That they are professionals in their
line is the belief Of officers as well as
Col Dwyer, after an investigation Of
their work in the Dwyer home At
least they appeared to have been per
fectly at home and to have taken their
own sweet time about their operations.
After going through all drawers in the
house and emptying the contents on
the floor, they proceeded into the kitch-

for lunch. This was spread, with the

After luncheon, presumably. their
trail led into the bath room where
with Col Dwyer's razor and accesso-

portions Of the house have evidence
that they had changed their clothing

lold fashioned Sunday renovating. Al

More Electric Light.

IN the opinion of f. d. Shaffer, mana
ger OF the Chickasha Gas and Electric
company the facilities for handling the
situation that would be brought about
by the location of a cantonment here,
are excellent The electric plant can
furnish at this time about 500 lilowats
which, up to this time, is more than is
consumed by the city It is under
stood that the government would re-
ouire about 1000 kilowatts for the can
tonment necessitating considerable en-
largement Of the present plant.
"In the event Of the location Of the
arny camp here, it would, believe in
crease the requirements of Chickasha
proler, to something like 900 or 700
K;owatts7 said Mr. Shaffcr In addi-
tion to this would be required the 1000
kilowatts for the cantonment. The ad-
Gition e theaneeessary equipment re-
quiied to produce the electricity need
ed, would. ] believe, be only matter
Of detail We would be compelled to
put in second hand apparatus for the
reason that we could not purchase new

do very readily and at the same time

would be placed at the water plant"

CAUSE OF BAD ROADS
TOLD BY TAXPAYERS
,.sensus of Opinion Is That Whit
IAN County Has Not Gotten Sat
isfactory Results for Money
Spent

uombers of the executive and road
nmittees and other interested tax
ors were asked for their opinion
!, tho reason why our roads are in
I'm moor condition. The following
!. The result as compiled by Prof. o..
l. Waller
After using and studying our roads
i, a series of years the public has
learned--
THAT repair work on earth roads
/. usually done too late and after
mo ground is fairly dry and when
no earth hauled into the road will
not pack.
That frequently after such repairs
mo roads are worse than before the
work was done.
That loose dirt hauled onto the
highway does not make good road
That the drainage of our roads is
iudifferently looked after.
That the practice of dragging the
,oads should become more general
and that it should be done while the
road is yet wet so as to puddle the
surface.
That water bound macadam goes
n nieces and will not stand heavy
traffic.
That gravel, where the gravel is of
proper sizes, makes a reasonably
good road.
That sand spread on our heavier
dirt roads makes them c-2irly good
most of the year.
That many observers believe that
broken rock from q inch size down,
spread upon our heavier roads,
would be equal to gravel.
That if roads are to be kept in
good repair permanent maintenance
crows must be put onto them so that
repairs may be made when repairs
are first needed and not after many
dollars worth of damage has been
DONE
That some one officer in the
county should have entire charge of
the road work.
That under the present system We
can never hope to have our road
money economically and wisely eX-
pended.
That during the last few years we
have spent several millions trying to
improve our roads. And that the
actual results in most instances are
disappointing; plainly we have not
received full value for our money.
Shall we go on making the same
old mistakes under the same old sys-
TEN, or shall we ask our com mission
ers to make an investigation of the
causes that have led to unsatisfact-
Dry results in road construction and
IN road maintenance and upon the
information SO gathered organize our
road forces on a basis Of getting a
dollars worth of road for each dol
lar expended.
Next year we have about one-half
million dollars to spend on roads and
bridges in this county. What will
we get for it?-The Tax Bulletin.
