FARMERS LAND DAMAGES ON NEW ROUTE Delegation is Told County: Has no Money for That Purpose. A delegation of farmers residing on the route of a proposed new highway between Snydertown and Paxinos visited the county commissioners in a body at the court house this morning to ascertain whether the county will pay land damages as a result of the proposed relocation of the new road at several places. The commissioners advised that because of lack of finances at present and with $150,000 in temporary loans to be repaid out of impending tax receipts, the county cannot under any circumstances pay extensive land damages. The state is prepared to proceed with the building of the new high way once threatened damage claims are adjusted.

It is believed the farmers will decide to grant necessary land for the new road, thus saving the county considerable cost in the way of land damages. The commissioners contend the farmers abutting the proposed route will be benefitted to greater extent than any lands taken may cause damage to their fields. 2 SHAMOKIN MEN SENTENCED TO JAIL William Rhoades and Arthur Gaug-han Draw Ten Days Apiece.
