BETTER HOMES FOR
BETTER TENANTS,
ALVERS0N SAYS

j. s. Alverson Of Glenn says he
has taken note of the campaign for
better buildings and better improve
mcnts on, the farms and for clearing
up new acreage. Mr.. Alyerson says
that when a better class OF tenants are
here that better buildings will be pre-
pared for them. He had TO buy lumber
to repair a house where the man had
cut it away for stove wood. Rather
than go gather wood the man had
taken his axe and trimmed the house
TO get wood for cooking purposes.
Such incidents as Mr.. Averson re.
fers to have also happened in Ard
more. At one time J. b. Spragins al
lowed a family to occupy one of his
houses. The house was returned to
him without any rent having been
paid and with the partition taken
away, the window and door facings
trimmed and the joists cut out for
the purpose of being burned in the
stove.

The council voted to support the pro-
tect In every was possible.
The question ef roads was discuss
ed quite freely. The repairing and
keeping up OF county dirt roads is
often done by men who know nothing
about the fundamental principles OF
road. Owing TO the high cost of
building hard roads only a limited
mileage can be built in q year 80 we
must have dirt roads. Why not have
some one, a graduate engineer who
can oversee this work so that we can
nave uniform system OF roads. The
county should have a County Road
Engineer.
The annual exhibit which has out
grown the present methods oi hand
ling was discussed NJ some length
Would It be advisable 10 have only
the exhibit without the speaking?
Can the speaking be held in one
place and the exhibit In another
Would Il be advisable 20 hold the ex-
hlbit in a tent? These questions
were all discussed but no definite con
clusion reached.
The consolidation Of schools, by
closing the one-rOomed schools and
large town schools came IN
for lis share OF criticism II WAS the
opinion OF those present that the first
six grades should be kept as near
the home OF the pupils as possible,
and that the rural high school can be
as large and important In the lives
OF it's pupils, as the high school IN
town.
Cooperative buying Of this falls

mittee was appointed TO look into the
matter.
