SUNDAY MOftNING, JUNE '28 102; TflTI1.! limps lUIML IUU l.i.L.a.U Marion County Court Will Continue" Five-Year Pro . w gram for 32 Highways . SYSTEM IS SUCCESSFUL1 Work ot Tamt feIVe Tears Pleases; Some Paring PianaedT, but Majority of Work WIU be Macadam "' - Thirty-two" ptoblic hignyaysjwltli an aggregate of 108 miles we're selected Monday by the "Marlon county court in response to a re quest from the state higrhway com mission, bringing the total of Im proved county roads .to 258 miles at the end of a fire-year period. The old system of 34 roada amounted to'JL6 jnailes, Jthe program being completed lastfalL The new roads were selected from "all parts ot tbe county, the court endeavoring to connectwItb main roads In, ad Joining counties wherever possible and Vi connect sections of the county that were not directly ieryeoV by tVeflrst system. Some of the proposed work In the toext five years will be paved, but a majority will be well drained, 1 graded and macad amized. Roads selected as market roads by the. 1919 bond issue hare been included J in ' Ine system in order that the work of the system may be completed and-the finish ed parts properly, maintained., ' " An inspection of the connty map shows that the net work -of rbai serving communities and districts of the county to have been im partially selected, with the plan for the entire system kept in mind. " Members of the county court have given jmn'ch' thought and spent considerable time examining the county td determine the best course to, follow. Many ' delega tions have been heard and, many petitions received. The court takes the viewv that at this time it Is -not advisable to select too many roads In order that, all could be improved f within a reasonable length of time. ... .. . . 4 .The roads selected are tentative, and; will be referred to the. statt highway commission-for final ap proval. The commission will maki investigations before recommend ing that any work " be started Prior to actual construction or Im provement of the , new market roads, complete data on 'grades', alignment, round curve and widths, -will becetapned- - " With the completion of the pres ent five-year 'program,' the county court expects to have the best mar ket road system on the coast. ;,Te same economies will be followed in the future as have been, ob served in the past, and! the stan dard of highway construction will be maintained. The, results, ob tained In the preceeding five years hare been highly praised,' both for the type of work and for the gen eral low expense. The county pur chased and operated Its' own rock crushers and paving plants to great j advantage. The cost of these has more than been saved, and. the equipment is available for the , second portion of the pro gram.1 ' In many districts strong peti tions: were presented and Targe delegations appeared. 'Almost all the roads so requested have been selected, - and while the court would bave liked to approve all of the roads asked, a too-long pro gram would have proven Unsatis factory." 'In only a few cases was it found necessary, to 'decide con tests -rising when .several roads were asked in one locality. Additional new rbads to be "des ignated as market - roads are as follows: v -x , Jrffenon and Marlon road. Salem aid Bti road -via JFairfleld. From Highway at Brooka to Labia-.

These goats are -thgoras, the elite of the specie, and their hair is. used' in making the mohair plush used to upholster Oldsmoblle sedans, and in fact, practically all ef the bet ter class .crosed cars. I For years . the '. cutivatlon of Angora goats' was limited to Asia Minor where strict laws prevented their exportation. It is less than 30 years - ago t that they were brought to this country,, and to day there are thousands-of herds grazing in north and south west ern states. . j j is i The chief f differences between Angora goat I hair or mohair and sheep wool is that the latter has a kinky appearance a hid Jts outer surface is covered with barbs and natural oil, whereas mohair Js -usually wavy but. not kjnky .and Us outer surface is smooth, glossy "and" dry. lt ajso has a. channel through the center which carries t:t r ts -,j Yb'ii can purchase any pf his week and if at. th end of not maae a wise cmuee-yuu can xiiaiij5c yuur- a. face alue bri khy "other used or new car "of sanie 'or" - . . . . . .
