THEY DIDN'T SAVE

Saftig Turns Down Call
for Aid from Men Who
Made $40 a Day.
HOMES ARE in DANGER

"Let EN- sweat awhile" was the ul-
timatum which Pauper Commissioner
Jacob Saftig handed down in connec-
ton with two requests for aid made
to the city on Tuesday afternoon.
"And | mean let 'em sweat" the com
missioner declared this morning. "Now
let me explain" he continued. "Peo-
pie who refuse to show any sign of
thrift are not entitled to be taken
care of by the city. The two men who
applied here for aid on Tuesday adj
mitted that for long time-more than
a year-they had received wages of
ten dollars a day, but they declared
that after they had been laid off for
two weeks they didn't have cent
to pay the cost of keeping their fami-
lies. l am not of the opinion that the
aid of the public should be extended
to people to show no signs of thrift
and who expect the public to dig down
and support them after they have
squandered the highest wages ever
paid to workmen. / don't want people
to think that we are going to let lit
tie children starve or freeze, but these
people are going to be allowed to
sweat for a while and seek to find
way for their own support before they
get a nickel out of the city"

Workers Homes in Danger.

Commissioner Saftig declared that
the hardest problem in connection
with the conditions of unemployment
was to save the homes of men and
women who have purchased property
on the installment plan. "Many of
these people have shown thrift and
have tried their best to meet every
obligation which has come up, but
when they are thrown out of employ
ment they have nothing to run their
families on" said Mr.. Saftig. ave are
hopeful that real estate men who have
sold homes to these people will be
willing to. make such extensions of
payments as may be necessary to make
it possible for these people to preserve
equities in homes which they have
bought. Regardless of the fact that
these people have property the city
is going to help them if it is shown
that they need help. We do not want
them to lose their homes and the city
has no right under the law to help
out in these payments"

Pauper List Grows.

It is admitted that conditions of un-
employment in the city has brought
a considerable increase in the num-
Der of calls upon the city for aid and
many of these calls are being answer
ed. The commissioner is not making
indiscriminate divisions of the city
fund for the care of the poor, but he
is investigating every case which
comes to his attention and only those
worthy of aid are being helped. The
fellows who have shown no willingness
to save any of the big wages they
have been earning are being allowed
to Sweat"

To The Newark Journal
 l desire to make the following statement with regard to Road Im- provement District Mo- 1, and my connection with the same, in order that the public may be informed as to the facts in the case.
 To begin with, 1 have always favor ed the construction of a good road through the section of country en- braced in this district, as a means of helping to open up and develop vast area of very fertile country. Good roads are one of the most essential factors in the progress, development, and prosperity of a country, and l have always seen great possibilities for the future of that particular sec ton of our county traversed by this proposed highway; road that is in my opinion one of the most import ant that has been projected in our county.
 The following are some of my reasons for laying particular stress upon the value and importance of this road: The construction of the State Highway from Mammoth Spring ta Batesville, the contract for which has already been let, and the building of the proposed highway from Bates vile to Newark, will mean great deal to our county and will add much to the material progress and advance ment of large section of the state north and west of us. But We need an outlet, or q connecting link, from this highway to the main line of the great North Arkansas Highway, lead ing from Hot Springs to Little Rock and north to the Missouri line
 The construction of the road from Newark to Pafoquet Bluff, as pro posed under the law creating Road Improvement District No. 1, and it's extension to Newport, will afford our people, and not only our own people but also those of the upper counties an all-the-year-round road connecting with the main line of the North Ark ansas Highway at Newport. And with the building of the proposed highway from Newport to BrinkleV, we will then have direct connecting line of road with the famous Bank head Highway into Memphis l say this road as proposed in District i will be an all-the- -year-round road be cause of the fact that the route SC lected is practically above overflow.

COMMISSIONER MAKES
 STATEMENT CONCERNING
 PROPOSEDRO IN DIS. 4

Beginning at the corporation line of Newark and following the railroad to Paroquet, the road then turns south about one-half mile, running thence eastward along a high ridgesto Black river The route from the railroad to Paroquet Bluff is not new one, but is one that was selected by the early settlers of this country more than 75 years ago, when they estab- lished the old Batesville and Memphis road before the war. The route was chosen, no doubt, because of the fact that it afforded passage practically all the year without molestation from high waters from the White and Black rivers.
 As to the Jackson end of the road there has never been any doubt about that end of the road being built. The Newport Chamber of Commerce, the County Judge, and many prominent business men of Newport, have given ample assurance that the Jackson county end of the road will be built
 When the movement was launched h Newark to build the Cord road and the Paroquet road, a meeting of the citizens was called. The meet ing was attended by goodly number of the representative citizens of the community and was presided over by J.B.Ketchem who was mayor of New ark at that time. After a general discussion of road matters, it was the unanimous decision of the citizens present that two roads should be built-one 10 Cord and one to Pare quet Bluff The route for both roads was thoroughly discussed, and result ed in the selections as embodied in the laws creating the two districts. When t came to the selection of commissioners for the roads, this mat ter also was discussed, and ". " Magness, D. c. Selvidge and myself were elected commissioners for Pare quet Distict No. 1, while c. NJ. Fields, P. S. Fortune and ". J. Herrington were elected commissioners for Cord District No 3
 Pursuant to motion duly made and adopted by the meeting, the chairman appointed T. H. Dearing and myself as a committee to go to Little Rock and have a bill framed and se- cure it's passage by the legislature creating the two districts, the legis- lature being in session at that time.
