Hon.

WALK PETIT|ONED FILED
Property Owners Ask For Walks Under Recent improvement
 District Ordinance

Some time ago a petition was presented to the town council ask ing for the passage of an ordinance creating an improvment district for the purpose of putting in con- crete walks in Newark. The or dinance was passed and the mat ter left open for the action of the property owners. It required an- other petition representing a majority in value of the property owners in the proposed district before the matter could proceed further. This petition was present ed to the council at its meeting last Monday night, and contained the names of practically all the prop erty owners in town. Only a very few who had an opportunity to sign the petition refused, and there were a few to whom 1t was not presented because of a lack of time.
 When the petition was present ed to the council Monday night, up- on the nomination of Alderman R. R. Ration, Messrs. T. J. Raney, G. M. Fields and F. C. Hoyt were chosen as commissioners to pro- ceed with the work.
 The commissioners expect to have civil engineer come at once and go over the situation and make an estimate of the cost of the work. When this is done, ten year bonds will be issued in a suf- ficient amount to cover the cost of the work, and the work of put ting down the walks will then be- gin.
 The commissioners are compe- tent business men, and The Jour- nal beleives a better board could not have been selected to do the work.

PEARCE'S ATTITUDE

Former County Judge Cul. L. Pearce, of Sulphur Rock, who is a candidate for the office again, was in town Tuesday. A Journal r D. resentative called his attention to the article by C. M. Finn, publish ed last week in the Batesville Guard and which is reproduced elswhere in this issue of The Jour nal, and asked Judge Pearce if he would have anything to say in reply. Judge Pearce said:
 T do not admit the correctness or the truthfulness of a greater portion of the article. I feel that my acts were both right and prop CT, but 1 feel under no obligations to reply to one who Is not candi- date for county judge. If my op- ponent wants to come out in the open and make this, or anything else, an issue in this campaign, I shall be glad to discuss it on the stump, but not through the press. There seems to be quite a num- Der of politicians around the coun- ty seat who stand ready and will ing at all times to put themselves in the lead to work my defeat, but l shall ignore what they have to say because the people know them so we'll"

NEW PLAN FOR ROADS
Writer Suggests Board of Road Supervisors For Each Dis-
 trict to Direct Work

MT. Editor.-I have heard some very earnest talk about the road working, and being a taxpayer myself and having given the mat ter a little thought, hereby offer a remedy that l belive would bring satisfactory results. Create by law board of road directors for each road district. Elect one for one year, one for two year and one for three years at the school cleo tions. After the first election. elect one road director for a term of three years each year, at the various school dristricts in each township.
 Qualification of a road director should be that he has served for at least one year as school direc tor, and at the time of his election be serving as such. He shall be not less than forty nor more than sixty five years old, be able to read and write and cipher, shall not be any kin to the road overseer. either by blood or marriage, to the fourth degree. Within five days after each annual election, said road board shall organize by talk ing the proper oath of office, and by electing one of their members president, and one clerk of the board and said clerk shall also be clerk of some school district in said road District, and receive the same amount of pay as Road Dis trict Clerk but all other members of the road board shall serve with out pay.
 Duties of said board should be that they shall have complete con- troll of all expenditures of the road money, and manage all matters of business about the road, and have governing controll over the road overseer, and issue warrants on the county treasurer for all money drawn out of said road fund, and no road money shall be drawn out of the county trersury except up- on a warrant from the Road direc- tors. In other words, have board of directors to manage the matters, keep tab on overseer, and manage the business of the dis trict, similar to the way that school directors manage the affairs in school districts.
 This IS offered as suggestion, and other suggestions would be appreciated. This plan would not create any more officers, and the meeting of the road district board could be at the same of the meet ing of the school board.

THE COST OF MEAT.

This letter comes homo to the business
and stomach of everybody:
ITO the Editor of the Sun-Sir: In the
sunday Sun of August is was an extract
from the National Provisioner explaining
the high cost of meat. The cause is of
course, supply inadequate to the de-
mand. with the inevitable result, high
prices.
Now | am simple minded man in
the street with more or less profound
ignorance as to political economy. Hor-
ace Greeley used to say The way to re-
sumo is to resume. and | should say. the
way to overcome the deficiency in meat
is to increase the supply, instead of
which, do we not prevent that increase
by practically forbiddine foreign impor-
tations? | am not writing this for the
purpose of airing my crude views, but,
like thousands of others who would like
to know the truth, seek information.
why don't we increase our supplies
by putting cattle and meat on the free
list? What caused the repeal of the
corn laws in England some 50 or so years
ago was the actual starvation of the
people. Must We wait for such a calam-
ity before repeating the tariff on food
stuffs? The workineman has to buy food,
whatever else he goes without, and II he
has to spend about all his wages on pro-
visions he has nothing left to buy other
things, and that makes it bad for bust
ness in general. Cheap food is the very
essence of national prosperity.
Il shall be very glad if the Sun will
enlighten, not only me, but Its vast circle
of readers who look to it for accurate in
formation on matters that affect their
daily lives. FRANCIS GREY.
