COMMUNITY JEALoUsIRs.
Mr.. Mills, speaking on the subject, dis
cussed the merits of methods of town i'm
provements, as illustrated in measure by
the meeting at Stockton. He spoke against
the common feature of ill-feeling in COM
munities. and Of the tendency of one per-
son to run down the value of the property
Of another. He told Of one notary in an
interior town who, when called upon re-
garding the sale of piece of land for
$1,000 an acre, told the purchaser that he
knew of better place for $1,000. He ad-
vised hearty cooperation in the improve
ment of communities. Fix up your own
places" he said, and then he advised the
State Board to do all in its power for towns
trying to be progressive. He expressed
willingness to go to Red Bluff at a meeting
called for progressive action, if Mr.. Estee
was willing to 60 also. Continuing he
spoke hopefully Of the prospects for all
sections of the State, and especially of the
high prospects for all present centers of
population.
OTHER VIEWS.
Mr.. Estee questioned regarding the pos
sibility Of keeping up such meetings, and
asked who could go to these different coun-
u,
most Of them, at least, are kept too busy
with private matters. For himself, he
would be willing to go to Red Bluff, but he
was confident that he was not much Of a
boomer" He believed in helping those
communities that help themselves. By
booming he meant to let the world know
just what the resources Of the place are and
tell no more. He advised against the
State Board attempting moro than it could
fulfill.
General Chapman urged the adoption Of
the resolution, saying that few words in
q town from stranger would be of more
value than all that residents might say.
The State Board desires support, but it can
not have it unless it takes some measure.
to let the supporting bodies know what it
is doing.
Discussion followed at some length and
resulted in the adoption of the resolution.
