NEW ENGINE 4 WONDER (Continued from First PaCe.)

With such a minimum of working parts there is nothing that can becom. out of order, as is the everyday happening with the engines commonly in use today, It's practcability, not Cnlv for use in auto mobiles, but for all similarly propelled yehicIcs, for electric lighting plautS, and for farming implements, Is assured. The invention also assures perfect engine for fire apparatus purposes to supplant the present steam engine system.
 The characteristic difference between the new engine and the ordinary two cycle motor Is that the former does nt obtain the primary compression for the charge from it's crankcase, being en tirely divorced from the same. The per lection of such a machine has been the constant aim and the height of am bition of all gas engine designers for many years past in fact, almost from the time of the discovery of the theory of the working of the internal com bustion gas engines. Tha departure from present practices, therefore, is con- sidered most radical.
 Tine advantages claimed for the engine besides being valveless are that it obtains its power producing element or impulse on every stroke of the piston {; operates with a minimum of parts has no dead centers; is practically turbine in its actions does not require Il tight crankcase has unlimited power, and there IS an economy of fuel aud saving in weight. The acme of design and c instruction Is shown in this valveless marvel. The inventor removed from the ordinary engine very many parts, so that his engine will operate with fewer parts by far than auY other en. zine on the market today. All the troublesome smaller parts of the ordi- nary motor. such as cams, levers, rods, reciprocating sleeves, springs, etc, have been eliminated and the resultant trouble necessarily eradicated, This feature is noteworthy and rebounds much to the inventive genius of the inventor
 It is known that there is plenty of capital behind the invention. aud It will be on the market very soon for use in automobiles, for fire apparatus aud for other purposes.

even one mile of good state road. There IS great expense that comes. and always will come, with the building of almost anv piece of road, in having to do so much work that state money can nor b. applied to. Alter all. in my opinion, there is no way so economical in applying state money as the onn we have uS,0, that k, the town taking the coutract, and think SO for these good and sufficient reasons: We should fully appreciate the fact that no contractor is going to build 5000 worth of road for $3, 600, neither is he going to take a con cost. No, he is going to add % per cent to the cost, and this will make it cost the town just that much more That is, the town would get about one.fifth more road for d given sum of money by build ing it ourselves. The one great fault with every contract we have undertaken from the beginning is, that we did not have a competent. reliable estimate of the cost, including all the grading, widening, straightening, walls, bridges, etc, and giving the exact cost of the proposed piece of road, and then submit it to the voters. Then we should have had one of the best of foremen to carry out the work, and then we should have approached the problem in something resembling a business-like way. No doubt good deal of money has been wasted by the careless, wasteful way we have pursued from the beginning, but as we go along. before we go much farther, we shall find out that our troub- les don't lie here altogether. The great cost of state road and the towns ability to pay the cost, is where the main diffl- culty has been, and will continue to be. If we had pald much of this road cost as we went along, we should be much more alive to this great cost of state roads than we are now.
 Another thing, state money is but an other way of hitting the taxpayer, so in effect he is being taxed again here. and the taxpayer has to stand behind all ex- penses of both town and state so there is limit to state moiiey, as we shall find all too soon. These arc more req sons why some think it high time to go slow.
 It was said in town meeting that the opponents had drummed out the voters. Now think the first vote. of about 8 for, to 40 against, was much nearer the true feeling of the taxpayers than the last frame.up and party-whip display. Taxpayers that are decidedly against the measure tell me they were com mpelled to vote for it, aud some that voted for 1t were not even citizens ot the United States.
 Only abont 90 per cent of the voters have voted yet, and good many that pay heavy tax would have attended and voted against it if they had thought there was danger of it being passed. Would it not be best to go a. little slow and have more of the taxpayers, pass up- on this question?
 Yours truly,

AGAINST THE VOTE
Continued from First rage.l

same threefourths basis, and they also know that the last state roau cost the town ten or twelve times this 'one fourth of the expense, " or in other words, the town had to pay some two or three times as much as the state paid: and the money the town paid on this one contract was about equal to the money the state paid on the three last contracts all put together.
 If we take a more comprehensive view of our state road history from the begin ming up to the last contract, and as meagre as the accounting has been, it is evident the town has spent more money than the state, probably twice as much, and yet men will stand up in town meet ing and deliberately make the statement that the town will have to pay only one fourth of the expense. Why do men do these strange things? Is there some nigger in the brush-something that has not appeared on the surface? It can hardly be the taxpayers welfare.
 The reason our roads cost so much, they say, is owing to the towns taking the contract, and is why we are dissatis. fled. This is as far from the truth as the rest of their statements.
 The town is now engaged in building several new steel bridges to meet the auto traffic safely, that will cost several thousand dollars, and, considering the towns hea\ y indebtedness aud the fact that the town cannot undertake this road building without increasing the tax rate or the town debt above it's present ex- travagant figure, we consider these req sons good and sufficient for not accepting state aid now. The state has enacted law that ill effect h about the same Us putting a conservator over an individual spendthrift' This law places the limit at per cent. of the grand list, that town can go ill debt. Do the taxpayers realize hoW near we are to that limit One job like. thu schoOlhouse or the last state aid contract would put us close tu or perhaps over the limit. The question confronts us right now: Is it right or best to let this extravagance push tho town right up to the limit? Is It not about time the taxpayers sat up and tool notice ?
 From the beginning the town seems to have been unfortunate. Instead of hay ing reliable estimate of the cost of every contract before undertaking it, we pitched ln blind, with lot of incompe. tents that had no experience and knew nothing of state road building. and cared less where the town came out and so it has continued to the last job, which cost the town ten or twelve times what it was claimed the towns amount would i be. This speaks volumes for the ability of our selectmen to take contracts for the taxpayers, and the worst of it is, cau't see any chance for betterment in the future. And this is another reason why we are afraid to let the bars down and 1 let the money loose to be wasted again.
 The towns enormous expense ill ap. plying the last munifcent gift of the taxpayers own money-called state aid was not the fault of the policy of the town taking the contract We have Dever fully realized the enormous cost of
