and whose side streets
are not improved nor apt to be so for
a generation.
The size of towns being only rela-
tive at best, each one claiming that
the other is only little larger than
it. and yet is incorporated, it is hard
to draw the line where IL is proper
and just that one should be incor-
porated and the other not Towns
that are small and whose business
and other teams use the country
roads as much as. If not more than,
the farmers should have no exemp-
ton; but in large towns where there
is generally quite a resident portion
of the population who do not use the
public roads, the question can prop
erly enter just what portion of the
road tax should be rebated in their
favor This could be done either by
stated allowance to them from the
general road tax fund or by a certain
amount being paid in by them to this
fund. This could probably be ar
ranged by an agreement allowing a
certain amount to each town, the
amount to be based on a percentage
according to the size and importance
of the town.
MANY OF our small towns which
are now incorporated undoubtedly
should contribute something towards
the maintenance of the adjacent
country roads, but are enabled to
evade this through legislative action. 3"

STEAMBOAT TO CAPE NAY.
Service Will be Established when
Harbor Is Completed.


The re-establishment of steam
boat service between Philadelphia.
Chester, Wilmington and Cape May
is said to merely await the completion
of the harbor at Cape May With the
entrance ietties partially completed
and before any dredging has heen
done within the entrance, a depth OF
10 feet at low water has been secured
and this is sufficient to make entrance
into the harbor feasible at any hour
and at any tide by steamers of con-
siderable size. The depth which will
be attained according TO the calcula-
tions of engineers is twenty-five feet
az low water, and when contemplated
extensions of jetties after completion
of the present contract a more dis
tant and deeper channel will be
reached and still greater depth be se-
cured. This will mean an open harbor
and port all the year round.

Mr. Joyce is enthusiastic about the per-

of this truck. We had no intention Of max

There was absolutely no chance Of groom

IL IN the most perfect condition possible
II was taken exactly as the truck stood in
the garage with this short notice and sent
away with no overhauling save the most
cursory examination.
Il believe that when manufacturers Of
automobiles attempt a similar test they
prepare FOR II by thorough examination

ably not have chosen the middle Of winter
