No more petitions to open ballot

With .Tildges Audenried and For

ing the count of ballots from the
Forty-sixth ward, nnd only two more

the long task of checking up the pri
mary rote will be completed tomorrow
The Forty-sixth ward, with its fifty
eight divisions, Is the largest in the
city, and, from the independents' point i
of view, the most important. It takes
in the big residential district of south I
west Philadelphia, which nlvvnvs has
been considered an Independent strong I
hold.
Judge Audenried sent out five bnl-lot-boxes
from the Thirty-second ward
this morning to be opened. The ie
count was ordered on petitions offered
bv the Vnres. The divisions were the
sixteenth. twentieth

Thirty-second ward. All nre in the
Seventh Senatorial district, nnd nre
concerned in the councllmnnic fight be

nnd the boxes were left over from jes

Lieutenant Governor Beldlemnn, nd

The problem of roads is becoming
more nnd more serious, Mr. Beldlcmnu
asserted, in view of the inpldly grow
ing number of motor vehicles In this
tnte. Ho snid there Is one automobile
for every eighteen peivons In Pcnnsjl

the' populated communities, the lieu
tennnt governor deseribed the three
Kinds of roads icienlng nttentiou.
"The first is the primary type," he
said, "crossing the (ntiie state find
which are to be paid for entirely from
state funds.
The licet tvpc is the seeondnrv, whiih

for by the state nnd the counties.
"The territory is the remaining type.

Mr. Beldlemnn snid tin1 plans call for
1000 miles of Improved highwavs. Of
that mad mileage, 1100 miles nlieadv
have liieu constituted and 750 miles
have been contracted for this vein.
The high cost of living is hitting innd

explained. Ho ids thnt under ordinary
conditions would cost S 10,000 to build,
now would cost S105 000 But the lat
ter figuic, ic contiiuKil, was an extreme
