present who has had experience in build
ing concrete roads. With regard to
taxes, | agree With him, but | am afraid
1t won't stop at that, there is a good
deal behind this proposition. When the
road is built will the Government keep
1T up or will it necessitate more taxes on
our part? | feel that | am paying as
much fax as | can conveniently pay to-
day. II we are to pay more 'axes for
the sake Of building an expensive road
of this sort, | will not vote for the bill.
| reserve further comment until | hear
what the committee has to say upon
the proposition. The majority If US do
not know anything about building con-
crete roads if the Government is going
to take over the building of and upkeep
OF the road, that would put on a differ
ent phase altogether, otherwise let
there be another kind of road made and
save a good deal Of money.
1st Member for Frederiksted Country
District (ADdeTsen) remarked: Mr.. Chair
man. In order to make it clear to the
last Honorable Speaker | will read Sec
ton 4 of the ordinance 1.-THE member
read the section referred toy and contin-
ulng said, These taxes, | estimate will
bring in about 81, 900. 90 a year and that
will not only go towards maintaining the
road, but also to pay off on The first
cost of the road. I regret that before
the ordinance was introduced there was
not provided a specia! section 70 make
it clear that the idea is to have the road
when repaired pass into the hands of
the Public Works Department as a Mu-
nicipal Highway. something like the
State Highways in the United States
and other countries.
, 1921-03-30

Mr.. Chair nan. II seems to me that we
are all agreed that we want good roads,
but | fail to see any one in this Council
who is able to give the advice we need.
The Public Works Officer, probably is the
only one who has the requisite know
ledge. One or two things we are just
beginning to leak from the meetings
held prior 0 the introduction of this Or
dinance; if all the matters discussed
we're put in concrete form, members of
this Council would be able to give a bet
ter idea.
| have had my road condemned, but
this is due to bad material; as | belle We
the Chairman of the Road Commission
will agree with me that | have spent a
considerable amount of money on repairs
to my road this year; che materials used
were bad, and am subject to a fine.
There are some of us who are placed
in more difficult positions than others;
some have good materials and near at
hand; those of Us who are not pla ed in
such a position have it very hard. All
the roads are il bad order, and we all
want good roads, but there is no ques-
ton that the center line road is the most
important, am prepared 10 say that We
cannot keep up our roads under present
COu{llIlOuS. LIE lTQChS EuilIIIS OVER lLS
roads are very heavy and the t%railers are
doing much more harm. Every one in
the Council except the prepayment of the
bill knows very little about building
roads. We do not know what it would
cost to rebuild this road with concrete;
we do not know what the upkeep would
be: we are only asked to provide a some
of money for the building OF a road. We
should have a more explicit idea so as to
enable US to give an intelligent opinion
on the matter.
4th Appointed Member (~BIackWood)
remarked: Mr.. Chairman. My opposi-
tion to this bill in its present form is
prompted by what | consider is justice
and fairplay to the majority of taX-pay-
ers in this Municipality.
In my opinion a concrete road between
the two towns is unnecessary, and would
prove too expensive for the Municipality
to bear under any circumstances, and
especial under present labor conditions
and the high cost of building material;
and the fact that an expert road builder
would have TO be employed.
The normal climatic conditions of this
island are very favorable for the build
ing and maintenance of first class maca-
damized roads, fit to carry any weight
required OF them, six to eight months of
dry weather as a rule prevails here per
annum, and it is almost dry during the
crop season when most of the traffic

 PASSES AWAY
 IN POVERTY

FIT. CROOK, Neb, Feb S.-"Coal Oil Johnny is dead The most wide ly advertised spendthrift the coun- try ever knew died in poverty here where he was station agent for the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail- road. In the days of his pros perity he spent as much as $100, ,000 day. And the day came around as regularly as the sun. When he died he made about $3 day and the pay car only came around once a month.
 Neither the oil that produced his fortune, nor his money, nor the way he spent it brought him luck or hap piness. He spent the last fifty years of his life paying for the follies of his youth, in poverty and toil
 John w Steele, for that was his real name, was born on farm near Sheakleyville, Penn, and, as he was orphaned in his youth, he went to live with his aunt, the Widow Me Clintock, in Venanga County, Penn Oil was struck on the McClintock farm and the flow was leased on a royalty basis. The Widow McClintock knew farms but not oil and lived as she always had lived, putting the money which rolled in into a big safe ill her dining room. One day when she threw a dipper full of the fate Johnny had failed to provide kindling, full oil on the kitchen fire and her interest in earthly affairs ceased at once.
 Johnny was sole heir and when the big safe was opened he had over $500,000 in cash to play with. He ran through his find faster than the oil gushed from the wells. He prac- ticed every form of extravaganza. He bought hotels for a night He de- clined to ride in any vehicle which he did not own and the country was studded with cabs he had bought and given back to their drivers after he was through with them. He owned minstrel show and spent thousands entertaining members of the con- pany. But he did not have a good time. He admitted 1t himself. In one instance he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to have a hotel clerk discharged and after his money was gone, the hotel clerk got his job back. When his oil ran out. his money ran out too and he spent the remain der of his life in hard, grinding toll. taying fo" the fun" he had not had.
 Coal Oil Johnny's motto was: "The only use for money is to spend it. , But the motto lasted no longer than the money, for after his brief splurge he could not get it to spend. The best use for money is to save and invest it. Had he put even a part of his for tune or of his daily earnings into sound government securities he would have assured for himself a future free from toll and the scorn of those with whom he associated.
 Fewer chances to save money and invest it safely and profitably existed in Coal Oil Johnny's youth than exist today. Now government savings se- curities offer a safe and profitable means of providing for the future and making it both safe and happy. The $1 treasury savings stamps and the $25 treasury savings certificates are a safe and convenient means for pro- tecting what you earn and making it work for and with you.
