Notice to Drivers of Automobiles OF
Other Motor Vehicles

During the year 1918 the Board
of Aldermen promulgated an ordi-
nance fixing the age limit of auto
mobile drivers at IA years. This or

limit of drivers, was adopted May
16, 1915, and reads as follows:-

PEOPLES COMMITTEE
MAKE THEIR REPORT
High Road Tax Levy Certain
Road Work is to Be
Abandoned,

The Citizens and Business Mems
COMMITTEE appointed to work with
the Board of Supervisors to the gem
eral interest of the county at a pub
lie mass meeting June 8, made their
report yesterday to the supervisors
and to a public mass meeting at the
Court House.
The mass meeting unanimously
approved the report and the super
visors accepted it, but took no action
at the present time.
The report in full is as folloWs:-
To the Hon. Board of Supervisors and
the People of Lincoln County,
We, your committee appointed to
make recommendations as to relief
on account of the County's financial
difficulties, beg to submit the fol-
lowing report:-
We have considered conditions
>touching the financial affairs of the
county as carefully and as thorough
ly as possible in the limited time we
have had. We have found that the
county's indebtedness for borrowed
money is $60,00O.00, which is the
limit allowed by law, and that there
are no funds in the general county
fund or the road fund.
We have also found that the pro-
ceeds of bond issue could not be
legally used for working the roads,
therefore it is our opinion that we
should not attempt the issuance OF
bonds at this time.
After full consideration of the
whole matter, there seems to be nc
other recommendation for us to make
except that all road work and other
expenses of the county, except such
expenses as. are absolutely necessary
be discontinued at once.
We further recommend that thu
business Of the county be conducted
henceforth on the most economical
basis possible.
We appreciate the fact that the
Board of Supervisors will be under
the necessity of making an unusual
ly high tax levy this year to pay
the present indebtedness and thu
running expenses of the county, anC
we recommend that such action OF
the part of the board be endorsed b.
the people.
We further recommend that the
tax payers pay their Communication
road tax as soon after September Is
as possible, so that work on the dir
roads Of the county may be resumed
at the earliest possible date.
We desire to express, on behalf o.
the people of the county, our appre
citation on account of the Boards
having called the mass meeting fol
the purpose of acquainting the ta1
payers with the affairs of the coun
ty.
Respectfully sbmitted,
S. P. Oliver, w. D. Davis, B. e
Brister, Joe A. Price, G. s. But

CITY PLAYGROUND
IS NOW ASSURED
PENIS Park and Adjoining Land
Purchased - Liberal Sub
scriptions to Fund.

The Fairgrounds meeting was at
tended by large and interested re-
presentation of our citizenship last
evening. A great deal of enthusiasm
was manifested and talks were made
by a number present, each one ad-
ding impetus to the movement for
public Fairgrounds.
An address by Mr.. Thames, of the
State Board of Education routed all
doubling Thomases; Mrs. T. Brady
spoke for better physical develop
ment; Supt. Ellzey splendidly pre-
sented the necessity of the enter
prise; Mr.. w. L. Spinks kept every
body's face wide open; Mr.. G. B.
Perkins, who inaugurated the move
ment, read numerous letters indors-
ing it with cash contributions; DR..
Cooper and others added to the in
terest and information of the au-
dience.
The committee to provide place
have chosenMPenn's Park which has
become the property of the City to-
gether with adjoining land amount
ing in all to seven or eight acres.
The City Fathers favor issuing bonds
for the $4,500 involved in the pur-
chase.
We want to congratulate the COM
mittee on their selection of a place
that is easily accessible; already a
popular resort on occasion, and a To-
cation that will serve the commun-
lty well on entertainment at Field
Day and other meets and may be
utilized for the public good as a
pleasant resort for. rest or recreation
every day in the week. Especially
inviting will these grounds be to
transient visitors in our city.
We congratulate Brookhaven on
the sure prospect of at last acquiring
q City Park. Such movements show
we have faith in our town and they
heIp to advertise it as progressive
and altruistic in what it undertakes.
we have no right to live in such a
town unless we use it for the pro-
motion of the public good and es-
pecially for the development of our
future citizenship. Mr.. Perkins
states that somewhere. between S1O,-
900 and $4,000 maybe counted on.
$4,000 was subscribed last evening.
81, 200 was added to this amount this
morning, making a total of $4,000
at the time The Leader goes to press.
The committee is still at work and
expects to largely increase this a.
mount.
We reck not what we gave thee;
We will not dare to doubt thee;
But ask whatever else and we will
dare"

Whistle and the Dogs VIII Come, Califoarrnians Think

When the Ingersoll- Rand Company branch at Los Angeles, Calf, cabled c. D. Lane of Ju- neau, Alaska manager for the same company, to get a dog team of seven, the Ca,ifornians perhaps thought that all MT. Lane would have to do would be to. go out on the; street and whistle and the work dogs would come in droves. m
 Almost the opposite was the case as sheaf of telegrams that MT. Lane has in his pos session will testify. Dogs, if would seem at this season of the year, are a scarce article and are quoted at high figures.
 >>Mr. Lane dispatched Jerry Dwyer, dog musher. 10 Haines where he was told to keep on going until he got them. He went over on the White Pass Railroad and after lot of hunt ing and dickering now has a team of seven that he will per s,onally escort to California. Most of the canines were se- cured at Carcross, Yukon.
 The team is wanted by the big machinery company for one of it's clients, the Southern Cali fornia Edison Company, operat ing power plant at Big Creek, California, The experiment. will be tried of using the team to freight supplies to the power station over a thirteen mile road with ten per cent grade to an elevation of from seven to ten thousand feet in the California mountains.

New York. Feb. Sentiment of
tennis players abroad opposes proposed
changes in rules which will be acted
upon at the meeting of the United

Friday, according to letter received
yesterday from II. Anthony Sabelli,
secretary of the English Lawn Tennis
Association. Mr.. Sabelli suggested that
action on the proposed changes by post :
poned here until the national associa

clared here last night, and therefore y
he added, ''it seems a waste of time
to delay action on that account"
