Hunter. It would have sounded encoura ging and showed some remarkable progress by the same Hunter. Perhaps that is why the council fought shy of hear ing the report. Oe little item it would have revealed is the matter of S200, 900 collected on taxes. The Times told several days ago of the was a method that had been found whereby the bond issue of S75O00O would not have been necessary, and the Town was therefore to save great sum of money.

Volunteer to Get Trafic Data.

The Orleans Community club aud
the Manchester Board of Trade have
volunteered to assist the highway de-
partment in obtaining a census of t-af-
fic in their respective localities this
summer. The department cannot use
its own funds for the taking Of cen
sus because of an adverse suling by
the attorney general. 1t is hoped hat
with the completion Of a sensns Of
this kind valuable information may be
obtained which will make it possible
to adapt the road surface TO the type
and volume of traffic.
Commissioner 7. w. Dix has written
the two organizations expressing
thanks for their cooperation, and has
sent them instructions and forms for
the taking Of the census These sheets
will be sent out to any organization
or person who is willing to assist in
the work 1t is suggested in the let
tiers to the two organizations that the
census be taken at some point far
enough from the center of the village
to discount strictly local and short dis
lance traffic which would affect the
streets more than the highways.
Copies Of United States depart
ment of agriculture bulletin on the
study of tractive resistance Of roads
are also being sent out. This bulle
tin states that information of value
to the highway engineer and the uses
of motor transport is expected as a
result Of research now being carried
on under the auspices of the advis-
DRY board on highway research OF the
National Research council with the
cooperation of the bureau Of public
roads, the department of agriculture,
and the quartermaster corps of the
United States army. These researches
will give the difference in power re-
