Jiaylor has jut made tip' purchase of the lot owned by T. H. Pollock hi Elm .-treet" a id will stiortly commence the erection of a neat colonial bungalow on the site he has secured. The new bungalow will have live rooms ami a bath on the ground floor and on the second floor two good sized rooms will be made. A feature of the house that will ap peal to the householder will be the porch, which will extend across the north end of the huiiding and which will be ten feet deep and make one of the neatest appearing houses in the city, and.it is located in easy ten minutes' walk of I he business center of the city. The bungalow-, when erected by Mr. Uay lor, will be placed on the market for rental as soon as completed, and it will make a splendid home for anyone desiring a neaf, mod ern house. This action of Mr. Baylor shows the proper spirit and is very commendable in him in showing his confidence in the future of tlie city. Another of the Plattsmouth citizens to come io the front in the work of providing for Ihe rapidly increasing population of the city is the firm of Peters & uiciiartis. wno have secured inree lots on North Sixth street. uion em cottages this fall, which will be put up by this enterprising firm for rental to those who de sire to secure a modern home. ' These ent erprpies in the building line are the forerunners of the general movement in that direction and several others in our city are soon to get into the procession by the erection of home for themselves, which will add not only to the appearance of tiie city, but will prove a very good financial move on the part of the parties putting up the houses. as they can easily b rented at good rates. ,-2 Zs,Sz: V . - . v.; ...

GOOD ROADS Ai WASTE OF FUNDS Just-as-Good The general agitation over Ihe country in favor of belter country roads ha quite naturally raised the cry from various sources that a great part of the funds spent on road improvement is wasted. The truth of l!i!s indictment. i apparent to anyone who is familiar with tlie general practice in road improvement, so-called. Plenty of money is spent in prati ing roads and considerable in putting in bridges, but the amount spent in maintenance work is neg Usable. The usual theory of precinct, and even county, road builders is to think that a l'oa.l once graded or a bridge once put in needs no attention again until it is impas sible. Then the work is done all over again, and the new work left to deteriorate at the same rate as Ihe former. Road buibb rs and farmers are beginning- to realize that a dirt road is not a permanent impioe ment, a pile bridge is no better, and even a concrete culvert can not be called indestructible if subject to constant abuse. The spread of this idea means to us the beginning of a time of real good road progress. Nowhere more than on a dirt road or country bridge does "a stitch in time save nine." The farmer who drags his road when it needs it after every rain is do ing a bigger thing than the grader outfit can do. In the course of a few draggings tie will have established a real road that will shed most of the water fall ing on it and offer a firm, even track for vehicles. If he is bat tling with a load in which sand predominates, h. has a lugger task in dry weather than in. wet. Then it is that a few loads of solid dirt in the "chuck holes" as I bey begin to form will do inestimable good. At the ends of the bridges and culverts, where the dirt be gins to settle away and leaves a jump-off that means slow-driving or broken springs a few minutes work with a shovel now and then will make every traveler over the road sing the praises of the unknown friend who made the crossing of that particular bridge or culvert, smooth and safe. A little attention in keeping the dirt on lop of the concrete culverts will mean much longer life for them, for even concrete needs al ien t ion to prevent wear. Road maintenance ought not to cost the county or precinct so much, but the will to see that it is done ought to be stirred up in the farmers who are on the job and have the time and means to easily take the "stitch" in lime. There is no ARTHUR TROOP FRACTURES COLLAR BONE IN ACCIDENT From Tuesday's Dally. Arthur Troop, who re south of this city about miles, was the victim of a sides live very painful accident, last Saturday as the result of which tie is nursing a fractured collar-bone. He was driving along with a load of fod der and in some manner slipped and fell off of the load onto the load and thence into a deep creek, alighting on his head and shoulders. with tlie result of causing the fracture as noted above. It is really fortunate however, that the fall did not have' even more serious results as the distance he fell was some eighteen feet. As soon as pos sible after the accident Mr. Troop was brought to this city and the ininred member dressed bv a surgeon and he was made as comfortable as possible, although he will be compelled to take a rest from his farm .duties for a few weeks. Has His Foot Injured. From Tuesday's Daiiy. Last evening James Aull ar rived home on No. 2 from Caspar, Wyoming, where lie had been for the past few months engaged in bridge work for the Burlington. James met with a very painful accident a few days ago that will force him to take a layoff of a week or two. He was working around some timbers, and while tepping over a large one his foot came in contact with a large pike sticking out of one of tlie boards and the nail penetrated liis foot clear to the bone. The men in charge at Caspar wanted him to go to the hospital with the injured foot, but he concluded to come home to have it attended (O right.
