Rutledge, Tenn,
Dear Bob-I heard several days
ago of the burning of the Smith
Hotel and was genuinely sorry
to hear it. 1t was, without "aes-
ton, the best institution Of its
kind ever operated in Rutledge
and its passing leaves Rutledge
and the surrounding country at a
very distinct disadvantage.
| was very much impressed
with your idea as outlined in a
paragraph in your last weeks pa
per in which you urge upon the
business men of the town, and of
the contry at large, the inpor-
lance of getting together and es-
tablishing in Rutledge a hotel of
which all of the people may be
proud. The time is right for
such an undertaking and be.
lieve it would lie a success. Good
roads, good business throughout
the country and the unusually
good location are all favorable to
a first class hotel at Rutledge.
Twenty five years away from
the old village has not lessened
my love for Rutledge or its peo-
pie and | am anxious TO see your
idea carried out.
| deeply regret the loss to my
good friend Mr.. Smith but hope
he will join you in an effort to
put Rutledgc firmly on The map
as the one best place to spend
the week end.
l hope to spend few days in
tho old berg some time between
now and Christmas but cant say
when it will be.
Yours, with best regards to
yourself and family.

the automobiles are owned by
people residing in the four large
counties and that therefore an
equal distribution of the funds
to small counties in both wealth
and population, like | represent.
was an equitable one, very much
opposed by the larger counties.
This amendment provision was
the product of my own thinking
and lead the fight on the floor
Of the State Senate to defeat ev.
cry amendment from the Stock
ard bill, and this fight is verified
by the Senate Journal. This is
a direct appropriation to the
people of my counties of $61l5.96
for this yea,, and even more here
after, as the number of automo-
biles increase, out of the gross
state funds for the improvement
of roads that the home owneres
of my counties would have had
to pay, as most of our people are
determjnen to have roads. MY
opponents would deny this claim
but the following letter from the
author of the bill shows they are
mistaken:
Nashville, Tenn, July /, 1920.
lion. w. F. Monroe,
Maynardville, Tenn.
Dear Senator:
Replying to your inquiry
of June 30th, relative to the dis
tribution of the automobile funds
under the bill passed by the last
Legislature. beg 10 advise that
for the last l3 months preceding
the taking effect of the 1919 act,
the 7 counties composing your
district paid i'll auto taxes to the
State the sum of $l5,Sl6.24 of
which they received back this
amount less 10 per cent.
For the first Is months follow
ing the taking effect of the 1919
act, those same counties have to
their credit on the books of this
department $6,115 SO each, or a
total of $42,811,72.
In other words under the new
law your district gets back for
expenditure on its roads a total
of $26 ,995 48, more than they paid
in for the same period of time
under the old law.
l remember distinctly how hot
the fight was when the bill was
up and without pour pots alt'ho it
was just one; we could not have
Won. ~
Respectfully your friend,
r J.. STOCKARD.
A few of the counties have
spent some of their funds for
this year.
A like provision which sup,
ported was included in the Gen.
eral Educational bill which sup
ported on the Senate Committee
on Education, absolutely insures
a seven months term of school at
every school house in my senator

SITUATION IS ANALYZED

Municipal street cleaning is placed
equarely up to the city administration
In bulletin issued by the Bureau of
Municipal Research. This latest at =
tack on the administration for its
failure to decide in favor of the mu
nicipal street cleaning. virtually made
mandatory by the terms of the city
charter. is headed. Where There Is a
win. There's Way"
In the booklet the bureau declares
that II the present administration de =
sired to make a real effort to clean the
streets without the incubus of the con =
tractor system the means and equip
ment could be easily procured.
Director Caven, asked to reply to the
attack on the indecision that both he
and the Mayor are said to have shown
replied: well. the streets of the city
will be well cleaned next year. whether
by the city or by contractors. You
can be assured of that"
The pamphlet presents the issue
clearly in the following statement :
''The administration is faced with the
necessity either of speedily preparing
for municipal street cleaning in 1927 in
accordance with the mandatory pro-
visions of the charter. or of justifying
the continuance of contract work to the
people"
In the beginning Of the booklet the
attitude of the people in assuming
that the passage of the city charter
relegated the contract system to the
scrap heap. Is set forth. The require
ments Of the city charter providing for
the municipal street cleaning in 1921
are then set forth. The report then
cites the report of the commission OF
engineers who visited fifteen cities to
observe conditions that obtain under
municipal street cleaning. Philsdel-
phia is the only large city that does not
clean it's streets. but lets the work to
contractors. the report states. Then
the report of the engineers in unani-
mously recommending the street clean
ing and garbage collection by the city
In 1921 is cited.
Under another heading of The Es-
sentials of Municipal Operation, the
pamphlet continues:
THE engineers report sets forth in
no uncertain terms the disadvantages of
contracting for street cleaning on the
present basis. although after the charter
revision work. any further demonstra-
tion of this fact seems 10 be as un-
necessary as the piling up of arguments
that the world Is round.
''In fact. the decision for municipal
street cleaning was virtually made when
the charter was adopted and now the
problem has been resolved into a deter
mination of whether 1t is practicable to
initiate municipal work in 1921 as is
set forth in the charter"

GOSHEN FARMERS WIN DECISION
IN ROAD ASSESSMENT CASE

A decision that may be far-reach-
ing in its effects if sustained by the
supreme court was given by Judge
Ed Hardin last week in the case of
A. H. James and other Goshen farm
ers against Whatcom County to set
aside an assessment for road that
they claimed did not benefit their
property.
The question in dispute arose over
whether or not the land lying within
a two-mile distance of the road
should be taxed when the road was
not the natural outlet to market.
The highway in question begins at
the Lawrence postoffice and extends
five miles to the Nooksack corner.
Judges Hardin's decision vas TO
the effect that the complaining land
owners, being situated with respect
to the road so they may use the same
only by circuitous travel through
terminal connections, it would appear
that Road No. % is not the natural
outlet of their lands, and that the
benefits to the same lands by reason
of the improvement are general In
character only. This being true, they
are within the class of lands excepted
by the proviso named and may be as
sessed for the improvement only as
part of the property in the townships
through which the road runs out of
the county"
The evidence introduced at the time
of the hearing showed that the plain
tiffs were served Immediately by diff
ferent county gravel roads, and the
Donahue road law, relating to the
assessment of benefits against indiv-
idual owners, provides that the ben
efits assessed to the lots and lands
lying within the proposed improve
ment boundary shall be one
fourth of the whole estimated cost
of the proposed improvement; pro-
vided. that the lots or tracts of land
within the improvement boundary,
whose natural outlet will not be in
whole or in part over said road when
improved. shall not be separately as
sessed under the provisions of this
clause"

Eaa 100 Years Old.

Just before the war began. during
excavations In the ancient Moguntia-
cum, under the auspices Of the Arch
geological Society of Mayence, there
was found a hens egg which was es
timated to have lain buried in the
earth for something like nineteen CEN
turtles.
Moguntiacum was built by Drusus,
the son of the Roman emperor Au-
gustus, in the year IA B. c. Upon
the site of the ancient Roman castrum
or encampment near the city the ex-
cavations in question brought to light
many interesting relics, including
some water cisterns of Roman make.
1t was in one Of these, which was
located some twenty feet below the
surface. that damaged Roman clay
pot was discovered. containing the
shell of broken egg and also a
whole egg that had been kept from
being sma shed by a shred Of the dam
aged pot which covered 1t. The an.
eient egg was deposited In the mu-
nicipal museum.
