SURVEY TWO ROADS ON
 MUNICIPAL GOLF LINKS
City Engineers and Golf Course Committee Study Problem of
 Roadway at Civic Site

Two parallel highways now are staked out through the municipal golf course. One, staked out by the city engineers adjoins another stalk ed out by R. J. Ross, engineer for the municipal golf course commit tee.
 Engineers now are taking levels of both routes. Costs then will be estimated, and upon that basis, State Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald, who has agreed to buill one roadway through the grounds will decide which one he will build.
 One roadway cuts through a por- ton of the proposed golf course, considered the most desirable DOT tion. The other is moved several hundred feet farther west, and &C., cording to Pardon C. Hickey, presi- dent of the Chamber of Commerce, and chairman of the general con- mittee, and Arthur E. Berg, clerk of the board of park commissioners, is the more desirable.
 The route to which the golf and park officials object is the one which had practically been decided upon. If Commissioner Macdonald is satisfied that the difference in cost is immaterial it is expected he will decide in favor of the road to the west

CHICAGO PATROLS ARE PAID SLOWLY
Money Arrives Less Easily to Pay Of City EmplOyS

Chicago, March 1 UP)-Chi- cago's attempt to remedy her finan- cial ills struck another snag today as the 3,S62 employees of Cook coun- ty who yesterday received their first pay checks since December 15 were busy settling Up long overdue butcher and grocer bills.
 The citys campaign to raise STA, ,000 900. the amount necessary to keep the city county and school boards operating until taxes come in next June. apparently has drained big corporations and wealthy resi- dents of their surplus cash. for only a little more than s2,000,000 worth of certificates of the taxpayers trust fund were subscribed for yesterday.
 It was the smallest days subscrip- tions turned in since the campaign got under way and Philip P. Clarke. head of the drive, deemed the out look so gloomy that he called upon universities and other educational institutions to become investors in the trust.
 So long as the subscriptions con- tlnuo 10 come in slowly, officials in- dicated that only payments to meet overdue payrolls and relieve the of- fcring of employees would be made.
 The S74,000.000 goal does no more than meet the emergency. the of ticials of the drive explained. and unless the additional s1e 1e0oo needed is subscribed, the financial distress of the city will be but little relieved.
