COUNTY To HAVE.
MORE GOOD ROADS
Lawn Owners in Northwest
Plan Formation of
District.
DROP BIG DISTRICT
Movement to Include All Property
North of River in District Drop
ped Because Of Opposition
at Meeting.

Steps will Immediately be taken to
the Arkansas river and west of the
Cotton Belts Little Rock branch for
the purpose of building a system of
macadam roads, This was decided
upon yesterday following a meeting
at the Jefferson court house at which
the proposal to incorporate all the
property north of the river in one
district to build 100 miles of macad-
am road was rejected.
Col. J. NJ. Oracle led the opposition
to the big district, declaring it would
increase taxation too greatly. Mr.
Oracle is probably the largest prop
erty owner in the territory north Of
the river, if not in the entire county.
Others who opposed the plan are B.
B. We'll, l.. M. Quattlebaum, J. S.
Barraque, T. M. Phillips, w. G. Crit
tenden, William Nichol and others.
The opposition came from property
owners of the northeastern part. Of
the county, most of whom do not re-
side in the territory affected.
County Judge C. M. Philpot, who
called the meeting to discuss the
proposition, explained it was not the
purpose to endeavor to include in the
road improvement area any who did
did not wish to be therein, and to the
contention that good roads building
should be postponed until the drain
age and levee districts are paid out
retorted that if no good roads are
built until the levee district is paid
out, "you will wait until your chill
dren's children will have passed
away" D.. B. Niven and Jesse r.
Core argued for the formation Of the
district, declaring that the property
county and most of whom reside in
the proposed district are in favor of
investing money in good roads
through the district method.
After C. H. Triplett, Jr., who acted
as secretary of the gathering, had
announced that the vote stood 20
against to 10 for the proposition,
Chairman w. H. Langford heard a
motion to adjourn, which carried.
The advocates of good roads in the
northwestern portion Of - county
then conferred with County Judge
Philpot, the decision being reached
to form district in the northwestern
part Of the county as large as the
owners of property approve.
1t is planned to build a system of
roads reaching from Tucker west and
north to the Lonoke county good
road, and south to the free bridge
over the Arkansas river, near Pine
Bluff. Sheriff. will be connected with
the system, If the property owners
affected so desire.
County Judge Philpot said yester
day afternoon two Districts will be
planned, one including all property
in that section of the county formed
by a line north and west of Pine
Bluff, while the other will include the
property north of the river anad west
of the Cotton Belt branch to Little
Rock with. the exception of that about
Sheriff.. This will be done to permit
of inclusion in the district only prop
erty-owners desiring good roads.

Every announcement was given the

night, and urged the extension Of
the road from Hazen to Des Are
While Mr. Britton made no prom
ises he encouraged the committee by
telling them that he would send his
engineers over the route within the
next thirty days. This met with the
general approval of the different com
mittees, and it is generally conceded
If this is done, there will no longer
be any question as to the building
Of the road. He also promised to pay
Des Arc a personal visit in the near
future and look over the situation.
The members Of the committee
freely predict u}1t if President Brit
| ton will look into the matter more
closely and personally inspect the ex-
listing conditions, that he will yield
to their demands.
The meeting was very harmonious
and largely attended by members of
the Chamber Of Commerce, a delega-
ton from Stuttgart, Hazen and Des
Arc.
Secretary p. B. Bloom of the Cham
Der Of Commerce urged that Presi-
dent Brtton grant the demands of
the Des Arc delegation, and Impress
ed upon the officials that it was a
needed Improvement Secretary

was thriving little town, had three
big veneer plants, virgin timber
lands and a number of manufacturing
plants,s and said that the population
was made up of progressive people.
President Britton was accompanied
by Vice President William Farrell of
st. Louis, General Superintendent W.

RATES ARE TOO Low

Washington, May 29.-Other finan'
cial syndicates were today unloaded
on the house of Morgan when the in
terstate commerce commission open
ed up on the deal by which J. P. Nor
gan placed the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton road on the shoulders OF
the Baltimore & Ohio.
The deal was shown to be even as
remarkable as those made by Morgan
in connection with the New Haven
system, recently exposed by President
Mellen.
Daniel Willard, president of the B.
& o., spent the entire day on the
stand, and though at times reluctant
he told under the guidance of Louis
u. Brandeis, attorney for the commits
sion, just how Morgan worked.
He admitted that the c. H. & d.
transactions were an investment on
which nothing had been earned, and
admitted that it may end in the hands
of receivers. The whole deal was un-
wise, according to Mr.. Willard.
Attorney Brandeis sought to bring
out that because of this unsuccessful
venture, which he stated would end
in the loss of some s50,00O,000 by the
B.. & O., that road is now urging q
5 per cent increase in freight rates.
