SPOTSWOOD, May A hint
from one of the members of the
Board of Freeholders disclosed the
fact that a delegation representing
this borough is expected to come be-
fore the county body at their next
session in connection with the IRA w
DEAL on the roads of this vicinity.
While none Of the members would
make any comments on the recent
disclosures, Freebooter George APP

wood is located, declared last night
that the road leading from Old
Bridge to Spotswood was not con-
structed out of warrenite as was re-
ported but constitutes a bituminous

work were secured on open speci1ca-
tons.
Freeholders A%pplegate and DR..
'Bellon said that the freeholders did
not agree to lay a concrete road all
the way from Old Bridge to Spots
wood. Other freeholders felt that
Spotswood was getting It's share in
the improvement program. THE cry
for road improvements are coming
in fast from all territories, the free
holders declared. Referring to the
Spotswoou -Helmetta strip. Freehold
er Applegate said. again that he has
used all the funds allotted him for
that district this year. The road will
be repaired in good shape this
spring, ~Freeholder A%pplegate said,
and every effort will be made to lay
the new road next e
Former County Engineer Schnei-
der, who had charge of the construc-
ton of the road, when questioned
about the higher level of the road as
compared with the sidewalks, said
tina the contractors have worked on
the same base that the former road
was laid on. Mr.. Schneider felt that
there should be no complaint as far
as the work is concerned.
Referring to the material used in
the road construction, Mr.. Schneider
SAID that 1t was a non-patented ma
cadam and n of the best materials.
This process has lasted for more
thar seven or eight years on other
county roads, the engineer said.

ROAD ACTION
At OLD BRIDGE
Want Good Highway so That
Route to Perth Amboy
Can be Reached
JOIN IN COMPLAINTS
FreehoIders May Take Some
Action Before Next Year,
it is Indicated Today

OLD BRIDGE, May 4.-Much in
terest is displayed in the revival Of
the plan to improve the road lead
ing from here into B~ordentown ave-
nue.. South Amboy. Three leading
industries whose plants are located
along the road are expected to join
in bringing some quick action. Thu
Old Bridge Enameled Tile and Brickt
Company which employees about two.
hundred people living in this i'm
mediate vicinity have been enthusi-i
astis supporters of the project since
its instigation some years ago. 1t
was pointed out that the freehold
ers at the time after getting consld-i
cradle pleas from people here I'M
dertook to look into the situation
but nothing whatsoever has been
DONE.
f. F. Simons, borough engineer of
Sayreville township in whose terri
tory the road to be improved is To-
Gated, expressed his belief that the
improvement of that road would bel
of considerable importance not only
to the people here but to the state
as a whole. He pointed out, that iti
would relieve huge traffic strain tol
the shore, it would assist the peoA.
pie to reach Perth Amboy withinEi
twenty minutes by bus and generally
would mean much for the ifnprove-E
ment of this section. :
A good road from Roses corner as
far as the railroad station, Engineer
Simons said, would bring the shore
several miles nearer to the autoists.
He felt that any move in the direc-l
ton of getting q good road to link
Perth Amboy with Old Bridge would
be of unusual benefit to the mer-
chants, dealers and others Interested
in getting the trade from these iso-l
lated districts.
Although it was at first thought
that Sayreville township was not
fully interested in getting the road
paved, further investigation shows
that the township authorities were
the first in line to boost the
improvement. 1t was said, that pos
sibly the turning down of the plan
whenever taken under consideration,
sort of discouraged the township Of
ficials in fighting for that improve
ment.
Lack of q. good road has kept the
section between here and South Am
boy way behind In progress. There
are a few farms, and there is a
strong opinion among the residents
that the construction of a good road
would easily assist in building up
the five mile strip of land, which Is
hardly inhabitated. On the road in
question there are three railroad
stations, Ernston, Runyon and Old
Bridge. ~
To reach the Ernston and Runyon
station during the winter months is
one of the chief questions of the
people here. Automobile triffic on
the road is almost suspended for
several months. On few occasions
attempts are made to pass from
homes to the station by automobile.

Next Week: More Abolt My Search
For Perfect Spinal Column,
The Coconino sun., 1923-08-31
BOLT HITS ARIZONAN
AND HE GAINS WEIGHT
AND FORGETS TOBACCO

Although struck squarely on the
head by a bolt of lightning Au-
gust 13, George Knox, Sr., dump boss
of the Miami Copper company, has
been released from a local hospital
weighing six pounds more and feeling
better than before the accident. Al
though an inveterate smoker for 35
years, he has lost all taste for tobacco
and has quit smoking entirely.
Knox besides being burned on the
top of the head, bears a long scar
down his right shoulder, arm and leg
where the lightning scared his skin
coursing down his body. Knox's felt
hat was torn into shreds and his right
shoe was torn completely off his foot
by the bolt.
Several years ago Knox, while
working for the Cananea Copper COM
pany in Mexico, fell over a 30-foot
embankment and although landing on
his head, he escaped uninjured.

MY search for a perfect spinal col
umn is creating great deal of IN
terest.
So far this week / have examined
Is persons. The scores of these Is
persons are as follows: 110, 14O, 140,
100, 200, 21O, 220, 220, 230, 240, $50,
270, 300, 80, 800.
In making up the score for the
spinal column it is the smallest score
that wins.
I will explain how I make up the
score. | begin by examining the first
thoracic vertebra, and if | find it ten
points out of line, for illustration, |
put down the number 10 for that YER
tebra's score. Then / examine each
of the twenty-four vertebrae in that
way, and by adding the numbers / get
the total score.
And so far the person who has
made the score of 10 has the most
nearly perfect spinal column.
Everybody is invited to come for
free examination. You may win one
of the prizes. Anyhow if you should
MT be lucky enough to win a prize,
you will have the satisfaction of learn
ing how nearly straight your spinal
column is.

was the Big Basin, near San Jose,
where they had wood for fires, tables
and seats movable with the shade,
concrete side stoves with grill tops,
etc.
But he noted how he and other
tourists watched for signs designating
where good camp grounds might be
found. We have no such signs around
here calling attention to our camp
grounds. Tourists miles out should
be advised by signs that we have ac-
commodations for them in the big
pines, with electric lights, plenty of
fine water and wood, delightful cli-
mate, ETC. Many of these tourists, he
said, are looking for places to settle
and do settle along the way. The bet
ter the impression we make on them
the more will settle here.
Walter Miller of Jerome, former
Rotary president there, said Flagstaff
people have wonderful camp ground
but that we are laying down on our
opportunity to let the tourists know
it long before they get here. He said
we should cater more to the tourists
and that our prosperity will grow in
proportion to the increase in their
number and in the length of their
stay here
Carl Mayhem suggested that action
be taken then and there to begin this
advertising. President NJ. /. Powers
referred the matter to Bert Cameron
of city council, who said he'd get busy.
Earl Nordyke, president of the Will
liams Rotary club, facetiously propis-
ed, in case Flagstaff can't furnish
tourists with camping facilities, then
his club will donate camp-ground
to the Flagstaff club.
|. B. Koch added to the entertain
ment with a few humorous remarks
lined with serious import.
President Powers called the meeting
to order, fined some of the balky ones
and also handed out fine to Lo-
rem Cress, chairman for the day, be-
cause he was late in arriving, then

You can get an idea of the amount Of
water represented by a flow of 10000
second feet, or the equalized flow Of
the COLORADO river.
To proeuce the power required all
this immense volume of water must
be controlled by dams, carried through
system of tunnels to immense water
wheels, through first one power house
and then another, perhaps a dozen
times, before it reaches the lower part
of the river and flows into irrigation
canals or into the Gulf Of California.
But it can be done.
Power is the basis of our modern
civilization. Power of some kind.
Where power is available there will
be developed the great industrial CEN
ters and there will be the greatest
prosperity and the greatest opportun-
ity for cultural development. Were
it not for the power available from
our water wheels and steam engines
today, even with our advancement in
applied science in all other ways, our
living would be reduced to the barest
necessities. To produce the produSsS
manufactured in the United States to-
dav by means Of power by hand labor
would require three billions of work
ers instead of the twenty millions at
present employed.
Two-thirds of the potential water
power in the United States lies west
of the Rocky mountains and in this
fact we have an answer to our ques-
tions concerning the future of the
west. We have power. we have raw
materials, we have healthful and stim-
ulating climate in almost all sections,
and on these three things empires are
built
