that he has been carried away by his

too vehement This God proved by
sparing so many infants hitherto in

Highway Commissioner Cunningham
yesterday TO inform him that the
$4,000 promised TO complete the road
from Wawa TO the Maryland State
line had been obtained. S1O.000 each
from the Commissioners of Delaware
and Chester counties and $4,000 in
subscriptions, mostly of a private
character, and at the same time asked
him to begin the making of the road
as soon as possible.
Commissioner Cunningham ex-
pressed the highest satisfaction over
the information and said he appre-
ciated the efforts of the people in the
two counties to aid in obtaining good
roads.
Arrangements were made to place
the money subscribed so that it will
not go into the State treasury. from
which il would have to be drawn by
warrant and it will be put in local
banks. The State will supply the
balance of the fund to complete the
construction, but just how much t
will take depends upon the kind Of
road that is TO be built.
Chief Engineer Uhler announced
that plans for the section from Anvil
to Kennett borough line were CON-
pleted. and that plans for the
stretches between Wawa and Con-
cordville and West Grove to Jenners-
vile could be commenced and finish
ed in time to begin the work of con-
struction. probably before cold wealth
er sets in.
! Commissioner Cunningham said
that under the impression that the
$4,000 promised by the two counties
would not be raised for some time
he was arranging to begin construc.
tion next spring but in view of. thf
fact that the liberality of the coun.
ties would permit it, he would al

NORTH AND SOUTH HIGH WAY, FROM LINCOLN AVE- NIUE TO NINETEENTH, TO BE BUILT WEST OF FOR- EST PARK.
WILL MAKE CIRCLE DRIVE
Pleasure Traffic, Now Plying Back and Forth, May Go One Route and Return Another Judge Asher to Convert Quarry Into Park Where New Road Will Join Lincoln Avenue.

Sixteen acres of rocky bluff, situated about two miles north- west of Forest Park, has been purchased by Pulaski county from which to get rock for the con- struction of the new Fort Smith road up the south bank of the Arkansas river.
 In getting out this rock, 1t is Judge Asher's plan to leave the quarry site in such condition that 1t can easily be converted into a park, for which it is pc culiarly adapted, as there are fine springs and beautiful waterfall on the property.
 This plan fits in with another plan that Judge Asher long has had and which now is near full fillment, of building a road west of Forest Park to connect Pros peet avenue with the new Fort Smith road, or Lincoln avenue pike.
 With this improvement com-| pleted the thousands of pleasure automobiles which now ply back and forth between Little Rock and Forest Park could make a beau- tiful circle drive, going out Pros- pect avenue and coming back via Lincoln avenue, or vice versa. This cutoff road ultimately would be extended southward from Prospect avenue to Twelfth street and Nineteenth street bikes. It is an improvement that the city of Pulaski Heights is eager to have completed and is cooperating with in every way.
