MAY TAKE OVER
TWO HORE PIKES
STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION-
ER BLACK ENCOURAGES
MOVEMENT TO BUY
{WO TOLL ROADS
IN THIS COUNTY
Impetus was given Saturday to
the movement to free Lancaster
county of several toll roads within
the near future if satisfactory terms
can be reached with )
the turnpikes. This action was taken
at a private conference between
State Highway Commissioner Black
and the county commissioners,
Samuel W. Diller, J. R. Shirk and D.
F. Magee, which was held in the
county commissioner’s office in the
court house shortly after 11 o’clock.
“If the price is satisfactory to the
county and the Highway Depart-
ment.” Mr. Black said, “the Lan-
caster and Williamstown, Lancaster
and Susquehanna and Lancaster and
Middletown turnpikes will all be
taken over.”
Department to Examine Roads
Within a short time the State
Highway Department will send its
own engineers over these turnpikes
to examine the physical value of
them. The commissioner stated that
the prices of the turnpikes were not
discussed as yet, as that matter
would first be handled by the State
Highway Commissioner, who would
ascertain the exact value. The com-
missioner, however, stated that the
State and county would buy the
turnpikes on a fifty-fifty proposition.
Another conference will be held
between the county commissioners
and Commissioner Black after cer-
tain information has been ascer-
tained. No date has been set for this
meeting.
To Examine Traction End
The State highway commissioner
was asked if the rental paid by the
Traction Company to the Lancaster
and Susquehanna Turnpike Com-
pany if the State and county should
take it over. He thought that the
State could not enter into such an
agreement, but stated that he would
like to look up the legal phase of the
matter before discussing it. It is the
opinion of some people that if the
State should take over the turnpikes
these contracts would fall.
The State highway commissioner
came to Lancaster in his own car,
having been accompanied by his pri-
vate secretary, Howard Fry, a Lan-
castrian. He arrived here about an
hour

Stacks of Hay Burmed.
Several stacks of hay in a field on
the farm tenanted by Frank Watson
at Donegal Springs, were destroyed
by fire. How the ignition took place
cannot be learned, but the stacks
were so far apart that the fire could
not have communicated from one to

A BIG BARN
DESTROYED BY FIRE
STRUCTURE OF SAMUEL SHENK
AT NEWTOWN, A TOTAL
LOSS—ALL ADJOINING
BUILDINGS ALSO
DESTROYED
The village of Newtown was given
another bad scare at 6:15 this morn-
ing when the large barn of Samuel
Shenk was struck by lightning and
completely destroyed .
The fire was immediately discov-
ered by the family and although the
entire village quickly responded,
only the live stock was saved. The
barn, a large frame structure 60
feet in length, together with the to-
bacco shed, corn barn and wagon
shed and all the contents, were total-
ly destroyed. A large hog pen and
chicken house nearby, were set
ablaze by sparks from the barn and
also completely destroyed and it was
with great difficulty that the house
and other nearby buildings were
saved as the burned structure is
right in the village.
All this year’s crops including hay,
wheat, ete. and all the implements
were destroyed. The loss is partly
covered by insurance.
More Hail Fell
Around Newtown some hail fell
but not enough to damage tobacco.
Mr. Albert Greenawalt, who lives
near the covered bridge, near New-
town, had his tobacco crop badly
cut by hail for the second time this
season. Over around Kinderhook,
quite a lot of hail fell.

Another House Struck
The summer house at the resi-
| dence of Chas. A. Greider, near New-
| town, was struck but the removal of
some plastering was the extent of
the damage. A large locust tree near
the house was badly shattered by a
bolt and a heavy stick of wood sev-
eral feet long was hurled about 100
feet and lodged on the barn roof.
Corn Barn Struck
Lightning struck the corn barn on
the H. C. Schock farm tenanted by
Samuel G. Myers. The slate roof
was damaged. A large hole was also
knocked into the slate roof on the
hay shed adjoining the barn.
A bolt of lightning struck the
garage of T. J. Brown but the re-
moval of a few shingles was the ex-
tent of the damage.

The large barn on the farm of

destroyed by fire early this morning.

the wrecked cars were not quite

burst it was removed. It registered

Co. Districts May Get Credit
Inasmuch as each guard unit was
ordered to file roll giving name, ad-

get credit for men already enlisted,
which would take less conscript men
as soon as the exams begin.
