MAKING LAWS
Cumberland May Better
Delay.
WILL Be SAVING MONEY
Throughout the County There Have
Been Good Many Proper
ties Sold,

The Cumberland County Board of
Freholders should study carefully the
comprehensive laws for the permanent
improvement of public roads passed
by the recent legislature 1t is possi-
bic that the new legislation may prove
especially advantageous to Cumber-
land County.
As the Pioneer understands the new
road laws, the legislature has provided
a state road commission that will in
the future have complete charge OF
building what will be known as State
roads. The State Road Commissioner
will provide plans for a complete state
road system, and when these plans are
approved by the commission, the high
ways will be built. This state road
will cover the entire state, the object
being to connect all of the various
county seats with state roads. These
highways are to be built wholly at the
expense of the state and without coun-
i
in the good roads movement in this
section say that there will be some
thing like forty miles of such state
road in Cumberland County eventually
Again the new comprehensive road
legislation provides that heretofore
when Independent roads are perma-
nently improved by the counties with
State aid, the State will furnish forty
per cent. of the cost of Improvement
instead of thirty-three per cent. as
heretofore. This is an important aid
in addition to what was allowed here
tofore, and Cumberland County should
avail itself of this for its road work
Ii this view of the new road act is
correct, would it not be wise for Cum
berland County to abandon its project
ed work. and take it up another year
under the new conditions? There is
much to be said in favor of delay.
The State Road Department has thus
far been unable to pass upon the pro-
posed improvement of the Malaga
road from Landis avenue to Millville.
1t is not possible now that bids could
be advertised for and contracts au-
thorized before the June meeting of
the Board of Freeholders, if indeed the
enterprise is ready by that time. That
means the roadway could not be i'm
proved before fall and it seems little
could be gained by having the improve
ment available in the winter, when the
road would be practically useless any
way.
1t may be that by simply delaying
the proposed improvement until next
spring would not only not lose any
thing, but might save the county a
good deal of money in the additional
help secured under the new laws.
Another matter to again be taken
in consideration concerning independ-
ent State roads, is that there is not
likely to be any state money available
for road repairs, all of the automobile
money being devoted to the building
of the proposed state highway by the
State Road Commission.

The conferences which the bishop was to have held in cluded the Missouri conference. which meets at Shelbina, Mo, September 4, and the Denver conference, which meets in Pueblo, Colo.

 Bishop floss became ill in Nashville, Tenn, 10 days ago with facial paraly- sis. which resulted from severe cold. He also is suffering from general physical breakdown, according to Dr. Hoss.
