A Well Organized Effort Being Made
to Improve Roads.
A large and enthusiastic meeting oi
gentlemen interested in having better
county roads, was held yesterday after
noon at the chamber Of commerce. Ex.
Senator Cole presided. The matter OF
good roads came in, for considerable dis
cussion andmany plans were suggested.
1t was decided to form a forestry and
road improvement company, for the
purpose Of securing some change in the
road system now in vogue.
George H. Peck, OF Eel Monte, made
several valuable suggestions. The
speaker claimed the present system Of
operating roads is effete, inefficient and
ruinously extravagant. Mr.. Peck sug-
gested that owners of land, outside Of
municipalities, should be required to
keep highways which skirt, their prop
erty in good repair. and. in the
event Of their failure to do
go, the roadmaster shall do the
same and the expenses incurred shall
be lien on the land until paid.
Quite number Of ideas were develr
oped at the meeting, and a nominating
committee was appointed to select Off
GERS to be elected at another meeting, to
be held at the chamber of commerce on
next Friday.
Messrs. w. III. Bonsall, Senator Cole,
Albert Kinney, John P. Early and Judge
Howard were appointed committee 10
draft bill, to be presented at this ses-
sion of the legislature, in the interest of
good county roads,.
