BETTER HURRY
OR We MAY GET
NO STATE ROAD
z. J. Greenwood MarYels at the
Apathy Here in Regard to
Highway Question.
WORK CONTRACTS BEING LET
Money Enough to Build Only Hall
Mileage and Other Places Are
Getting Their Share.

"If you people up here don't
look out you will miss on: on even
the few miles of state hard roads
that the legislature planned to
give you. You'd better get busy"
1t was T. ]. Greenwood speak
ing-T. J. Greenwood OF Burgess,
who breezed into town yesterday
to talk things over. Mr.. Green
wood is an active advocate of what
is known as the Presumption route
between this city and Monmouth.
He has been doing a good deal of
work and he says he has been get
ting results everywhere except in
Rock Island, where nobody seems
to be taking much interest in the
subject.
Its this way" Mr.. Greenwood
said in explaining his opening
statement. There will be 100000
900 for road building. That will
come from the auto license fund
in the next 20 years. 1t had been
figured it would build $500 miles
of hard roads, enough to connect
up all county seats. 1t was esti-
mated that roads would cost $1z,-
500 q mile. Quite a number of
contracts already have been let
and the price paid is around ST.
900 mile You see the 100000, 900
won't build half the mileage plan
ned.
Most Of the larger centers OF
the state are getting busy. Quite
a number of road. out of Chicago
already are under construction.
The other day a contract was let
for a road between Peoria ano
Springfield. First thing we know
the money all will be gone and We
will be left holding the sack.
Pretty Costly Road.
'The most road that the lower
end of Rock Island county can get,
any way it is arranged. will be 10
miles. This county wilt pay, on
the basis of it's license fees con-
tributed to the Gtate last year.
nearly $1,5o0,OOo in the next 20

years, and half of that will be paid
fifty thousand dollars for 10 miles
of road is pretty expensive road.
even at the present time, AMI
you'll have to hurry or you won't
get even that
''The route from here to Mon
mouth by way of Presumption and
Viola is the shortest and best. The
intention is, as I understand it, to
make it part of the main st. Paul
St Louis highway. The aim 10 to
cut out all the unnecessary mile
age. At Springfield they say the
route will not be fixed. till a sur
vey has been made, but they have
called for blue prints of the Pre-
emption route from the county
highway engineers, and that IS
pretty significant, for they have
not gone that far with any other
route. / understand that the fed
eral government will help build
this road If it is properly located,
but if you go to adding unneces-
cary miles there may be neither
federal nor state funds for it.
Everybody Help.
Mr.. Greenwood considers it folly
for the people to wait for the state
to build roads. He favors volun-
tary efforts for immediate results.
He has a plan.
There are 2S4 S0-acre tracts in
every township" said he. Now if
a team from every one of these
will haul 25 loads a year of rock
and gravel, in four years enough
! 10-foot gravel and macadam road
in each township, which includes
all the main highways. This ma
terial can be brought by rail at
small cost to the nearest station
and be delivered on the ground
! when farm work is not pressing.
That's the only way we will get
rid of mud unless we wait till
we're all dead.
do you know that it takes 800
two-ton loads of material to build
mile of road 10 feet wide? At
| present prices of cemen. it costs
nearly $4,000 for enough to make
mile of concrete road. l believe
in using rock underneath with a
gravel crown, at least for all but
the most heavily travelled roads"
Mr.. Greenwood says a good deal
of the state aid money provided
under the Tice law has been
squandered on grading jobs such
as is about to be undertaken south
of Milan at cost to state and
county of $4,000 per mile. He
blames the state highway engi-
neers for putting the estimate &c
high. He says anybody with a
good grader and tractor could. 90
| just as satisfactory a job for all
practical purposes for a few hun
dred dollars mile. He considers
it pretty soft for the contractors
who base their bids on estimates
| by state engineers that are out OF
all reason.

Camp Grant, ILL.,, May 27.-"It's a

sighed a Camp Grant officer this
morning, as he smoothed the wrin-

to solve the problem Of how TO rush
10000 Prairie division troops due

date less than 1000.
Chicago is going to middle
things up beautifully" declared the
army officer, commenting on the
monster celebration and parade in
the Windy city today. I'VE could
handle them nicely if the troops
were sent on here in detachments
as they arrive from the east" he
ADDED, but by holding 10000 of
them in Chicago, they're going to
swamp us out here"
First, the people demand that
the boys be discharged without any
delay. Then they ask that the men
be held up a week or SO for this
parade, and after that they'll howl
like blazes if we keep them here
two days for rehabilitation. It's
