Road Supervisors' Convention.
Tbe Township Supervisors' Association
of Forest County was organized at a well
attended meeting at tbe Court House lu
Tionesta, Thursday, April ltith. Capt. J.
J. Haigbt of Howe township, was elected
president of the association, and presided
at the meeting. N. P. Wheeler, Jr., of
Hickory twp., and F. F.Spencer of Howe
twp., were elected vice president; Geo. L.
King of Harmony twp. waa elected sec
retary, and Wm. Korbof Tionesta twp,,
treasurer.
Among the state oftloiala present were
E. A. Jones of the State Highway depart
ment, Harrisburg, Pa.; T. C. Frame, or
Warren, assistant engineer in charge or
tbi district, and Paul Brubaker, super
intendent of highways, ol Harrisburg.
Mr. Jones gave some very lucid talks on
road matters, saying that tbe object of
township organizations such as this one
was to bring abr.it harmonious action
throughout the state, and that through
the efforts of these associations better and
more effective legislation on tbe question
of good roads might be brought about.
He also explained, in answer to questions
on tbe subject, why It was that the slate
highway department was powerless to go
on witb tbe work of maintaining and im
proving tbe main highways that bad been
taken over. There was sufficient money
in tbe treasury to carry on tbe work, col
lected from automobile licenses, consider
ably over a million dollars iu fact, but
tbe auditor general would not approve
the warrants because these funds bad not
beeu specifically appropriated. Man
damus proceedings had been Instituted to
compel payments, a decision upon which
by tbe Dauphin county court, would be
forthcoming in a short time no doubt, but
tbat the auditor general oould take an ap
peal from tbia decision to the Supreme
court, which, should he do so, would de
lay payments for several mouth'. Thus
tbe question of whether any work would
be done on these main highways during
tbe coming season was very uncertain.
Hon, C, a, Randall gave a short ad
dress which was well received, as did a
number of others, showing tbe great In
terest manifested In good roads In this
oounty.
Of the twenty-four supervisors or the
