Ray Fisher, former star pitcher

Ann Arbor. Tho rest OF the time
he says the salary he can make at
both Is far In advance OF what he
received during most Of his major
league career.
The position now held BY Fisher
was originally rendered TO Pratt
and accepted by him, When he
was transferred from New York to
Boston he signed two-year con-
tract to coach baseball at MichI-
gan and announced his retirement
from the professional game.
Boston then came through witt

We have received the follow
ing letter from Walter NJ. Hos
ford of Newark. Mr.. Hosford is
master of the local grange, was a
representative in the last legisla-
ture and was recently defeated as
one of the republican nominees
for county senator. He is a prac-
teal farmer and what he has to
say in behalf Of better roads is
worthy of careful consideration.
He says:
Dear Mr.. Editor:
| wish | might say something
on the subject of our highways,
their condition and the present
often-resulting "washboards" that
might be of some help in correct
ing the trouble.
| see that Hon. Stoddard B.
Bates, former state highway COM
missioner, proposes remedy by
making a strict law to restrict all
cars to a maximum speed limit Of
% miles an hour, as he believes
the speed of the car is the cause
of these dashboard conditions.
| honestly do not think that that
is at the bottom OF the trouble. ]
believe the way the patrol work is
done has much more to do with
this condition of affairs. Certainly
ii the patrol work is properly
done, there should be no wash
boards to bother.
know that with the proper use
of drags the roads can be made
smooth and kept smooth and
people may drive as fast as they
dare to. By this /, 60 not wish
to be understood as saying that |
think a speed of 25 miles ar hour
is not fair and safe gait.
am sure | could construct a
read drag that will smooth up any
properly built road. would Like
to demonstrate my ideas as 10
this matter and the methods |

could improve the present condi-
ton of the roads without mate

pense.
