the advertising of articles for sale
on farm, horse, cow or feed of any
kind. You could give residence
number and state route so it would
be convenient for any one that
might read your advertisement and
be interested to buy it, to find your
residence.
The present day daily newspapers
are distributed along bus routes on
state roads. So the papers may not
be a day late. How hard it would
be for new man operating bus to
deliver papers along route if resi-
dences are not numbered. He may
have the names of all of his GUS
toners, but how does he know
where John Smith lives along his
route. and there may be new GUS
toner along route and how much
explanation it does take to explain
where he lives on route. But if resi-
dences are all numbered he could
be instructed easily when all daily
newspapers are to be delivered by
to receive papers.
The next thought comes to our
mind-where would the numbers
be SO they might be easily read at
all times?
| would suggest 5 feet from edge
of road surface, on concrete or fed
eral highways, and on other roads
gravel or tar bound between road
surface and shoulder of BERN, and
place numbers on side of road on
which residence is located and have
them so they could be read from
either direction.
The question might arise in your
mind what would you do if the
route was all numbered and some
one would build a residence along
the numbered route? The new resi-
dence would be located between
residence number 210 and 211. The
new residence would be A210 and
If another residence would be built
between A210 and 211 his number
would be B210. There you could
number them alphabetically on the
same number if necessary.
Would the residences in an in
corporated town be numbered? No.
All residences numbered up to cor
poration line and if route extended
the town. Then you would
start at the opposite corporation
line and continue numbering in
order.
Which end of state route would
you start to number? | wuold sug-

HAROLD COMBS SENDS PLAN
TO HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT!

Mr.. Harold combs who resides on
the B. F. Wells farm, at Millgrove,
and is an employe of the state high
way department, has sent to the
state highway director the follow
ing:
AS a member of the Beverly board
or trade l have a plan that I would
like to suggest to the state high
way department which l think will
be very helpful to the department
as well as to the general public.
That all state routes should have
each residence numbered along each
route.
1t would be of help to the high
way director, his engineers, super
intendents and foremen in directing
work along state routes as to di-
rect location, also the letting of
contracts on certain routes to be re-
built. How convenient it would be
in giving full details in regard to
location and how much Of a grade
or fill was to be made by each resi-
dence number if desired. How much
easier it would be for contractors
to find location as to where the
work was to be done along routes
when wanting to investigate work in
order to bid on new work.
The help it would be to State
Highway Patrolmen. when called in
case of wreck. For example, the
patrolman wanted on state route
IT near residence number 201. How
easy it would be for any one to call
fer a patrolman and give the loca-
tion where help was needed. And
think how it would help the patrol
man to know just where he was
needed, and how quick he could get
to his residence number if he knew
just where he was wanted.
The help in time of a fire. If a |
resident were to call city fire de- |
partment. You could call depart
ment fire on State Route q, resi-
dence 25. You might call depart
ment and say John Smith residence
on fire on state route 81 and how
much easier it would be to call fire
on state route 21, residence num-
ber 25.5. The fire chief would I
know just the location and where I
they are needed without finding out
where John Smith residence is To-
Gated and it takes no explaining to
rest of men.
The help it would be for the +
stores that deliver merchandise to-
their customers. 1t would not T
take a man we'll acquainted in a
to operate delivery
trucks.
To the companies that operate
freight routes along the state high
way routes. Freight may be de-
livered along route without any de-
lay. For the convenience it would
be to the truck driver in delivering
freight along route The help it
would be to the farmer if he had
some freight to be delivered to mar
ket He could call freight office
and say: II have some freight to be
delivered to Columbus tomorrow. I
live on state route II, residence
21. A new truck driver
could find the place if not we'll ac-
qsainted along route
The help it would be to newspa-
pers in giving details in regard to
wrecks, farms sold, public sale, or
in time of death in the home, and

amendment, by Senator Borah. Re-
publican, Of Idaho, was foreseen In

But indications were that stiff OPP
position might be encountered In the

Bills passed by the Senate and

UTILITY BILL FIGHT
IN HOUSE OUTLINES
COMPROMISE VOTE
Deadlock Broken After
Month by Adoption of
Commission Plan.
Rx tina Associate Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The famous Senate-House fight over
the utilities bill was all over but the
shouting today, but Legislators still
clashed in a furious post-mortem.
At the urging of President Roosevelt
the House, which had been standing
Arm against the administration plan
for mandatory abolition Of certain
utility holding companies by 1912, ap-
proved q compromise last night, 2ls to
142.
As it did so, conflicting interpreta-
lions were heard. Some said the COM
promise was q disguised death SEN
tence" on certain utility firms and
thus an administration victory. Others
called it triumph for the House. Still
others said 1t was plain compromise.
with both sides giving way.
The House vote yesterday was on a
motion to instruct its representatives
in Senate House parley to agree to q
compromise letting the Securities
Commission decide what holding COM
panies should operate more than one
single, integrated utility system and
what holding firms should be limited
to single system.
Deadlocked for Over Month.
For more than q month the Senate
House conference had been dead
locked. The Senate had voted the ad-
ministration plan for compulsory
abolition Of unnecessary" holding
companies by 1912, and the House, re-
jecting this, voted 10 give the Securi-
ties Commission authority TO deter
mine which should be allowed to live
after 1888.
Under the compromise, holding
Arm could operate only a single, in
tegrated system Of operating concerns
unless the Securities Commission de-
termined that economy, efficiency OF
other considerations made exceptions
to the rule advisable.
Other legislative steps remained be-
fore the compromise could become law
but its hackers said they would be
taken in short order. They predicted
the conferees would reach an agree
ment in about an hour today, after
which Senate and House must approve
the pact.
Opinions Clash Violently.
Representative Rayburn, Democrat
of Texas, a leader in the fight for
the original Roosevelt bill, said the
compromise was not an absolute
surrender" by either the House or
Senate.
In reply, Representative Huddle-
ston, Democrat, of Alabama, q de-
termined opponent of compulsory
abolition, told the House:
Don't delude yourselves. We are
voting for q death sentence There
has been q sleight of -hand-a jug
Cling Of sentences. But it means the
same thing"
OF the floor, Benjamin Cohen. ad-
ministration attorney who helped
draft the original bill. was reported
to have said the compromise con-
tanned most Of the provisions Of the
