put into the retort, and this is part of
the process in making tutpentine.
According to the commissioner of

LINCOLN COUNTY is SPENDING
LARGE SUM FOR GOOD ROADS

Hon. c. Huick, mayor of Brookhav-
en- and Hon. H. Cassidy, chairman of
the Road Commission of Beat No. 1,
Lincoln county, are in the city today
Mr.. Cassidy states that Beat one,
that in which Brookhaven is situated,
is spending 100000 on good roads
and with this sum they are completing
81 miles of as good roads as can be
found in the state. Mr.. Huick says
when the question of a bond issue of
$l50,000 was up there was much op-
position, both in and out of Brook
haven, and at the election the bonds
were authorized by a bare majority.
When the amount was about spent
and the Board gave notice of it's inten-
tion to issue $4,000 additional bonds
to carry on the work, there was not a
voice raised against it.
Mr. Cassidy says that when it comes
to issuing bonds here to build roads,
opposition will doubtless arise, but
when as much as even four miles of
GOOD road is built and the people
can see what good roads mean, all
opposition will vanish. He related an
instance illustrating the effect of good
roads, saying, on one occasion a far.
