One Million Dollars Worth
Of Roads For Nothing
That is What is Offered Montgomery
County Under the New Road
LaWs---Will we Take Ad-
vantage of 1t?

Under the terms of the new road law, passed by the
1920 General Assembly primary system OF state high
ways is established which will give to each county In the
State at least one main horoughfare and the roads thus
established system OF primary roads. Montgomery
county will profit by two of these main thoroughfares
which are be built and maintained by the State These
are known as Project No. 3d. which extends from Paris to
West Liberty via Mt Sterling and Frenchburg and
Project No. A. which extends from BardstOwn to Ash
land via Lexington, Winchester, Mt Sterling, Owings-
vile, Morehead and Grayson These two thoroughfares
would give Montgomery county permanently constructed
roads from the Clark county line to the Bath county ne
and from the Bourbon county line to the Menefee line It
estimated this chain of State thOrOughfares will be com
peted within 10 to 10 years. but the law further says in
Section H. eff any county desires to construct any part
of any primary road before the State may construct
under the plan and system designated such county shall
make request of the State Highway Commission to
When such request is made, the Commission shall i'm
mediatey investigate such request and if they find the
county has funds available to construct any part of such
road and will pay for the construction thereof the State
Highway Commission may take up Immediately the
structon of such road and will pay for the construction
of such road but they shall not do until the county has
taken such steps they may require to make available
subject to their order sufficient funds to pay for the
sruction of such road When the county has satisfied
these requirements the State Highway Commission may
proceed to construct such road in the way and
under the regulations that they construct other
roads herein provided They shall keep careful count
of the money advanced by the county to the State and
when the project of which such road part shall have
been completed, the State SHALL REFUND TO THE
COUNTY THE FULL AMOUNT OF MONEY THUS
ADVANCED upon proper certicaon of the State High
way Commission
Under the law it may be Is years before the State
builds these two roads which vitality affect this county,
but if vote bond issue and petition the State High
way Commission it is possible for to benefit from these
two thOroughfares without the county being out nt
other than the interest the money construct same
These roads to be of permanent construction main
tanned by the State and reliably informed will cost
from $4,000 to OOO according to the kind of material
used Montgomery county would have between 80 and IS
miles in these two projects Think what this number of
miles of permanently constructed roads would mean to
that would hasten in securing these main thorough
fares? We think not.
Let's prepare NOW to vote bond issue and be
among the first counties in the State to profit under this
new law, which becomes effective July Let's GET OUT

Enumeration:
gry dear Mr. Hoffman:
sFIurrah for Montgomery county,
to 70 over the top in this campaign
is a thing worth while, but to go over
the top even before the campaign
starts, is even better. 1t shows that
your people are on the job and are
thinking about the tendencies Of the
present day.
'If we could only get the people OF
Kentucky to realize the Importance
of this campaign there would be no
doubt about the response, and / am
beginning to feel, after lot Of work,
that the result is going to be more
than satisfactory.
sPlease say to the people of Mont
govery county for me that the Amer
lean Legion is deeply appreciative OF
their response to the call of the citi-
zenship committee and that due pub
licity has been given to the fact that
Montgomery county is the first to
subscribe its quota.
''They have caught the spirit Of ap-
peal. Which is not one of sel6shness
but one Of unselfshness, for these
BOYS of the Legion wish to help those
who are in no position to help them
selves at the present time, and to
make safe those things for which they
fought.
Cordially yours,
"a. T. HERT,
Estate Chairman"
Although the drive ,did not begin
until yesterday, Montgomery county
oversubscribed her quota several
days ago, being the first county in the
state to go "over the top" The sue
cess of the drive is due to the untiring

PRODUCT GAS IN
 USE BY NOVEMBER
Engineer Believes That Con- nections and Installations
 Can Be Made By Then


 Indications at the present time are that Birmingham people will be using by-product gas from the Sloss-S Shelf field by-products plant about the las5 of October.
 Julian Kendrick. city engineer. an nounced yesterday that the pipe line between the plant and the city gas holders will be completed about Octo- Der Is if work on itN continues to go forward at the present. rate Should the line be completed by the middle of October, as it seems that it will be, the job will be finished thirty days sooner than the contract calls for.
 Officials of the Birmingham Railway Light and Power Company stated last night that the by-products gas will be turned into the city gas holders as soon as the pipe line is completed.
 However, it is believed by the pub lie utility company officials that the work on the line will not be com ple ted before the scheduled time and the gas will not be available for use by the city consumers before about December 1. the originally scheduled time for the opening of the main between the city holders and the by-products plant.

P|z|Tz SEES THE FINISH OF REDS IN NEAR FUTURE
Birmingham Business Man Re turns From Extended Tour Through Europe, Reach
 ing Home Yesterday

"There is only one country in the world and that is the United States" said Louis Pizitz yesterday in reviewing his visit to Europe, from which he, Mrs. Pizitz and son, Isadore, returned Tuesday night.
 With the exception of Germany md Poland, the European countries are rapidly overcoming the effects of the war, he said. Even Russia will soon get right"
 "The bolsheviki will die of them selves if left alone and given time do not think they can last another twelve months and if left to themselves they will die sooner"
 GOOD CONDITION
 Belgium, MT. Pizitz said is in the best condition of all of the war strick- en countries. The factories are work ing at almost full pacapcity and the people are working from ten to twelve hours per day. The cities which were devastated by the late war are being built back more beautiful than tte original The people are too busy working to be bothered with labor troubles or bolsheyik theories.
 Although England is troubled with labor strikes, MT. Pizitz said that the condition of the country is good; the merchants are enjoying a good busi- ness.
 Tine department stores of France are all crowded and the country doing fine.
 ''The people of France will come | ack and will not be long about it." he said. The people of France have not much curfidence in the paper money of their country, but there is plenty of silver"
 NO CONFIDENCE
 Germany is in bad shape. The country. he charges, is on the verge of bankruptcy. There is no confideace in the government by the people. There is d spirit of unrest, the people never know one day what to expect the next The money is all paper and business is bad The large department stores are almost all idle. Living conditions are cheap in Germany, however. This is peculiar to Germany. for in the other countries prices are~even higher ,han in America. In England the cost of living is about twice as mulch as in this country.
 Poland, MT, Pizitz said, is in bad shape and cannot last long.

 Making the school a part of the life and activity of every member of the family is the ideal of the board of edu- cation which led them to establish the community center school recently opened at Acipco, industrial suburb of Birming- ham, founded by the employees of the American Cast Iron Pipe Company.
 One-third of the cost of the school which has every convenience for the gatherings of the community was donated by the company and the rest of the ex- pense was borne by the board of edu- cation. The building cost in all $75,OOO.
 The schoolhouse occupies the center of an entire block, which is given over to thoroughly equipped playground for the children. In fair weather the children have the benefit of a clean play park with all kinds of swings slides, sand piles and other equipment for their amusement.
 In rainy weather there is room on the ground floor of the schoolroom where the older children can play and the babies can be rolled in carriages for nice nap while the mothers finish the family sewing, and chat with the neigh bors in the adjoining sewing room
 This is the first community center that the city has been instrumental in estab- fishing, but should this one prove the

 cottage has been built on the groIids of the school for the supervisor principal, who will be q man trained ir the work of the community center leader. He will be on duty day and night to supervise the school and promote com munity spirit among the youngsters d ld their parents.
 The auditorium is large enough for ans kind of community gathering and the furniture is of movable type which can be taken out for entertainments, dances and like occasions All around the center auditorium there are smaller rooms which can be opened up to make one large space in any event where a very large crowd is expected.
 There is a nicely equipped room which can be used as kitchen when refresh ments are to be prepared for an enter tainment and a stage slightly raised and situated so that a play or lecture can be seen and heard from any of the small rooms at the edges of the auditorium.
 Later on when there is more money to be spent in the community, the board expects to have established an up-to-date swimming pool with shower baths ant thoroughly equipped gymnasium fo' the use of the grown people as we'll as the school pupils.

Preliminary Hearing

The preliminary hearing of p.
Luttrell for the killing of James
Gillispie at Corona, particulars
of which we published last week
were held in the District Court
room July 80 and 81, with Justice
of the Peace Ira o. Wetmore in
the chair. The defendant, CON
trary to the expectations of some,
entered a plea Of self-detense,
but according TO testimony of
his witnesses, the plea seemed
in no measure susta I'd, for after
listening to testimony produced
from both sides, Justice Wet
more remanded the prisoner to
Jail without bonds.
His story was that the two
men had quarreled and that Gill
lispie had drawn a knife on him.
He also swore that Gillispie had
made an attempt to draw a
revolver and in order to protect
himself. he fired the fatal shot.
Witnesses failed to corroborate
his testimony, however. as all
parties on the stand seemed to
tell varied tales which really had
no bearing on the case directly,
and as we have said, had no
weight in corroborating the story
.of defendant. Luttrell's case
will come up to receive the con.
sideration of the Grand Jury and
finding a true bill against him.
the case will occupy the atten.
ton Of next District Court.
