JONES SPENDS $45, 1873 IN 1916
TO MAINTAIN COUNTY'S TURNP|kES

The total cost of maintenance of
the county's 40 miles of free turn
pixies under the supervision of w. o.
Jones in 1915 was $45,193.21. The
cost last year OF maintaining 312 miles
was $38,S17.9O. The average cost per
miles was reduced last year from $124
to $110. With new roads accepted, the
total number OF miles of county free
turnpikes Is now 1886.
Every mile of road in the county
was repaired and placed in first class
condition. The balance left in the
road fund, Jan. l. was s6,306.94. A
comparison of the average mainten-
ance costs of the county's free turn
pixies for seven years shows that since
highway superintendent was placed
in charge, the average upkeep expense
has increased from $50 mile to the
present rates. This is due to the
fact that the roads are kept in better
repair and will never have to be COM

the builders. 1t was on the first Miss

the Pacific to Japan and open the
commerce of that country to America
and the world.
"The first Mississippi won great re-
nown for both the navy itself and the

Its record was always an inspiration
to the second Mississippi. and the

trod by another sea fighter who was
destined to become a world figure.
Lieut.. George Dewey was executive
officer of the Mississippi when she
helped Farragut to fight his way East
the forst below New Orleans and
forced the formidable Confederate
Ram Manassas to run aground and
then destroyed her with a couple Of
broadsides. Later the Mississippi ran
aground during the bold attack on Fort
Hudson, where she caught fire and
finally blew up. Capt. Smith, in his
report, commended Lieut. Dewey for
his coolness and gallantry on this oc-
casion."
The second Mississippi rendered
her service in time of peace, continued
the secretary. She was authorized in
1903 and was sold to Greece on July
s, 1914.
The new Mississippi, Mr. Daniels
said, will have ten times the displace-
ment of the first Mississippi and her
batteries will have one thousand times

That he favored the retention Of the
present form Of city government, pm-
viding q system for non-partisan eAsc-
lions could be provided. was the state.
ment made by City Attorney Bond TO-
day at a meeting of the board OF pub

Bond expressed the hope that the

ing the practice Of each political party
nominating ticket for city elections.
He said he favored having this l.aw
provide for the nomination of oply
one ticket, a non.partisan one, the two
candidates for each office who rect stv-
ed the greatest number Of votes be ing
the nominees whose names would ap-
pear on the ballots for the general
election.
The city attorney said that in his
opinion q commission form or city
manager form Of government would
not be any better than the PREF lent
system of municipal government. pro-
viding the present system was divorc-
ed from the evil Of partisan politics.
