UHANGES IN ROAD LAW, Township Supervisors May Have Lost Bight of Provisloos, Oae fact generally lost sight of by township supervisors ia that the act approved May 18, 1009, amending the act of April 12, 1905, lutroduced many and radical changes in the conduct of 1 urs relating to township roads and alsothatonly a narrow margin of time remsins in which to carry out an im- po‘tant provision, if the respective towiships are to share in the benetits cf the act in question, Prior tothe act of May 13, 1909, the legislature never disturbed the work tex and it could be changed to cash tux. The act of 1900 makes all road tax a cash tax, afer 1910, and a work {ax can not be restored unless changed by vote, Unde: the fornier law the tax was paid to the township treasurer, who was required to give individual notices to every taxable and the penalty was a'tached November 1. Under the rew law the tax is paid to the town- ship collector. Notice isgiven by ad- vertisement and the penalty attaches O stober 1, Uader the former act all taxables were assessed one dollar regardless of valaation. The new act abolishes the Jer capita tax of one dollar. The act of April 12, 1805, did not per- mit supervisors to work on the roads for a compensation, work being dele- gated to the ** road masters” Under the act of May 13, 1909, it is optional with the supervisors whether they ap- point * road masters '’ or not.

Expense of maliotensnce ie practically nothing, and therefore the use of cement on the farm means economy to the farmer. Cement is replacing lumber at a cost within the reach of every farmer. In using cement and concrete sheap- ness has been a strong point in its favor. Cheapness of construction is a point which everyone who bullde must consider, and in the use of con- crete ms against lumber the former, because of its lasting qualities, is In- } variably the cheaper. In many uses on the farm lumber is short lived, where concrete will endure for years. Like wine, it becomes belter with age, and the very dampness which destroys lumber, increases the dar. ability of cement by making it harder snd harder, until it can only be de. stroyed by the use of high explosive.

D. Brisbin & Company for $7000. The farm is well located and contains nine ty-eight acres and one hundred and fifiy-eight perches, with six per cent, allowance for roads. Twenty-five acras are covered with timber, and it fs this portion of the farm that es- pecially interested the firm that made the purchase. Brisbin & Company now have a saw mill located on an ad Joining tract and will be able to cut this timber without removing the mill \ Another advantage the purchasers have is that they own a tract of fifty sores, that years ago belonged to this farm, adjoining it. By uniting the two tracts, they will have & good sized farm and the whole will be more valuable in the market, The farm was first advertised for snle subject tos lease, full possession ‘ to be given after its expiration, or April 1st, 1911, but these conditions were not enforced on the day of sale, The bidding was spirited. There were a number of willing buyers until tie figure reached over $6000, but after that the bids were placed by Perry W.
