SomethInu Worth While Done

Jenkintown councilmen are criticized
in public statement by Cornelius A.
O'ConnelI, returned soldier of the
American expeditionary force, who
spent twenty one months in France.
He wants to know why only five of
nine officials attended the last meeting !;
whether a report that routine business
was. to large extent, the only bust
ness transacted; and whether routine
business means another and polite
method of saying that the councilmen
didn't do anything.
He suggests n number Of things which
the councilmen might do-have weeds
and overgrowing shrubbcry removed
from sidewalks. and procure II supply
of government food for the people of the
suburb, in line with the activities of
officials in other towns and cities.

brand new set Of laws fo- the pur-
pose of making the public roads as
much a part of the nations bus
mess as are the affairs of the army
and navy. Road building, it is
commended, must be recognized by
the United States government as
profession and trade
That the country is alive to the
necessities of reconstructing the
highways is further evidenced by
the fact that Illinois has author
lied a bond issue of $60,000,000.
while Pennsylvania has voted $50
000,00 of bonds for pubic high
ways. These are the two bigges,
bond issues for state road build
ing in the history of the world.
For the same reason that it be-
came necessary TO replace 80 and
60 pound rails with double that
weight upon all the standard rail
roads of the United States whea
increased transportation demanded
heavier locomotives and rolling
stock, so has it now become nee
esSary to meet similar condition
in respect to our principal public
highways, in view Of the increased
weight and speed of vehicles The
new conditions confront every part
of the country and each commun
ity must assume the initiative in
getting road building started
Those that will be favored by bet
ter highways first will be those
that are most insistent upon hav-
ing them. Put our taxea TO a real
business use" is the demand in
many parts of the country.
