Will Pave Country Road.

Perry, May Especial: The Perry
Comemrcial club Saturday secured
what will probably be the first coun-
try road paving in this part of the
state. when the delegation sent 10
Abel to consult with the board of SUI
pervisors, secured the promise of that
organization to assist with the work.
For many years one of the worst
stretches of road leading into the city
has been the Sand Hill road, just
west of town. Hundreds of dollars
have been spent annually in an effort
TO make it passable, but the improve
ments have only been temporary, and
the Commercial club determined to
fix il to last for many years. Plans
were made for paving the road for
a distance of almost a mile, and the
supervisors agree to furnish $4,000
toward paying for the improvement.
The rest of the money will be donat-
ed by the club and the township. A
concrete paving, sixteen feet wide,
will be constructed through the cen.
ter of the road with gravel on each
side. II will cost in the neighbOrhood
OF $4,000 to build it.

INSURANCE PROBE
TO Be STATEWIDE
Iowa Grand Jury Investigation Only
Beginning Of Inquiry.
REPORT To BE MADE NEXT WEEK
County Attorney Being Assisted by
Assistant Attorney General samp-
son Who is Furnishing Much
OF the Information.

Iowa City, Ia, May 6.-Special 1t
is learned here through semi-official
sources that the insurance probe now
being conducted by the Johnson coun-
ty grand Jury is but the start of an
Investigation OF alleged risk rate
combinations throughout Iowa. AL
so, that Iowa City has earned the rep,
utation, through the Investigations
carried on for the past two months
by state officials, of being the lOca-
tiOn of one of the best developed sys-
TENS of fire insurance rate combines
to be found anywhere in Iowa.
The sessions of the grand jury,
which opened Thursday morning, were
continued throughout Friday and
Saturday, and report is not expect
ed before some time this week. 1t
is confidently believed that several in
dictments will be returned owing to
the earnestness with which the probe
has been started and the care with
which county and state officials are
bringing witnesses before the jury.
ao5lSIdul AllolhCs
son of Des Moines arrived in Iowa
City early Thursday and has remained
here since, having been called before
the grand jury several times to tell
what he discovered in his investiga-
tions carried on here about month
ago. The investigation was entirely
unexpected here and fell with consid.
cradle suddenness upon those inyoly-
ed. A special call of the jury was re-
quested last Monday but no intima-
ton of the nature of the business to
be considered was given out. Satur-
day +. J. Cochran and Joseph J. Muir
ply were called before the jury to-
gether with Gus Doerfier of Cedar
Rapids, secretary of the Acme Fire
Insurance company, and several other
out .of.tOwn insurance men.
Those interested in the investiga-
had been discovered, which exists
throughout the state, and upon which
war has been declared. The recent
investigations conducted at Ottumwa
are being recalled and other towns,
il is limited, will be probed as soon as
the report is made of the work at
Iowa City. County Attorney Hart
will act for the state here, but IL Is
understood that much of the informa-
ton which is being laid before the
grand jury is that discovered by As.
sistant Attorney. General Sampson
durinv his stay in Iowa City one
month ago.
