The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1904-04-13
A Mass Meeting
At Court House Tonight

During the past years the Logan Journal
has agitated the building Of good roads and
other improvements that are absolutely neces-
sary to the growth Of this city and county, and
since its founding eighteen months ago. The
LOGAN REPUBLICAN has been incessaDt in
urging the citizens of Logan and the county to
organization for the future development of
the country's resources At last it seems that
this agitation is to bear good fruit. The gen.
cral public has come to see the truth of the
arguments set forth and now there is an over
whelmng demand for improvement along var
ious lines. The complete cessation OF business
during the past three weeks on account OF bad
roads makes the road question uppermost at
tie present time and has made the absolute
necessity of good roads so apparent that the
County Commissioners are considering ways
and means of accomplishing the desired end.
The condition of the county's finances is such
that the commissioners hesitate to move detn-
tely without an expression from the people,
and to obtain this, the people of the various
towns have been asked to hold mass meetings
before the 18th Of this month and discuss ways
and means of building roads and the kind pre-
ferred. Every meeting called should be well
attended, the various questions discussed and
an expression forwarded to the various COM
mssoners
In pursuance with the request for mass
meeting Mayor Robinson of Logan, has issued
the following call:
The citizens of Logan are hereby requested
to attend general meeting i'm the county
court house, Monday evening" April 18th, at
3 pm, to discuss the following business:
!. The ACCESSIBILITY of appealing to the peo-
pie generally to turn out in force on Decoration
day to clean up and beautify the cemetery
>. The improvement of our roads. The
county commissioners are investigating the
road question and have requested the interest
ed cities and town 10 express their ideas on
the matter both as to methods and extent of
work.
B. The Importance of the organization or
encouragement of brass or silver band.
1. To take steps for the establishment of a
public reading room and library, If thought
wise.
8. The necessity of Logan being classed as a
through point in matters of freight rates.
8. The necessity Of there being an express
and telegraph Office up town.

ent business organization.
f. w. ROBINSON
Mayor
1t will be noticed that Mayor Robinson adds
number of other matters for discussion at
this mass meeting, and in fact gives "Decora-
ton Day" precedence over the road question.
This is merely because of the fact that the
first will require but a few minutes for dis
posal while the latter may occupy the entire
evening, and If put first might crowd out the
decoration day matter entirely. That day
will soon be here and it is deemed advisable to
take immediate action.
1t is to be hoped that the citizens of Logan
will lay aside other matters Wednesday even
ing and attend this meeting The questions
to be considered are of no little concern, and
every man who has thought on the subject
should be willing to give the county and city
the benefit of his ideas If you haven't suii-
cient interest to do this, do not kick if the re-
suit is not what you hoped for or desired The
Lord hates kicker.
