For country roads subjected
to horse and motor traffic, as

Hence the combination not only

The cost of roads will vary

In the improvement of pub

can resort with profit to GER
tain types of construction used
to the highest advantage in
other States.
In striving for efficiency and
economy all road work intended
TO be permanent should be di-
vided into two classes. These
are:
The restoration of old stone
roads.
The building Of new roads.
This division is important be-
cause many communities have
made the mistake of throwing
away thoroughly compacted old
stone roads when they could
have been utilized as founda-
tons for new asphalt bound

THROUGH A SEWER ON 4
MOTORCYCLE

Not since the fctional days of
Jean Vatican has a trip through
a sewer occupied so much space
in print as the one made recent
~ by the engineer of the newly
constructed 61a miles of sewer
at Pasadena, Cal. The trip was
an inspection tour and was made
on a motorcycle. To have walked
the full distance would have
taken several hours. So the enze
gineer conceived the plan Of
lowering a motorcycle into the
pipe at the cleanout hole in the
beginning Of the main artery
and making a trip de luxe. He
had never before ridden a mo.
torcycle. Hence he chose one
equipped with a tandem seat
and selected an experienced
driver.
A gas headlight on the mo-
torcycle illuminated the pas
sage. The distance was traver-,
.sed in two hours, in spite of the
numerous stops made to inves,
tigate walls and manhoQes.7E

more permanent binding materi-
al. Durability, freedom from
mud and dust and low nlainte-
nance on permanent types of
stone roads merely mean that
there has been substituted for
the rock dust binder of maca-
dam something that will stay
put under motor traffic a bind
er sufficiently tenacious to keep
the stone in place.
The economy of this becomes
especially pronounced when an
old stone road or street is used
as i foundation for a new as
phah-bound wearing top. New
wearing surfaces of asphalt ma
cadam can be placed for about
$4,000 per mile, or less than half
the cost of an entirely new stone
road of the permanent type. Ma
cadam roads when badly worn
must have a new covering of
stone in any event, and SO long
as this must be done the small
additional expense of a lasting
natural asphalt binder repre-
sents an important economy.

nor old macadem and stone

Where taxpayers still persist in
building new macadem roads
or seek to maintain at reason
able cost those already built
they are engaged in a fruitless
and extravagant undertaking. It
cannot be done economically
where roads are subject to mo-

mile per year shows the futility
Of further effort in this direc-
ton. The figures given are not
exaggerated. Where less mon
ey is spent it usually means that
the roads are not kept in per-
feet repair.
A very small investment will,
however, put macadam roads

GEORGE SELLECK VILE
GET HIS COMMISSION

The case of George Selleck, Lancas-
ter real estate man, VS. John B. Gar
side, Patch Grove farmer, in which
Selleck sued for commission on the
negotiation Of the sale of Garsides
farm Of fifty acres, came up for trial
last Monday. Kopp & Bruckhorst ap-
peared for Selleck and M. Casey for
Garside.
Witnesses testified that Selleck had
produced John Leamy, since deceased,
as a purchaser Of the land. That Sell
leck was to get two per cent commits
sion on deal of 1900, or $14O, Leamy
paid down $50 and later paid $500 but
died soon after and his widow, as ex-
ecutrix, refused to complete the deal.
Garside kept the money and declined
to pay the commission as the deal had
not gone through.
To the question for special verdict
after the land contract was execut-
ed in the bank Cat Bloomington did
the defendant, Garside, say to Selleck
when the parties were by the auto1no-
bile in front of the bank, that he, Gar
side, would pay his commission when
the 5000 payment was made?" The
Jury's answer was: Yes.

WHAT A NEW WATER
TANK WOULD COST.

aJGshrdl etaoin shrdl cmfwy shrdlucm
Ed Stephens, engineer at the water
works, recently wrote the Chicago
Bridge & Iron Works for figures on a
new standpipe. The concern in reply
gave an estimate for a 100000 and a
100000 gallon tank.
Their specification called for a tank
mounted on steel stills with a central
pipe for both intake and Outgo, all
built entirely Of steel The approx
mate cost of the 100000 gallon tank
set up would be $12,8OO. The cost of
the larger tank is placed at $4,000.
The present tank is 16 feet across and
u feet in height It has a capacity
Of 100000 gallons.
While the above figures apply to a
tank OF considerably larger capacity
than Lancaster needs or is likely to
need, it illustrates why the city offic-
ials are making every effort to keep
the present pipe working and to save
the taxpayers a large sum of money.

INDEPEND'S LOSE PLACE
RULING FROM ATTORNEY GENER-
AL DEPRIVES IND. DEMOCRATS
OF PLACE ON BALLOT.

According to a ruling received by
the county clerk Monday, from the at
torney generals office at Madison, the
democrats placed in nomination to
make an independent race, will have
no place on the ballot. The reason
follows:
The law up until recently specified
that nominations might be received
until twenty days before election. This
gave the democrats until the 18th OF
October to get their papers in. The
legislature met in a special session
the early part of this month and
amended the election law so that nom
ination papers be filed not later than
thirty days prior to election. This
law went into effect following publiz
cation on October 13t5l The papers
were turned into the county clerk by
October 18th, but bore only 154 names.
Three days later another set Of pa
pers came in bearing the requisite
number of signatures, but the period
had passed according to the ruling
furnished by the attorney general on
Monday, when the names could be
placed on the ballot.
The law requires at least three per
cent OF the vote cast for governor al
the preceding election This vote
was $3.50 in Grant county on the dem
ocratic ticket. Three per cent of this
amount is 100. AS only 154 names
were filed with the nomination papers
on October 18th, each bearing the same
number, the nominees, according to
the attorney general could not go on
the ballot.
