what the work will cost them, and they
will be in a position to let the contracts

Sees Good Chance For Cripple
Creek Electric and Takes Up
Pure Water Movement.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Canon City Merchants association
last Monday night several important
matters were taken up for considera-
tion, although beyond the appointment
of additional committees of investiga-
tion to any Of them.
A. H. Seely, chairman of the COM
mittee charged with inquiring into the
intentions of G. w. Baumhod, of st.
Louis, concerning the building of the
proposed electric railway line between
Canon City and Cripple Greek, called
upon s. H. Atwater for a report of the
investigations lately made by him in
regard to the matter in the Cripple
Greek district. Mr.. Atwater stated
that considerable interest was mani
Tested BY the citizens of Victor and
Cripple Greek in Mr.. Baumhoff's prop
oeition and that the outlook for the
construction Of the contemplated road
was far from discouraging. On motion
the president of the association was
authorized to appoint a subcommittee
of two members to cooperate with the
original committee in its work, fea-
ture of which is visit to Victor and
Cripple Greek next week for the pur-
pose of ascertaining what financial
assistance. If any, the business men of
those.places are willing to extend to
the enterprise
Another matter discussed at Mon
day nights meeting was the question
Of a.better water supply for the city
than the one we now have. The opin-
ion was unanimous that purer water
was essential to the growth and pros
perity Of the community, although
there was q disagreement rs to how it
could best be obtained. Some of those
taking part in the discussion favored
the idea of obtaining the water from
artesian wells, others expressed the
belief that the only practicable source
of supply was the Arkansas river,
while::aIfew held to the theory that q
storage reservoir in the mountains was
preferable. A committee of five
members was appointed to collect data
on the subject for the future guidance
of the association. The committee is
made up as follows: C. A. Biggs, DR..
Graves, W. T. Wallace, S. H. Atwater
and Guy q. Hardy
A proposition for holding a regular
monthly market day in Canon City
when the people of Fremont county
might dispose of their produce Of what
ever kind at public sale, was presented
to the association for consideration.
The matter was debated and as some
good points were brought out in the
discussion a committee was appointed
TO look into the matter and report the
result OF its findings at the next meet
ing.
Secretary D. W. Ross was instructed
to give as much time as he could spare
from his official duties during the next
few weeks to promoting the welfare of
the Fremont County Fair, TO be held
here September 20, 2l and 22.. after
which the association adjourned.

by the county or by the city councils
towards the good road movement.
Aman Moore, president OF the Free
mont County Good Roads Association
has been active and he has had the
support OF many men.
Everybody seems to be in favor OF
the movement for good roads and all
know nothing can be done without the
expenditure Of money.
Mr.. Moore writes . personal letter
TO the publisher OF The RECORD setting
forth some suggestions about the good
roads movement.
In part he says:
you have, no doubt, already been
made scquairted with the suggestions
made 70 the county commissioners and
the city councils OF both Canon City
and Florence.
"The next step TO be taken will be 70
urge the county commissioners TO
purchase n steam roller. at their next
meeting, one week from next Tuesday
This is a very important step as the
cities cannot go ahead until this roller
10 provided by the county. When this
roller 10 purchased by the commits
sionerr the cities can then go ahead on
. definite basis with construction Of
the macsdsm roads within the city
limits.
"The second step that 10 most irnpor-
sant for the county commissioners will
be for them to authorize and employ,
at their next meeting, one week from
Tuesday. the county engineer and such
assistants as IL necessary, giving them
instructions to proceed Immediately so
survey the shortest and most feasible
line for county road connecting the
city iimits OF Canon City and Florence.
'sThese engineers should set grade
ssakss. make . profile and show the
exact amount OF cuts" and fills" so
that any contractor could look over the
plans and make n bid on the work.
When this survey is complete the
county commissioners would then a.k
for bids from competent contractors to
furnish wagons and tesms for the re-
moval of the dirt in making the road
bed and also depositing the macadnm
material and using the county steam
roller to thoroughly roll and pack in
piace the material. In other words the
contractors could make bid for all the
tho tfar1 n
labor, which the county commissioners
can supply In the way Of convicts.
.In this way the commission can get
at the accurate and exact cost, and in
my Judgment they will be able to con-
struct the road cheaper by contract.
excepting labor, than by going ahead
to hire the teams and do the work
themselves.
"The suggestions mnde to the city
councils of Florence AMI Canon City
have been referred to committees, and

council OF Canon City, and Mr.. Parneii
