TWO MORE TOWNSHIPS
OFFERED COUNTY AID

Commissioners at their meeting
Monday offered another township
county aid for road Improvement
Granger residents are determined TO
have the east and west roads thru
their township paved, regardless OF
whether or not the Acknowledging road
is finished this summer. The COM
missioners offered them 33 1-3 per
cent of the estimated cost, providing
the township would pay 25 per cent
and the abutting property owners
Al 2-3 per cent. Although this is an
excessive amount for abutting own
ers of farm lands, it is thought the
proposition will be accepted. The
stretch to be improved is about 2 IL
miles in length.
The commissioners also made bet
ter proposition to Liverpool township
for improving the road from the VII
lage west to the county line, the es-
timated cost of which Is $4,000. The
county will pay 33 1-3 per cent OF
this providing the township pay
Al 2-3 per cent and the abuttlng
property owners 25 per cent.
The salary of the clerk of commits
sioners was raised $40 a month by
the following resolution:
Because of the unusual amount o1
road legislation to be recorded, it was
moved by Albert and seconded by
Scanlan that the sum of ten dollars
be given to the clerk to pay for thu
extra labor" The clerk will now re
ceive $50 instead of $40.

ORDERS RAIL WAGE
BOOST INTO EFFECT

Wage advances aggregating $685.
100000 were ordered Friday by Di-
rector General Hines for railroad en-
gineers, firemen, trainmen and con-
ductors in both passenger and freight
service, retroactive since January l.,
1919. The increases were made ac-
cording, to a contemplated schedule,
one of the aims of which was to re-
store the wage relationship existing
before the railroads increase in wages
last year. The average advance in
pay per man per year will be about
$3.50.
This action practically completed
the war cycle of wage increases grant.
ed rail road men since the government
took over management Of the roads
fifteen months ago. Only few min
or requests for more pay remain tt
