FOR BETTER ROADS.
President Moore and Mr.. Wallace
Present Matter to Council.

In the interest Of better driveways
for this city and Fremont county in
general. President Aman Moore of
the Fremont County Goods Roads
association and J. Wallace of the
Chamber Of Commerce. appeared be-
fore the board Of alder man last night
and requested the gentlemen to take
some action toward securing improved
roads.
Mr.. Moore was the first to take the
door and made . short talk. setting
forth the many and varied advantages
that would follow the undertaking.
He suggested that the city employ an
expert engineer preparatory to seour-
Ing mscsdam roads and he thought
the very best in the country could be
had for less than $500 per month.
He also suggested that the city hire
the machinery and tools the county
would buy for work on the roads and
TO provide by hire or otherw ise
wagons TO employ the time Of the
oonviota the state would furnish in
the work; that the council Ask the
county commissioners to make requisi-
tion upon Warden Oleghorn Of the
penitentiary for the necessary number
Of oouvIcts. It Is the Intention Of
the association to build road from
the top Of the Royal Gorge to the
eastern confines Of Fremont county
that will last from twenty. Ave to
nfty years. No width has been de-
oidsd upon - yet but it will be
from sixteen to twenty feet. The
county Of Fremont has spent s9s. 900
In making and repairing the roads
In the last n,e years. What have
We even now 70 brss over even though
this vast sun Of money he's been
spent,

Mr.. Moore figured that it may cost

Mr.. Moore figured that 1t may cost
$3.50 block to macadam the streets Of
this city. This figure is secured -
follows: 500 for engineer. $3.50 for
excavation. 1886 for macadam rock,
etc.. in place and $25 for the hire Of
she tools. This, he said. was figured
at the very highest oost and he thought
the amount could be shaved at least
twenty Eve per cent. There are df.
teen blocks in the city that would
come under the new road system and
this distance would be macadsmized
for about $4,000. There are sixteen
propertie, on either side Of the street
in each block and the cost of the i'm.
provemsnt being assessed against the
property. would make the proportion
of cost to each property very small
and It is doubted II any Of the prop
erty owners would object to pay ing
the amount to have the streets In front
of their places paved.
Samples of the granite that will
be used and the other material have
been sent to Washington for test and
. report is expected to arrive shis
week.
Mr.. Wallace spoke briefly upon the
subject but urged the council to act
while the opportunity was offered.
He said the county will bear ninety
per cent of the cost Of the road and
he thought here 10 . golden opportu.
nifty knocking st the door Of the oity
that should be readily accepted. Mr.
Wallace is deeply interested In the
work and is doing everything IN his
power to further the project and get
mscadam road started in this county.
The council appointed Aldermen
Blunt. Beverstock and Psrnall to con.
fer with Messers. Moore and Wallace
regarding the matter but at this time
IL looks - II Florence will do her
share Of the work.
