COUNTY'S ROAD
FUND IN DEBT
/, FOR S1OO,OOO
Commissioners Seek to End
Excessive Equipment
Buying.

The county's free gravel road fund,
from which all expenses of con-
structing and maintaining town
ship roads are taken. is ovedrawn
about 100000, it was learned to-
day. Records show the debt has
been hanging over the county for
some time, mounting to its present
height ~ the last few years. 1t
was almost cleared in 1925, but
jumped again last year.
County Auditor Harry Dunn ad-
mits the debt is almost 100000"
but says it was worse" He also
predicts that by next spring the en-
tire debt will be sliced away and the
free gravel road fund will show a
tidy sum on the better side.
Check Buying
Word has gone out in the Offices
of the county commissioners that
stop must be put to excessive buying
of road materials and road construc-
ton machinery. According to Dunn
the only machinery that will be
bought for road work this year will
be a tractor.
While county officials are planning
to cut down the debt. petitions are
continually coming in for more
roads.
Following a survey of about 100
miles of petitioned-for roadway. COM
nlissioners announced that as far as
improving them was sconcerned "it
couldn't be done.
This year the free gravel road
fund will get about 100000 from
taxes. Three cents on each 500 is
turned into this fund. Dunn has es-
timated that with a strict economy
program this $4,000 can be utilized
not only in the yearly maintenance
program but also in paying the
debts.
Under the new budget law, passed
by the recent Legislature. it will be
illegal for the county to permit such
debts to mount. This law is effec-
tive next spring.

ATTACKS CAP|TOI'S
 POLICY ON LOANS
Says Congress Should at Least
 Declare Itself

Washington, Oct. If p,-A move mcnt in congress for at least d declaration against the policy Of the state department in approving or disappearing American private loans 10 foreign governments ap- pears 10 bc in prospect.
 This policy was denounced last night by senator Glass. democrat, Virginia, as one both opening the field to scandal at homo and to strife with foreign governments whose applications for loans might be lisapproyod by the state depart mont.
 Senator Borah of Idaho. chairman Of the senate foreign relations com mittce, and other senators also are deIlnit"ly on record against n con- jlnuation Of tho policy, which the senator's insist is not authorized by any law enacted by congress anu consequently is an illegal use os power.
 The current tlarc-up over the ad- mlnistration policy results from the action Of the state department in officially notifying France that 1t would not object to refunding of the S1oo,0oo,000 eight per cent credit which France obtained here in 192o.
 As the situation has been cx- platncd UnofIicially. the idea of granting or withholding approval of private American loans to govern- merts abroad came about during inc period preceding inc rcfunding of the war debts owed the United States hy Great Britain. Francs. Italy and other countries.
 aImm"diataly after the war, when he American treasury was engaged in the vast postwar financing, bankers did consult with the ,roas- uiy IS to whether loans abroad would cmharrass the treasury in it's own program, Senator Glass. who thon was tho treasury secretary, discIosos that m some instances inc lnHns wore withheld.
 However. tho NirgiNian takes thc position that this was quite differ ont from tho bankers making ap- p}ication 10 tho state department for approval Of their loans 10 for

Benny Friedman Gives His Views on Changes in Grid Game

Now York. Oct. II PD-A football evolution which has created a "big fifty in the place of the Big Threc' has made even such stand ard terms of the game as "lcft halfback' and right halfback" meaningless, says Bonnie Fried A'l-American quarterback at MiChi- gan last year, who is here at the head of his Cleveland professional team
 What you've got in the game to- day" said B"nnic as he fonncd togS for workout al the Polo grounds, "aro three backs and signal caller. The day is gone when the job of the fullbaCk was to back up the line, the quarterback was the safety man and the halfbaclls had fixed stations On the right or left side.
 "A player today is either a bacl; or a lincman. That's the only dis tinCtion that can be made. And even that doesn't hold exactly on some teams whore an end is called on 10 hack up the line or tackle Is sent GoWn 10 drag in a forward pass.
 "Of course, your linemcn still have their distinct functions. A tackle goes knifinG in with a r,feh An end must play more Conserva- lively. But the game as whole is more flexible, and tho labels on the players moan less and less"
 Greater floxibility has come in part from the professional game which is q kind Of "post graduate football" Friedman said.
 I'm finding out myself" he drawled, that a pretty good college quarterback is only man in q foot ball suit when he starts Tn the pro- f ssional gamo.'
 There is no Big Three any morc,' Friedman said. Tt doesn't seem 10 matter now whether a school has 5,ooo students or 5oo. They all have good foot ball teams and the door mats are growing rarer.'

 An examination. 75 per cent Of which will be on practical work and the remaining % per cent on theory. will be given tradesmen, provided the common council approves the i dcpartmo ntS program
