provements in Washington county, and to
report at a public meeting of the citizens
of this community at some future time, to
be set by the chair.
The chair stated that appointments
would be made during the week.
Mr.. Harvey Anderson was called
for and said, 81 am in favor of roads.
We need them. If it can be done
under the law, l say bond the county
and build the roads," He raised the
question as to the legality of commits
sioners, as county officers, being
elected by precinct vote. He said
it should be remembered that g in
union there is strength and in discord
there is defeat.
Ayers said he believed the gentle
man to be correct in his legal propo
sition.
VIM. Sommercamp, Wallace and
others, made short speeches.
Ali those speaking during the even
ing voiced nothing but generous,
whole -souled sentiments that we wish
every man in the county could have
heard, and which would have dis
persed the idea, which we are led to
believe exists in the minds of many,
that there is sectional pull down
here for any special benefits.
1t was drawn out that if the plea
of community like Mineral, of some
300 souls, for good road to the
county seat-especially when backed
by a petition representing about one
half the taxable property in the coun-
TWAS to be ignored, it threatened
the success of the equally important
Seven Devils road, and others, and
| that it was time for such action as
would not fail in securing the success
of such needed factors in the coun-
ty's prosperity. The commissioners
were criticised on their policy. One
of the speakers said: 81 know of two
of the commissioners who were elect
ed on the promise of liberality in
road matters, and l heard one of
them say when he was canvasing that
the only thing he wanted to be elect
ed for was to get good roads, as he
understood road work and wanted an
opportunity of taking a hand in Sc
curing better road facilities. [ dc
not hesitate to say that man is in the
house here tonight Uevander was
the only commissioner there-Al.
Williams dared not show HIMSELF.
How has he carried out his pledge2'
Levander was called for and arose
and said that he was in favor of roads,
but that in voting against the Minera
road he thought it his duty to vote
as the district which elected hin
seemed to desire (an extenuatin&
reason, perhaps, and one behinC
which one Williams cannot shielc
himself.
W. G. Jennings was the only othe
man present from Meadows. Bein,
l called for he stated that he favore,
roads in this county wherever the,
might be located; that he saw NJ
e reason why the Mineral road shoul'
not be built, as the people in thi
> section paid enough road taxes eac
year to build it. He said there wa
: Weiser money in all the roads in tn
upper end of the county, and he di
) not understand why road in this en-
should be opposed.
g The following resolution was o.
/ fered and unanimously adopted:
il RESOLVED, That it is the sense of tn
10 meeting, that in view of the fact that
,r was the almost unanimous desire Of Il
