Children discovered a blaze from
an oil lamp in a tent house at the
corner of Fourth and Orange streets
last night, at 1870, and raised an

The owner of the house was absent

the lamp outside. In his haste he

appreciate what was behind the food
riots in New York Tuesday. The one
big thing hOwIed against by Amer

other things have been pulled off

Under the provisions Of the act
which appropriates these amounts the
aid from the government can be used
only for the purpose of construction
and no part of it can be used for pur-
chasing right of way, for engineering
cost, or any other preliminary work.
The law provides further that the
state must spend at least an equal sum
for the same purpose, the road must be
continuous, and must, therefore, be
part Of trunk line system, the plans
for which are subject to approval by
the United States Commissioner of
Agriculture.
In order to secure federal aid 1t is
necessary for the state to undertake
the building Of system Of trunk line
roads as separate PROJECT and rec
ommend that you appropriate a sum
of money for this purpose which will
equal the sums that will be contribut-
ed by the United States government.
Insomuch as the counties in which
these trunk lines will be located will
be especially benefited, I recommend
further that you pass a law that will
require appropriations In an equal sum
by such counties, the same tosbe ap-
portioned among the counties upon a
mileage basis.
II this plan is followed we will ex-
pend over $6,000,000 In the construc-
ton of federal aid roads in the next
five years. The appropriation passed
by the last legislature provides for an
annual expenditure of $785,000 in state
aid. If we add the contributions made
by the counties and towns we will
spend over $12,O00,000 under that sys-
tenn during the same period. The
sums that | have named, plus the
money that is being expended by coun-
ties Independent of state aid, will give
our road building organization as
much work as it can intelligently sup
ervise.
Education.
The law which provides for the en-
ployment of supervising teachers in
our rural schools is beneficial and is
admitted by educators to be an adj
vance step in rural education. | be-
lieve, however, that we will improve

will derive from it if we require some
snecial training as a qualification for
this position.

One of the fundamental theories you

opposite and equal reaction"
Well, apply it. When the car stops,
