HIGHWAY ACTIVITY

AUDITOR REPORTS

Problems Of great magnitude aris-

The business of the department has
grown with such rapidity. the audit

and bookkeeping force were almost
overwhelmed by the added work put
upon them.
THAT the men and women compos-
ing the office force have successfully
COPIED with this heavy strain is a
subject of communication" Mr.. Drew
cry further states. His general con-
clusion is that the department has
made the best showing possible I'M

port, the highway department be-

pie throughout the state. as showing

the highway department las been

that it has been perfectly done N

1.-THE business of this board has
grown almost overnight from a very
small volume to a large one. For
the first six months Of the year the
business of the department was on a
basis of 100000 a year. For the

ness, the office force has been put
under a very heavy strain. That the
men and women composing it have
successfully COPIED with this trying
situation is a subject of commenda-
ton. The business and operations
have expanded SO rapidly that the
system Of accounting, as we'll as the
accounting and clerical forces. were
almost overwhelmed with the amount
Of detail necessary to carry on the
work efficiently. 1t is hardly neces-

Municipal Hen May
Solve Egg Problems,
Poultry Expert Says

SAN FRANCISCO. - Municipality
operated hens?
Why not, asks A. ]. Emery, poul'
try expert. who is figuring on giving
this city the first municipality con
Quoted egg ranch in the United
States.
Any city can go into the chicken
raising business, he declares, anc
the first experiment is being made
California cities.
All big city needs to insure eggs
at 10 cents a dozen, Emery points
out, is to gather together 10000 per,
ons. If each person puts up 50 and
forms a cooperative egg raising
company, an initial capital of $780,.
900 would be available which would
insure a 30-acre ranch of 10000 hens
capacity
Eggs would be delivered daily tc
each share holder, under the plan
and the entire city could get in on
the scheme.

ment, was state dairy expert for Ok

Grafton to the aims of the movement
and we feel confident that the. fl

fifty per cent ahead of last year
Aur appropriations for the twelve
months now closing are 100 per cent

Australia Never
Will Fight America,
Premier Hughes Says

MELBOURNE, April 23.-For Aus
tralia to take part in struggle with
the United States was something I'M
thinkable and outside the bounds of
possibility, declared William M.
Hughes, premier of the common
wealth, in concluding the debate in
the house of representatives today
on the coming imperial conference, at
which Premier Hughes is to repre-
sent Australia. The subject Of the
Anglo-Japanese treaty was prominent
in the discussion, and in abiding to
it the prime minister id:
II have said repeatedly that the
chief problem before Great Britain is
to draw up a treaty which will not
involve us or Britain in struggle
with the people of the United States
The hope of the world depends upon
some sort Of an understanding be-
tween America ard the empire, and
it is to find a way Of realizing that
hope that the minds Of those attend
ing the conference should be direct
ed. 1t is unthinkable and not with
in the bounds of possibility that we
should ever take part in a struggle
bound by any treaty which we dc not
ourselves ratify. although the prac-
tical consequences of war between
Britain and America, whether Japan
was or was not her ally, would of
course have to be faced by us.
Bat even if this treaty be renewed,
it will not bind Australia to go to
war with any country in the world
