ROAD PROGRAM FOR OHIO

National as we'll as statewide rec
ognition has been merited by Ohio
for it's careful preparation of the
road program of the state highway
department for 1885. Upon instruc-
tions from Governor Davey, the
strictest surveillance has been main
tanned by the state highway depart
ment to assure the states reaping
the fullest benefits of the $25, 5,000,-
600 program of highway improve
ment and the elimination of hazards
at grade crossings. To eliminate
methods that might creep into the
program, Ohio has made sure in ap-
proving projects that they will
achieve the twin object of stimulat-
ing relief employment and at the
same time give the state a program
Of highway improvement best adapt
ed to local as we'll as statewide
needs and conditions. In conse-
quence, it is pointed out, the high
way program will have far-reaching
results. AS prepared the program
opens the way for the state highway
department TO cooperate more fully
in many instances in local projects
where suitable conditions prevail.
This cooperation is providing Ohio
with highway praiseworthy for it's
all-around balance of accomplish
ment when completed There is to
be real good done because the work
will be thorough and complete, since
the cooperation removes the likeli-
hood of the state highway depart
ment and the local community using
funds on separate projects of less
worth than one joint project Of
genuine merit.
By the first OF April the highway
program, according to Highway Di-
rector John Jaster, jr., is expected
to get under way in full swing.
Over $3,000,000 in projects were
included in the March 18th letting
Of contracts held by the highway
department, while another highway

Firemen Answer Three Alarms

The Oakland Volunteer Fire De-
partment answered three fire alarms
during the week to extinguish flames
caused by an overheated stove, de-
fective flue, and one fire of undeter-
mined origin.
The first call came Sunday morning
about 1880 o'clock to extinguish the
fiue fire in the home of Jasper Cross,
south of town. Cross was occupying
the dwelling on the Hinebaugh farm.
Little damage resulted.
Monday morning about 7:45 call
came to extinguish fire in the Mon
helm Produce Company's wareroom in
the Nally building on Second street.
By prompt action a serious fire was
averted and there was slight damage
resulting. An overheated furnace pipe
was the cause of this fire.
The third call came at o'clock on
Tuesday morning when it was dis
covered that the milk house on the
farm of John Lower, in Pleasant Val
ley, near Loeb Lynn Heights, was
on fire. By the prompt action of the
local firemen it was possible to save
the dwelling and several farm build
ings nearby. The milk house was de-
stroyed, however, entailing a loss of
about $500 in dairy equipment and
other property in the milk house.

POSSIBILITY OF A GOLF
COURSE BEING DISCUSSED
Delegation Asks Town To Con-
slider Use of Farm For Project

The possibility of having a golf
course on the water farm Of the City
Council was discussed by a delega-
ton of citizens and councilmen at the
regular monthly meeting of the Mayor
and Council on Monday evening.
The property consists of more than
fifty acres and is located adjacent to
town. Those interested say that an
ideal nine-hole course could be arrang-
ed. The property, located as it is so
close to town, would prove drawing
card for summer visitors, it was stated
by members of the delegation of cit
liens.
With the delegation was Henry Tar
ring, recently appointed WPA head in
this county who explained how it
would be possible to obtain 80 per
cent of the funds necessary to con-
struct the course, provided the town
would consent to sponsor the propo-
sition and furnish approximately two
thousand dollars.
Members of the delegation were
positive that the sum required locally
could be raised by private subscrip-
ton, so that it would cost the town
nothing.
No definite decision was reached, the
Councilmen reserving their opinion
until the matter had been taken up
with the State Health Department in
regard to the possibility Of. endanger-
ing the water supply of the town.
At Monday evenings meeting coun-
Gil voted $25 toward the expense of
decorating the streets of the town
during the holiday season. This money
will be placed in the hands of COM
mittee of the local Rotary Club which
will continue to have charge of the
erection of the lights, etc.
A complaint from a citizen that the
sewer pipe line over the Little Yough-
iogheny River was again being used
as means of crossing the stream by
little children, was received and point
ed out the possibility of another life
being lost as result of such practice.
Several years ago a lad fell from
the pipe during a period of high water
and was drowned. Council ordered that
necessary steps be taken to make it
impossible to cross the river by this
route.
Monthly bills amounting to ap-
proximately $1,000 were ordered paid.
The next regular meeting will be held
on Monday, January 4, 1887.

Speicher's Car Recovered But
Thieves Remain at Large

The automobile stolen from Foster
Speicher, Friendsville High school in
structor, last week while enroute to
Oakland, was recovered last weekend
at Roncevert, w. Va, in damaged
condition. Mr.. Speicher went to
Ronceverte on Saturday and returned
with his car.
The automobile had been wrecked
and abandoned but the damage was
not serious.
The three young men who held up
Mr.. Speicher near Sand Flat at the
point of a gun, robbed him, stole his
automobile and forced him to accom-
pany them to the top of lonely Back
bone Mountain, near Kitzmiller, have
not yet been apprehended, according
to local authorities, although West
Virginia police believe they will make
arrests in the case before long.
The three re-enacted their theft at
Ronceverte after Speicher's car had
been driven into the ditch. They
hailed passing motorist, robbed him
and took his car. They were said to
be armed with a machine gun and
pistols.
