Dear Mr.. Sherman:
I have your note of the 31st ult1mo,
enclosing two sheets of the Grant
County Herald with clippings as to
building highways across Grant coun-
ty, and as to highway signs.
As to permanent highways. l
would say that there would be abso-
lutely no chance of getting the county
to finance Just two highways across
the county. A bond issue or other
form OF financing for just two algh-
wavs as YOU propose, would go down
nv even a larger vote than the ola
nroposition providing for a fairly
ADEQUATE system. Before a man votes
to tax himself he must see dement's
to himself, and no two highways
which YOU could locate in Grant coun-
ty would benefit majority OF the TAX
PAYERS Of the county, either directly
or indirectly. We find that with
propositions for financing highways,
the benefits must be evenly dlstrlD-
uted throughout the area proposed TO
be bonded or taxed, or you can get no
where,
Now as to signs. I do not know
whether the sign bill will pass the
legislature or not. doubt very much
If II will There is considerable to be
said on both sides of the question, pc
cause there are certain local signs,
such as farmers advertisements, 81
rections to resorts, inns, etc, Whlch
arn If distinct value, and which give
real service to the travelling puDllc.
There are, of course, lots OF signs
totally unnecessary and uns1gnLly
which should be eliminated, but the
summation from the highway simply
drives them over the fences ana We
douht whether the aesthetic IS very
we'll served The question has many
angles and / am not so sure ABOUT
sign removal as | was year OF TWO
ago. ,,4o,,v,,o1,
Two or three of our county highway
denartments have rather arDltrafllN
torn down all signs within the hlgh-
way. but they have simply sprung up
again OIL the other side Of the fence
and | defy anyone to see any great
increase in aesthetic values along the
highways in those counties.
| am,
Yours very sincerely,

Joseph Libby of 80 Water street

sentence of six months in Jail, $500
fine and costs and six months addi-
tional in default of payment, on a
charge of illegal possession of in
toXicating liquor. The respondent
appealed and bonds in the sum of
$500 were furnished by Charles Vigue
and John r. Libby for his appearance
in the Superior court.
Libby was not represented by a
counsel and when asked If he wished
to say anything in his behalf or to
question the States witnesses he re-
piled to the judge: Il have not a
word to say. sir" However, the
respondent charged his mind when
one of the deputies testified to find
ing seven or eight empty bottles in
the house. Mr.. Libby took violent
exception to this and argued that
there were only four bottles there.
1t was ascertained a little later that
Mr.. Libby thought that the deputy
was referring to bottles full of liquor.

sheriff, was the first witness. He tes-

the council believes there should be

compliShed. They saw that it had
been a leadership forward and up
ward, IN an era when most other
countries were moving backward
and downward. They saw that pros
perity smiled once more on favored
land. They saw that prosperity and
material Well-being were somehow
strangely rare in other lands. So
they came to realize what his
modest, unassuming leadership had
wrought for his country.
1t was natural that such a
character, passing from the stage of
life, should leave the multitudes a
sense of personal loss. Seldom in
deed has any mans death left that
feeling among so many. He was
mourned abroad and at home. The
conviction was felt everywhere that
he was one of the men best fitted to
serve a distracted world in a difficult
period of its history.
But he was not permitted to
finish his task. He broke and went
down under it's load. In the hour of
sorrow for his loss, men and women
were moved to a broader charity,
relaxation of partisan excuses, a
determination to be fair and moder-
ate and reasonable. His life be-
came, in the tragic sorrow of it's end,
a lesson in the value of simple and
modest ways.
We mourn him today, and we shall
mourn him so long as remembrance
holds before us the picture of his
patience, forbearance, faith and
Christian tolerance. These are rare
virtues, too seldom found among the
men who have the strength to rise to
high places. They are the virtues
that men need to seek and cultivate
in these years of stress in the world.
They point the way to salvation for
men, for nations. for humanity itself.
We may we'll hope that his example
TO his own countrymen and to the
world, may help greatly to bring a
spirit of charity. accord and true
fraternity. whereby shall be lighted
the lamp of understanding to show
our feet into the paths of peace on
earth, good will to men. We may
well consider by what means we can
show our appreciation, and by what
method we can best enshrine his
memory.
