ONE FOR ALL SORTS or vEHI.
Giles TO EXECUTE.

The Dimmick hill improvement, the
greatest engineering feat undertaken
by the state highway department, has
been completed and the road is now
open to traffic. Scores Of cars went
over the hill Sunday, altho the road
is not officially opened. The guard
fence OH the sixtyfoo fill will proba-
bly, be completed today.
Dimmick hill is 1900 feet long. The
roadway is built of concrete and
brick on nine per cent grade.
The improvement of Dimmick hill
was commenced four years ago when
convicts were placed to work on the
job, but on account of poor super.
vision and lack of engineers, much
of the work done was wasted The
penitentiary supervisor would not
take orders from those who paid the
bills. Finally their services were dis
posed with after about $500 had
been expended by Ottawa business
men in cutting down the hill.
The board of supervisors next or.
dered the Improvement OF the road
under the state aid plan and contracts
were subsequently let for the i'm.
provement for $4,000 The state en-
gineers had been asked to make the
Improvement on nine per cent grade
but after the contract was let and
work started 1t was found that the
contract had been let on a IL per cent
grade Protests were Immediately
filed and members of the Safe High
way Commission was called here and
after months of delay the contract
was re-let for $4,000
The contractor who had taken the
Deer Park and Starved Rock road
contracts failed and another long de-
lay was experienced The bonding
company, together with the State
Highway Commission entered into
contract with the Public Service Co.
of Omaha Neb, to finish the Job. II
is claimed that II cost the bonding
company $4,000 over and above the
original contract to complete the
work
Dimmick hill opens up the south en-
trance to the Starved Rock State
Park. 1t is the east entrance to The
Canyon drive and is a link In the lv,
Way which has just been designated
by federal state aid road on which
$2,2l5,0 900 Is to be expended.
The board of supervisors will de
eide this week whether this great i'm
provement Is to be made or not. Th
failure Of any one county to provid
for this Improvement defeats the en-
tire project Representatives OF tn
state will appear before the board

the addresses show the company and
regiment Of the name Of the separate
units to which the soldier belongs.
Postmaster General Burleson de
rected postmasters Monday to return
to senders all mail not addressed in
that manner.
The American postal agency in
France has been swamped with mail
bearing such addresses as Some
where in France" "Care the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Forces" etc. 1t
has been found impossible by the
postal authorities with available facili-
ties to undertake the location of men
to whom letters are addressed with
out specific company and regiment
designations, as commands are scat
tered and opportunities to exchange
mail between the different units are
limited.
Postal authorities in France, Eng
land and Canada have taken similar
action.
