The Kind the “Kiddies” Like
Pike Reads of the
Plea© District
In answer to questions Wednesday
County Commissioner W. J. Robbins
informed the Star-Courier that work
eu all the pike roads of the Plano dis-
!rlcl iu bt’iug pushed as far as possi-
ble.
i he asphalt surface on the Exall
Highway Is now completed as tar
soufh as Allen, and the chats, the fUte
rock that goes under the asphalt to
make the hurd surface, has beeu
placed along the highway to the south
county line. The work will be com
pleted, Mr. Robbins thinks, within the
next two weeks.
As will be seen by an advertisement
for bids, contained In today’s issue ot
the Star-Courier, contracts for rock
and gravel work on six latteral or
spur pikes in tile Plano district, wilt j
be let by the commissioners court at
McKinney next Tuesday.
Mi. Robbins hopes that the greater
pai t ot the work on these spur pikes
will be completed this winter, but be-
lieves that their entire completion
within that time is improbable, ton-
tracts let Tuesday will carry the con
diiion that work must begin immed-
iately and be speedy and continuous.
Tlie spur pikes are described as
follows:
Tlie North Road—Leaves the Exall
Highway a mile north of Plano and
extends three miles north.
The Southeast Road—Leaves ttie
C\ali Highway a mile soutli or Plano
and extends two miles east.
The Bethany Road—Leaves the
Hast and West pike that runs through
1 kino at a point one mile west of
Plano and extends in a northwesterly
direction five miles to Bethany
church.
The Northwest Road—Leaves the
I’ethany Road at the corner of tlie
G. E. Carpenter and the 'Dooley farms
and extends west two miles and north
two miles.
The Renner Road—Leaves the East
and West pike four miles west of
Plano and extends southwest four
miles to the towu of Runner anil pro-
oeeaj, to a connection with the West
Collin pike.
The Dallas aud Preston spur Road—
Leaves the west end of the East and
West pike through Plano and extends
north one and a half miles and west
one mile.
When these spurs or latterel pikes
are built they will complete a network
of Like roads in the Plano district
that communicato with three main
line pikes—the Exall Highway, the
West Collin Pike and tlie East and
West Pike through Plano. The coin-
rdeted roads will be a magnificent
public achievement, and an invaIuaoie
convenience and ulility.
The sound ludgeinent, the untiring
application and the marked financier-
ing capacity exercised by Mr. Robbins
in the supervision of the road building
have been a matter of continual satis-
faction to those tax payers who have
observed his work. It is only In ex-
ceptional cases, the Star-Courier
thinks, that tax money has been so
well spent by a public official

S. M. HARRINGTON Pharmacist
Wednesday morning S. I,. Harring
ton, of Plano, exocuted a deed to
138 acres from his large holding of
fine Collin and Denton county farm
lands, to the Juliette Fowler Orphans
home of Dallas, an institution for tlie
rearing and education of orphan chil-
dren, maintained by the Christian
church. He had within the last few
weeks executed deeds to 2110 acres
from the same holdings to his Bon and
to 1,1s son’s four children. All trans-
fers were gratuitous.
The aggregate gifts amount to a
total of 2248 acres, and the land av
wages, perhaps, as fine farming soil
as tin* South affords. Tiie distribu-
tion as follows:
To the Juliette Fowler Home 138
orces. To his son Fred Harlngtori,
to whom he had already given n large
estate, 730 acres. To Ids gram) c’lll
dren, S, L. Harrington Jr., Fred Har- j
ringtam Jr., Miss Margaret Hairing- i
ton and Miss Sallle C Harrington. ■
1380 arcres.
T he donor of these legacies is one I
of the wealthiest men in Collin county,
and Is generally reputed to pay more I
taxes than any other individual in me '
county. He Is p native horn citizen
and has lived here all his life, aeeumu- I
lating his large estate by Industry, I
energy and thrift: giving to all men
equal and exact Justice In all dealings, I
and using those who have held an at- :
tiiude of dependence toward him, j
with unvarying consideration, kind- :
ness and in the spirit of helpfulness.
of hi? lands more indulgence, no mo
ney lender has allowed to the borrow
without losses or sacrifice
Hence the munificence of Mr Har
tlngton’s gift to tire orphans is not a
surprise to those who know him hut
