Becker is i out his program -on the basis of i i a stretch of road each year, using tha road whatever he can spare for that purpose and he believes a i i a few years Decatur township will have a good township hard road highway system without the necessity of a bond issue. It will have the hard roads and have them paid for. NOT SPECTACULAR. Mr. Becker realizes that this is not as spectacular as the floating of a bond issue and the bui'ding of many miles at one time but he believes that this gradual building, pay-as- TOU go plan will meet i the approval of the taxpayers, The road money thus goes to i roads, all of it, not to pay interest on a bonded debt which must also be provided for by taxation once it is created.

To Be There When Bill Comes Up for Hearing. Postmaster Jake Hill Is Inclined to bellevo that the appropriation bill or $160,000 for enlarging the Deca- ur postoff'ice, will be passed at Washington. This bill providing for money for this work and also for improvement of several other Illinois offices was introduced at Washington Wednesday as announced In The Review. "I i it is tile desire of the vari- iU3 departments oiC the government to get away from th'Is rental proposition," said Postmaster Hill. 'Right liere in Decatur, quite a bit if rental money is paid each year for garage room for our trucks, sometimes for a recruiting office, ilso for the venue and income tax jffice.

The government would like to house all these things under Its own roof and save this rent. INSPECTOR HERE. "Some i ago, an inspector was here and secured information of the a i rentals paid here. He was also I of conditions in our i i and I told him a even with the additional room In ou- new basement, that tho i does not hav as much floor space per employ as is required by our own government regulations. Shortly a that and after the inspector had made his report to Washington, I was called upon to make report and sugge "Of I can't say that the bill is sure to pass and as to just what a i i would b- built to the office, I have no Idea.

They may decide to spread out over more ground or to add more floors to the present building-. I hope to set down to Washington however to look ajfter the Interests of Decatur when this bill is before the committee." Similar bills providing money for extension of the Decatur and other postoffice i i in this state have been brought up almost every year but always lost out when steps were a to reduce government expenditures. Escaping Gas Endangers Lives of Family. That even a new pavement is not i worth as much as the lives of citizens was voiced in the city council Thursday morning when William Xeathery, of the- gas a of ths Decatur Railway Llgnt appeared with a petition to cu-; into the asphalt pavement at the i section of South College and West Macon street, Gas has been coming into the house of John Pasold. located on the northwest corner of the intersection.

at such a rate that it has i the plants in the house in the last three w.eeks and all investigations made by the gas company and the city engineer lead to the conclusion that there is a broken gas main In the street and that the gas is following a water pipe or sewer pipe into the residence of Mr. Pasold. ENDANGER FAMILY. While the council members expressed very great regret that the pavement, so recently laid, should he disturbed the petition -was granted as Mayor Borchers said that the gas might actually endanger the lives of members of the Pasold family- Mr. Neathery said that he might drill a few holes from the top of the pavement, small ones, which will release the gas and put off making permanent repairs until the asphalt street work starts in the spring when the repairs could be made in such a way as to be of no damage to the new pavement.

If this plan does not work out the excavation -will be made and the main repaired. Mr. Neathery expressed the belief th.it the gas main was broken. It Is less than three feet below surface ot Uw street and the heavy paving eqnfpment had passed over It many times during the recent rebuilding of the street.

The southern climate and work seem to have agreefl with him and he says that the New Orleans plant will soon be as large as ifte plant at Decatur as it is growing steadily. IRELAND WOULD COLLECT OLD TAXES Dublin--The Irish income tax is raising several interesting problems, During the fight with the English, the order went forth that no Irishman should pay income tax to the British. It was difficult to collect it therefore, and large arrears remainec outstanding. When the Treaty was made, the British assigned to the Irish government all the Irish arrears of income tax as an.asset. Unless these arrears are paid the deficit of the Irish government will be considerably increased.

They had all been at most of the ports on the gulf and the Atlantic seaboard at -one time or another, but had never been inland before.

'We've been all over the country on this trip," said the ship's beadle. "We've seen everything and have had a merry time of It."

"Nay, beadle is Ills office and 0 ha is," sternly ordered Hughie, and that was that. The party Thursday shortly afternoon for New Orleans, agreed that America was not such a bad country and that Decatur, St.

Torrence will divide the pavilion in the center north and south, so that two groups can be ing the pavilion at the same time. A great need is felt fftr a pavilion in Nelson park such as In Fairview.
