A Good Roads Association for New
berry County was organized in the
Court House on Tuesday morning. The
convention which resolved itself into
the Association was held in obedience
to call issued by Supervisor Jno. M.
Schumpert recently, and was attended
by number of representative citizens
from different sections of the county.
There was a great deal of discussion,
but all were agreed that some action is
necessary for the Improvement of the
public highways, and the only question
is as to the manner of doing the work.
While nothing of very great Importance
was done at the meeting on Tuesday,
the people have been brought together
and their efforts for good roads will
hereafter be organized and directed.
The organization of Township Associa-
tions was provided for, one Vice. -Presi-
dent of the County Association being
| elected for each township, and it being
made the duty of the various Vice
Presidents to organize Good Roads AS
sociations in their respective townships.
Thus will the whole county be organ
lied into body working for improved
roads.
The meeting on Tuesday morning was
called to order by Hon. Cole. l.. Blease.
Supervisor Jno. M. Schumpert was
made temporary chairman and Jno. K.
Aull temporary secretary. Supervisor
Schumpert in few words thanked the
Convention and stated the object of the
meeting-to organize a County Good
Roads Association, and then, if thought
necessary, to organize in the various
townships.
The motion to organize the Associa-
ton was put and unanimously carried,
and the following committee, one from
