RECOGNIZE NEED TO REBUILD HIGHWAY [Continued front First Page.] sloner O'Neil Is strongly In favor of doing everything that is possible from the standpoint of the state and in addition the federal government will contribute largely to the cost. Dauphin county's proportion of the route is about five miles, which would mean a total approximate cost of $150,000. This county has already contributed $4,4 90 In the purchase of the turnpike which amount will be credited on its share of the cost. The federal government will bear about $40,000 of the county's share and the state would divide tho remainder making the net obligation of the county for this important improve ment not more than $48,000. The Board of Commissioners of Dauphin county have already been •interviewed regarding the subject and it is hoped some definite plans will be reached so that this vital con necting link between Harrisburg and the east may be put in first class con dition. share owing to the fact that about twenty miles of the road are within the limits of that county will approximate $190,000. Lebanon will be entitled to a credit of $19,790 paid on account of the purchase of the turnpike, the federal government will contribute $200,000 of the amount and the state the same as the county, $190,000, leaving the net cost to the county for the twenty miles not more than $190,000. During tho conference Commis sioner O'Neil stated that thirty-two of the counties of Pennsylvania have already joined with the state on the fifty-fifty basis for the improvement of highways and In some counties the disposition Is to go even beyond %\'hat is possible for the state to do on that basis. In the original pur chase of the Berks and Dauphin turnpike the cost was divided as follows: Stato, $35,500; Dauphin, $4,- 990; Berks, $9,720; Lebanon. $19,- 790. Canadians to Give Bryan Another Chance Toronto, Ont., Feb. 28.—Newspaper criticism of the propriety of Inviting William Jennings Bryan to deliver an address here to-night at the pro vincial prohibition convention was i answered yesterday by the publica tion of advertisements by the Do- ' FEBRUARY 28, 1918. minion Alliance, an organization | similar tc/the Anti-Saloon league In ] the United States, describing; Mr. Bryan as a "life-long prohibition cajnpaigner" and asking that he be heard in the spirit of Canadian fair p'ay. Opposition to Mr. Bryan grew out of his alleged pacifist leaning and utterances. One of his newspaper critics advised the public to stay away from the meeting; another fa vored giving him a chance to "ex press himself whole-heartedly re garding Germany and Its deviltries," and judging him by "a new confes sion of faith." Previously, one paper had protest ed against extending the invitation to the Nebraskan and asked for its cancellation. In reply to which the Dominion Alliance said that Mr. Bry an had not been invited, but had been assigned to the meeting as the re sult of a reciprocal arrangement for speakers between the Alliance and the Anti-Saloon League. .
