him they would administer the same
treatment to number Of other
Hardin county citizens in the near
future. They gave the names Of
prospective victims, Mathews said.
While he said n recognized four
members of the party. one being an
officer, Mathews refused to divulge
their names. declaring that it was
now personal matter and not one
for the law to handle
Mathews says he was beaten with
a heavy strap until the blood flow
ed. Once while the flogglng was in
process he tainted, he says, but was
soon revived and the beating con,
tInucd.
Mathews, who was driving to his
home. begged down in the road with
his car, and it was while attempting
to get his machine out of the mire
that the men approached him. He
made an effort to reach his gun, he
says. but the men grabbed him be.
fore he could swing it into action.
Mathews is under an indictment
charging him with making liquor.

QUESTION No. 8.
Type of Road and Cost Per Mile


Type of Road and Cost Per Mile
What type of road is contemplated
and what will it cost per mile?
personally prefer concrete. A
road with concrete base and bitho-
lite topping is perhaps the last word
IN road building, but will likely cost
too much
The type and cost will largely de-
pend on what the highway depart
ment says.
We are striving TO get a major
highway, which the federal govern
ment will require TO be eighteen feet
wide.
If built of concrete il will icost
from $4,000 10 $4,000 per mile
$4,000 Is safer estimate.
As maintenance is a bigger and
more important problem than build
ing roads, even If the highway de-
partment permitted il, ! would not
be a party to wasting the public's
money on an inferior and cheap type
or road.
Freight il the big item. and freight
on AT inferior road will be more
than on "A concrete road.
