 He made no motion to sit down and Billy rose.

A Plan and a Telegram.


 The big, cool dining-room, with tall palms and plants, snowy tables and gleaming silver. the crowd of we'll dressed people, the talk and laughter, and the obsequious, hurrying walters, was not a new experience to the Wa termelon. For one short, painful week, he had essayed to be a waiter ana had finally seen the folly of his ways and given it up after he had which were withheld, could cover His complete indifference as to what people thought of him made him en. tirely at his ease, while his scattered wits were coming back with a rush and his colossal self-assurance was growing every moment he was in the society of the charming Billy.
 T was a hash-slinger once" said he, gazing at her across the table.
 Her small nose wrinkled with pleas ure and the single dimple flashed forth and was gone.
 That's right" said the general. who grew more fond of his guest with ev- cry passing remark Don't be ashamed of the past just because you have money now"
 You blacked boots, too. believe ?'' questioned Bartlett, fhe results of that unfortunate cotton deal he had par ticipated in still ranking. Quite in- teresting."
 The Watermelon had ears only for Billy, She spoke and it was as if the otsers had been silent.
 Was 1t fun?" she asked.
 "Oh, yas." drawled the Watermelon sarcastically .Tt was fun all right. Everybody wanted to be waited on first and everybody wanted the white meat"
 What did they do when they didn't get waited on?" asked Billy.

~ EyLence of what affect this law,
whicRs provides for an unsystematic
method Of road building. has on the
tax rate is found on the tax duplicates
at the county auditors Office.
In 1911 the special three mile gravel
road tax in Wayne township and the
corporations in the township was 7
cents. In 1912 it was II cents and in
1913 it was "a cents, an increase of
IT cents in three years. How this az
fected the general tax rate is shown
by the following figures:
How General Rate Affected.
General Wayne township tax rate in
1911, $2.08; in 1913. 1925. General
tax rate in Richmond in 1911, 1922;
In 1913, 1913.
So far this year twelve roads have
been authorized under the three mile
act, the total bond Issues for them
reaching the tidy sum OF S289,540.
Wayne townships share of this ex-
pense is s246, 100, for seven of these
twelve roads lead into Richmond.
These bonds are not retired until af
tanned during that period for a fund
to retire the bonds.
Next year property owners might
petition. for concrete or brick roads,
thereby doubling the expense and
greatly increasing the tax rates in the
townships where the roads are built.
It is for this reason that many peo-
pie in Wayne county who have given
the road question some thought are
unanimous in declaring that the reck-
less petitioning for roads must be dis
couraged in a vigorous manner and
permanent road policy postponed until
more satisfactory legislation is OBJ
tanned
AS to Making Old Roads.
City Engineer Charles advocates
not only the disuse of the three mile
act until it can be altered, but also
discourages any plan for bringing the
roads already built up to their maxi
mum efficiency. for he says the cost
would be excessive and the results OBJ
tanned unsatisfactory. Automobiles
are so hard on non-permanently i'm
proved roads, Charles says, that they
are Impractical for modern use, no
matter how much care is given them
