GOOD ROADS MEETING
HELD At CLAREM0NT

Cfarenont. Sept 2o.---The Good
Roads, meeting that was held at
SpringFGrove: was well attended.
Inc Meeting was called to order
py W. u Rogers as chairman and A
X. Clevenger, secretary
The purpose of the meeting was to
sound the people as to whether they
wanted good roads enough to pay for
them by authorizing a Bond issue of
$4,000 to build a road from Clare
mont to Blunt bridge, about thirteen
miles and that Sussex county would
give us a good road into Wayeriy.
Mr. Rogers asked for the sentimen
OF the people present who were all
in favor Of the bond issue for the hoad
as suggested, only that the road
should first be gone over by sur
veyor and the cost computed. For a
nine foot gravel road the cost as given
for construction by Commissioner
Coleman was about 5000 per mile.
making The 3 miles cost $4,000 and
to- cover all possible contingencies the
round sum of $4,000 was considered
as the largest possible amount as
several concrete culverts or drains
would have to be constructed.
This would give us n basis 10 figure
with contractors bidding on the same
and if too high the work could be
uone by day labor under the super
vision of a competent road builder
This road would be graded 30 foot bed
and 'Eraveled in the center and the
travel would gradually spread the top
dressing. making at wider read even
tuaIfy
If there was any money left of this
bond issue 1t could be applied to some
other road.
I SO cent tax would take care of
this bond issue and more money will
be had In 1920 assessrn ents on the
increased land appraisrn
Six per cent interest on these bonds
would be $4,000 and about 81 900 for
maintenance. The law requires a tax
of 3 per cent of the bond issue be
set aside for this purpose and this
would leave $500 for sinking fund to
retire the bonds. Your state aid
could be added to the sinking fund
to help. The fund~ from state is
about S4,2oo of which Clifford district
Is entitled to something like $1,000 to
$500
The meeting was In favor OF going
ahead at once and MIR. Rogers said he
would see Mr.. Coleman about an en-
Sineer al the first possible moment.

HOW NEW HAVENERS REGARD
 LEONARD DUNDEE BOUT

The more one delves into the pro-
 posed so-called lightweight cham-
 pionship fight between Leonard and Dundee which some one expects to pull off in New Haven, ,~Jan. 16 on a permit already granted by Chief of Police Philip T. Smith, the more one is convinced that it is a grand old time scheme of the famous clique of big city promoters to make a gentle touch on the bank rolls of New Ha :, veners and others for some $50,000. It is shrewd game and undoubtedly would go through, but for some en- thus!astic spilling of the beans just at the wrong time.
 In New York the other day when the articles were signed for the lu- crative descent upon this city, it was announced that the contest would be for the lightweight championship Now Chief Smith has said that he would rot stand for any such cham pionships here and today he finds | himself between the devil and the deep. sea and to extricate the enter
 prise from this unhappy situation the l local men interested are now saying
