F: E. Cawley spoke on the matter
Of Good Roads," which he said MI.
Lindbergh had to some extent COW
cred, and he endorsed his remarks.
What was needed was the applica-
tion OF system and practical meth
ods instead of the present hap hazard
way In ten years the county had
spent $47,0O on roads, with some
improvement, but hardly a. much az
warranted, and the city had also spent
large amounts. Good roads were vital
to industrial prosperity and growth,
and 1t was essential to do something
better. While the constitution of the
state provides for a highway commits.

that direction, although an attempt

the legislature pass appropriate legis-
lation. He figured that better roads
meant at least an increase of $500
each to the merchants, so if twenty
merchants contributed $50 each. thei1
net profit on the increased business,
that would be $1,000, and with anoth.
er $1,000 from the county, much could
be done to improve the roads around
the city. Even if but q little is done
each year it should be done right.
