after which there will be no more need
for much OF any bridge tax In Cerro
3Gortio county. This is real demon
stration OF the economy and saving In
building permanent bridges and carry
ing the cost with bonds until the reg
ular takes can take care Of II. Har-
rison county. which has never done
much permanent work spent $4,000
last year on temporary bridges and
repairs which was more than it's en-
tire bridge fund. In other words Hnr-
tison's policy has led 1t into lebt for
maintenance while Cerro Gordo has
invested in permanent work and Is
soon to be on easy street.
However, the board should show
more progress in road grading. There
will be $4,000 In the county road fund
this year. We ought to put some roads
to permanent grade with that much
money and not have to go back again
to do work over again. We have spent
$4,000 on county roads in the past two
years without putting one mile to per-
manent grade yet. We will never get
any roads at that rate. To gravel a
bad stretch of road is good policy pro-
vided the grade is permanent but no
surfacing should ever be put on a tenn
porary grade. II the county would set
aside the auto money for crawling
each year and call for donations a
great deal of new money could be Sc
cured for surfacing which would be

not. Next year this levy will be cut
to half a mill and hereafter those who
pay for sewers win get them. Their
general sewer tax will be cut $1.00 or
more per annum for the sewers they
do not get and the new special assess
ment will cost $500 per annum for
seven years after which the property
assessed will be done with its sewer
tax. @"N
At first there will be some inequal-
ity. Property improved with sewers
within the past few years which has
been on the assessment rolls as inn
proved property only a short time will
get some of it's sewers without paying
full cost Old property which has been
paying sewer taxes for twenty to thirty
years has long ago paid more than its
share of sewer tax and will be re-
lieved. New property in need OF sewers
now and lately placed on the assess
ment rolls as improved property VIII
pay for what it gets. Sewers arc like
sidewalks in that most of the benefits
are special and should be paid by the
property on the street which Is served.

Paving which carries vehicle ira ffic
largely benefits nearby property in that
property values are always lifted when
streets are improved but there is also
a distinct public benefit in street paw
ing. Everybody in town uses paving
with his own vehicle or else he pays
for the coal and the produce hauled
over it. Most of the paving projected
for this year will be assessed under
the special district plan whereby abut-
ting property pays for its own bene-
fit but other property nearby also pays
for some small share of the cost and
then the city at large comes in for its
share wherever the cost seems to be
in excess of the actual benefit to prop
erty in special instances.

Property owners whose names ap-
pear in the official publication should

, ance for the deductions which the
council intends TO make In the final
assessments. II there seems to be an
alarming excess Of benefit In the sched-
uie OF cost the property owner should
go peaceably to the city council and
request that an adjustment be made In
I his case. The plan is to improve Mar
shalltown and let the city grow. Be-
fore the seven years of assessments
roll by many mans farm VIII
have grown up to modern resi-
dences but there is no intention to
place unjust burdens upon anyone,
The paving district law provides
general fund to be used in relieving
property from its excess of paving tax
burden. The real problem is one OF
personal opinion as to what the bene-
fit to the property really is and how
much of the cost should be considered
as excess to be paid out of the general
fund. s53, .a.

The board of supervisors is to be
commended for it's present intention
to build the rest of the permanent
bridges which are needed for this
year. These permanent bridges of
masonry will last 100 years or more
and if we can't pay for all of them out
of this years taxes there will be no
harm done in carrying some of the ex-
pense over to future taxes. Cerro
Gordo county began building perman-
ent bridges ten years ago. A few bonds
were issued at first. Today the bonds
have been paid and the engineers es-
innate is that the current bridge tax
will completely bridge that county
with masonry in another five years

ed the dredges can keep well ahead
of any possible motion in this mass,
provided the east bank is quiescent
or nearly so.
LAS soon as this office feels that
sufficient information on these two
points is at hand to justify it, a pre-
diction will be made. In the mean
time it is recommended the canal be
not considered in the routing of ship
ping. The work of restoration of
the canal is, however, proceeding
most favorably. The office has in
mind the desire of commerce to re-
sumo navigation through the canal

given to shippers in order that prepa-
ratfons for such routing may be ade-
quate.

Railroad Strike Threatens
The Nations Industrial Life

to act Individually with individual
roads. If one road in district were
paying higher wages than another
an attempt would be made to bring
the wages of the latter road up to
the level of the other. In 1911 there
came a change. The engineers in
that year made demands upon all the
railroads of the east and won an in
crease of $7,500,000 through arbitra-
ton. Then in turn followed the
trainmen, conductors and firemen,
each dealing with the eastern group
of railroads and each in turn winning
increase in wages.
Next the engineers and hremen IN
the west made demands on the west
ern group of roads, and increases
were granted, which brought the
wages in both zones about to a level.
Now the four organizations have
combined to make common cause in
the east and west, so that every road
will be equally affected and at the
same precise time.
1t is not the plan of the union
leaders to involve the passenger SER
vice of the roads in the beginning at
least. This will keep them out OF
all ENGAGEMENTS with the United
States government for interfering
with the transport9 ton of the mail

or 80 feet from the bow, the black
fin of a monster fish showed on the
top of the water, there was a CLEAN

CANNOT PREDICT THE
OPENING OF THE CANAL
GOETHELS STATES CONDITIONS
ARE NOW UNCERTAIN. WANT
CHANNEL ASSURED.

notwithstanding regarding
the movement of slides in Gaillard
cut prevents a prediction as to when
the Panama canal can be reopened,
said a statement issued today by Gov.
Goethals, of the zone. The statement
reads:
ut is not intended to reopen the
canal until a safe and prescribed per-
manent channel is reasonably assured.
This cannot be assured at present, as
although the operations of the
dredges during the past four months
have shown that they are able, when
not interrupted in the work by the
passage of ships or by the clearing
of the channel for navigation, to gain
on the slides and it is desired to have
a reasonable assurance that they can
maintain this gain even with the de-
lay from the above causes.
1T is hoped that before long bet
ter information on the two main con-
trolling features will be available.
The large mass of rock at the base
of Gold hill on the east bank is being
carefully observed. If the materials
behind it move nOrthwardly, as is not
unlikely, one danger of interruption
to navigation will be removed.

He Is Preparing to Swat the Pcsky
Insect knockout Blow.
ATLANTA EntomolOgist
Worsham returned from Washington
and was preparing Tuesday the de-
tails of a campaign to swat the boil
weevil such a blow as the pesky in
sect has never been walloped before.
And in connection with this he stated
that a bill is pending in congress to
allow the federal chronological bu-
reau $4,000 so that it can place two
bug experts in Georgia, one now be-
ing located at Thomasville.
Mr.. Worsham said that 1915 had
been an unprecedented year for boil
weevil activity. During that time the
insect invaded $4,000 square miles
of new territory-an altogether too
large portion of this area being in
Georgia. Heretofore its greatest
years range has been $4,000 square
miles, the average being about half of
this.
The open winter, added Mr.. Wor-
sham, would make the boil weevil
danger for Georgia planters a great
one this year, and, in anticipation Of
this his department is planning an
early and vigorous campaign to check
the ravages of the destructive insect.
Cooperation in this work has been
assured him by the federal authori-
ties, and every effort will be made to
keep damage to the cotton crop this
year at minimum.
