COUNTY MAY AGAIN
ENJOY BENEFITS
VOCATIONAL FUND
SMITH-HUGHES AGRICULTURAL
PROJECT MAY BE RESTORED
IN HIGH SCHOOL.
TERMS MADE MORE LIBERAL
supt. Williams Especially Anxious
That Great Agricultural County
Should Share in the Distribution of
Appropriation.

1t is not improbable that after all
Maury county's high school will par
ticipate again in the federal appropria-
ton for vocational education under
what is termed the Smith-Hughes bill,
1t will be remembered that the super
intendent and high school board were
dissatisfied with the highly technical
administration of the fund received
from the federal government during
the past ter1h and declined to again
enter into arrangements for the com
ing term. t"
However, State Superintendent VIII
liams was here Monday and made a
more favorable proposition to County
Superintendent Graham and City Su-
perintendent Harris and it is believed
that this proposition will ultimately
be accepted. Supt. Williams agreed
that there should be less technical
administration of the fund than was
attempted in the past and that the
agricultural course should be so ar
ranged that it would harmonic with
the other features of the school.
Discussing the matter Supt. Will
liams said: Il am especially anxious
that Maury county, unqeustionably the
greatest agricultural county in Ten
nessee, should continue to enjoy the
benefits of the Smith-Hughes appropri-
alton. If there is a county in the
United States where agricultural edu-
cation should be stresseds that county
is Maury. | realize the shortcomings
of the plan tried last year and can
understand the skepticism of Supts'
Graham and Harris, but | believe that
we are going to be able to make an
arrangement that will be profitable
and satisfactory all around
Supt. Williams spent several hours
yesterday in conference with Supt
Harris and Supt Graham. They dis
cussed many of the school problems.

PETTYS LEAD IS
BEING FOLLOWED BY
OTHER LAND OWNERS
COMMITTEE SECURING RIGHTS
OF WAY FOR STATE HIGHWAY
ON THREE Pixies.
LIBERAL ATTITUDE is SHOWN
County Court to Be Presented With
Pledges When 1t Meets Thursday.
Not Expected to Require Much Ad-
ditional Right of Way.

Rejecting the attitude shown by j.
7, Petty, who offered to give necessa-
ny rights of way on his frontage on
the Pulaski pike for the construction
of the proposed state highway, citi-
Zens of the other two pixies on the sys-
tenn are preparing today to meet his
proposition and be equally as liberal.
Committees began a systematic can
vass Of the pixies this morning to Sc
cure grants of rights of way for the
entire 43 miles.
On the Mt. Pleasant pike w. P. Rid,
ley and Ed L. Armstrong are calling
on the property owners.
On the Spring Hill pike Joseph
Chapman, Filliam Cheaifs and L. M.
Short are securing the rights of way.
On the Pulaski pike the canvass is
made by ]. T. Petty, Sam Wiley and
Porter Bros.
Mr.. Petty's proposal to give rights
Of way on his long frontage was ia.
vorably commented on this morning
and numerous other land owners on
the Pulaski and other pixies declared
that they would follow his lead.
1t is probable that when the county
court meets Thursday morning to con.
slider a resolution that will provide
for the necessary rights of way in
compliance with the requirements of
the federal highway department there
will be presented pledges from the
land owners of practically the entire
43 miles frontage to give the rights
of way that may be needed The prob.
ability is that the present rights OF
way will be sufficient, but the federal
government requires guarantee OF
all necessary rights of way before il
will send any money on road. s.

DIRT FLIES ON
HIGHWAYS over
ENTIRE COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENT BUTLER Ex-
PRESSES QUALIFICATION OVER
COOPERATION OF PUBLIC.
MORE CREWS START THIS WEEK
Marked Change in Attitude of Many
Citizens Who Now Reasize That
They Have AS Much interest in
Good Roads as the Officials.

Work on the public roads of the
county is now on in earnest in nearly
every district and upon a large por-
ton of the roads. During the past
week work got under way on several
of the main highways coming to the
city and in addition attention is being
given to some of the. most important
cross roads and laterals.
Men are responding splendidly to
the appeal Of the road officials and
have agreed to go upon the roads and
direct the work and eXpend the funds
that are appropriated to the several
roads. These men are getting good
results, too. They are taking the at,
-tittde1that it is just as much to their
interest to have a good road as it is
that of the road officials.
At first there was a disposition of
resentment and men declared that
having paid their road taxes they
would not work unless they were paid
unheard of prices for their services
and wagons and teams. However
when they realized that such course
generally pursued, would simply re,
duce the funds available for working
the highways, in which they had a
most vital interest, they promptly
changed their attitude and are now
willing not only to hire their teams
to the road officials at less than is
paid on other public works but many
of them are making contributions in
addition.
Superintendent Butler declared to
day that before the end of the week
the officials hoped to have, work in
progress on every road in the county.
Assurances of support and co-opera-
ton, he stated, are coming from all
sections and nothing had been more
gratifying to the members of the
board than the change of attitude
upon the part of many of the citizens
IF the folks will just be patient, co
operate with us and furnish us that
measure of support to which we are
entitled they are going to get better
roads than we have ever had said
