THE ROAD is FINISHED.

The new road leading east from

right of way is now completed and
ready to be turned over to the

Township Trustee Held and the
men who performed the labor de-
serve much credit for the good
work they have done. The ap-
prOximate cost to the township
was $3.50 which includes all grad
ing and The culvertS and bridges
Of this amount, 800 was donated
by the business interests of Hois-
ingtOn.
AS soon as the road is accent
ed by The county commissioners
as county road, the expense will
cease for the township and what
mas Deen probably the worst road
in the township will be a thing OF
the past. 1t is estimated that the
hill road has cost the township
an average of $50 per year and
even with that expenditure the
road was never good. Now the
township will never be bothered
from that source any more.

The old political plan of local oil
inspectors and provided for an
inspector of oil at the place of
shipment. No change was made
in the fees but the state got them
instead of l25 local politicians. Ii
proved a profitable change and
ibe state has enjoyed a revenue
or account of it. Now the oil
companies are complaining and
want the fee reduced and threaten
to 60 into The courts and have the
law knocked out. Had the Demo-
Gratis followed the old Republi-

Instead of running the department
on an economical basis the oil
companies would have had no
