The following resolution in the in
terest Of good roads was unani-
mously adopted
RESOLVED, That we the executive
board and the committee on annual
fair of the Houghton County Agri-
cultural Society, realizing that good
roads are one of the essentials to the
advancement OF any community; to
that high standard OF worth and
usefulness to which it is entitled,
aud that while nature has done much
for the benefit of Houghton county,
good roads must work out our future
destiny to u very large extent; and
believing that whereas the U. S.
Congress is now considering the
Brownlaw bill for government aid
in a. sum equal to one-half the cost
of construction of any road, that it
is the duty of Houghton county to
encourage by all lawful means the
passage OF said act, and to cultivate
as. far as possible the sentiment and
necessity OF good roads among the
citizens in our county, that we may
not be behind our sister counties in
the Upper Peninsula, somc OF whom
are taking active measures for good
roads. We hereby express and de-
clare our support to the advar ce.
ment OF the good road movement
now so favorably under considera-
tion by our people, and, that our
citizens may see the movement for
good roads as it truly is, in our great
common wealth, we hereby appropri.
ate from any fund Of this society
that may be on hand the necessary
sum to purchase one hundred Good
Roads Magazines" the leading ad'
vocate OF that cause, for the period
of one year, to be addressed to our
people as gift to the cause OF good
roads and the advancement OF the
best interests OF our county.
