ESTIMATING COST OF ROADS
Much Depends on Type Of construe
tlon and Amount Of Grading TO
Be lonesome Figures.

The cost OF a road Is dependent
upon not only the type OF construction
but the amount and character OF
grading TO be done, the cost OF labor
and materials. the width and thick.
ness OF surfacing. the character and
amount OF drainage required, and
other factors OF equal variability.
Based upon general averages. II has
been ascertalned by highway special
lists OF the department that under
average conditions macadam roads can
be built In southern states at from
$4,000 to $4,000 per mile, gravel roads
at from $500 to $4,000 per mile, and
sand-clay and topsoil roads at from
$500 to $1,000 per mile
In New England and the other east

Gentlemen
There is a fair green spot in the

more than a century one of the
real ornaments Of Newark, and
you, gentlemen, by virtue of your
Office are the guardians-succes-

preservation in the past.
This beautiful green sward is
now in great danger of becoming
Just bare, ugly dirt because the

thoughtless school children and
sundry lazy people who are using
the lawn as a short cut from Acad'
envy street to Main street.

IS:
We are all well and according to

progress of the city manager plan of

items from Germany telling us of the
Teutonic way of electing mayors
of advertising for them all over the
empire and giving trained man the
position regardless of residence, poll
tics or what not! Now the idea
seems far less startling. We are not
as yet thinking of advertising for
our mayors. but in conjunction with
the commission form of government
or modification of that form we are
slowly developing the science OF city
managing and the profession of the
city manager.
A City Managers association came
into existence q few weeks ago. The

The Luxurious Gypsy.

Gone are the days of the gypsy
wagon, except for the ones who are
the most unsuccessful in crossing
palms with silver. lifting ten dollar
bills from unsuspicious vest pockets,
and helping currency of all denom-
nations to disappear from tills,
money drawers ana inviting wrist
bags. Nowadays when only the least
prosperous are without motor cars,
the most prosperous gypsy drives
about in his automobile also. This
forenoon an automobile load of gyp-
sizes with all camping contrivances,
such as tents, pans, kettles, ETC.,
passed down Second, street. The car
which was seven passenger one
was driven by a dark brown gypsy
while in the tonneau on top the
camping equipment were perched a
half dozen little unwashed. uncomb-
ed, darker brown gypsies. Verify,
the old nursery rhyme has come true
IF wishes were horses
Beggars might ride
That is just what they are doing.

Protecting the Home.

Ohio State Journal: Home streets
should be sacred to homes and they
should be protected from the invas-
ion of all kinds of business. The
home is the climax of urban activity,
and it should never be sacrificed to
commerce or industry of any kind.
A city wounds itself when it harms
a home. And so there should be
regulations and ordinances to pro-
tect the homes against business.
Business can take care of itself; the
home can't. A happy home, the
most useful and honorable thing in
community, loses its high charac-
ter if shop of some kind is stuck
up alongside it. Yes, 1t is neces'
sary for man to make living
but it is not right to make other peo'
pie unhappy in doing it. We sim
ply suggest that there is ample room
here for a salutary regulation.

Sentiment is Changing.

Fort Dodge Messenger: In Fort
Dodge every saloon petition that ev-

Many business men 1thought the sa-
looms helped bring in trade for them.
They said more liquor would be sold
without than with saloons. Three
months after the repeal of the mulct
law went into effect in Fort Dodge
practically all of those merchants ad-
mitted they had been mistaken
that the saloons were destructive
from every standpOint-and vowed
that they never would sign their
names or give their votes to bring
them back to the community, and
that they were for whatever law en-
forcement or legislation is necessary
Ito wipe out the bootleggers.

One Baby Dies in New York Every
Forty Minutes.

New York, July 24.-One baby
died of infantile paralysis in New
York every forty minutes Saturday.
Another infant was stricken with
the deadly disease every ten minutes.
With thirty-nine deaths and 135
new cases. the epidemic once more
assumed plague proportions. With
the arrival in the city today OF DR..
Simon Flexner, it is probable that
more strenuous propylaxis measures
will be announced by the health au-
thorities.
DR.. Flexner will confer with DR..
Alvah II. Doty, custodian of the $685.
600 Rockefeller fund. He will prob
ably meet Health Commissioner DR..
Haven Emerson also.
Both DR.. FleXner and DR.. Doty
have been assured Of the financial
support up to any amount by the,
Rockefeller foundation. John d.
Rockefeller himself is greatly inter-
ested in the campaign and is said to
have asked DR.. Flexner to spur the
relief institute psychologists on in
their efforts to evolve a remedy.
Saturdays figures brought the to-
tai number of deaths to 555 and the
total of cases 2,745. These do not
jibe with totals given out by the
health department, but official
searching of the records yesterday
proved them to be correct.

block, the inside lot assessments be-
ing approximately $6666 per lot. 1t
appears to the Freeman-Tribune this
is more equitable than to force the
icorner lot to pay the entire $500.
Just how far benefits of paving ex-
tends to property is difficult to say
But it certainly extends further than
the imaginary lot lines. Suppose
there were no lot lines. Suppose
each block was one lot, does anybody
contend that only the first so or go
feet of such lot is benefited by paw
ling? In many cities the lots are only
20 feet, and is it to be contended
that the benefit of cross street paw
ing reaches only twenty feet because
of the imaginary boundary lines?
The Chase law is not what the
Freeman Tribune would prefer, but
lit is preferable to the old law The
Freeman-Tribune believes half of the
cost Of cross street paving and all
of the cost of intersections should
be paid from the general or improve
ment fund. In Illinois the cities pay
one-third Of all paving and that plan
appears to be more equitable than
the plan in Iowa which gives coun-
ellis power to make few property
owners pay for all the Improvement
Senator Chase tried to get a bill
through the general assembly re.
curing cities to pay for street
intersections, alley intakes, and
part of the cross street paving
but the cities and contractors were
against that plan and defeated it.
Mr.. Chase then did the best he could
and we believe people who look at
the matter unprecedented by person
al interest will agree that the pres
ent law is better than the one it sue
ceeds.
The Freeman-T Tribune has for sew
eral years tried to get law enact
ed giving city councils the power tC
go ahead and put in paving If ma
iority of the property owners were
willing and if bids of contractors
were unsatisfactory. Several bills
embodying this principle to some ex-
tent have been before the general as
| lol,h -,
has always been able to defeat them
