CO. COMMISSIONERS AUTHOR-
IZE PAYMENT OF SHARE
IN IMPROVEMENT WORK
The Board, of t
missioners today authorized the
payment of $5,715.97 to Mt. Joy
township, as the county’s share in

ject in Mt. Joy township.
The project includes the im-
provement of three roads, for a
total of approximately seven miles
and the construction of two con-
crete bridges.
The work is being fostered by
the supervisors of Mt. Joy town-
ship, on the state reward plan, in
which the state pays 50 per cent,
the county 25 per cent and the
township 25 per cent of the cost.
The county’s percentage of the
County Com-
total costs amount to the figures
mentioned above.
The roads on which improve-
ments are being made are:
The Hummelstown road leading
off the state road north of Eliza-
4nd running to the Dau-
phin county line one and one third
miles,
The road running from Eliza-
bethtow.. toward Risser’s church to
Mapheim, four and one half miles.
The road leading off the Harris-
burg state highway to Grand View
school house, . which road continues
on to Milton Grove, one mile,
The two bridges to be built are:
Lake bridge, east of Elizabethtown
near the Elizabethtown College;
and a bridge en the road from
Risser’s church to Lawn.
Mt. Joy township is steadily put-
ting its roads in good shape. In
addition to the above projects the
supervisors are planning more
state reward projects for this year,
and will take up the work as soon
as the State Highway Department
is ready to do its part.

VIDES COUNTY INTO DIS-

CHARGE
Automobile Club
has divided the county into dist-
ricts, with a man at the head of
each, to help municipal and state
police in finding stolen automobiles.
Each district man will have nine
others whom he will notify, and
who will be on the lookout for the
machine. In this way the club
officials believe they can cover the
entire county within a - short time
after a machine disappears.

meeting in New Holland, named
the following district men: Levi
F. McAllister, Quarryville. H. N.
Homsher, Bartville; J. Wade Gay-

TION WILL BEGIN THIS
WEEK
E. K. Hibshman, of Ephrata, as-
sistant to the president of tate
College, was elected president of
the Pennsylvania Tobacco Growers’
Co-operative Association at a meet-
ing Friday evening. Other officers
were elected, a board of 15 direc-
tors was named, and everything set
for the canvass of growe
This will begin, this week, in
Rapho, Mount Joy, East Donegal
and Conoy townships. Everything
is in readiness, there is one com-
mitteeman to every 10 growers,
and the men are enthusiastic.
The other officers are: B. Frank
Snavely, West Lampeter, first vice-
president; Harvey E. Heller, East
Lampeter, second vice-president; J.
C. Brubaker, Lititz, third vice-
president; W. J. Neuhauser, treas-
urer and T. W. Kemp, secretary.
Directors are Namazd
The directors are: E. K. Hisbsh-
man, Ephrata; B. Frank Snavely,
West Lampeter; Charles A. Greider
Rapho; Elmer W. Strickler, Mt.
Joy township; Harry M. Lichty,
Manor; H. E. Moore, Manheim;

wick; Monroe Metzler, Rapho; A.
L. Lefever, Manheim, and J. Clar-
ence Reist, Rapho.
Every officer and director pre-
pared his resignation, to be used
when sufficient growers have signed
the contracts to make possible a
representative election. The men
that night felt that the growers at
large should have an opportunity
to vote on their officers, and they
will be given a chance to do so
after the canvass gets well under
way.
Because only members of the as-
sociation are eligible to vote, the
present officers and board were
elected by a small minority, though
35 growers signed contracts at
the meeting to have the opportun-
ity to vote.
It is planned to have the necess-
ary 75 per cent of growers signed
up by October, otherwise the con-
tract becomes invalid, if the signer
so desires.
The organization committee will
continue in existence, but only in
an advisory capacity. By-laws
were adopted that evening, and
plans were discussed for the ecan-
vass of growers.

estimated at from $2,500 to $3,-
000.
The flames, which broke about
7:20 o'clock, were discovered sev-
eral minutes later. Fanned by a
strong northwest wind they made
rapid headway and the entire struc-
ture was ablaze by the time the
village fire company reached the
scene. When it was seen that the
warehouse, containing about 300
cases of tobacco, and a barn near-
by were in danger of catching fire,
a summons was sent to Elizabeth-
town and another to Mount Joy
for aid. Companies from each of
these towns responded.
With difficulty the firemen kept
the flames from spreading to the
adjoining structures. This they did
however, and neither was damaged.
The Sipling barn was a total loss.
Mr. Sipling says that he can as-
scribe no cause for the blaze.
It was thru the heoric
of the Rheems fire company, as-
sisted by the companies from here
and Elizabethtown, that the ad-
joining buildings were saved.

Rushed to the Lancaster General

severe bruises.
According to witnesses of the
accident, the boy was pedalling in
front of the approaching machine.
He slowed up suddenly and was
struck before the driver of the
