HIGHWAY ADDRESS BY
HON FRANK FULKERSON
He FayOrs The Bond Issue And
Points Out The Lifelong
Benefits to be Derived.

The Concordia Band gave a
concert at Hugs Park in Hig-
ginsville Saturday evening and
a large crowd was in attendance
enjoying the attractively ar
ranged park and the music. Nu-
merous cars of Lexington peo-
pie went down for the evening.
During the intermission, Hon.
Frank Fulkerson, Prosecuting
Attorney of the County, made
an address in favor of the
North-South Highway an d
Bridge proposition which is to
be voted on in this county on
the 5th Of September. He was
listened to with closest attention
and his argument was convinc-
ing and reasonable. During the
first part of the evening, small
circulars had been distributed
through the audience suggesting
that the reader vote against the
bridge bonds on the grounC
that it would increase the tax
es. Mr.. Fulkerson called atten
ton to the fact that the propo
sition to be voted on on Septem
Der 9Th is much more than I
bridge proposition; he said i
means one more first class high
way across Lafayette Count,
connecting with the highway al
ready provided for across tn
county from east to west, bull
and maintained at state expens
and freed forever from local re
sponsibility for maintenance. H
said the bridge was an incident
the necessary connection acros
the rivera $9O0,OO0.00 bridg'
and another cross state highwa
crossing Lafayette County, a
of which will cost this count
only four cents for each one hun
dred dollars of assessment. H
urged his hearers to give car
full attention to the proposition
and to get such accurate info
nation on the subject that
mere suggestion of tax increa'
such as indicated on the har
bill would not need to fright'
them.
The Higginsville men who a
in favor of the bond issue,-al
they are numerous, and enth
siastic,-said they did not appro
of the methods used by the orr
inator of the hand bill and tn
they favored the highway-brid
bond issue unqualihedly.

Believing there still was hope Of

members of The committee proposed
that the president be requested to

peared as if a resolution looking to
this end might be adopted Word

while, that Chairman Borah of the
Senate labor committee, had such a
proposition in mind, and the House
committee went at once to 8ug-

Chairman Boydh explained, how

had not been advised as to such q
move that he did not feel at liberty

it probably was best TO let the ques-
ton so over. lie intimatcd that he

If some careful consideration des-

ton expects them to act favorably

loudest objections to his proposals
are coming from those who don I
like the idea OF issuing nearly $50
600, 600 worth Of legal-tender Treas
ury notes to finance the transfer

After the Secretary Of Tie Treas

them over to Jacob S. CoXey, OF

a New York marine architect, for
the sum of $365,500 for each yes

ernment would take first MORT

proposes to pay the Goversment for

Coxoy proposes to equip The ships
with motors, declaring That electric
operating will effect a saving Of As

He plans to reconditipn the ships in

submitted by the Navy Department
for such work are as low as those

will have to adopt his suggestions
