The Princeton union., 1900-08-30

money along the road for hotel bill
livery, ETC., and this Mile Lacs count,
i people would get if our roads would at
! tract this travel ..
r. Z. Ludden: The idea is all RICH,
and am heartily in favor of voluntary
contribution: It helps the farmer boy
. No. l., and the merchants No. 2
We'll chip our 80 yen with the rest.
! II. Newbert: =. The good roads move
ment is all right. Let's have the
meeting. five start the ball rolling
every merchant on the street can af
ford to give literally. Say, by the
way, that last shot you gave US las,
week was rotten Galley was the first
one to mention the matter to me and
he called the special. meeting. I want
you to retract that. He is as deep in
the mire as the rest of u.s..
3. B. Anderson: The good roads
movement is all right but the UNION
evidently expects the merchants to dc
7 everything. That roast in the UNION
this week, calling them sAinAints will
hurt them for six months and they had
hard enough road to travel before.
Ii the UNION wants to roast somebody
lot 1t take those who are to be blamed
and not the innocent ones. .<
F. S. Walker: I am agreeable and
will contribute my share pro rata. I
was little sore before when the sub
scription was made for gravelling the
Greeubush road. Some gave nothing
and many much more able to contrib
ute gave no more than did.
| G. II. Rines: The meeting is all
right. The merchants are the proper
ones to contribute, too, but the town
has more than its share of small busi-
ness men when it comes to promoting
public enterprises and I am afraid the
movement will fail.
S. Long: Iguess the idea of meet
ing is all right. It would be nothing
more than right for the merchants to
contribute to a good roads fund.
j. J. Skahen: I am in favor of put
ting the roads leading to and from our
village in the best possible condition,
not only for the benefits which will re-
dound to the business men but also for
the good impression it will give people
who come here for the first time.
think levy should be made for the
reason that there are people here who
are the first to reach for the benefits to
accrue and the last to give. However.
if it comes to contribution I will give
my mite.
N. b. Jesmer: | have been where
roads are good and I am ready to do
all that can to help the movement
The day though may be bad for the
meeting as that is the last day of the
fair and the people will be tired.
H. B. Jesmer: You've got good gall
to ask the merchants to help out in
your scheme after the roast you gave
them this week. This is the second
time this year you haye roasted US.
If the home paper jumps on the mer-
chants the merchants ought to Jump
on the home paper.
Chas. Keith: Good roads are good
thing but the money should be raised
by taxation and not by contri button.
Then the burden is equal. When I
get broke III go to the county and not
my friends. I have paid taxes to the
county, that is, what I couldn't get out
of, and its the same with the town.
r. E. Jones: The goodroads propo-
sition is all right but I think you'll
find the people more ready to roast
you than to contribute That roast
OF the council on Thursday was a good
deal like boys play.
c. A. Jack: I think it is a good
thing. I'll do my share too in the con-
tribution: don't think we can do it
all in one year.
O. G. Tarbox: I guess am as much
Interested in the betterment of the
roads as anyone. While I doubt the
feasibility of the plan OF securing con-
tributions, I won't be- behind in the
matter. Let's fix the roads perman-
emily, if only one year.
A. Mark: 1t is good thing. Let's
have the meeting and get people inter-
ested. I'll contribute as much as
can afford.
VIM. Jones: I think the movement
is all right but the village ought to be
in shape to support it.
A. N. Holm: The idea is a dandy
and | believe the meeting will be a
success. I think the farmers in the
Green lake neighborhood will be only
too glad to take up the matter. I know
l will put in all the team work that
can possibly and not neglect my own
business.
Dennis Kaliher: Elk River has
gravelled the road clear to our town
line. From that point north tha roads
