Other Counties to Act.

ALBANY, Aug. IA bond issue of
$100,000,000 for new highways and the
Improvement of existing highways will
be asked OF the next Legislature, ac-
cording to Frederick S. Greene. Commits
sioner of Highways who announced to-
day that he had been notified that the
Board of Supervisors Of Wayne county
had adopted resolution favoring such
action. This is the first county board in
the State to go. on record for another
bond issue, and similar action is to be
taken in other counties.
Asked what he thought of the pro-
posal Commissioner Greene said:
"Of course, it is not conceivable that
after the 700 miles of improved high
ways now called for are completed that
this great State will stop building roads.
1t is economically necessary for us to
continue to meet all Federal aid appro-
priations, even IL we do no more. No
one doubts that after 1921 there will be
further Federal aid appropriations, so
We could not stop highway construction
without losing our portion of this Fed
eral money. In view of this. I believe 1t
is better to go to the people once for
a large bond issue than to go to them
from time to time for several small
ones.
'"It should be remembered that asking
for bond issue of 800, 00O, 900 does not
mean that all of this money is to be
raised Immediately, for II could not be
spent Immediately. AS with former ref
erendUms, the money to be spent must

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE decision OF
Viscount Grey to accept appointment as

his post early next month, accompanied
by Sir William G. Tyrrell. who was his

Lord Grey's desire TO understand fully
The policy of the British Government in
regard to America
Viscount Grey has devoted much time
and deer study. 1t is understood, to the
relations between the two great English
speaking nations, especially in connec-
ton with the League of Nations. He
has met President Wilson only once,
when they were introduced during the
latters visit here by Premier Lloyd
George, but 1t is known that Lord Grey
1as been following the Wilsonian
theories very closely and has been watch
Ing the development of international ma
chinery to prevent warfare between the
great Powers in the future
About the only criticism of the APP
pointment OF Viscount Grey is that he
lacks the business knowledge which
some regard as indispensable in the Am
bassador at Washington. Aside from
this ore point. Lord Grey stands in the
British mind as the ideal man for the
position. 1t is proposed that along with
the Diplomatic Corps In Washington
there should be established a strong
commercial legation. headed by promi-
nent British business man. who would
have a status equal to that of the Mn
tster Plenipotentiary.
In any case large staff will be pro-
vided In Washington so that the new Am
bassador may be able to devote his time
to the larger affairs of his office. His
eyesight is much improved, but still II
may give him trouble. At one time he
feared that his sight would be lost en-
tlrely and he even took course in blind
reading under the tutelage of Sir Arthur
Pearson at st. Dunstan's Hospital for
the Blind.

Cold storage performs a real economic
service not generally appreciated by the
public. The present system has been
evolved by the public demand. They

not want to eat all their eggs in six
