Two FINE CANES
OF BASEBALL
YESTERDAY
(By c. Green.)

An excellent afternoon for the
national pastime greeted the two
hundred baseball enthusiasts who
journeyed out to the athletic field
yesterday and they were well enter
tanned with both games of ball
The first game between Co. ID and
the Moose went into an extra inn
ing, the Soldiers grabbing the much
needed tally to win the game The
game was an up and down one and
some good plays as well as bad ones
were recorded. Co. ID found the
third base position a weak spot and
pounded it through frequently. Rey-
nolds pitched fair game, ascending
to some height at frequent intervals
The final score was Co. d, s;
Moose. Z.
Batteries-For the Moose: Sloan.
Meharg and Sawyer. For Co. d:
Reynolds, Upchurch and s. Meharg
The lks-Hollingsworth game
would have been one of the best
contests the League has seen had
it not been for the fact that some of
the Antlered members found it
much to their liking to do a little
kidding, which eventually lost them
the game. The Elks had the Lake
boys outclassed at all points and up
to the seventh inning Hollingsworth
had found the Elk pitcher, Goss, for
but two hits. Twice the Elks had
scored and twice more could an Elk
have crossed the pan, but kidding
instead of baseball was uppermost
in the minds of the runners Goss
pitched an excellent game for the
Elks, and Harrington for the Lake
boys. Upchhrch catchine for Hol-
lingsworth, was relieved by Cornell
son, who showed little if any i'm
provement. The final inning proved
fatal for the Elks, when with the
score two to nothing, two singles
and a couple of boobies gave Hol-
lingsworth three runs and the game

however, the curb and gutter is not

Gently enacted by the State legisla-
ture to have the work done and paid
for on the ten-year certificate plan
by which the property owner with
hundred feet of paving at a dollar

den a very light one and will no
doubt be GLADLY accepted in view of
the tremendous value it will give.

Persistent efforts on the part of
the Polk County Good Roads Asso-

G,:.ing the past year in its plans for
a countrywide system of good roads.
This most important step came Yes
terday, as the result of a meeting of
the Association with the county
commissioners last Tuesday when, in
response to urgent representations on
the part of several members of the
Association, the commissioners
agreed to meet in executive session
on Thursday of this week and out
line a system of roads agreeable to
the commissioners, this to be offered
to the Association for its approval.
any differences to be adjusted and
amicable agreement to be entered
into between the commissioners and
the Association by a committee rep
resenting the Good Roads enthu-
siasts.
The commissioners met az agreed
yesterday. and outlined the follow
inC roads which they have unani-
mously adopted as the basis for a
proposed bond issue:

A meeting of the above mentioned
committee will be held with the
commissioners on Wednesday next
for the purpose of reaching a Joint
agreement, after which the commits

bids for the engineering work nee
essary in order to determine the
amount for which to bond the coun-
ty On the completion of the sur

then be asked for this work on diff
ferent types of paving material with
the understanding that the best bid
will be accepted subject to the sat
isfactory sale of the bonds which
will then be advertised The next
step will be to call bond election
to submit the question to the tax
payers of the county and it is safe
to say that the result will be in fav-
or of the bonds The commission

which it is expected the commission
ers will take up at their next meet
ing. After publication, the commits
sioners may advertise for bids, and
S soon as the work is completed, is

against abu-ting property. These
certificates can then be covered with

1t should be said here that the
city will pay one-third of the cost
of this work in view of the extraor-

Al EARLY Date WITH Sand ASPHALT

At the regular meeting III the
commissioners q: TIC City rf Lac

olworthy. on bcha't CT the Cham
her OF Commerce and a number of
interested citizens presented plan
for paving the streets leading out in
various directions to the country
, roads. AS is too well known these
streets are in very bad condition and
demand immediate attention. Good
clay is hard to get and the results
from using it have been far from
satisfactory. the street commissioner
having practically decided that he
did not wish to use any more of it
for road or street paving purposes
These particular streets, however,
are now, more or less, surfaced with
clay and it is proposed to put on top
of the clay, after proper grading.
two and one-half inch surface of
sand-asphalt, similar to that now
being put down near Mulberry, to
be Immediately followed by several
other sections in the county. Where
this paving material has been used
during the past eight or nine years
1t has given good satisfaction and is
capable of easy and economical
maintenance and repair, being hard
enough to resist the effects of reas-
onably heavy traffic and yet soft
enough that by scarifying the sur
face, after ii begins to show some
signs of wear, to apply hot liquid
asphalt and hot sand in proper pro-
portions so that the new application
when rolled becomes an integral
part of the whole and restores the
paving to its original thickness and
surface condition This resurfacing
has been done in the Cape Cod dis
trict of Massachusetts after six
years constant wear at the rate of
seven cents per square yard, which
engineers consider very small
maintenance cost. BY this method,
1t is therefore, possible to keep a
sand-asphalt road maintained indefi-
nitely at a low cost, the only neces-
sary condition being that the work
of maintenance shall be done while
the life is in the material and not
after it has become worn out. The
low first cost of sand-asphalt togeth-
er with the fact that IS per cent of
the material (sand) is found locally
in more than sufficient quantities
makes strong appeal for its use.
1t is expected that the county
commissioners will very shortly call
a bond election for the pacing of
considerable mileage in the county
of this kind of material and the city
commissioners have become con-
WINGED of it's value as an economical
and durable type of paving. They
have, therefore, decided to proceed
as soon as possible with this work
on the following thoroughfares:
On Lake avenue, from East Orange
street, along East Morton street to
the city limits. On South Florida
avenue from Palmetto street to the
