RANDOLPH - One petition of 100 percent signers has been turned in to the city clerk asking for gravel on our streets.
Other petitions have met with the proposition of cost, asking that the cost per 50 foot lot be placed at the head of the petition.
Under the law, work of this kind must be let by bid and, of course, the bid price cannot be known before they are submitted and opened.
The price given in The Times last week was an estimated price, based on the price of delivered gravel to Highway No. 20.
Right now is the time for this graveling while the crew and loading equipment is ready to go and before the last coat is applied to No. 20.
A committee of the Lions Club, has, however, been named to get the facts just as near as possible and in definite form. The matter should not drag along.

RANDOLPH - Charles Kesler of Randolph had a lucky escape from serious injury when his car was badly wrecked in a collision on No. 81 near the L. M. Hixon place.
Three machines figured in the circumstances—a highway maintainer, a big sedan from Naper, Nebraska, and Mr. Kesler’s car.
The maintainer was at work where cement posts on either side mark a culvert; the Naper car carrying several passengers was going south, while Mr. Kesler, with 20 melons as his load, was going north. The Naper car and the Kesler car, neither seeing the other, attempted to pass the maintainer at the same time, and the crash resulted.
The Kesler car was badly wrecked, the melons mixed with the wreckage, but Mr. Kesler emerged uninjured. The Naper car was only slightly damaged.

RANDOLPH - In the annual tournament of the Randolph Golf Club, played Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, John Schrad walked away with the honors after defeating Ed Walz, last year’s champion. Ralph Carhart, winner of the upper bracket was downed by a 6-4 score by Schrad, winning second money in the championship flight.
Schrad’s first round was played against R. W. Hahn, who gave him a good battle to the last hole, Schrad winning 2 down and 1 to play. In the second 18-hole play, Schrad was pitted against last year’s champ, Ed Walz, and succeeded in taking him to camp by another 2-1 score.
Thereafter, Schrad’s going was easier, defeating Lyle Reed in the semi-finals 3-2, and Carhart in the finals by 6 down and 4 to play.
In the past three years not once has the same man held the championship honors more than from one tournament to the next.
In 1928, Milo Brown was champ, with Ed Walz runner-up; in 1929, Walz was high man, with Milo Brown runner-up; in 1930 neither of the former champs or near-champs played in the final.
