So (ar thia week I only found one fly but be was ‘‘swatted’’ im mediately. Next to “fly swatting” eomea the question how to stop the 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 wasn't looking,” one ot those cow* just poked her nose over the fence and chew ed off a choice rose hush, and ate the top off from a ftawford peach tree.

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.
