Oh the utter disregard to the rules OF
the road relative to drivers OF all
kinds of vehicles, and quoted some OF
the experiences he has had, one OF
which was not later than this morning
in regards to drivers turning corners
in a wrong and dangerous method.
He thought that the matter should be
taken up as soon as possible by the
proper authorities.
Mr.. Spalding voiced the same senti-
ments as Davis and made a motion
that the matter should be taken up by
the Committee through the secretary
and the matter should be presented to
the Sheriff as well as the Board OF
Supervisors. The motion was second
ed by Mr.. Hall and carried by uhani-
nous vote.
A motion was also made by Spalding
and seconded by Mr.. Hall that spe-
cial committee should be appointed
relative to the suggestions made by
George Davies with regard to the inn
provements around the Executive as
well as the property around the Judi
ciary building, which was also carried
by an unanimous vote.
w. w. Thayer spoke also on the sub
ject of the rule of the road, and stated
that the rules were embodied very
clearly in the County Act and that all
that was necessary was to have the
Sheriff enforce the ordinance.
Mr. Hall made a motion to nave the
rules printed in English, Japanese and
Chinese, but the president announced
the fact that there were no funds
available at present for the WORK.
F. L. Waldron made a motion that
the work for the next three months
should embody the matter of unsightly
fences and sidewalk lines. ". W.
Hall wanted to have the matter OF
trees being trimmed taken in the same
work. Spaldlng also suggested that
the matter OF cutters and the condi-
ton of the streets also be incorporated
in the work for the next quarter. the
motion was finally passed by an unani-
nous vote. After the report from
Postmaster Pratt was read a motion
was made and seconded, voting him
thanks for the interest he had shown
in the work The meeting was then
adjourned shortly afterwards.
Chairman Myers addressed the meet
ing as follows:
AT our last meeting held June 18th
it was voted to hold our next meeting
this month, and hereafter, hold meet
! ings every three months. 1t is un
fortunate that so long an interval has
elapsed since our last meeting for thu
reason that the impression has beef
given to the public that improvement
matters are tagging.
Our special work for the past fou
months has been the repair of streets
You will now be favored with a full
report which will be read at this meet
ing from Joseph G. Pratt as to jus
what has been done in street worl
since our last meeting. Accompanying
this report is largs amount of infor
nation from Road Supervisor Samue
Johnson regarding work done, and
is certainly a very valuable suggestion
that Col. Johnson offers to the effec
that property holders can assist tn
Road Department until more funds ar
available by removing weeds from tn
sidewalks and cutters. The growtl
of weeds in the street and on the side
walk is certainly a great Disagreement
and now that the Road Department
stands ready to cart away all refus
caused by the removal of weeds fror
the cutters and sidewalks, we ar
satisfied that large number of proI
erty holders will Immediately ava
themselves of this favor, and a genera
improvement will be the result Thi
affords an excellent opportunity fo
the local clubs to take up this worl
Arrange, if possible, for certain clear
ing days in your districts and pile u
the weeds and refuse for the Roa
d Department to remove.
: There seems no reason now to dues
; ton our judgment in taking up or
line of work at time for special e.
fort, but it is certainly a mistake
drop one thing before it is finished
take up another, and it is to be hope
that the cleaning of side walks, the in
provement of streets and other matter
will be continued together with an
r new line of work which may be electt
, for special effort at this meeting.
Through the efforts of the Chat
man of our Press Committee Mr.. b.
Spalding the ordinance relating
curbing and sidewalks was publishe
1t is satisfactory to note that a nun
Der Of property holders have recent
added curbing to their sidewalks. TIL
seems one of the most noticeable IN
: provements possible, and it is to
+ hoped that others will be influenced I
3 this good example to do likewise.
: I'VE are also glad to see that
number of property holders have r
moved their fences fronting on Il
