000 feet of one course concrete,
hsd completed two-thirds ot tbs
work tbis week, 12,000 feet being
down.
It is reported tbat tbs company
is seeking more men to add to its
crew in order to make better progress on tbe road.
Some weeks ago a protest was
made against the delay In completion of tbe road. The state highway department at tbe tims replied to tbe communication with
a promise of action to secure better progress.

July, with its heat and dust, is
not a month conducive to thoughts
of love, and so the lsds and la-~-
sies who contemplate matrimony
a-e not tempted to take tbis step
as they are in the balmy month
of June, and business at Ihe marriage license booth at the prothon-
otary's office in Hollidaysburg is
not of the best
However, the seventh month
this - ear proved to be better than
usual in this 'line, seventy eight
license-] having been issued from
tbe office of Protbonotary Paul L.
Hall, but tbis ia quite a tailing off
trom tbe month of June, when
148 couples secured licenses to
wed.
Tbe greatest reoord made for
July was in the veej* 1920, when
eighty-one marriage licenses were
granted. The smallest record
wss made in 1921 with fifty-two.
The total number of marriage licenses issued since tbe law went
into efteqt is 30,716.

The State Highway Department's road construction program
for 1923-1924 will include but 275
miles ot durable highway. Tbe
department haa but $15,000,000
available for road construction
and tbe mileage contemplated
will exhaust this fund.
It there is to ba any road baild
ing next year, the people of the
will have to provide tbe way for
it by voting next November for
the $50,000,000 bond issue. This
will be provided if the voters sap-
port the project, through the adoption of an amendment to the
constitution to increase the
bonded debt for roads from $50,-
000,000 to $100,000,000.
The federal aid available to
Pennsylvania approximates $5,-
000,000 and to secure this amount
tbe Commonwealth must provide
money on the basis of two to one,
tbis making the $15,000,000.
Exclusive ot the state-aid fund,

tor road construction. There is
uow but $800,000 of tho 1918 is
ue of bouds which wbiob brought
in $50,000,000 for roads, so tut if

next November it will be ueoes-
sary to resort to tbs motor license
fund in 1924 for $4,000,000 necessary to mske up the $10,000,000
required to meet the requirements
to obtain ths federal money.
