NO HIGHWAY GRAFT
IN CALIFORNIA
Governor Appoints Advisory Com
mission For Better Efficiency

Governor Friend w. Richardson, of
California, has appointed a citizens
and engineers committee to serve
without pay, to report on highways of
California to the 1925 legislature, to
aid in eliminating highway graft, if
there by any such, and to show ways
by which an increased amount of etii-
cheney can be obtained in highway
building. Commenting on his appoint
ment of this body, Governor Richard
son said:
1.-THE people heretofore have voted
S73,OOO,O0O for the construction of
highways and this amount has been
expended or contracted for. By acts
of the people and by acts of the legis-
lature the highway system now com
prises 6,400 miles of highways. Less
than $500 miles of this has been paw
ed and less than 1000 miles has been
graded. The State highway engineer
estimates that it will require $780,
100000 to complete the State highway
system, as it now exists, and in ac-
cordance with the standards demand
ed by the present traffic.
Hundreds of miles of highways
have been voted into the State high
way system by legislatures with little
thought or consideration as to whether
these are necessary roads or not.
Many of these roads are, in fact, pure
w and simply pork barrel roads,
which never should have been IN the
highway system. The commlttee 1
have appointed will, 1 hope, have the
courage to investigate the problem
thoroughly and decide what roads
should be in the State highway sys-
TEN and what roads should not be.
81 have appointed a committee OF
citizens who will serve the State with
out compensation and whose report
should have great weight with the
people"

CHEAPER ROADS BY
STATE PURCHASES
Wholesale Buying Saves Taxpayers
Money


materials by States is a method OF
saving taxpayers money is demon
strated by the records of several
States which have adopted a central
purchasing department for all ROAD
materials. North Carolina, Mlchlgan'
Illinois, Wisconsin, Delaware, Con
necticut, and Indiana are among the
good-roads States thus cutting out
waste and centralizing their Duylng'
B. H. Piepmeier, State engineer tor
Missouri roads, estimates that cen
tralized buying has saved the snow
me" State over $3,OOO,0OO. In addition
to the saving due to low prices on
large lots in wholesale quantities, the
unified purchases save time, red tape
and fuplication. Regarding the plan'
Mr.. Piepmeier says:
at could be tried with success IN
other States. The plan secures steauy
supply of cement, speeds up deIVery'
and reduces the expense to the TAX
naver. North Carolina has saVeu
$3.50 900 in three years in this way
The contractors are better pleaseu'
too on account of competition WIN
nrivateIv operated plants. Because OF
the great expense in gettlng sCaI.o9'
If was decided that it would be mad
visable for the State to manufacture
so the commercial plants were en-
Iarged. In my opinion, Government
onerated plant can not be so e1nclehI-
" operated as a privately owned one
in which keen competition keeps tne
managers active all the time. A prl-
vately operated plant does not suIIeI
from political turnovers or other such
influences"

An examination for city mail car
riers for Georgetown will be held

also the placing of about fifteen mail

started within a short time so as to
be in readiness for the delivery
which starts on April 1. An entirely
new system of house numbering from
that which was done here about tWen-

the Government it is said.
Miss Kitchens Injured In Accident
Miss Hetty Kitchens, daughter of
Francis Kitchens, of Broadkiln Neck,
was seriously injured last Sunday
night while returning to her home
from Georgetown in company with
John Jester, of near Redden, when
the automobile became unmanageable
because of the slippery condition Of
the road and capsized, turning turtle
twice and throwing her out.
The accident happened half way be- |
tween Georgetown and Milton, on the |
dirt highway, and was caused when
the driver attempted to steer the ma
chine to one side of the road in or
der to allow another machine to pass.
The crown of the road was covered
with sleet and so slanting that it
caused the machine to upset in one of
the side-ditches, resulting in the SER
Ious injury to Miss Kitchens, who
sustained a severe injury to an eye,
some broken ribs and a broken limb.

MAY AUCTION MODELS
OF OLD INVENTIONS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 80. CAP
What to do with all the old-tlme
models, now in the custody OF the
Patent Office, is awaiting solution
and efforts will be made at the
coming session of Congress to clar-
fly the situation.
The demand for space IN the
Patent Office ousted the models
from their exhibition cases at the
end of the last century, but the gov
eminent has had to continue pay
ing space rental for them. A pro-
posal now being considered is t.
have a commission appointed to SORT
out the models that might prove OF
historic interest, and perhaps sell
the others at public auction.
The general requirement of hav-
ing the inventor submit a model with
his patent application was discon-
tinued about 1880. Today the law
6lrects that the commissioner of
patents in his discretion may require
model furnished,
