ONE ROAD TRUCK ~
IS ALREADY HERE
TWO OTHERS WILL ARRIVE DUR
ING THE WEEK AND BE READY
FOR IMMEDIATE USE.

One of the motor trucks given the
county road commission by the depart
ment of agriculture, has arrived in Co
lumbia and the other two are expected
today Two of the trucks are of three
tons capacity while the third is light.
err type, two and half tons.
Superintendent Butler stated this
morning that he would have to use
the beds that were on the trucks for
the present as he could not procure
single dump bed in Nashville and it
would be long time before he would
be able to SO fit out the trucks. But
this is the time when they are most
needed and If they are not used for
hauling metal and gravel on the roads
now they cannot be used to advantage
until next spring.

ANOTHER COLD
STORAGE PLANT
HERE PROBABLE
SEVERAL PROMINENT BUSINESS
MEN HAVE STATED WILL TAKE
STOCK IN ONE.
III IS A PUBLIC NECESSITY
Too Much Perishable Product Grown
In County Not To Have one-Hys.
teria Against the Storage Plants Is
Subsiding.

Columbia may have cold storage
plant. The announcement that after
December Is the Columbia Ice & Cold
Storage Company would discontinue
the cold storage business was like a
bomb in the ranks of the producers
and many business men of the county.
I'VE just can't get along in Maury
county without a public cold storage
plant declared one OF the leading
business men of the county this morn
ing. There is too much produce here
that must be stored or it will waste
and ! am going to subscribe for stock
in plant, not with the idea that it
will be a big paying investment, but
simply because it is a public necessi.
ty and will contribute to the general
prosperity of the city and county"
No one questions the statement of
the Columbia Ice & Cold Storage Com.
pany that its storage plant has not
been profitable. 1t is agreed that the
making of ice will be more profitable
than running a cold storage plant. BY
using the space for cold storage to
store ice in the winter the company
will be able next summer to meet all
demands for ice.
| However, there are too many apples
potatoes and other perishable goods
in the county that must waste if they
cannot be stored. One business man
suggested that perhaps the rates
charged had not been sufficient to
meet the cost. He declared that he
believed the producers would be per
fectly willing to pay a little more
rather than not have any storage plant
in Columbia
Several business men have already
agreed that they will take stock in the
plant and its operation before another
season seems assured. There is a
growing feeling that the hysteria in
] congress and out IL it against the cold
storage plants is going to subside
This will encourage the promoters OF
the project.

EXTENDING WORK
OF MARKET BUREAU
PROF. OSCAR L. FARRlS, OF UNI
vERsiTY. OF TENNESSEE, A
VISITOR HERE.

Prof. Oscar L. Farris, of the divi
sion of cooperating marketing Of the
University of Tennessee, was here
Tuesday enroute to Lawrence county,
where he will supervise the shipment
of several loads of cattle under co.
operative arrangements between the
farmers of that section.
Prof. Farris talked Interestingly of
the work that was being done by his
division for the farmers of Tennessee.
He said that there was little room for
cooperative shipping in county like
Maury where there we're many stock
dealers. who treated their customers
fairly and generally paid the full mar
ket price. but that he had found places
where this was not the case and the
dealers were getting an altogether I'M
profit. In places of that
kind the cooperative shipments have
been of great value to the farmers.
said Prof. Fsrris. He said that the
work of his division was being gradu-
ally extended over the state.

BIC GARAGE AT
MT. PLEASANT
BURNED AT NOON
ELEVEN CARS LOST IN FLAMES
THAT DESTROYED BROAD
WAY ESTABLISHMENT.
PROPRIETOR RIPLEY LOST FIVE
Total Loss Has Not Been Estimated
But Loss viii Reach Several Thous-
and DoIIars-Buildine Was Owned
by m. Zingarel.

Eleven automobiles were destroyed
when the Broadway Garage at Mt.
Pleasant burned today at noon. The
total loss has not been estimated but
will reach several thousand dollars.
The origin of the fire is unknown, and
it gave the fire department hard
fight to extinguish it and prevent the
spread of the flames to other business
houses along Broadway The building
was owned by M. Zingarell and is To-
Gated on Broadway between Bluegrass
avenue and the depot. There was g..
900 insurance on the building.
Among the cars destroyed were
those those of Rev. Fl. nj. Jarvis, Ken
meth Irwin, Luther Barrett and d. B.
Rippey, proprietor of the garage, who
lost five cars. Mr.. Rippey also lost
about $4,000 worth of machinery.
There were no explosions of gaso-
line during the fire, but the building
and contents being highly inflamable,
it was difficult for the fire to be con-
trolled. The fire department did splen-
did work and won the plaudits of the
business men and the immense crowd
that was attracted by the fire.

NEED TEAM WORT. ......-.
TO MAKE ROADS
PEOPLE SHOULD NOT STOP UP
CULvERTS, SAYS SUPERlN.
TENDENT BUTLER.

Folks cuss the road officials, com.
plain about the condition of the roads
and lament the payment of their road
taxes but they are not always care
full to do their part to keep up the
roads," said Superintendent Frank A.
Butler this morning. For instance |
found on one of the main highways
of the county, in sag that the road
during the winter was loblolly for
want of drainage. On investigation
found that two stone culverts, that
were ample to keep the roadway prop
erly drained, had been carefully and
painstakingly filled up because the wa
ter ran into the barn lot of the farm
err living adjacent thereto"

CURTAIN DOWN ON
ROAD COMPUTATION
TIME LIMIT IN WHICH TO PAY
HIGHWAY TAXES EXPIRES
TOMORROW.

Days of grace for the payment of
road Communication taxes will expire
with the close of the trustees office
tomorrow evening. After that date
all citizens of the county within the
ages fixed by the law, that is eighteen
to fifty years, must work out" their
time on the roads They cannot then
commute by paying So in taxes. An
nouncement that the books would
close on Wednesday has caused a
considerable rush at the trustees of
flee with the result that largely more
people have paid this tax than ever
before in the history of the county. 1t
is estimated that the collections from
this source will run over $4,000. Then
there will be left good deal of la.
Dor of several thousand dollars value.
to go on the roads.
u is much cheaper for the taxpayers
to commute by paying the So to the
trustee than II is to work out the time
on the roads, but there are many cit
izens who have so much interest in
the roads of their own neighborhood
that they will prefer WORKING on
them rather than paying smaller
sum to the trustee.
