Lancaster Loses In
Fennirnore Contest
MRS. JOHN TORMEY
DIES nv COLLISION
NEAR COLUMBUS

Mrs. John Tormey, 80, of Madison
was killed and her sister, Miss Eliza
beth Lynch was perhaps fatally in
jured in an auto accident Sunday af-
ternoon at O'Clock near Columbus
Mr.. Tormey and one son, John Jr
were injured.
While going leisurely along the
road, Mr.. Tormey, who was driving
was suddenly confronted by a small
car containing four girls travelling
down an inclined road leading to a
farm house. In attempting to avert a
collision, he swung his car around in
the loose gravel road, the other ma
chine crashing into his broadside De-
fore either drived could stop.
The Tormey car turned completely
over in the road, the occupants
pinned beneath All crawled out but
Mrs. Tormey and her sister. They
were taken to hospital where Mrs.
Tormey passed away.
Mr.. Tormey is a native of Grant
county and we'll known here. His
wife was formerly Miss Lynch of
Madison. Their family consists o.
six children, ranging from babe to
John Jr., aged 10.

LITTLE GRANT
MAN FOLLOWS
WIFE TO GRAVE
August Morgan Found
Dead in Bed Sunday.

August Morgan, aged 43, Little
Grant farmer, residing on the Robt
Behling farm, was found dead in bed
Sunday morning by hishousekeeper,
Miss Govier.
The Herald learns that while Mr.
Morgan had been i'll and complained
Of numbness in one arm, he had not
had physicians services, at least of
late. DR.. Fowler called to the Nor
gan home after the death, found the
body reposing peacefully in bed No
medicines were found in the house
and in the doctors opinion Mr. Nor
gan was the victim of an apoplectic
seizure.
Mr.. Morgans wife died suddenly Of
heart failure Sept. IS. The death OF
two parents so close together leaves a
little daughter, Catherine, aged, three,
an orphan. She will be taken care OF
by relatives.
Funeral services for August Morgan
were held at Little Grant church yes
terday afternoon at one o'clock with
burial beside the wife and mother, so
lately deceased.

ROAD COMMITTEE
IN ANNUAL TOUR
OFGRANT COUNTY

The Grant County State Road and
Bridge Committee, Matt. Metcalf, John
Kelley, Louis Vesperman, Arch Run
dell and Henry ]. Kettler started out
Thursday morning at sharp, on their
annual countrywide inspection of all
county highways and bridges. The
committee will carefully check the
work done the past season and also
prepare a summary of needed work
for 1924. The digest of the commit
tees findings will be embodied in a
report to the county board when it
meets next month. The highway com
mittee as it stands at present has
been active for the past six or seven
years. Much of the road progress in
Grant county is due to this commit
tees efforts. More progress may be
confidently looked for. The committee
expected to go carefully into the hard
road situation over the county and the
plan of having at least two major hard
roads bisecting the county is looked
upon with favor by the committee.
Commissioner Mink accompanied
the committee on its trip through the
county The committee members
found the patrol roads in the best con-
dition of any inspection made since
the patrol work began six years ago.
This speaks very we'll for the progress
of the patrol system in Grant county.

SHALL STATE TRUNK 80
BE ROUTED FROM CITY?

Shall S. T. L. 80, the trunk line run
ming from the Illinois line north
through Grant county be routed away
from Lancaster?
Unless prompt action is taken by
people interested here, this important
highway will skirt the city instead of
passing through it and Lancaster will
be left in the cold in so far as tourist
traffic on the route is concerned.
The Herald is informed that the
state highway commission plans TO
relocate the road due north from the
asylum and past the Harper and Bid
we'll farms. S. T. L. 65 running from
Platteville and west through Lancas-
ter, will follow 80 to the fair grounds
road and come through on different
route than it does at present.
Losing $50" Lancaster loses an i'm
portant trunk line. Citizens should
get busy.

An Experiment With
the CITY Manager Plan.

Clarinda, Iowa, hired a city. mana
ger to take charge of things in 1919.
At that time the balance in the city
treasury was $4,000. The city's treas
ury balance today is $44,700 and Clar-
india, Iowa, has had installed a water
purifying system, miles of new paved
streets, bought an armory which was
changed over in part to house the city
offices, rebuilt the fire station and add
ed new apparatus, besides keeping up
the current city accounts and neces-
sary repairs for the four years to
date, everything paid for
With all this the tax rate has been
cut.
Evansville has hired Henry Trailer,
the man who made such success a.
Clarinda. at a salary of $4,000 year.
The Herald has always believed
that the old system under which We
operate would work providing the
proper interest was taken. However,
we are forced to the conclusion that
what is everybody's business is no
body's business" In other words,
people will not work for the city for
nothing, stand the abuse, and give the
same attention they would to private
business. Someone has to be hired
who will make city administrator MS
first and only concern. He would de-
mand good pay, but good man would
save the taxpayers money
