the highest quotation in over two months,

Good Evening
By Row X. MouIton
SUM M Err!

SUMMER!
It's moonlight on the Hudson,
1t Is mating time in Maine.
The unbalanced ladies scan
The offing for a swain.
Through gently drifting twilights
Each local Cupid goes.
To steal certain authors stuff,
The dew is on the rose"
Some boarders seek the seaside,
Some boarders seek the hills;
The single ones in either place
Seek sentiment and thrills.
And find them in a motorboat
Or roadster built for two;
The same as we did way, way back
In buggy and canoe.
The scenes are set for courtship,
The actors need no cues.
The lovers get accepted
And the parents get the news.
Kaleidoscope summer flirts,
Then later as per plan,
The parson carries on the Job
The mellow moon began.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-07-29

repairs are futile. This years work will wear
out within twelve months.
A month at least will elapse before the re-
the highway commissions organization, lack of
coordination among units, and job too big for
the commission are regarded some of the rea-
sons why delays have marked the course of road
work in Indiana under the new system.
AS example of the red tape system, this
on the National road, it had to be passed on by
two officials, one residing at Connersville, the
other at Greenfield, and then it had to be re-
ferred to Indianapolis for final approval.
Again, the commission will not pay more
than 40 cents an hour for labor. Its officials are
unable to employ labor at that price in many
localities in this state, Richmond being one of
them. The result is that work is delayed and
sometimes held up indefinitely.
Owing to red tape and the necessity of minor
officials awaiting approval of their recommen-
dations before they can go ahead, inefficient re-
suits are attained. The $4,000 that is to be
spent on the four highways out of Richmond is
an example. Repairs to the National road in
volve outlay of money that should have been
saved The road does not need repairs, but
needs to be resurfaced. It is badly worn.
The commissions maintenance policy is un-
sound if it intends to spend money for repairs
on rSads that should first be rebuilt. It's a
waste of meny to try to maintain roads that are
disintegrating.
