FISHER THANKS
LOAN WORKERS
Highway Leader of Indiana
County Says That State Will
Now Come Out of the Mud

The tremendous favorable vote
given the proposed constitutional
amendment which will permit the
state to borrow S50,000,000 for road
purposes is attributed by the Asso-
ciated Highways Organization of
Pennsylvania, which backed the prop
osition, to the fact that the state at
large has tired of unpernSanent main
roads. Figures received by the as
sociated highways show the Yes
votes to have been nearly 100000
more than the Noes.
THE approval of the amendment
by the voters of Pennsylvania is
complete evidence that the people of
this Commonwealth are progressive"
said Ex-senator John S. Fisher. of
Indiana, president of the associated
highways. THE state is now enabled
to borrow money and build highways
on a wholesale scale"
Pennsylvania will have the best
highway system in America within
five years." was the declaration of
William Jennings. of Harrisburg,
treasurer of the associated highways.
Transportation facilities will be i'm
proved and there will be great i'm
provement in economic conditions"
Dr. L. L. Johnson, OF Erie, vice.
president of the associated highways,
declared that the vote Tuesday plain
ly evidenced that Pennsylvanians
are tired of their many meandering
miles of mudways.
The vote means that the people
have learned that good roads are an
economic necessity. Almost every
county in the state has reversed it's
attitude of 1913. when the bond is
sue was defeated by 41,000 votes"
If the war is over before the legis-
lative sessions of 1919 end the con-
stitutional amendment providing that
the state may borrow money will be
put through by the state Senate and
House. Not all the S5O,000,OO0 bonds
will be issued at one time. of course.
The Legislature will say how and
when the bonds are to be issued. in
what form. the term and the interest
to be paid.

POSTOFFICE TO
GIVE MONEY AID

Employees Of the Rock Island

william Potter, father of the three
lads who lost their lives in the
river tragedy last Tuesday. Mr.. Pot
ter was formerly employed in the
custodian's force at the postoff1ce.
Other sympathiZers OF the Pot
ter family also expect to give f1nan-
cial aid. Fellow workers of the old
est boy at Borg and Beck's fac
tory in Moline have made dona-
ton to help the father. Fellow en-
p1oyes of Mr.. Potter at the Rock
Island Pillow company where he was
formerly employed, are also making
a donation. A benefit dance Will be
given Friday night at Thielke's
hall. George Thielke originated the
idea in order to assist the family.
Mr.. Potter, who is a cement work
er and contractor, has many out
standing bills still uncollected.
Some attorney will undoubtedly
volunteer to take up the matter OF
collection in order to help relieve
the heavy burden which has so sud
denly been thrown on Mr.. Potter.
False rumors to the effect that
Mrs. William Potter, mother of the
three drowned boys, is seriously i'll

to be up and around and has been
very brave in her bereavement.
