WASTE ROAD BUILDING FUNDS
Need Of Constructing tho Right
Kind Of Roads.

The office Of public roads of the de-
partment of agriculture is making a
strong effort to focus the mind OF the
country on the fact that maintenance
and effective repair are OF equal i'm
portance with the actual improvement
Of bad roads. Investment Of money
in new roads does not become real
economy until provision Is made for
keeping these new roads in condition
after they are built. II new road
was built and then allowed to fall into
disrepair, much Of the original in
vestment is simply wasted
Europe. generally speaking, is ahead
of the United States in the matter
of road Improvement, but Great
similar to the one that confronts the
people of the United States. In Eng.
land, Scotland and Wales there are no
fewer than 2,14O separate authorities
who between them, administer 175,4S7
miles OF roads, or an average OF only
So miles apiece. In Scotland, apart
from the big cities there are over
200 burghs. one-half OF which have but
ten miles of road apiece to maintain.
Needless to say such minute mile
age is insufficient to keep the road
plant fully occupied all the year
around. and renders the employment,
of skilled engineer impossible for
economical reasons.
Officials Of the office of public roads
when called upon for assistance by the
various states are pointing out that
road building is an art based on a
science, and that trained men and ex-
perienced men are necessary to Sc
cure the best results from the expendi
ture of road funds
Statisticians have found that al
though the average expenditure on the
improvement of roads exceeds one mil
lion dollars day. large portion of
the money in the United States Is
wasted because of the failure to build
the right type OF road to meet the
local requirements or the failure to;
provide for the continued maintenance,
OF the improvement.
The various states and counties
within the past six months have
taken a greater interest in road i'm
provement than ever before in the
history of the United tSates, and there
Is now strong movement to con-.
serve the roads OF the country where
they are improved. Scientific mainte-
nance will be one of the chief fea-
lures Of the work Of the office OF pub
lie roads throughout the present year.

HoNoRED HIS CANARY BIRD
Resident Of Atlantic City euries Dead
Pet In style Accorded
Human Beings.

An Atlantic City resident recently
buried pet canary in style seldom
accorded either bird or beast. The lit
tie body was placed in a silk lined
metallic Coffin. Then burial service
was read over the bird. setting forth
how the songster had brought happi-
ness and good cheer into the home of
the owner through the influence of his
silvery notes. There were tears shed
at the funeral and at the little grave.
A complacent sort Of an attendant at
the obsequies was the family cat, who
listened to the solemn words and
watched the little bundle OF feathers
as he ruminatively stroked his whis-
kers. He had been the death of the
canary and would have had it eaten
after his first spring brought it down
to the floor had not the owner inter-
vened.
A Cincinnati woman not long ago
buried her pet poll parrot with unique
honors. She had had the bird. who
was a great talker, speak into a
graphophone. and although to visitors
the result was nothing but lot Of
squawkings the owner insisted that 1t
was faithful reproduction of the az
fectionate words uttered now and then
by the parrot. At the funeral of the
bird the woman had this record put In
the graphophone and turned out to sew
eral listeners called in to take part in
the obsequics. Then the record was
placed alongside the birds body and
buried with it, for the owner declared
she could never bear to hear her pets
voice again II she could not see the
bird in the flesh.
In Philadelphia some time ego boy
who had pet squirrel prevailed upon
his father to bury the entire cage Of
the squirrel. running wheel and all,
when the little animal was put In the
ground.

Aeroplane Shoped Like Bird.

An artificial bird built by a French
inventor. which has recently been sub
5ected to practical tests, apparently
solves what has be IN one OF the hard.
est problems in connection with heavi.
er-than-air flying machines, that of in.
herent stability. This device is a
small model Of an aeroplane, with body
and wings shaped exactly like those of
bird. and. from reports Of the tests,
1t represents the biggest step forward
since the Wright brothers first invent
ed the aeroplane. This model Is the
result Of years Of investigation of the
mechanics of bird fight, and, in par
ticu1ar, Of tie shape Of the body and
wings of soaring birds, the object be-
ing to develop type Of aeroplane that
would automatically right itself and
maintain its balance in varying air cur
rents without the use of stabilizing de-
vices of any kind aid without the ne.
cessity of any attention from the air
man. II the full-sized machines work
out as successfully as this model, 1t
means that one Of the greatest dan
gers in aviation has been practically
eliminated. With An aeroplane of this
type the airman would be free to de-
vote all his attention to steering and
running his machine, as there would
be no necessity for warping the wings
or changing the position of the ailerons
to maintain his balance, as at present,

KILLED NEAR COTTON CON-
PRESS YESTERDAY AFTER
NOON.

Frank Holley and William Johnson,
both negroes, were ground to death by
Louisville & Nashville loco
motive about 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, near the cotton compress,
just north of the city limits. when
they left a freight car on which they
were riding and attempted to cross
another track.
The two men boarded the car in
the city for the purpose of reaching
the place at which they were to go to
work, but when they jumped they did
not see the locomotive which was en-
route to the city. Both of them were
so badly mangled that identification
was made difficult. One of HolIey's
arms was cut off above the elbow ard
one of his legs was severed close to
his body.
The remains Of the men were viewed
by Coroner VIM. L. Johnson, who is
sued a certificate saying that they
were accidentally killed.

SAYS COUNTY
is BUILDING
HIM A ROAD
CITIZENS CLAIM THAT HANKS
BOASTS HE WILL NOT PAY FOR
IMPRovEMENTs-RoARD HALTs
WORK TO FIND OUT.

In a communication to the county
board signed by James Lee, who lives
near Atmore, and other residents in
district No. 3. G. c. Hanks, neighbour
has been having his field drained and
a, road built across his place by coun-
ty workmen.
Mr.. Lee appeared before the board
last night and said that Mr.. Hanks
has said the county will pay for the
work.
According to Commissioner McCur-
dy Mr.. Hanks had no right to say any
such thing AMI the county board de-
cided to halt the operations until the
matter can be investigated.
Commissioner McCurdy and Road
Supervisor Mimms say they did agree
that they would ditch a slight ridge
near Mr.. Hanks's place so that water
would not flood his field after running
off the hard road, all of which they
thought was only right. AS that work
will take longer than they first thought,
however, it was decided last night to
drop even that until the cost may be
ascertained.

SAY INTEREST
CLAIM HAS NO
REAL STANDING
NEW YORK ATTORNEYS ADVISE
COUNTY ATTORNEY AVERY
THAT M'NEAR COMPANY CAN'T
EXACT $4,000.

According to letters received from
Dillon, Thompson and Clay, in New
York. by County Attorney John E.
Avery, c. w. McNear and Company
successors to Woodin. McNear and
Moore. bond brokers, will have to take
the s$4s,950 of bonds to be issued in
April by the county board at the price
which the old firm agreed upon, less
the accrued interest.
McNear and Company contracted
with the county to take the entire is
sue of $1s000O of Jail bonds. 1t was
impossible at the time to issue all of
the bonds and so they took a part of
them, leaving the remainder until
they could be legally issued. Almost
$50, 900 may now be issued and they
have written the county, reminding
the board that they have the contract
and expected to hold the county for
accrued interest.
Judge Avery said he thought they
could not do that and as the amount
would be about $4,000, he was advised
by the county board to And out just
what constitutes the duty of the
county toward the bond firm.
According to the advice given, the
county issued all possible at the time
and the McNear concern cannot hold
them for accrued interest on the s4S.-
$50 and several thousands yet remain
ing under those circumstances.
A resolution authorizing the ap-
provaI of the bonds and the sale to
the McNear Company of them was
adopted, after Mr.. Avery had read the
advice of the New York law firm and
Deputy Clerk Thomas Johnson. one of
the bond trustees, had stated that he
thought 1t would be impossible to get
as good a price on the remainder as
McNear and Company had contracted
to pay.
1t is hoped that final action may be
taken at the next meeting and the
money assured at an early date as it
is badly needed.
A communication was read last
night which shows the warrant for
jail work issued to the G. c. Hartweli
Company has been protested. 1t is for
over $4,000 1t was decided to advise
the Hartwell people that the money
will soon be in hand and that the war;
rant will be taken up and protest fees
paid as soon as possible.

MANY ROADS
ARE WANTED
OVER COUNTY
NUMBER OF PETITIONS RE-
cEVED BY COUNTY BOARD
Mr.. PIKE GIVEN TIME TO
FINISH WORK.

Road matters again occupied the
at the court house.
The first to appear before the board
was Attorney r. Pope Reese. repre-
senting several farmers near War
rington, who claim that the road being
built by Albert Pike. a recent settler,
through his property is no good. Both
Mr.. Pike and Charlie Blum appeared
before the board and said the road is
not only being built as rapidly as pos
sible but that the charges that it is not
fit for travel and that nothing much
Is being done on 1t are unfounded.
They were supported by Road Sup
ervisor Mimms, who says that the
work is being pushed and that the
road will certainly be all right. The
board decided not to accept the road
right away but to give Mr.. Pike a
month in which to complete it and
make good showing.
A Mr. Barley appeared before the
board and said that he thinks a road
from Millview to Cumberland Point
should be built as soon as possible, as
farmers coming to Pensacola are now
using a. railroad grade. which they will
soon have to relinquish. The board
will take up the matter.
A petition from citizens Of BeIiview,
asking for two and a quarter miles of
roadway to connect the road from
Bellview to the Klondyke road was
received. Those who sent in the Pc
tition say they have fenced off their
properties but have left spaces for the
road so that ii can take a straight
course through their properties. They
win guarantee the county a right-of-
way and help the county In any way
they can in the staking-out and other
preliminary work. 1t was referred to
Commissioner Saunders.
George A. Berry, vice. president OF
the Deep Water Route sent in a let
ter to accompany a petition from cit
liens near Atmore who desire a road
from the Atrnore and Pensacola road
to the Pineville road. He says It will
greatly benefit residents of Walnut
Hill and a wide radius who wish TO
get to the station at Pineville with
produce and other stuff to ship.

IN CONNECTION WITH CAN

Berry.

George Hill, the negro charcoal
burner. who was arrested Sunday near
Quintette by Sheriff Ellis and Depu-
ties Crawford and Bewley and brought
TO Pensacola and locked up in the
county Jail on suspicion of being i'm
plicated in the postoffice robbery a few
days ago at Cantonment, has been dis
charged from custody on account of
the evidence against him not being
sufficient to hold him.
Hill was arrested when the officers
found the prints made by the hoof of
his crippled horse leading from the
postoff1ce at Cantonment to his home,
a mile or two from the scene of the
robbery. The officers also suspicioned
Hill because 1t was said that he was
known to have had dynamite in his
possession some time ago. which he
used in blowing up stumps.
The safe in the postoffice at Can
Torment was blown open with dyna-
mite and the robbers secured about
$500.
