time of sale considered,
Today's conference between the
board of control and highway com-
mission followed a statement by Gov-
,' rnor Olcott and State Treasurer Hoff
last Monday to the effect that no
further Issues of Bean'Barrett bonds
would be approved until the bond
market had recovered from its pres
ent demoralised condition, the high
est bid for a $ 1,000,006 Issue or high
. way bonds a few weeks ago having
been only 91.53.
"The Issue of these bonds Is ab
solutely Imperative," declared 8. Ben
woo, chuirman of the state highway
commission this morning. "These con
' tracts were let a year ago at time
when the law made it nuindatory -upon
the state board of control to sell
Bean-Barrett bonds upo nthe de
mand of the jhlghway - commission.
Since that time the state legislature
lias made the sale of these bonds dis
cretionary with the board of control.

. abrupt and most embarrassing end."
The state highway commission was
not Inclined to let many new road
contracts this year, Benson explained,
but would be content with completing
contracts let last year. The foresight
of the commission In pushing con
tracts a year ugo, Benson clulmed,
' bad saved to the state between a m II -flun
and $1,250,000 because of the
Increase In prices of materials and
wages since the contracts were let.

lovernor Olcott expressed It, "before

Housing Situation
Acute In Islands
Manila, P. I. May 5. Neither the
United States nor Europe has a mono
poly of the housing problem for it Is
acute here as well. So serious has the
dispute between landlords and tenants
become In the Philippines that the
governor-general, Franols Burton Har
rison, has called the attention of the
legislature to the need of enacting law
to protect the poorer people from ex
cessive charges for rent. Mr. Harrison
in a message to the legislature recom
mended legislation giving the Judges
of the lower courts the right to say
how. much rent shall be puld In cases
where tenants make complaints. The
governor asserted that "acrimonlus
disputes are now In progress between
landlords and tenants In many vicini
ties of the Philippines. '
One method proposed in the legisla
ture to solve the housing problem In
the city of Manila Is to appropriate
$300,000 for the ercctlon of four Inrge
apartment houses each to contuin 250
rooms. Eighty per cent of the rents
from these buildings would be deposit
ed with the government and used as it
accumulates for the construction of ad
dttlonal buildings.

British soldiers were buried have Just

make them very chary of meddling
with the dead in the future.
A trap was set for them. A grave

much more deadlier in the shape of
guncotton and other explosives.
Six Mashuds started to open the
supposed givve. Five of them were

Prices Of Fruits
And Vegetables To
Drop Here Soon
A decrease In the price of fruits and
vegetables Is In sight according to lo
cal wholesale dealers. They are now
enabled to obtain the articles in car
load lots, and as soon as they begin
arriving the retail prices will lower.
Strike of railroad employes is given as
the reason for the exorbitant cost of
fruits and vegetables until now, as the
dealers were able only to receive very
meagre and uncertuln shipments of
the goods.
