24 DAUPHIN SHARE OF ROAD MONEY pig Improvement Would Be Possible Under a "Fifty- Fifty" Proposition If the State Highway Department Vas to be given an appropriation of 510,000,000 for State highways for the next two years it would mean that it would be possible for Dau phin county. If it co-operated with the Highway Department, to con struct ten or twelve miles ns nearly permanent road as it is possible to construct. Dauphin county will receive sll,- 756.1,"> from every million dollars the Highway Department receives for State highway construction. This sum is independent of the fund for ! State-aid construction. and also | from the fund received for automo- j bile licenses, which Is used for main tenance and repair. If the Highway Department is | given $10,000,000 for the next two years Dauphin county's share will i he $117,861.50. This sum Is suffici ent to build about six miles of road at $20,000 a mil© on an average for concrete or brick. In the event that the commis sioners of Dauphin county go "50- 60" with the State, as they may do | tinder the terms of a bill signed by | the Governor March 22 last, the total sum available for this county for work on State highways will be , 5235.723 —or approximately twelve: miles of permanent highway. This county's share of the State- i aid fund will be $11.55(i.70 per mil- ! lion of the appropriation: and to ( avail Itself of this fund the county | and the townships In which the ' money is used must equal what the i State spends. Dauphin county commissioners un der the law may borrow without any formality one-tenth of one per cent of the county's total valuation, which aneans that it can borrow $75,000 a year until a total of two per cent. J the valuation is reached. Or if the j board secures the approval of one I grand jury a year it can borrow j $350,000 a year—half of one per cent the valuation, until a total i ot" two per cent the total valuation j is reached. The Highway Department will spend Dauphin's share of the State I highway fund In the construction j of permanent main roads in this j countv, but the total mileage can be i doubled if the co-operation of the j county commissioners is secured." In < the borrowing of one-tenth of one j per cent the valuation the commls- j sioners can give notes, to be cared ] for in the 191$ budget. British and Russian Armies Push on in Mesopotamia With the British Army in Mesopo- j tamia, May 11. —The war In Mesopo- I tumia and along the Persian border has carried the British and Russian armies into the country of the Xes- i torians, or East Syrians, who claim j that the tirst tidings of Christianity were brought to them by the three; wise men of the East, writes the j British ottlcial eye witness with this! army. Two of the wise men who sought the birthplace of Christ, are 1 reported to have been natives of; Urmia, in Northern Persia, and their | tombs are pointed out in the Church j of Mart Mariam in that town. The Nestorians are now but a rem- I riant of a once powerful community ! smd are ruled by the Turks. They l dwell mostly between Mosul, Lake 1 Van, and Lake Urmia, near the Tur-| co-Persian border. They are divided j into two sections, the AShiret, or free j tribesmen, and the Ityat, or subject i people. Included in the Ryats are the Chaldeans, who dwell in the vil- i lages of the Mosul plain and in the ; chief towns on the Tigris river from Diarbekr to Basra. The Chaldeans j are under the intluence of the Church i of Rome, while the others retain their ancient faiths. Some of the Xes- i torians are very warlike. Of those j who dwell along the upper Tiari river 1 every man possesses a rifle or gun • and carries a "hanjar," or dagger.! The Nestorian is very religious. On | Sundays he will not defile his mouth by uttering a word rff the#Kurdish language, which he regards as vile, j Mexican Army Suffers Not From a Lack of Generals Mexico City, May 11.—The Mexi- ; can army suffers from no shortage of | generals.
