JONES USES GRAVEL
TO REPAIR HIGHWAYS
FOR WINTER TRAFFIC

A new road repair system is to be
tried by Road Superintendent Jones
next spring if his present plans are
carried out.
If the Chester pike is turned over
to the county" said Mr.. Jones. Il In
tend to repair it with gravel l have
found that when a macadam road gets
in as bad condition as that is in gravel
is better than stone for repair The
only way to use crushed stone in re.
pair work is to scarify the roads and
practically put on new crown This
will cost at least $1,000 per mile while
the same work can be done with
gravel at much less expense"
Mr.. Jones is strongly in favor OF
gravel in preference to macadam on
any roads. He says that it makes a
better road for automobiles and FOL
heavy traffic.
With practically the same amount
of money on hands as was spent las,
year, Superintendent Jones is planning
on doing even more to the roads
During the past year, the maintenance
Of the county roads has cost approx
mately $105 mile. This includes al
the expense of material and work.
In1913, the township roads cost the
tax payers approximately $s5 and II
1914 this was increased to 500. Thu
figures for this year are not obtain
able.
There Will be approximately 500 ,oO'
to spend on county roads next year
Mr.. jones' program includes gravel
ing every road in the county this fal
and winter so that by next summe
the highways will be In better condi
ton than ever before.

RICHMOND AVENUE WOMEN
OBTAIN OIL FOR STREET

is going to oil the street." remarked
Mrs. Reuben Richmond as she and the
twelve other women left the city hall.
For some time Clerk Bescher has
been suggesting the advisability OF
having petition circulated for the oil
ing of West First street. His sugges-
tion has never been acted upon be-
cause the board hesitated about buying
another carload of oil this late in the
season just to oil one street.
The board, however decided to pur-
chase the oil in a very few minutes
after the Richmond avenue women
opened their verbal bombardment.
They told the board that they and 9th.
er property owners on the street were
ready to reimburse the city for the
cost of the oil providing the city did
the oiling and the board members lost
no time in calling this proposal bar.

ONE OUT Of EIGHT
OBTAINS CHARITY
CITY OF RICHMOND

The annual report of Secretary Mel
polder of the social service bureau,
which viii be submitted to the execu-
tive board this afternoon, states that
5000 persons have received help from
the charity bureau during the last
year. A total of 7S4 families have
been helped through the agencies of
the bureau, the township trustee and
the organizations affiliated with the
central bureau.
This means that one out of every
eight Inhabitants Of the city has re-
ceived charitable aid. More that S10.-
900 has been expended on the poor in
Richmond during the last year.
The survey of health conditions OF
the city shows that there were fewer
deaths due to tuberculosis during the
last year than for many years.
A survey Of industrial conditions OF
the city made during the year, shows
that there were 1.1SO less persons en-
ployed in the city than the year pre-
vious. In spite of this fact, the report
goes to show that there was less sui.
fering among the poor.

ASK IS PER CENT CUT
/ in INSURANCE Rates
ON BUSINESS HOUSES

Secretary Haas made application to-
day of the insurance rating bureau at
Indianapolis, for a reduction of 13 per
cent. in the insurance rates of the
business houses of Richmond. The
promise of a reduction was made
when the city purchased the new ae-
rial fire truck but the demand was
made by the bureau for the employ
ment OF three additional firemen be-
fore the city can be placed in class
No. 2.
In spite of the fact that the city
has refused to employ the additional
firemen, Secretary Haas and the inspr-
ance committee of the Commercial
club believes that the business men
are entitled to the reduction.
1t was learned that it would cost
about $4,000 for the bureau to resurvey
the city. This would be an expensive
proposition and for this reason the
committee believes that their plan
should be accepted by the bureau as
a fair proposition.

MINISTERIAL BODY
DECIDES TO PROBE
CONDITION OF JA|LS

Jail conditions and treatment of pris-
oners in Richmond will be investigated
by the evangelistic committee OF the
Ministerial association within the next
two weeks and a report, containing
practicable suggestions to improve
methods now employed by the police,
will be made.
The investigation will be conducted
as result of letter written to Rev.
E. G. Howard from c. E. Grove of Gin
cinnati, and read to the members of
the association at their first winters
session this morning in the Y. NJ. c. A.
Grove writes that he was held in Jail
for IS days during the latter part of
spring and released without a hearing
on the affidavit filed against him,
charging the issuance of fraudulent
check. Grove was employed by an in
surance company and it was also held
that a shortage had occurred in his ac-
counts. He was released on his own
recognizance and the charge remains
against him.
Rev. J. J. Rae will probably head the
evangelistic committee this year.

Miss Ennis Informed Fire Chief MIL

One peculiar thing connected with the
fire was that the gasoline tank in the
machine did not explode although
spectators mistook the popping Of the
tires as the explosion Of the gasoline
tank. There was large tank Of gas
oline in the back yard but the flames
did not get to it. The blaze was a bril-

from their slumbers thought that a
