The Bidding
 This interesting hand was played in a . duplicate contract match, neither side being vulnerable. South, the dealer, opened with two spades-a forcing bid which de- manded partner to keep the bid ding open. West passed, and North answered with three dia- monds. East passed and South bid four clubs. There is no necessity for him to jump the bid again as the bidding must be kept open until game is arrived at. North showed his hearts by bidding four hearts and South went to six At some tables, with North's holding, the bidding went to seven spades, but with an almost sure small slam in sight. and with such an unusual distribution. North should let the bidding die at six.

This is just one of the many COM

necessary, that are continually In the
ears of city residents.

CITY AND SUBURBAN
ROAD LINK PLANNED
Highway System to Be Com.
pIeted Through Munic.
Qualities.

Many Of the State roads stop at the
city limits of municipalities Of more
than 2.500 population and the traveller
finds that he has more dificulty in
getting over the roads in the munich
palities than in the country. Conges-
ton on the roads Is usually found In
the cities or near them.
To meet this condition some Of the
States have undertaken to improve the
connecting links on State routes through
municipalities, feeling that such work
is essential to complete highway sys-
tenn that will permit one to travel at
will to any part Of the State on good
roads.
Conditions Improved.
In some cases grants Of money have
been made to the municipalities for the
purpose of improving connecting links
and for their maintenance This prac-
tice has done much to improve the
general condition Of the State systems
and has met with the approval of the
municipalities where q large part of the
motor vehicles are registered. The ad-
vantages of this procedure. to the farm
erS is that the municipalities are the
best markets for much Of the produce
of the farms, and the prosperity of the
cities is necessary to provide good mar
kcLS 1OT AZ CASACS
there Is an advantage because the most
usual method of improving city streets
is by the assessment of private property
and these Assessments make taxes high
and to that extent reduce the purchas-
ing power of city folks.
Result Of Taxation.
Since taxation Of motor vehicles
through the license and gasoline taxes
have become so widespread almost a
billion dollars annually is raised for
road purposes, large part Of which Is
paid by city-owned motor vehicles. The
city y-owned motor vehicles are used both
in the country and in town, for the
major part of the country traffic is
city-owned vehicles. However, there is
4 large use of motor vehicles that are
seldom out of the various municipali-
ties. 1t has been found that 81 per
cent of the automobiles are in towns OF
under 10000 population, while only
about 40 per cent of the motor vehicles
are on farms. It Is only in the larger
cities that the motor vehicles do not go
out of the municipality on the country
roads.
