Highway Commission.
Des Moines. Sept. 15-The Great
to make highway crossings twenty
four feet wide for the county system
of roads and main Travelled township
roads. according to H. c. Beard, OF
Mount Ayr, a member Of the state
highway commission. He last week
was instructed by the commission to-
plying with the new rules OF the COM
mission. These rules require twenty
four foot crossings.
Mr.. Beard has written 70 all line
superintendents in Iowa. Here is a
sample Of what he has asked them to
do:
my Dear Sir: At our last regular
meeting Monday Of this week the Iowa
state highway commission directed me
to take up with the railroad companies
In this state q matter Of widening. grad
Ing and otherwise making more safe the
grade crossings of the public high
WAYS and railways.
The road law enacted by our last
legislature makes It the duty Of the
highway commissioners to adopt plans
for the roads Of the different counties
Of the state and It also provides for
classification OF highways OF the coun-
ties connecting county highways at
county lines. thus creating q state sys-
tenn Of classified highways
For the county highways we are re-
quiring a width when completed OF
twenty-four feet and the township
roads for main travelled roads the same
width, but the width Of the least trav-
clad not so wide.
1--WE would like to have your COM
pany make the crossings twenty-four
feet in width on the main travelled roads
and such width as makes for safety on
least Travelled roads and we would like
for you 10 make the approaches Of
the grade crossings level for thirty feet
In each direction and also keep moved
all weeds and brush obstructing the
view.
II would suggest as a means OF get
ting these crossings made thus that YOU
give general instructions to the track
men to that effect We have also mott
fed our county engineers requesting
them to give us the location by railway
mile posts ~ all DANGEROUS crossings on
all railroads IN their counties and as
these are located our highway engineer.
Mr.. r Fl. Macdonald will communicate
with you. "H G. BEARD"

most cities and special alertness on the
part of citizens generally to the special
fire dangers of the day actually gave Us
fire loss lower than the daily average.
Thus lives, eyes, limbs and property
were saved and the truth demonstrated
that real fire prevention prevents and
pays well.
There is still room to replace love of
noise with love of humanity, and to sup
plant a meaningless celebration with
one Of real patriotism. Let picnica,
band concerts, children's parades, page
ants and flag drills take the place of
barbarOus uproar and gunpOwder.
This will rob Independence Day Of
none Of its genuine pleasures and will
rehabiiate it as day of real rejoicing
and of true patriotism.
AS III former years, we also now urge
a thorough cleaning up of all rubbish,
and a restriction of the use of fireworks
both as to time and place.
Police officers should strictly enforce
such restrictions, also all city ordinances
and the state laws relating to fireworks
We call special attention to Chapter 3l3,
Laws of 1911, and Section 4397a of the
| Revised Statutes Of this state.
We hope. that city governments, civic
bodies and all good citizens will cooper
ate to make the coming Fourth" day
of pleasure, games, amusement and pa
| triotism, instead of a day of mutilatiOn
blindness, lockjaw, pOwder-poisoning
death and devastation by fire.

Of the members of the 63rd Congress
who may be called "a friend of the old
soldiers, one must include the name of

He was placed upon the committee on
Invalid pensions of the House of Repre-
sentatives in the 62d Congress, and de-
voted the major portion of his time to
the work of chat committee, and is con-
sidered one of its most liberal members.
His record clearly shows his friendship
for the old soldiers.
