Changing the County Home.

The County Commissioners at
their regular meeting Monnay, ap-
pointed a committee consisting of S.
G. Whitfield, w. F. Horner, and j..
E. Branch, to consider the a1visa-
bility Of selling the present county
home farm and buying a smaller
farm, and erecting a lot Of brick
buildings and equipping them with
modern equipments etc.
The present farm consists of some
thing like 400 acres Of fairly good
land that they think ought to sell
for seven or eight thousand dollars,
or more, and with this amount the
home can be made ready with but
very little extr a cost to the county.
We believe this plan will meet
with the approval of the tax payers
Of the county, especially so if they
see the buildings and surroundings
Of our present home. AS ore Of the
commissioners expressed it, 1T is
now poor house, but l want to see
real modern county home for the
care Of our aged and infrm and I'M
fortunates." And this is what it
should be.

1t has been suggested, often times,
and it strikes US as the best thing
that can be done for our roads, and
that is, instead Of townships keeping
a team and men employed all the
time to drag the roads, that the
roads be divided up, say in sections
of five miles each. and let by con-
tract to the farmers living along
these roads, and let each man look
after his section and drag it at the
proper time. This could be done at
a great deal less cost than is paid
now, and then all the roads would be
dragged the same day or thereabout.
The trouble in working under this
system, we are told, is IN getting the
farmers to take hold = the work.
How many farmers in Palmyra,
Roseneath and Scotland Neck town.
ships are willing to undertake this
work?

What to do with the dust problem

What to do with the dust problem
is giving our merchants and citizens
generally right much concern. 1t
does seem that we have had more
dust the past ten days than ever be-
fore. On behalf of all the people of
the town we beg our city aldermen
to stop and consider the matter long
enough to see if something cannot
be done to help the situation. We
understand that there is an oil that
can be used on dirt streets that will
wonderfully improve the situation.
Why not take up the matter and see
what can be done? We are satisfied
that the merchants of the town
would be willing to pay part of
the cost of using this oil or what
ever is necessary to help the dust
stu, ton and the town commission
ers ought to put some money in this
movement. We beg the commits
sioners to take the lead in this mat
ter right away. 1t is their duty to
do so, not only for the interest of
the merchants who pay taxes, but in
the interest of the health of the
people of the town. All together
then, gentlemen, and the dust situa-
ton can soon be greatly relieved.
