talked GOOD ROADS
Township Trustees 81 the Coun.
" Hold a Lively Session on
the Road Que stion.
Considerable Division Of senti-
ment Relative to the One
District System.
- -.
Meeting Refers the Question to
the Various Townships-.All
Represented.

Every township of the county was
represented at the meeting of the
township trustees Saturday afternoon
called for the purpose of discussing the
one district system of road improve
lment. The sentiment of the meeting
was quite evenly divided on the ques-
ton, as expected, but the discussions
brought out will be certain to result in
good.
The trustees as a body could not take
official action at the meeting had it beer
desired to do so. Mr.. Will Moningei',
of Calvin, presided and MIR. David Fer
guson, of Marion township, was secre-
tary of the meeting. The system of
placing the entire township in one road
district, collecting the taxes in cash and
employing competent men to do the
work has been adopted in Vienna, Ban
cor and Liberty townships. and the rep
resentatives present from these sections
could not say too much in favor of the
system. The delegates from LeGrand,
State Center and other townships also
favored the one district plan.
The delegates from Marion, among
whom were MIR. William Shipton and
Rev. Wheeler, led the opposition, and a
statement from one of them to the eff
feet that Marion townships roads were
good enough brough. Out a severe arr
fragment from Mr.. Hiram Hammond,
OF lseGrand. who intimated that Ma
lrion's roads could not be worse. He
lscalled special attention to one large hill
len the main Travelled road between this
lscity and LeGrand which at times was
almost impossible to teams hauling
l'loads. Mr.. Hammond insisted that any
System would be better than the one in
\ force in most of the townships at the
lpresent time.
| There seemed to be a fear on the part
| Of some of the trustees that the one
jdistrict plan wassa scheme to increase
/ the farmers taxes, and until. they are
educated out of this idea the system will
not be universally adopted in the
county.
\ The only formal action taken by the
meeting was the adoption of resolu-
tion to refer the question to the trus-
tees of the separate townships. The
TRUSTEES present, irrespective of their
personal Views, were we'll pleased with
1.-the meeting and satisfied that the dis
cussion of the road question in general
WAS general benefit.

announces that he has entered the race
and will compete at the primary with

however. to stay out of the contest at

obtained by the two candidates in this
