3-YEAR HIGHWAY
PROGRAM IS AID
To GOOD ROADS
Congressional Plans Clear Way
for Banner Construction
Over U. s.

Federal aid in the construction OF
highways was definitely assured for
three years more when members OF
the House and Senate voted this
week to authorize appropriations Of
$50, 900 600, $65, 700. 900 and $75.o00.'
900. respectively. for the fiscal years
Of 1928. 1924 and 1928. Further sums
Of $6.500,000 were voted for each of
the fiscal years 1924 and 1926 for for
est road construction. the funds for
this work for 1923 having been cared
for in earlier legislation.
The authorization for 1928 carries
with II definite authority to the Sec
retary Of Agriculture to enter into
contractural relations with State
highway commissioners for road con.
struction.
The appropriations will be made
under the provisions Of the Federal
Aid act Of 1915 as amended in 1919
and 1921, which means that the ex.
penditures must be made on those
highways comprising the 7 per cent
system of main roads. The States
are required to maintain the high
ways once built.
The most important change in the
organic act is an amendment which
limits Federal Aid participation to
$16,250 per mile for 1928 and to
$4,000 per mile thereafter. This
contrasts with the $4,000 per mile
maximum of 1919 and the SIC, 900
limit of 1915. The limitation will
work no hardship in average condi-
tions, but for special situations
where traffic has become very heavy
1t is not improbable that some
change will have to be made at q
later session Of Congress to prevent
the waste resultant from too low a
| type of construction. Other changes
in the law permit the Government to
Join in the construction OF railroad
underpasses, and provide heavy
penalties for misuse of Government
funds.
The Government has now appro-
priated or authorized a total road
fund Of $5S7 ,000. 900 since the pas
sage Of the Federal aid act in 1915.
| Figures Of the bureau Of public
| roads show that construction has
been proceeding for the last three
years at the rate Of approximately
| $50. .000,00 annually in Federal
|
have now become we'll stabilized. II
is anticipated that this rate will be
! exceeded in 1928 and succeeding
years.
| With a reasonable accumulation Of
funds from past years on hand as
| the fiscal year opens, the appropria-
tions for 1923 and 1924 seem suffi.
cient to enable the States to proceed
at a maximum Of efficiency. 1t will
probably be found, however. that
appropriations for 1925 will have to
be increased somewhat as by that
time the peak Of highway produc-
tion should be reached II the ma
tion is toThave a completed system
of per cent of its highways within
the decade.
AS it is, the fiscal year beginning
July ], will be the largest in the his
tory of road construction, II normal
conditions Of freightage and material
prevail.

CADILLAC HAS
NEVER HAD To
REPLACE ENGINE
That Is Considered Greatest
Tribute to Motor, Says
A. v. Widman.

The Cadillac Motor Car Company
has never had to replace an eight
cylinder engine. That. according to
A. U. Widman. manager Of manu-
featuring, is one Of the best tributes
he knows to the Cadillac motor.
In testing each motor a long series
of arduous tests are made, one of
the first and most interesting being
the block test.
One Of the unique things about the
engine block test of the Cadillac
motor Is the fact that 1t starts under
its own power without having
previously been belted in. Once
under way, the motor runs under
its own power for nearly a day. The
load is gradually increased up to a
tremendous speed at the end.
The electricity generated during
the last -four hours Is used by the
company in production. as is the
water, which is heated to $50 degrees.
The electric motor that the engine
runs against acts as the friction of
the road, so the test is made under
as nearly actual conditions as 10
possible.
II the motor has proved salts

drained from the crankcase and a

SdueakY Door.

In cars fitted with old style tops,
door squeaks are sometimes caused
by pulling the top straps too tight

irritating squeak results.

Circus coming to Stoughton Saturday

'Iittle Vic" is hippopotamus,
aged six months. All American is

was born under the shadow of the
Washington Monument in the Wash

the Gollmar Brothers management in

winter quarters in a crate, although,
despite his infancy he tips the scales
at 1,200 pounds.
Passing through Chicago "Little
Vic" visited his cousin, Primrose
aged ten months, the pride of the
school children of the Windy City
and the star exhibit Of the Lincoln
park zoo. The two baby hippos talk

Power In Silence.

The proper value of the power Of
silence is probably best expressed IN
the Scriptural reference to the various
commissions of nature, the wind and

small voice. Ginning down to more
recent period and less renowned
authority, we are reminded of the man
who advised his son TO keep his mouth
shut so that people would not know he
was a fool. This advice is still good
for the great majority. Astronomy is
said to be one of the best means of

Coal Prices.

The public should not stand for any
boosting in the prices of coal. Edger-
ton yards have not advanced prices.
The cost Of the available supply is no
higher today than it was sixty days
ago. There is scarcity of coal, and
there is temptation to push the price
up to profteering rates when the de-
mand exceeds the supply. But the pro-
duction of coal now on hand, as we'll as
the production of coul which will be
mined, is not costing the mine owners
any more to mine, nor the railroads any
more to haul-the Lord knows it is high
enough than it did before the strike.
Brokers who have bought coal in order
to make an extra profit by rehandling
at time when the public is suffering
from want of fuel are not serving the
public, they are bold-up men who take
advantage of the defenseless condition
in which many people now find them
selves.
There is no coal on the docks in Mil
waukee, the local yards are short. But
people in Edgerton have the confidence
in their local coal dealers that they will
protect the homes in this town against
the price boosting spectators who are
making the shortage of coal an excuse
to advance the price. Now is the time
when our local dealers can be of the
highest service. to their customers in
this trading zone, and whatever they
can do to take care of the city fuel sit
uation so as to avoid suffering by want
of coal and in the fairness of the
charges made will earn for them debt
of gratitude on the part of our citizens
