WAR WILL NOT STOP
BASEBALL ON COAST
(By United Press)

San Francisco, May 5.--Pacifit
Coast League officials and owners
have decided that, war or no war
the fans will have baseball during
1918 providing the fans show an ap-
petite for it. President Baum declares
that the people will want baseball
next season, but if they don't all they
will have to do is to stay at home and
they won't get any.
81 think Ban Johnson made a big
mistake in stating that majors will
close down next year." Baum de-
clared. 81 see no reason for him
taking such a step. Do you think
Charley Comiskey, controlling a'$l,-
100000 investment in Chicago, will
close his gates if the people want
baseball. Johnson should have thought
twice before expressing himself in
such a manner"

florists improved roads to Buffalo.
New Jersey. with splendidly
maintained group of macadamized

Rockland county, in this state. This
small county ran out OF state highway
money two years ago. With the as.
signment of federal aid a most desir.
able connection with New Jersey is
possible.

frequency of travel between the Elm.
pire State and Connecticut. II Is in
tereSting TO note that this traffic
converges al a few points in West

miles north, where macadam is laid
from Millerton easterly.

FEDERAL ASSISTANCE
MEANS MUCH TO ROADS

Edwin Duffey. New York State Com
missioner OF Highways. has written
for the International News Service the
following article on what federal gov
eminent aid will mean as contribut.
Ing factor in interstate highway work:
BY Edwin Ouffey,
Commissioner of Highways. New York
State.
With the release of the first unit
from the S75,OOO.OOO appropriation an.
proved by the United States govern
ment for aid to the state in road
building. New York State has held
out to II an offer of approximately
S4,OO0,00O. II the state takes advan-
take of this sum and appropriates a
like amount, the resultant $4,000. 600
will be a fund additional to the S1OO,.
100000 voted by the people of this
state for the improvement of its road
system.
The situation is of more than state
wide importance. as the fund thus es.
tablished would aid materially in sup.
plying moneys TO improve roads
leading out of New York. AS an ex.
ample, Chautauqua county, large in
area, and containing heavy mileage
on its county and state highway sys-
tens, faces a deficit for both of these
groups OF roads from the bond issue
moneys. With the allotment of New
York of this supplemental 100000,
equivalent to approximately $50 miles
