service to his party by showing that
the old gang could elect one man
who would give the county a good
administration. He had the requisite
knowledge and ability, plus the Iver-
son voting machine, to serve the
people with. What did he do?
Could he get as many votes now as
he did last November? Even Mr..
French himself would hardly say so.
And the place he showed up to the
least advantage was in his treat
ment of Hans Rasmussen. He show
ed a hitherto undisplayed smallness
in depriving the county of the SER
vices of its elected County Survey
or because he disliked Rasmussen
and could not bend him to his will.
What is the result of the personal
dislikes of Commissioner French?
The roads are in the worst cOndi-
ton they have been in for years.
The bridges are in dangerous shape.
Despite the fact that the county is
equipped with the most expensive
new machinery money could buy, the
highways are going back into the
condition they were in in pioneer
days. Commissioners who know
about as much about the care and
maintenance of roads as an Antelope
Kluxer does about Astronomy are
experimenting with the inspection of
roads. The man who has proved his
competency by giving Sheridan
County the best roads it has ever
had, is Disseminated against because

Oning is at hand. 1t is a long road

DANGER OF FIRE
At ASYLUM GREAT
st. EIizabeth's Has ProteC-
ton Less Than Half Time,
Report Says.

Serious fire hazards at st. Eliza
beth's Hospital and the need for
modern firefighting equipment and
lack of night force to man what
equipment there Is are stressed In

ment institution today by the District
commissioners.
A fourth-class fire engine drawn by
horses stabbed remote from the fire
house, four hose reels and smaii
hand drawn truck with an extension

ment quits work each afternoon at 4
o'clock.
Urges New Force.
The report, prepared by Deputy
Fire Marshal c. G. Achstetter, and
sent TO Monte Sanger, assistant to
the Superintendent of the hospital, Is
similar to one made in 1920. 1t was
based on a personal inspection by Ach-
stetter at the request of Mr.. Sanger,
who pointed out that various sugges-
tions for improvements in the nre
protection SYSTEM had been made by
committees of Congress, but that al
vice of the District Fire Department
was desired.
A fire-fighting force of sufficient
numbers to permit alternating shifts
so that a crew will be on duty at all
times. Mr.. Achstetter reported, should
he organized, and new fire apparatus
consisting of triple combination
bumper, booster pump and nose
wa CON. and one aerial truck should be
acquired to replace the present equip
ment.
The hospitals fire apparatus, the re-
oort explained, is now under tre super
vision and control of one man Who has
assigned to him q number or employees
Of the mechanical force. These men
are instructed to respond to an alarm
of fire from the siren. The "chief or
