EXPLAINS THE
new ROAD Law
Senator Ames and ]. w. Holden Meet
Supervisors and Trustees and
Discuss New Road Law.
REAL REASON FOR HIGH TAXES
Not Due to Road Law, but to Activity
of Municipal League in Having
Farm Assessed as City Property

There was an interesting meeting
at the county superintendent office in
the court house Wednesday afternoon,
When the board Of supervisors and the
township trustees met for the purpose
of having the new road law explained
to them by Senator Ames and j. W..
Holden. member of the state high
way commission. Senator Ames was
instrumental in drawing up the new
road law and getticg it through the
legislature, and his address on last
Wednesday afternoon was particular
ly interesting On this account.
The meeting was called to order
promptly at 2 o'clock and ed Ebert,
president OF the board of supervisors,
acted as chairman. Senator Ames
was first called upon to make an ad-
dress and in very thorough man
ner explained the new road law and
discussed and answered any and all
questions asked by those present. In
a very clear and decisive manner he
told OF the working of the new law
and the intent OF the same He told
the trustees just what was expected
of them under the road law and the
duties imposed upon them. One of
the principle features of his address
was an explanation Of the real reason
for the higher taxes this year and
while it was the opinion of many that
the new road law was the cause of
this in fact it has nothing to do with
it. Senator Ames explained that the
raise N taxation was brought about
by the state municipal league. who
brought action against the executive
council to have farm property assessed
at it's fair and equitable value the
same as town property. After care
full examination had been made the ex-
ecutive council decided that farm prop
erty should be assessed for about so
per cent this year. The average in
crease of property taxation was in the
neighborheod Of IS per cent, and was
made after the boards of supervisors
in the state had made their levies,
thus causing the increased taxation.
After the interesting talk by Sen
ator Ames State Highway Commits
sioner J. w. Holden addressed those
present. Mr. Holden stated that the
road work in Crawford county had
given him very little trouble under
the new law and that those in charge
had carried out the intent of the new

ED PHELAN INJURED
Prominent Omaha Contractor Former
Iy of Denison, in Bad Railroad
Wreck in Minnesota.

Ed Phelan, the railroad contractor
of Omaha and so wen and favorably
known in Denison, sustained an in
jury in a railroad wreck early on Mon
day morning near .iglow, Min, when
the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha train No. 2, going toward st.
Paul, was wrecked.
| Mr.. Phelan's name appears among
the list OF injured, having sustained
an injury to his back; there is no in
| formation as to the extent of his in
jury. However, we understand that
his wife and his partner, Mr..
Shirley, of Omaha, as soon as
word came of his injury, left for
Worthington, MINI, where he had
been taken to hospital. 1t is to be
hoped that his injuries will not prove
serious. We understand that a mess
age has been received to the effect
that his hurt is not quite as severe
as at first reported.
The wreck was caused by the break
ing of rail, due to the extremely cold
weather which had prevailed for few
days. At the time of the accident, it
is said, the train was running at an
enormous rate of speed and the pas
senger and sleeping cars were precip-
itated down an embankment and turn
ed over, and it became necessary to
fish the passengers out of the cars
through the windows. 1t is said that
but for the fact that the cars were
constructed Of steel that he disaster
would have been much greater. One
person was killed outright and it is
said that two or three others will die
as result of their injuries
Judge Walter |. Smith, of Council
Bluffs, was on the Inflated train on his
way to st. Paul to hold court, but he
escaped without any injury.

such stringent regulations for the OPP
Grafton of coal mines that every oo-
Grating mine, whether union or non

of this order will mean, can only
mean, that no coal can be produced

public by Lieut.-Col. Waterman. in
