FULL 8 HOURS
ON ROAD WORK

A new rule has been put into effect
with relation to county road work.
Every man employed by the county
is supposed hereafter TO work eight
hours on the road.
1t is said to have been for long
time to be the custom for road work
ers. or at least some OF them, to count
their time when starting to work; In
some instances where long distances
had to be Travelled to get to the work,
tn actual work did not begin until from
$50 to 10 o'clock in the forenoon.
Now the road employees have to be
on the job at the beginning OF the
eight hours, and work straight thru
that length of time, allowing for a
MONDAY lunch or dinner.

AN OLD RECORD
Of THE POOR FARM

Resurrected from the basement
vaults of the Pueblo county court house
there has come to light an old poor
farm ledger, made to order in 1899 for
then County Commissioner w. l.. Rees.
In this one book, which is large and
thick, there are no less than four diff
ferent classifications as to rulings;
that is, there are four or five depart
ments, each ruled differently to fit the
needs Of the superintendent of the poor
in his accounts with several different
hospitals, charitable institutions. or
phanages, etc. With all these institu
tions the county has had business, and
in these various departments of this
peculiar ledger are the names of per-
sons who the county is keeping or was
at that time, together with their ages,
nativity, occupations before becoming
county charges. family connections,
and all other data that might at any
time be called for
In the year 1904 the use of this book
for some reason was discontinued, and
since that time card system has TAX
en- its place. The card system seems
to answer all practical purposes for the
keeping of the accounts and records,
but when one card is filed, or when
a number OF them are filled, or when Il
patient or a county charge dies, the
card is stored in tho vaults and be-
comes Il matter of ancient history
which is difficult to find If occasion re-
quires reference to 1t.
Several days ago Chairman Rees,
who is again a member OF the board
of county commissioners, and by viz
tue of being chairman of the board
is ex-ofiicio superintendent of the poor
received letter from eastern parties
inquiring about a relative said to have
been an inmate OF the Pueblo county
poor farm a number of years ago.
There was an important fiancial inter-
est in the matter TO the inquirer. 1t
was this inquiry that caused Mr.. Rees
to go in search of the ledger he had
made % years ago.
He proposes to continue the use OF
the ledger as there is sufficient blank
space yet in the book to last for a
year or so.

from people travelling the roads, there
are coming words of praise Tor the
amount of work being accomplished.
Some OF the road workers, II Is un-
derstood. declined to meet the new re-
uuirements, saying they positively
would not go and come on their own
time. In such cases the foreman or
superintendent, as the case might be,
gave them their time checks.

be specialized at least as high as that
of doctors and lawyers. 1t is stated
that the issuance of certificates on

Just why this should be done is not
stated. but presumably because in

superintendcnts are thought not to be
competent to pass upon the eHamina-

that the list of questions is submit

GOVERNOR HALTS SALE OF OIL LANDS
State Owns Many Acres in Union County and the Idea Is Suggested That These Might Make Arkan-
 sas Tax Free.

Little Rock, Jan. Ex-Governor McRae announced today that he had required the state land commissioner to discontinue all sales of state lands until the legislature could enact laws providing for their examination as to oil, gas and mineral deposits, and that he would send special message to the legislature this week request ing such legislation.
 State Land Commissioner Herbert Wilson has agreed to sell no more state lands pending legislative action, the governor stated.
 Governor McRae said that his ac- ton was due ro the fact that the state owns considerable land in Union county, where there is considerable oil activity at present, and was des- ignated to prevent the sale of valu- able oil land at the nominal price of $2.50 an acre, as provided by statute.
 The possibility that state owned lands might provide sufficient revenue to make Arkansas state tax free as far as state taxes are concerned, was suggested by state officials.
