At recent meeting of the board o
county commissioners comprising Joe
Taylor G. W. Young and George Ev
ors, the question OF the state roaC
leading from Lone Grove Ito Healdtor
was discussed. Money for the construc
ton Of the road, it was stated. has
been apportioned $4,000 of which
has been paid over TO the highway
department, $4,000 remaining in the
hands of the commissioners until such
tine as the building OF the road is
begun.
Bids have been submitted for the
building of tho road including road
building material of concrete, gravel,
native rock asphalt. The first cost on
each of the materials shows that con-
crete Is the most expensive, rock asp
halt next, and the gravel the cheapest
ali of the materials will be shipped.
The commissioners had given out
previously that they advocated the con-
struction of q gravel road, stating that
the funds available would not per-
NIT Of its being made of concrete or
asphalt.
Col. Sidney Suggs, who is known
throughout the country as the "orl-
ginal good roads man OF Oklahoma" :"
ana who was the first highway COM
missioner of the state, was present
at the meeting of the commissioners
and went on record as opposing the
construction OF the gravel road--"it
may be the cheapest TO construct, Mr..
SuGgs staked. Durability must be the
first consideration, and the most
economical road ever built was the
one that would require the least up
keep or maintenance.
"A gravel road built TO meet. the re-
quirements of an oil field road would
bsphalt. and the upSeep of same would
be greater Khan either OF the other
two" Mr.. Suggs declared.
After many years spent in good
reads work my mind has not changed
with reference 10 the building OF
permanent construction of roads," Mr.
Suggs continued. Years ago advocat-
cd building OF concrete bridges and
culyerts to take the place of the then
prevailing wrinkled tin culverts, and
anGled iron bridges, both of which
have long since ceased 10 exist in

Strucuon been placed Ehere first,
thousands of dollars OF the tax payers
money would have been saved. ! do
not need TO go into details Of this,
you TIL, I am sure recall the fight
put up and finally won.
'Oklahoma's own product the natrr-
al rock asphalt, when properly con-
structed is the best building material
that he has found in all Of his ex-
perience," Mr.. Suggs stated. At this
time Mr.. Susgs referred TO reporss OF
some of Americas well known paving
and roadbuilding engineers, including
Sir Peokham OF New York, who Wis
ited Artlmore several years ago and
who said that Oklahoma native rock
asphalt was equal to that found in
Sicily with which many of the cities
and roads in Europe were built and
have been in use from 80 TO 100 years.

Suggs stated that Mr.. Kingsley con-

IL Ceremony is Held
Some Other American
Will Take the Medal

American Battalion Goes Back to the
Rhine-It Was to Go to London
Failure Of British to Reply to
American Inquiries the Chief Rea-
son-General is Embarrassed.
Paris, Oct. general Pershing will
not go to London to lay the congress
sional medal on the tomb Of the Brit
ish unknown soldiers in Westminster
abbey, and il the ceremony is held an
other American officer will be desig-
mated to represent the United States.
This announcement came tonight
from most authoritative source.
. Lack of time available for the trip
between now and October 20, when
General Pershing sails for home is
the official explanation for his decision
to abandon his visit to England. It is
learned, however, that failure Of the
British war office either to fix date
for the ceremony, or, until late yes
terday, to give any explanation for
not replying to repeated : inquiries
from the American embassy officials
is the chief reason for General Perish
ing's decision.
General Pershing came to Europe
for the purpose of laying the congress
sional medal on the tombs of the
I0nCn anu Dr1ClSfl unknown SOLuIGFS.
The Washington government so in
formed the British government early
in August, and again when he sailed.
So far as can be learned no answer
was received to either communication,
which asked that date be fixed for
for the ceremony and that the general
be informed.
Since his arrival in Paris further
inquiries have been made at the Brit
ish foreign office through the medium
of the American embassies in London
and Paris. One of these inquiries de-
veloped the explanation that such cere-
monies usually took long time to
arrange.
