PIKE ROAD MUST
 AWAIT SPECIAL ACT.
tContinued from First Page.)

be levied unless approved by the ma. jority in value of the owners. It will be seen that there are these prerequi. sites: 25 taxpayers must sign, the ma- jority of the legal voters and the ma- jority in value of the property owners must sign.
 The hearing, however, provided for in Section 51, is only to determine whether a majority of the voters have. signed There is no way provided in the statute for determining whether the 25 parties who have signed the petition are taxpayers residing in the county, or whether the petition has been signed by a majority in value of the property owners. These questions must remain forever open and uncer- tain.
 ?. There is no way prescribed in the statute to determine whether the majority in value of the property owners have signed In our local im- provement act in reference to cities and towns, and in all other acts on the subject with which we are acquainted, it is provided that the last county as- sessment shall determine. This stat ute, however, furnished no criterion. 1t may be the county assessment, or 1t may be the actual value of the prop erty or it may be the value required to be set opposite the name or the owner when he signs the petition, and possibly there are other standards that might be suggested. No one, therefore, can be sure that he has got a majority in value.
 3. Section 58 of the act authorizes the commission to revise the assess ment of benefits at any time. In all other acts dealing with the subject, that we know of, it is provided that in case bonds have been issued, the total amount of assessed benefits shall not be diminished on any revision. Un- der this statute the commission could reduce the assessment of benefits to point where they would not pay the bonds. While we have the greatest faith in the integrity of the commis- sion, and while it is likely that it will always be composed of honest men, you cannot expect capitalists to invest their money in bonds, the payment of which must remain at the option of others.

TO SHIP BERRY
 CAR BY EXPRESS
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily
 The first carload of strawberries from Conway this year will go out by express tonight and will probably he consigned to Kansas City. The car. which was set out by train No. 132 yesterday afternoon, is being loaded today, and it is expected that 1t will go out on train No. 106 tonight.
 Shipping berries in car lots by ex- press is a little out of the ordinary. but it is stated that the quickness of delivery will make up for the in- creased charges. Should the car be routed to Denver, Colo, for instance. it would reach that place within As hours, while the fastest freight ser vice possible would be from four to five days. The charges on the express car would be only about one-third greater than if shipped by freight.
 A large number of pickers are at work in the field of the Conway Strawberry Co.,, which is the busiest place in the city today. The growers are hoping for a continuance of fair weather, which will greatly improve the quality of the berries. The price for first-class berries today is about $3 per crate on the car here, but on account of their water soaked condi- tion today's shipments are not expect ed to bring so large a price.
