REPORT OF VIEWERS
FAVORS CEMENT ROAD
IN CENTER HIGHWAY

After much delay, viewers for the
Dunbar road-that section of the
National highway in Center township
extending west from the central part
of Centerville to the Jackson Hill
school house-turned in a favorable
report on the improvement to county
commissioners today
This means that two and one-half
miles more of the National road in
Wayne county will be cemented with
in the next two years. Viewers esti-
mated that the improvement will cost
$48,1S5.
Worst Section Of Road.
Surveyor Peacock said today that
this is the worst section of the Nation
al road between Richmond and India
napolis and that its improvement is
badly needed. The other viewers
were K D. CofieId and Hiram Cook.
Mr. Cofield said that he had held out
a long time before consenting to the
report because he cannot convincs
himself that the improvement is worth
the money it will cost
Contracts were let last summer for
cementing the highway through Jack
son township and through the eastern
part of Center township. When these
improvements have been made and the
Dunbar road has been cemented there
will remain a mile of unimproved
road extending east from the Jackson
Center township line. Because Gen.
ter township is dangerously near its
tax limit, this mile cannot be improved
for several years to come.

PUBLISHERS STUDY
THE DISTRIBUTION
OF PAPER SUPPLY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Newspa-
per publishers, news print manufac-
turers and paper dealers met here to-
day with the Federal trade commits
sion to work out a plan Of equitable
distribution Of the American and Can
adian news print supply, and if pos
sible to arrive at an agreement con-
corning prices and an increase in
production.
The meeting was called by the trade
commission and the suggestion of
manufacturers. The trade commits
sion is in no position to fix RESPONSE
bility for the shortage, it was declared.
Smaller publishers asked the com
mission to fix fiat price for news
print in addition to planning equitable
distribution. Jobbers denied any re-
sponsibility for conditions and de-
clared publishers were panic stricken.
They said there was no such shortage
as reported, that jobbers were not
making any greater profits than in
the last fifteen years and they were
willing to cooperate in any way
possible.

LICENSE;
TWO TO COV|NCTGN

This was set for the wedding day
and Of course the mere fact that a
license could not be obtained at the
Wayne county clerks Office would not
be permitted to cause pOstponement
Of the event.
At 10 o'clock a handsome young
man led blushing young woman into
the clerks Office. A marriage license
was the aim. But the target" was
obscured by that Indiana law which
forbids the issuing of license where
the woman has not lived in the state
thirty days. She gave her home as
Milwaukee, Wis.
The problem was solved when the
ticket agent at the Pennsylvania sta
tion informed the man that there was
plenty of time to get to Covington,
KY, before the marriage license Office
closed.

assembled, shells piled and everything
was in readiness for the moment
