PAVE JOHNSON
Much has been said in the ]
past few years about paving
he streets leading into Min-
eola. Now that one street has
oeen paved on the West with
che aid of the State Highway
Commission, it would not be
a .bad thing to pave the street
to the north.
While the present State Com-
mission is favorable toward as-
sisting towns in their paving
projects the City Commission
should get this aid and to-
gether with the amount whir-
would be paid by the proper!,
owners, the city would be oi
very little money at the most.
It <-ost the city practically
nothing in securing the paving
r. tile West: it would cost no
more in getting Johnson street
paved.
The base or foundation of
Johnson street is excellent, bet-
ter than the regular highway
and a'-' it stands is nearly ready
for the tar. If the City Com-
mission would get busy on this
project there is little doubt
but that it could be done, and
that at an. early date.
It is understood that Winns-
boro is to have this same type
of work done on the highway
•ito her town and has secured:
state aid. Let Mineola 46 the
same. Get ^ Johnson
paved.

Before the present adminis-
goes out of office it

more than capable of doing this
and no doubt have this im-

While the health officers
were in Mineola Tuesday, a fep-
-jjresentative from the State
^Health Department visited the
: local water plant. His state-
ment was in substance as fol-
lows: "Mineola has excellent
water but there are , two or

"Count" Coins by Weight
If you liad a ton or pennies how
ricii would you be? Ur if some one
guva you 4,000 quarters In a sack
could you take tliera home? In other
words, how much would the sack
weigh? The Federal Reserve bank of
Xf>w York handles so many coins
daily that it has machines to count
and weigh them. The turnover in
coins at this bank averages 35 tons a
day, including gold, silver, copper and
nickel, says an exchange. Quarters
lead this group in value, with nickels
second and dimes third. Since most
of the business of the bank is done in
large sums, the coins are packed tn
sacks of convenient size and weight
for handling. A sack containing 4,000
quarters weighs 53 pounds. Dimes
also run $1,000 to a 53-pound bag.
Fifty bags of nickels total $10,000 ; 00
bags of pennies weigh a ton and are
worth $3,000.
