source from which they arise.
We all know how tile* gather around
cows and stables. Just take a walk
around I .ent* and note the pet cows
staked out on some of our beautiful
vacant lota. There are some vacant lots
next to us. Often you will are two cows
staked “tliereon”. One day when “I

poked her nose over the fence and chew

Another time she manag»*d to get one

__________________
Surprise Luncheon
WAS ROAD MEET
ING A RALLY?
Holman was called to the floor.
Mr. Holman began with his induction
into office and told al! about hie ex
periences in reforming the work of the
court.
In fact it wa* soon clear that
Mr. Holman had done about everything
that had been done since he had become
a member of the court urles* it was
some
of the doubtful things and in
those instances the other members of
the court were mentioned. He denied
that the county commissioners have
any favorites to play,
that they have
made any agreements with the Warren
ite 90mpany, or that be or Mr. Yeon
had any interest* whatever in the said
incorporation. But Mr. Holman is
strongly in favor of Warren’ite because
it is patented. He says all good things
are patented. But he did not say that
a good many bad things are likewise
patented and so several persons present
proceeded to punch holes in t».e pro-
proposed road plans.
In the first place people out this way
will not favor a road improvement, no
matter what it cost that only provides
for a 16 foot road bed. Foster road is
too important to have less than 24 feet
at any point, and it is doubtful if that
would be favored at many points from
Annabel to Firland, and through Lents.
It ought to reach from curb to curb at
these places. If a sixteen foot road
way costs $12,000 it can be easily esti
mated what a desirable width would
cost. There was strong opposition to
any plan that would increase the bur
dens of the people of the district at
this time.
Warrenite, bithulitic, and asphalt all
were severely criticised for being
slippery in wet weather, or even when
dry, and for getting soft when hot.
The Hassan pavement was favored by
those who do most teaming, and con
crete was regarded as being the cheap
est and most satisfactory. A repre
sentative of the Warrenite company
made a statement of his Knowledge of
the company's relation* with the
county officials, Mr. Yeon. and other*
interested in the ro id work and denied
that his company e*’er took atlvantage
of anyone to secure a contract. In the
discussion it was made clear that the
Warrenite company
produce
the
material for road building and deliver
it at their bunkers or 88cts. per square
yard of spreading surface. The county
will have to prepare the roadbed, base,
etc., in addition. Thus the road would
cost around $1.20 per yard.
Considerable criticism has been de
veloped on account of Mr. Yeon’s
having employed so many expensive
road men. It appears that Supervisor
Lancaster is getting $450 per month,
McMullen $150, Small $150, and two
draughtsmen are employed in addition,
and there ar»* several bosses at work on
the road along the Columbia at sub
stantial incomes.
Entertainment
On Friday evening April IOth, the
Primary Dept, of the Arleta Baptist
Church is to give a very interesting pro
gram.
The department is very much in need
of a piano and they are taking this
method of raising the money. Come and
help the children and enjoy a pleasant
evening.
