John H. Holman returned Sat.

tended several meetings in the at.
torney generals office at which the
form of the contract of the agricul.
tural department at Washington for
the construction of the new scenic
highway was reaoal over and dis.
cussed4 He reports that the form of
the contract is quite satisfactory as
it gives the counties permission to
make separate contracts with con.
tractors to build the road as far as
it lies in each county. The main
objection to it is that it calls for an
eight-hour working day for all work
on the road, and it is thought that
this will increase the cost of the
road a great deal. c.. l.. Weeks, as

remedy this condition in the con.

Mr.. Holman reports that the sur.
veying of the road will be done in
about a week. Major George Cooley
state highway engineer, will have his
profiles and estimates ready to pre-.
sent about August 1, and then the
counties will advertise for bids for
the actual construction of the road
Several large contractors are now
waiting to present their bids.

PUBLIC IS TAKING
 SANITATION INTEREST

One of the best features deyelopinS in connection with the sanitation movement. or rather the movement to keep up the rigid enforcnnt of san. itary measures put in effect some time ago under the new city ordI- nance, is found in the fact that res idents generally are taking a hand not only in keeping their own prop critics clean but in seeing to it that the officers are notified of remissness in the matter wherever t occurs.
 The office of the chief of police and the city clerk almost daily receive written, verbal and telephone notices of failures in various neighborhoods to abide by the regulations or the sanitary ordinance. These complaints are nromptly taken up and the first ! thing. and all, the offender knows about it he is called up with orde! l to promptly abate and keep aDaIe" | whatever form of nuisance may nave . bsen complained of. The turning Tn oi ! information concerning laxness III . obeving the ordinance is of course a decided aid to the officers, and alsc
 decided aid to general good health 1T
 the community. While the heaith on cers and the police department Inlsn
 find much without the cooperation
 of the public, it is enabled to md
 great deal more, and much speedler
