Start Of Big Campaign.

- ~-~esF-.8
The announcement by Secretary
Houston is the FIRST step in the fed
eral governments part of spending
$780, 900 on good roads during the
next FIVE years in cooperation with
the states. A circular will be sent t.
all the governors and state highway
authorities outlining q tentative plan
OF procedure.
The $l50,000000 is to be paid, half
by the government and half by the
several states. apportioned among
the latter according to their respec-
tive area, population and rural mail
route mileage.
The expenditures are authorized by
the Shackleford- Bankhead good roads
law, the first granting federal aid to
states In road building. II was signed
July II by President Wilson and
government officials are preparing to
put it, provisions into early opera
iion. Actual construction OF some Of
the roads may begin this fall and cx-
tensive construction next spring is
planned.
Appropriations for the present
year. ending July /, 1917. authorized
by congress are $S,00000o. For the
four succeeding years they are, re.
spectively, $4,000, 900, $4,000, 600,
1000 and $2y, 100000. The law
provides, however, that no govern.
ment money shall be available unless
the states spend an equal amount,
matching the government contribu.
tons dollar for dollar.
States Pay Maintenance.
Every cent Of the federal and state
funds. the act provides, shall be spent
to build new roads. Maintenance
costs thereafter must be borne BY
the states alone.
Rules and regulations to put the
federal aid law, as II Is popularity
known, into prompt operation are
now being drafted by the secretary
OF agriculture, upon whom devolves
practically the entire work OF super
vising the government expenditures.
Immediate supervision will be BY the
ofice Of public roads and rural en-.
cheering, Of which Logan Waller
Page is director.
A conference Of highway repre.
sentatives Of all states and, possibly,
OF organizations interested in the
good roads movement, engineering
experts and others, to discuss meas
ures for promulgating the new law
= planned soon by Secretary Hous-
ton.
Routes and construction materials
OF the new roads are to be finally de.
termined by the secretary Of aari.
culture. No public road can be bull,
under the law until its location, cost
and character are approved by him
Every road project with plans, speci.
fications and cost estimates must be
given his approval before any OF the
federal money shall be available
There IS no specific requirement tina,
such roads shall be permanent, bui
the act declares they shall be "sub.
stantial in character" the secretary
being given discretion to construe the
question of substantiability in each
separate case.
$4,000 Per Mile.
A limit Of $4,000 per mile, how.
ever, is the maximum fixed BY the
law to prevent use of the government,
funds in building costly boulevards
which would not assist in rural de.
velopment.

tion of the plants in view of the fact
that the City Health Department is
insisting upon the treatment of the
offal from the infected houses before
the drainage reaches the sewers, be-
cause the epidemic has passed, be-
cause there are no new cases, because
there are no towns down stream which
obtain their water supplies from the
Susquehanna which do not filter their
water, and because of the heavy ex-
pense.
To-day Mr.. Lynch announced that
the temporary plants had been torn
down and the paraphernaiia re-

Beyond question of a doubt Head
Coach Charlie DAILY has brought his
West Point gridiron squad up to a
state of efficiency that eXcels any
thing the Army has seen in many sea-
sons past. West Points record this
season places the outfit almost on a
footing with the great teams of Pitts
burgh and Brown for the premier
honors of the east.
The Army has not only met and
trumphed over many eastern teams,
but has taken the measure of Coach

few refuse them credit of having one
OF the greatest squads in the acad-
emy's history.

pers president of the American
Federation of Labor, is openly
opposed to the law and many of
the labor leaders of the state
are supporting Mr.. Gompers in
this position. Certain labor ag
itators are supporting Judge

the repeal of the law. They
