Taking Traffic Census
Of Principal Highways

A census Of main county highways,
to determine the amount, kind and di-
rection Of traffic borne by each one,
was started Friday under the direction
OF County Surveyor Howard Horton.
Horton expects to publish the re-
suits and tabulate them as soon as the
census is complete. The census-taker
he said Saturday, had checked the
number Of vehicles passing through
Centerville on the National road, as
fifty an hour, and had taken the census
on the New Paris pike and another
road, but had not brought in his
figures.
The agent will be kept busy about
two or three weeks, visiting the main
highways of the county at various
times during the day, and at various

BOND ISSUE OF
$4,000 NEEDED
TO FINISH BRIDGE
Bids for Completion of Work
Will be Opened at Court
house on July 3.

The county commissioners at their
meeting Saturday morning decided
Upon $4,000 as the amount of the
special bond issue which will be made
to complete the building of the Main
street bridge.
The commissioners agreed that the
insertion Of penalty clause including
a specific date for the completion of
the work would be part of any con.
tract which they would approve for
the building of the bridge at the open
ing of bids on July 8.
The petitions to the county council
and to the state board asking permis-
sion to make the bond issue, prepared
by Will w. Keller, attorney for Con.
tractor Isaac Smith, were approved
by the commissioners.
Engineers Estimate
The engineers estimate for the COM
pletion of the bridge is $108,000, which
does not include the engineers fee
or any extra expenses. The total in
the county treasury is $56,981.51, left
unexpended of the original 1917 ap.
preparation of about $169,000. The
specific sum therefore left to com.
plete the bridge is $51,01S49, and to
provide for fees and extra expenses
it was made $55, 900.
This will make the total cost to the
county of the completion of the bridge
slightly less than $225,000, against a
probable pre-war cost Of $169,000, or
more than $4,000 more than the
original contract. ...
The petition to the state tax board
will be presented, If possible, before
the meeting of the county council at
which the bond issue will be asked, as
under the new tax law the state board
decided whether any bond issue shall
be made, and it would be Of no more
use to call together the county coun-
Gil if the state boards decision were
unfavorable.
Anticipate No Difficulty
However, in view of the emergency
existing for the completion of the
bridge, it is not believed that there
will be any difficulty in getting the
state board to approve the issue.
Smith is anxious to complete the
bridge, Keller said, and he believed
that he would rush through the re-
mainder of the contract if it were
given to him, no matter whether or not
a penalty was fixed.
No special discussion was made of
the county road program at the morn
ing session, but it was limited by per-
sons around the courthouse, in touch
with the opinions of the commissioners
that they might decide to postpone
the road program another year, in
stead Of going ahead with it at once.
At least one of the commissioners, it
is said, is in favor of delay.

sibilities of women's suffrage. The

The worlds needs are such that
the work Of women, and the power
Of women is of great Importance" de-
clared DR.. Rae. Il feel that the pass
age Of the national amendment is most
timely"
Wilfred Jessup spoke of the success
of the amendment, and the good of it's
purpose. He praised the long fight

ment.
Mr.. Foulke, who is suffering from
slight illness, was scarcely able to
attend the meeting but because of it's
significance and in order to personal
ly express his joy over the success of
the women's suffrage campaign, he
said he desired to be present.
Mrs. Harlow Lindley, president Of
the Richmond Women's Franchise
league, presided at the meeting and
introduced the speakers.
I'VE have called this meeting to
celebrate the passing of the national
amendment through the house and
senate Of the United States" said
Mrs. Lindley. "We have waited and
worked for this occasion and now
that we have it, the state organization
of the Women's Franchise league be-
lieves that we should give vent to our
joy by calling town meetings through
out the state to show our respect and
acknowledge the bill"

ernor to call special session Of the
Indiana state legislature to ratify the
amendment was considered

teen viii begin late next week, with
Secretary Baker and Brigadier Gen
eral Lord, director of finance in the
department as the first witnesses A

ing today and unanimously adopted a

house to adopt the resolution early in
the week.
Decision to leave investigation Of
army affairs almost entirely in the
special house committee was reached
today at joint meeting of the re-
publican steering committees of the
house and senate. The senate mill
tary committee will devote itself prin-
cipally to permanent army legisla-
ton.
Bodies to Cooperate
Plans were made for cooperation
between the senate and house In leg
islation and investigation and steps
taken to prevent duplication Of work
by committees of the two houses A
speeding UP program for the remain

TO HASTEN REPLY

There is every evidence that the
leading figures of the peace confer
ence in Paris are endeavoring to hast
en- the delivery of the allied reply to
Germany's counter-proposals to the
terms Of peace. According to advices
positive instructions have been given
by the council of four to all commits
sions working on the reply to COM
plete their reports by Monday. If
this order is carried out 1t Is probable
the reply will be framed early in the
week and will be Immediately pre-
sented to the enemy delegation.
From reports coming from Paris 1t
seems that there Is growing a senti-
ment in the council of four that alter
ations must be made in the treaty, but
In what particulars the terms will be
modified is no as yet indicated. Pre-
mfer Lloyd George is attending meet
ings of the British commission study
ing the reparation phase Of the treaty
Count Won Brockdorff- rff-Rantzau, head
OF the German peace mission left Yer
sailles last night for Germany. It is
reported from Paris that he is expect
ed to return Sunday. French official
circles are said to expect the Ger
mans to refuse to sign the terms and
1t is pointed ont that as delay would
favor the Germans there Is necessity
for haste in bringing exchanges be-
tween the allies and the enemy to a
close. A more hopeful sentiment is
said to be apparent in Berlin
Claims Cause UneasIness.
The Italian claims to territory on
the eastern shore Of the Adriatic also
are causing some uneasiness in peaca
conference circles.
The Italian parliament will meet
June 1S and Premier Orlando is de-
manding that settlement be reached
by that time. Dispatches from Paris
indicate that the deadlock over the
situation regarding Fiume and the
Dalmatian coast is still the source of
concern and that efforts to arrive at
an agreement have been futile.
Admiral Kolchak's forces operating
In European Russia are, it is admit
ted, checked by the Bolsheviki, and it
seems probable that there will be to
say the least, quite serious delay in
carrying the campaign to a successful
conclusion. Winston Spencer Church
Ill, British war secretary, declared yes
terday that mo attempt should be
made to encourage extravagant hopes
regarding operations in Russia"
Hungarian Bolshevik forces continue
to advance against Czech troops be-
tween Budapest and Vienna. They are
reported to have crossed the Danube
at Gram and to be menacing Press
burg. French generals are said to be
IN command of the Czech army there.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.

U =
WASHINGTON, June 7.-Prelimin-
airy preparations were being made to-
day for the Investigation to be con.
quoted by the senate foreign relations
committee into statements that COP
les OF the unpublished treaty with
Germany are in private hands in this
country The inquiry, authorized by
a senate resolution authorized yes
terday, may take wide scope. 1t is
not expected that definite plans will
be laid, however, until the committee
meets to take up the subject Monday.
Meantime the state department was
forwarding to President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing at Paris another
resolution adopted by the senate yes
terday, calling for the complete text
of the treaty. Officials here will not
make any prediction whether the re-
quest will be complied with. Both
the resolutions although they had
aroused stubborn debate, were adopt
ed without roll call. The action
ended temporarily the discussion
which covered every feature of the
treaty controversy the extra session
convened, but it generally was pre-
dicted that other speeches on the SUBJ
1ect would De heard next week and
from time to time thereafter until the
treaty itself is disposed.
There still remains in the senate
hopper resolution by Senator Sher-
man, republican of Illinois, declaring
it the sense Of the senate that the
covenant Of the league of nations
should be submitted separately from
the peace treaty for ratification. With
the other two resolutions out of the
way, Senator Sherman may call up his
measure and thus provide the vehicle
for more debate on the subject.
