COUNTIES RUSH TO HELP STATE Delegations Offer to Match State Dollar For Dollar on Roads The manner in which counties throughout the state are offering to go "fifty fifty" with the state in the construction of highways is one of the impressive things about the Capitol. The numerous delegations which have been coming here, ac companied by legislators and county officials, have been informed of'the primary road idea and they have promptly agreed when they found that the state could not do all they asked to join in the expenses. Commissioners W. H. Jack and Charles Truby of Armstrong county told Commissioner Sadler that their county must have more improved road; and they said that in addition to the "primary road" construction planned by the state they propose to float a bond issue for as large a sum as possible and build roads themselves. The highway commis sioner promised co-operation on a 50- 50 basis insofar as possible under the state aid plan.. Senator Herron of Washington county anrl the three assemblymen from that county discussed the Burgettstown-Hickory road, declar ing that it will open the northwest section of Washington county. The proposed construction would connect two already built sections and ren der unnecessary a 43 mile rail Journey from Burgettstown to Wash ington. In the neighborhood of 31 miles of road are being built by townships in that section. W. M. Parker, of Oil City, headed a X enango county delegation which got assurances from the highway com missioners that bids will he asked for at once on the construction of a sec tion of the highway connecting Oil City and Franklin. The state also agreed to proceed at an earlv date with work on the Franklin-Harris ville road and the road from Salina to Slilppenville. Construction on the Cranberry-Franklin section, it was amicably decided, will be delayed for some time. AUTOMOBILE STOLEN A small roadster owned by Thomas J.
