100000, 900 for Public Roads

Federal officials estimate that more
than $1O0.OOO,0O will be spent this
year on the construction of public
roads. Congress recently appropriat-
ed S75,000,000 to aid the states in
their building programs. The money
will be allotted to such states as ap-
propriate an amount equal to the fed
eral aid they receive. About 100000
workers will receive employment for
year: in fact, it was the desire Of
congress to relieve the unemployment
situation that hastened the passage
of the good roads bill.

MOULD IMPROVE
TO ADAMS STREET

The widening Of West Eighth

streets at this time was brought to
the attention Of City Council by

this street under consideration in
its Comprehensive plan for the
widening OF certain streets in the
city and that il is we'll for Council
to express its views on the subject.

the old library building, saying that

thinks that before a larger building
lie erected on its site II will be vel
for the city TO widen the street.

STUDY ON THESE
THE TWO TURKEYS

A man purchased two turkeys for
Thanksgiving. one turkey Weighing
seven-eighths as much as the other.
The man desired TO weigh the larger
turkey after he had brought the tur-
keys home, but he did not have
enough weights. Using the smaller
turkey as a weight, he found that
the larger turkey was equal in
weight, he found that the larger tur-
keykey was equal in weight to the
turkey seven ighths as large. and
seven-eighths OF pound. How
much did the larger turkey weigh?
-
Solution: Subtracting the smaller
turkey from the larger we have one
eighth >of the larger turkey remain
ing Its weight is equaled by seven
eighths OF n pound. Multiplying by
eight we find that the larger turkey
weighed seven pounds.
