NEAT GUIDE BOARDS.

Members Of the Manchester Auto
club are doing for the automobile
tourists through this section ofT To-
wa a real service by having placed
upwards Of forty guide boards at the
various intersections of the pr1ncl-
5tpally travelled highways passing east
and west and north and south in
Apelaware county. The posts and
Sign boards have been neatly fitted
and painted by James R. Toogood,
one Of Manchester's prominent good
roads boosters, and have been TAX
en- to the various points by different
members Of the local club. The
signs are credit to any automobile
club, and have been fitted up at
considerable expense. Tourists pass
ing through Manchester are loud in
their praise of the method adopted b!
the Manchester club in directing the
stranger to the principle points IN
this part Of the state.
y. A short time ago a number of boys
who failed to appreciate the serious
ness of the prank they were carry
ing out, pulled up one of the posts
and deposited the same in Honey
Creek, northeast of Manchester. The
post has been put in place again,
and no attempt made at trying to
find out who were the guilty par
ties. Boys should bear in mind
that mutilating or destroying signs
at intersections may be the means
Of serious trouble.

NEW PAVING LAW!

The legal department and the city
council Of Waterloo have evidently
run into a snag in the matter OF as
sessing paving cons tructed during
1914. Upwards of 500 assessments,
aggregating in round numbers some
thing like $8l, 900, will have to be
corrected. 1t appears that the diff
ficulty arose over the question of as
sessing intersections OF streets I'm
der the old form Of procedure the
cost OF paving intersections Of all
streets improved, was paid out OF
the city improvement fund. Under a
law. evidently passed by the last gen.
eral assembly this feature was chang
ed, and makes it possible for the
city to assess all of the cost of i'm
proving intersections to the abutting
property, and such other property ly-
ing next to that abutting thereon, not
extending more than one half OF the
distance to the next inters ection.
Manchester citizens who will be
called upon to pay for pavement on
East Main, Madison and Fayette
streets during the coming year. have
taken considerable interest in the
controversy which confronts the
authorities of our neighboring city OF
Waterloo, and several have been
wondering ON what basis the inter-
sections of East Main and Madison
and Fayette streets will be assess
ed. 1t appears in the Waterloo case
that one attorney construed the
law which became effective January
l.. 1914. to read that paving assess
ment must be figured in proportion
to the benefits derived, and not ac-
cording to the area involved. Anoth-
err attorney interprets the law to
mean that paving should be assessed
according to an area basis. For in
stance. a man who owned a lot off
the paving but adjoining the corner
lot which abutted the paving paid the
same percentage of the cost as did
the man abutting the paving, and
who derived the chief benefits, and
he also paid the same as the man
who was the fartherest away from
the paving but who was within the
required one-half the length of the
block limit.

WILL ENLARGE GARAGE.

j. NJ. Jones & Sons, the popular
dealers OF Ford an Overland cars,
have been seriously handicapped this
past season for lack of room in their
present quarters. Often times their
garage was crowded to overflowing,
causing much inconvenience in the
handling of their rapidly growing
business of selling cars and acces-
sories.
This condition will not prevail next
year. Jos. Hutchinson. the owner
of the building and the ground, has
had force OF workmen putting in
the foundation for large addition to
the building, extending the same to
the alley. This new addition will
give the firm nearly twice the stor-
age room over what they have had
since they have opened their garage.
Besides increasing their display and
sales rooms the firm is also plan
ming on enlarging their workshop
quarters.
Mr. Hutchinson hopes to have the
new addition to the building COM
pleted before the first of March, Civ"
ing the firm ample store room to
house several car loads of automo-
biles at one time.

MATES,


From September 1 to November 1,
1914. the Christian Home Orphanage
at Council Bluffs. received 109 in
mates and placed in private families,
los. The remaining population at
the Orphanage on November 1 was
264, and the management expects
that this number will be greatly in
creased as the winter approaches.
The past year has been a hard one
on the work, financially, and heroic
efforts are being made to raise suf-
ficient funds at Thanksgiving to pay
off all debts and make it possible
for the Home to vigorously prosecute
its work during the winter, when ap-
peals for help are most urgent and
numerous.
The Orphanage receives more than
$50 children annually from Iowa
alone. without expense to any coun-
ty. 1t has no endowment and no
agents, but depends entirely on the
voluntary contributions of charitable
people.
Now is a splendid time to aid a
| most worthy cause. Let us send
part of the good things we have re-
ceived during the year to the little
fatherless and motherless boys and
girls at the Orphanage A letter
containing your contribution address,
ed to the Christian Home Orphanage,
Council Bluffs, Iowa, will reach them
promptly and will be thankfully re-
ceived and acknowledged. s5t. 49, y.

Winter has set in and there are
thousands of homeless and without
