Mrs. George Ambrose Of
Fremont Township Takes
900 Above Her Quota
OF Bonds.
2 TOWNSHIPS TAGGING
Figures at Hand From Over
County Are as Yet In
{. complete.

Another Hamilton county woman
has come forward as a big buyer of
Victory Loan Bonds. She is Mrs.
George Ambre of Fremont township
and she has zen a total Of $4,45O
worth. @
Mrs. Ambrose's quota was $3.50,
which she cheerfully took some ten
days or SO ago. Saturday, however,
she came in to headquarters and asked
permission to subscribe for $4,000 more.
Chairman Mason has not yet received
complete returns from all the town
ships in the county. Figures at hand
indicate that most all are now over.
There are at least two, however, which
are tagging Rose Grove and Marion,
two Of the richest townships in the
county.
The commendable action of women
like Mrs. Ambrose ought to shame
some of the men who have not yet
taken their .q,iotas and who seem de-
terminetl to permit the committee to
send in yellow cards bearing their
names.

STORY COUNTY TO
VOTE ON ROAD WORK.
People Will Have Chance to
Express Themselves on
Matter.

Nevada, May Sit is probable that
the taxpayers of Story county will
have an opportunity before long of
voicing their sentiments on paving for
the sixty miles of primary roads Of
Story county.
According to a statement of men,
Der Of the board of supervisors yes
terday it is very likely that an election
will be called within n short time to
give the people of the county an OPP
portunity of voting upon the option as
to bonding the county for pavement
under the new road law or not.
One of the first moves that the
hoard Of supervisors will make in their
new road program will be to consult
the highway commission as to their
rights to draw upon the primary road
fund for further drainage and possible
crawling of the present road system.
Information from the highway
commission a few days ago stated that
Story county would have available
within the next three years $4,000 for
the permanent improvement Of the
primary roads in the country. Added
to this would be the % per cent which
would be taxed to the property owners,
making a total Of 100000, which
would be more than would be necessary
to properly drain, grade and gravel the
primary system of the county.

CENTRAL LAYS
90 POUND RAILS
Grew Working Out Of This
City Finish Work as far
As Retarder Factory
East Of City.
HEAVY TRAFFIC CAUSE
Company is Laying Heavier
Rails From Chicago to
Fort Dodge.

The Illinois Central crew, which has
been located in Webster City for about
two months laying new rails east of
this city, have now completed their
work as far as the National Retarder
factory.
The Illinois Central last summer be-
gan the work of relaying all it's line
west from Chicago to Fort Dodge, TAX
ing up the old 50 pound rails and laying
new 80 pound rails. The railroad crew
relaying this line east of this city have
made Webster City their headquarters
and will continue to headquarter here
until Duncombe is reached, after which
they will go to Fort Dodge.
The >traffic over the Illinois Central
from Fort Dodge east to Chicago has
been unusually heavy for several
years. During the past year heavier
engines of the 1900 type, hauling
trains of as many as 30 cars, have been
put on and this heavy traffic calls for
the practical rebuilding of the line. The
laying Of the new so pound rails is ac-
complishing this and with this work
completed as far as Webster City. prac-
tically 300 miles have been laid. 1t will
probably take some two months more to
complete the rebuilding to Fort Dodge.
