WASHINGTON, d. c., July i0-The

Among the illustrations cited by the
department are the following
In Lee county Virginia a farmer
owned 100 acres between Ben Hur and
Jonesville which he offered 70 sell
for $500. In 1905 this road was
improved, and, although the farmer
fought the improvement. he has since
refused $4,000 for his farm Alone this
same road a tract OF 1853 acres was
supposed &c have been sold for $4,000
The purchaser refused the contract,
however. and the owner threatened 10
sue MIN. After the road Improvement,
and without any improvement upon
the land, the same farm was sold to
the original purchaserfor $4,000
In Jackson county, Alabama the
people voted a bond issue Of S250,0u0
for road improvement and improved
