ROADS PAVED
1877 Miles Black-topped;
All For Time BEING

Another 1877 miles of black tor
roads were added to the county
highway system during 1916, ac-
cording to County Engineer
Claude Skidmore, with practically
every part of the county benefit.
ted by better highways.
But Mr.. Skidmore, who has
resigned his position, effective
Feb. %, to accept private employ
ment, declares the county has just
about reached the limit of its
black-top construction until the
bases are built up on the remain
ing roads.
'In fact" Mr.. Skidmore declar-
ed, several miles of roads which
have already been black-topped
were paved without adequate
bases first being built. Public
pressure, and the very under
standable desire of farmers off the
main routes to have better roads
has been largely responsible for
this"
Heavier bases are built, Mr..
Skidmore explained, by applying
four to six inches of stone, at a
cost of about $4,000 per mile. But
the most difficult obstacle is the
lack of stone at the present time.
Roads which were ack-topped
in the past year were:
Wasserbeck rd., 2.82 miles in
Jackson township; Graham g.
Jones rd., 2.70 miles in Claibourne
township; Reed rd, 1.60 miles in
Taylor township; Cotton Slash rd.,
I'll miles, Taylor township; Dar-
by & North rd., 2 miles in Allen
township; Waldo rd., 2.64 miles
Paris township; Scheiderer rd., 81
miles in Darby township; Blaney

gymnasium, Friday night in a
well-played ball game. The local
reserves, however, met with de-
feat, again, Mt. Gilead turning

der control at the other end of
the floor, when the Monarchs were
on the offense. Scheiderer stood
on his favorite Spot" most of the
evening and pumped in eight long
shots over Mt. Gilead's zone de-
Tense. To these he added three
free throws for the evenings high
individual score of 19 points.
+ The Monarchs also displayed
plenty of team work, with some
excellent passing and ball handl-
ing. Coach Warren Widner ex-
pressed himself as well pleased
with the play.
Marysville lost little time in
getting started, and by the end
Of. the first quarter, enjoyed a
lead, of IL to S. BY the time the
first half was over, the margin
was % to Is, while the count at
the end of the third quarter was

the count knotted at 30-all. In the
final period, Marysville got 20
points to only seven for the Plain
Citians.
For MarySville, it was Nicol
who led the scoring with l6 points
while John Steele netted II; Jack
Steele, IL; Had Simpson, 6; Bob
Finch, 5; and Liggett, Spain and
Scheiderer failed to score. Bob
Fee got IL points to lead for Plain
City.
In the intramural preliminary
game, the juniors led all the way,
10 to at the end of the first
quarter, Is to at half time, and
25 tol4 at the end of the third per-
iod. Scoring for the Juniors was
