ABOUT PUBLIC ROADS
20 Feet is REQUIRED by Law--Country
Roads and Bridges Should be Kept

To the Editor Of The Rohesonian:
The rural policeman was through
this section a few days ago giving
orders that people must give 20 feet
for public roads, which is law. and is
all right, because people should give
4 plenty of road.
Now this is a public road through
here for two reasons, Why? Be-
cause it is public highway enc be-
cause it is kept up by the people who
live beside it.
| | Furthermore, people are paying
road taxes almost without limit and
to think we can not get a few of the
dangerous bridges fixed. The entire
amount is paid out on building big
roads from town to town. People
have gone and stated such matters
to our honorable road trustees an6
they seem to pay no attention to il
at all whatever. 1 for one sure dc
think they should have enough SYM.
pathy for our mail carrier, who has
to drive every day over the many
dangerous bridges and the numer
Gus holes, to look after such.

FOURTH AVENUE: PAVING. MATTER
 IS NOT SETTLED
Amended Plan May Prove Acceptable to Opposing
 Large Property Owners

Although opponents of the prOpo- sition to pave and beautify West Fourth avenue. between Main stre at and the city limits have been of the impression the past few days that the proposition had been abandoned, property owners who have been most active in efforts to carry the plan through have not abaneoned the idea, and it was announced yesterday that it is not unlikely something definite may be determined Monday, in this direction.
 It is known that the objections of two or three of the larger property owners were instrumental in the ap. parent defeat of the original plan, and that they had succeeded in pre- property owners to oppose the propo sitiin. These property owners, how ever, it is believed, will favor the pay ing and beautifyiug of Foutrh avenue frora Chestnut street 10 the western limits of the city.
 Between Chestnut street and Main street. there are only business houses, and some of the large property own CTS believe this section of the street need not be parked and paved win asphalt
 Adam J. Robinson, member of tho committee Of property owners who favor the pavement of the entire district, conferred yesterday with a member of tho opposition who said he would talk With the othor men anl givc him decision Monday.
 If they will not add their signr.- tures to these of the other property owners, an effort will be eXerted to get the street paved as an exclusive residence district, which in truth t is. from Chestnut to Linden. Between these streets 20-foot pavement would be built with eight or ten feet of parking on each side of the rail- road tracks.
 The fact that the Iron Mountain will aid the district very materially makes it possible to have the work done at an extremely low cost It will be a matter of great regret, Mr. Robinson believes, if this opportunity is allowed to pass by neglected.

 Mrs. Vaughn prov oked laughter hv saying, in her reply, that "proba bly, most of the articles written about conservation in the home as an econ-- omic measure are written by men who most likely have cigars between their lips at the time, CT pipe lying conveniently near" and attributed to this probability the absence of stress on economy in the use of tobacco. However, she added, food conser- vaticn is really ., E'ost important question at this timc, for the reason that if the war continues for three years extravaganza in this matter will result in such a scarcity that money cannot buy it.
