with regret that County Agent u. u.
Derrick has been offered a position "a
manager Of the large farm attached to

tractive salary and valuable perqui-
sites, so that Mr.. Derrick is giving it
very serious consideration.
The states 1880 acre farm has had
some bad handling in the past, hence
the Board Of Governors are seeking
the best available man to put It on its
feet. Mr.. Derrick reputation as the
best county agent in the state very
naturally brought him TO the attention
Of the directors. and subsequent in

what Mr.. Derrick's answer will be We

Hartford cannot afford 10 lose him if a

IGNORANCE is BLISS SOMETIMES

Users Of electricity in Bel Air sud
My found themselves without pow
er Saturday morning, and subsequent
inquiry showed il was due to n tree
falling across the wires. A colored
man, all unconscious of the sudden
death pulsing through the neighbor-
ing transmission line, cut tree on
Mrs. Michael pue'S property near b |
Air, and when il fell across the line
the fireworks started.
Just how the chopper missed instant
death is a mystery as the green tree
made perfect conductor for the over
1000 volt charge. Luck was with him,
however, rs the wires severed near II

down to endanger life, Another tree
along the line was said to have been

MONEY Wasted ON
PA. ROADS. IS CLAIM
Five Millions Thrown ) Away
In 1921, Says Attorney
of Contractors

HARRISBURG. Pa, Dec. 23.-
Five million dollars were wasted
by the State last year as a result
Of inadequate laws under which its
highway system Is being construct
ed, according to a special report
read before the third annual meet
ing of the Associated Pennsylvania
Highway Contractors and the Pub
lie Works Construction Industry Of
Pennsylvania. The report was
made by Charles A. Waters, of
Philadelphia, counsel for the asso-
citation and chairman of its legis-
lative committee.
THE construction Of highways
in Pennsylvania has become huge
gamble" Waters declared. Re
sponsible and reputable contractors
have been driven from competition
in Pennsylvania. more and more
during recent years."
'Mr. Waters said the increased
cost In the operation of the State
highway construction. together with
increases In construction work, had
brought the cost per mile of high
way construction in Pennsylvania
from $22,377 in 1917 to $61.o42 in
1920.
The report recommended the en-
actment of a new highway act con-
solidating and enlarging existing
laws to provide among other
things, for contingencies in execut
ing contracts, decentralization OF
authority in matters Of operations,
creation Of highway advisory
board, requirement for complete
reports to the Legislature, the con.
struction -of highways by contracts,
public meetings annually. arbitra.
ton clauses and provision for sup.
Elemental contracts, deposit Of
bankable securities in lieu Of surety
on bonds, more equitable relation
ship between State contractor and
establishment Of proper agency be-
tween highway commissioner and
his subordinates. The report also
recommended the creation Of a
court Of claims similar to that in
New York.
