ROAD
BUILDING
BOND ISSUE is BIG PROBLEM
Best Means to Pull Counties Out Of
Land Of Mud-Mske All Improve
ments Permanent

The biggest single issue before the
people today is good roads; biggest
not alone of itself, but biggest be-
cause the prompt and satisfactory So
luton Of a permanent road system in
every state will help To solve a half
dozen fundamental problems and in
directly affect for good, as we'll as in
dollars and cents, almost every phase
of farm, social and industrial life in
the state. We cannot expect to have
a real system of roads unless it is
based on large units and this is best
accomplished by accepting the county
and state basis with few experienced
and responsible men in charge in each
case. We must have roads that begin
and end somewhere.
Many counties are presenting to the
taxpayers the question of bond issue
for the improvement of their high
ways. The bond issue for a public
Improvement should be governed by
the same considerations which govern
q bond issue by any business organiza-
ton. When manufacturing concern
issues bonds, the money raised is
placed in permanent improvements in
the plant which will last far beyond
the life Of the bonds, or else no in
vestOr would purchase the securities.
Bonds for municipal purposes or for
public Improvements are not always
subjected to this acid test, and in
stances are numerous in this country
where bonds for twenty years have
been issued for the construction of
public roads. where the type of roads
built with the proceeds of the bond
issue could not possibly last more than
ten years, and even then expensive
maintenance is continually necessary.
In some instances history shows that
during the life of such q bond issue
the original road has been worn out
and rebuilt with a different material,
and with the proceeds of subsequent
bond issues as many as three times.
and still the original bonds are a liza
bility on the community.
Bond issues for better roads are the
best means to pull counties out of the
Land of Mud. But it must be certain
that the road improvements will last
the life of the bonds. This can be as
sured by securing expert and unpreju.
diced engineering advice on the best
kind of roads for the soil. The bank
er can perform yeoman service in this
connection.
In the state of Iowa the man who be-
gan with nothing and now owns $780,

a concrete bridge with one years
tax money, he has made Christmas
present of that bridge to posterity for
the next one hundred years. He says
that thirty-year paved roads are i'm
possible because $4,000 per mile is
too much to pay out of one years tax
money, and it has not occurred to him
that there will still be taxpayers when
he is dead and gone, who will be using
that road, and by rights should have
to pay some of it.-Wallace's Farmer.

COST OF VARIOUS HIGHWAYS
macadam Road Is Most Expensive, But
When Built Is Satisfactory and
Permanent.

with sand, mixed with clay or with
gravel, or brick, or crushed stone, con-
crete or other like material The gray
Ell road will cost from 81 800 to $500
a mile-the difference in cost depend
Ing upon the accessibility of gravel.
The macadamized road costs from So
600 to $4,000 per mile. It is the most

Shabouth, the Feast of Two Weeks. falls this year on Wednesday, June 4. Originally a festival of the first fruits. it underwent a gradual transforma- ton. As the Jewish people began to enjoy a historical consciousness. they linked traditional events with sur yiving festivals and institutions trans nitted from remoter ancestry. Through the intercession of Rabbinical Judaism, the feast of Weeks was en- larged into a historical festival. in which the giving of the Decalogue was commemorated.
 Services will be held at all the syn agogues of the city at o'clock this evening when the holiday will be ush- cred in.

MORE ATHLETICS.
 MORE SCHOOLS
Recreation and Education Division Makes Many
 Important Suggestions.

Several matters of considerable i'm portance to the welfare of Bridgeport and those living in the city were dis cussed at the meeting of the Edu- cation and Recreation Committee, of the sub- division of the. same name of the Chamber of Commerce. All matters wree discussed informally and sub committees appointed to investigate and report back to the committee at its next meeting.
 It was agreed upon that the city Is in need of several more baseball dia- monds especially in the north, east and west districts Inereased athletic facilities in the west end, which in cludes the district west of Park ave- nue and South of Railroad avenue, together with the holding of monthly athletic carnivals at Seaside Park were talked over at length with much favorable comment.
 One of the most Important items brought up in this connection was the making of some provision to transport people living in the west end of the city to Seaside Park with out forcing them to travel a round about route of three miles when a direct passage of 500 feet would be obtained by the simple expedient of br1dgeing a creek.
 All these matters were expected to. if passed, go into effect during the present season.
 Steeplechase Island was not left out of the discussion entirely and while 1t was realized that $150,000 neces- sary to equip 1t as an adequate play ground would not be forthcoming this year. efforts were made to gain the support of the Chamber of Com merce to appear before the Board of Apportionment at it's next meeting to urge the appropriation of the neces- sary funds.
 Along educational lines, a committee was appointed to take up the matter of another high school building It was unanimo ously agreed upon by all those present that one Is needed inn mediate1y. An up-to-date industrial school, which will practically amount to O technical high school was sug- gested, and committee appointed to go into details on this matter.
 The body of men at the meeting formed one of the 20 sub divisions of the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce, from which sub-committees will ulti- mately be appointed
 Action will be taken on the matters discussed at these meetings only after the measures have been referred to the directors and members of the Chamber of Commerce
