FRANCE MAY OFFER
POSSESSIONS TO US.
BY Universal Service.

WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-Discus-
sion Of the likelihood of Frances Of
fer of her possessions in the western
hemisphere toward the settlement Of
her S4,211 900, 900 debt to the United
States, was received here today by a
report that Finance MINISTER Caillaux
intends TO make such proposition
when he comes here as the head of a
French debt mission this month.
Caillaux's announced optimism with
regard to an early settlement of the
negotiations here can only be account
ed for on some such ground as this,
observers believe.
1t has been made known unmistak-
ably that France cannot hope for such
leniency in funding agreement as was
accorded Belgium. Caillaux could not
propose much less favorable terms,
from the French standpoint, and be
assured of continued support at home.
Settlement of at least the greater part
Of the debt on other than a cash basis
is believed to be his aim!

ton Corporation, the following reso-
luton was passed:
Whereas, the local Executive Board
of the Columbus Branch of the Fed
Grafton Corporation, after years

Unique Method
of Awarding the
Road Contracts
Bids Opened in Public, Tabulat-
ed and Discussed Before
Award Is Made

Columbus, O.--The unique method
of the governor of the state voting
on the awarding of highway contracts
has been adopted by Vic Donahey and
instead of Individual responsibility
for contracts, the state highway de-
partment engineers, as we'll as the di-
rector himself and the governor vote
when bids are awarded. When con-
tracts are received they are first
opened in public and then tabulated.
The tabulation is then presented the
division engineers and superintend-
ents along with the highway director
and governor and round table dis
cussion is held on each and every con-
tract. The bidder must be known to
some of them and his responsibility
determined before a contract is let.
Facts on hauling distance, railroad
facilities and other information is
brought out at these discussions and
there is no doubt but that many
thousands of dollars are being saved
the taxpayers through this unusual
method taken to safeguard the peo-
ple's interests. The next contracts
will be awarded on December II and
bids for approximately $1,000000
worth of improvement will be open
ed at that time. Then the bids will
be tabulated and referred to these
officials and contracts awarded. A
vote of the highway director, Cover
nor Donahey as well as the division
engineers and superintendents is TAX
en- and all must favor the contractor
as being the lowest and best before
he contract is awarded.

Auditorium Manager Elected to Office

At a meeting of the Motion Picture
Owners of Ohio recently held in Co.
lumbus, George M. Fenberg of the
Auditorium theatre of this city was
elected secretary Of that body.
Like most everything George does,
it comes as no great surprise when
considering his capability to hold an
office of this sort. A hustler, a
booster d man of sharp business
ability has placed him on place of
eminence in Newark and surrounding
territory.
When a pusher is needed and
George is available he is usually found
heading the list from start to finish.
Mr.. VIM. James of Columbus was
