A Tour Of Central Kansas Planned

CAMPAIGN TO REVIVE THE WORK
Governors Party Expects to Gather
Figures on Benefits to Farmers
of Well Built Highways
Meetings to Be Held.

Topeka-Governo Hodges is going
to begin a campaign in few weeks for
revival in the good roads work in
Kansas, The governor and o. M. Will
hite of Emporia, F. C. Trigg of Kansas
City and two or three other good road
advocates are going to Hutchin-
son. From there they will begin a
motor car trip through Central Kansas
to boost good roads. They will hold
good roads meetings in every town, go
over the roads already constructed and
get facts and figures from the farmers
living along the good roads as to how
beneficial a well made road, properly
maintained, really is. Then they will
tell the people living away from the
good roads how important it is to build
connecting Times and improve gen.
orally the highways.
six years ago Kansas started on a
good roads campaign" said the gov
ernor. -Four years ago We got the
rock road law and provision for dirt
road improvement.
Kansas built two or three thousand
miles of the dirt highways and some
rock roads under that law. Two years
ago the Public Utilities bill was the
chief issue in the legislature and little
attention was paid to good roads work.
This year the legislature did not do a
thing for good roads except to pass the
Motor Car Registration law and say
the money should go toward maintain
ing roads.
Just as soon as the weather settles
and the roads get good after the spring
rains l want to tour Central Kansas
and start campaign for good roads. l
want to get the farmers aroused to the
need Of improved highways and to the
saving good roads are In getting farm
produce to market"

The Kansas board of health, in maxi
ing tests of drinking water furnished
on the railroads in Kansas, found one
third of that tested was fit to drink,
one-third might be dangerous and the
other one-third absolutely dangerous
for human consumption. In only one
or two cases did the board find that
the water originally was bad, The
pollution of the water came from the
handling of the ice that went into 1t.
That is the reason for the order by
the board that after July all the
Kansas railroads must put water
tanks into their cars in such fashion
that the ice does not touch the water.
The chemists of the state university
took rs samples of the water on the
trains at Kansas City and Wichita.
OF those 81 were found to be suffi-
GENTLY clean for drinking purposes
while the rest we're found to contain
enough bacteria to be classed as un-
fit and more than 20 OF the samples
were found to contain typhoid fever
germs and other germs in sufficient
quantities to be set down as absolute
ly dangerous. In one case water taken
from the sand springs at Abilene, the
finest water in Kansas, WIS found to
be dangerous for human consumption
by the time 1t reached Kansas City.
Then came the investigation Of the
ice and the tests showed that the
careless handling Of the ice, dirt
on the gloves or tongs used by the
handlers and on station platforms,
caused the contamination.
