FOSTER ATTACKS Il 4! .
MACADAm ROADS:
IN WAYNE COUNTY

"For one.half the amount OF money
Wayne county can build roads. which
will give twice the amount Of service
that the nacadam roads which have
been built the last five years have
given" said H. G. Foster, . local road
contractor. Roads have not been
built right IN Wayne county, and it IL
not the fault OF the contractors, but
II Is the fault OF the persons preparing
the specifications" he said.
He said that practically all the road
contractors are opposed to the practice
Of the commissioners In appointing
some farmer to supervise road con-
struction. He said that when the
county pays from $4,000 to $4,000 a
mile for nnacadam road Improvement,
the taxpayers are entitled to expert
road supervision.
Although Mr.. Foster has built some
OF the roads in the county which he
now condemns, he says that It Is USE
less for the county to pay $4,000 q
mile for macadam road improvement.
In the construction Of several roads
In the county. better foundations have
been torn up than have been put IN
their places. he said. This is the re-
suit Of the specifications and is fool
ish expenditure of the county's money,
he said.

OM|TS CENTENNIAL APPROPRIATION

When council meets this evening 1t
will act upon 1916 budget ordinance
which contains no appropriation for
the celebration of the one hundredth
anniversary Of the founding Of the city
which occurs next year
Last spring in a message to council
Mayor Robbins urged that the city oc-
operate in an appropriate observance
Of the city's centennial and council, at
its meeting on April 5, passed a resolu.
ton indorsing the undertaking of such
a project and instructing the mayor to
appoint a commission of citizens to ar
range for the celebration, which the
mayor did a short time later.
Before council passed this resolution
several members of that body suggest
ed that it would be advisable for the
city to contribute literally to fund
to meet the expenses of such a cele-
bration and it was the. understanding
that this should be done when the res
olution was passed e. 4 -
Several city officials, including coun-
cilmen, when asked recently why no
provision had been made in the tenta-

been made in the last i've years. Not

In the event council does not amend

for such an appropriation it is quite
possible that the centennial commits

!, Richmond is one of the oldest cities
in the state and caustic remarks were
heard today when 1t became generally
known that the city officials had been
so lacking in civic pride and public
spiritedness as to fail to give financial

Proposal OF a compromise. plan, 1t
Is hoped by the Commercial club di.
rectors, may result in an immediate
reduction OF insurance rates on mer.
camille risks, pending a re-survey of
the city by the Sellers rating bureau
The club will suggest that Rich
mond's business district be placed In
Glass No. 2, and that back charges
be made to Offset the shortage of five
men in the fire department, which the
bureau demanded before agreeing to
cut the rates. This would mean that
until survey for establishing rates
had been made, merchants would re-
ceive a reduction Of approximately six
per cent. on rates instead Of the full
Is per cent, which would be allowed
when the city was entered in class
No. 2.
This plan was tried in Indianapolis,
but failure Of the city to carry out
promises. caused difficulties.

WHO PAYS RENTAL
OF FIRE MIGRANTS 4?
B0CkHoFF INQUIRIES

Who shall pay for rental Of a fire
hydrant which protects the National
Automatic Tool company?
This question was propounded to
the directors of the Commercial club
last night by william Bockhoff, presi-
dent Of the concern. -
When the factory was located in
Beallview it was promised fire pro-
lection and the hydrant placed out.
side the city limits. Under existing
laws, the municipality can not pay the
rental, and the public service COM
mission has notified the water works
corporation that it must collect on the
hydrant, as not to do so would con-
stituto discrimination
To add to Mr.. Bockhoff's troubles,
other factories which are protected by
the same plug refuse to share the
rental.
