Commence Cleanup of
Roadside Signs, Debris.

Maintenance crews of the State High
way department have taken the field
this week in all l6 maintenance dis
tricts to eradicate from the roadsides
advertising signs and billboards erected
on highway right-of-way
And while they are at it, they have
been instructed to carry their spring
housekeeping campaign little fur
ther and clear roadsides of bottles
cans, and all other debris, carelessly
discarded by passing motorists.
Removal Of such objects, thoughtless-
ly tossed out on the roadsides, costs
the department several thousands of
dollars every year but, n addition to
being unsightly, they are the cause of
costly breakage and delay to depart
mental equipment, especially sickle
bars of moving machines.
Owners or roadside signs and bill
boards were publicly requested some
time ago to remove by May these en-
croachments from the right of way,
where they constitute illegal and sight
obstructing menaces to safety. Those
which have not been removed by their
owners will now be removed by high
way crews.

From Issue of May Ia, 1915.

The $4,000 damage suit, brought in
district court by Swallow & Hopkins
against the Iroquis Mining company
Of Chicago, for alleged violation of
contract is on before Judge Dancer.
The firm charges that the mining
company cancelled a 100000 ton con-
tract for ores from the Hilmar mine
after $4,000 tons had been delivered.
In reply TO this charge the mining COM
pany states that the contract carried
a clause to the effect that in the case
OF any two successive cargoeS failed to
reach a certain grade the contract
would be declared void. The complain
ants state that they lost $4,000 through
the cancellation Of the contract in 1913
and that soon after the contract was
cancelled the ore market went to pieces
leaving them with several thousand
tons Of ore on hand which could not
be sold at the prices agreed upon in the
contract.
