credit of the Club be it said, met with
no response, to strike out the resolution

Road Board, whose term has now ex-
PRED, has shown himself ready at all
times to give valuable and active assist
ance in improving our roads. Several
speakers expressed their appreciation of
MIR. Center's services as member OF
our Road Board, and the public OF this
District is certainly deeply indebted to
him, but it was firmly asserted
