BOOMING GOOD ROADS.

It is predicted by people in touch with highway work, that the close of Che war is going to sec a nation-w wide movement for better roads. PennsyI- vRnia recently voted by a Jour to one majority, for $5O, O0O eco bond issue for roads. Illinois sanctioned a S6O,- OoO 600 issue for the same purpose Now Minnesota is talking of borrow ing $100, 100000.
 These sums seem enormous. But we are coming to realize that the old theory whereby a state would set aside a million or so a year for trunk line highways amounted to but little. Of course large sums were spent in - local taxation. But much of this money was dr1bbled away in unscien- ttfic methods.
 You cant produce food economically on farm the outlet of which is a rough, sandy, muddy, or rutty road. Either the farmer has got to sell that food at an impSsstlDly low figure, or it is going to. increase the living cost o1 1t to the consumer to a tremendous degree.
 Furthermore, good roads help settle the help question. When trucks can make a quick journey with produce to the nearest railroad station, the farm help get back quickly to the farm. A farm in Q good roads district can be run on less labor.
 Even if all our states should carry out good roads developments on the scale already undertaken by several it would not spend one per cent. 11 our national wealth. The producer who is not willing to spend one pel cent. of his capital to secure decen- transportation facilities, is too slow for the 2Oth century. He belongs baci in the 18th.

EXPERT TESTIFIES CHANGED PLANS
 DELAYED BRIDGE
Daniel E. Moran of New York on Stand in Case
 Against City.

Many delays were occasioned in the construction of the Grand street bridge in this city by reconsideration of the plans and specifications after the work had cCm7rencedl Daniel E. Moran of New York; a bridge expert, testified in the Superior court. He was called as a witness by the E, De Voc Tompl1ins, Inc, contractors, who are suing the city for S240,O 600 dam ages for the cancellation Of contracts for the Grand street and East Wash ington avenue bridges. The city claims delay on the part of the con- tractors.
 Moran followed Ernest W. Wtggin of New Haven, a bridge expert em- pboyed by the New Haven railroad, who commenced his testimony Thurs day afternoon.
 Moran told the court that reconsid- Oration of the plans and specified tons, absolutely necessary, the ab- Gence of the consulting engineer from the city, and the change of plans made necessary by exigencies of the work caused much delay to the con- tractors, and explained at some length why this was so. He was still on the stand at recess.
 Moran was expected to foe the final witness for the contractors, and City Attorney Comley was prepared to be- gin the defense yesterday afternoon He has a number of experts to ex- arnine and while it was said he might finish by this afternoon, 1t is believed the case will take the remainder o1 che court week at least.

The Price Of Sugar.

The wholesale price of sugar
advanced so that the retailers
can no longer sell at 10 cents,
and under the uncertainty of the
market it is impossible to fix a
price that will fit all the county.
There is a way, however, that
the retailer can stay within the
law and arrive at the correct
price. The Food Administration
permits the retailer to make a
profit of one cent per pound on
sugar. This price is arrived at
by adding cent to the wholesale
price of the sugar and adding the
freight. Nothing else can be ad-
ded. Rents, insurance, nor 9TH
er overhead exposes can not be
figured in. Nor can paper bags,
twine, etc. Just add the freight
and l cent to the cost and you
have it. If the sugar costs you
1913 a pound and the freight is
40 cents a hundred you figure it
this way:
Wholesale price, .... ,.1O.4
Freight an 40c a hundred. A
Profit of 1c a pound, ..01.
Price to consumer. r... 1l.S
This is eleven and four-ffth
cents a pound, and the price the
sugar must be sold at under the
above cost, and would not author
ize the selling at II cents nor at
12H. The sugar must be sold at
not more than one cent a pound
above cost and freight.
