A GOOD ROADS MEETING
AT KELL|HER SATURDAY
KeIIiher Citizens and Farmers of Vicin.
ity Will Discuss Means for
Better Roads.

Kelliher Journal: A good
roads meeting is called at the
auditorium of the school house
for Saturday evening March 16,
at $50 p. M, to which the far.
mers of the surrounding country
and the citizens of Kelliher are
urged to attend. The meeting is
called for the purpose of discuss
ing good roads; to form ulate
plans and means for their con.
struction, and generally to pro.
mote the good roads idea.
Means and the manner of con.
struction will be one of the prin-
cipal topics for discussion, and
those who have had experience in
road building will be called upon
to give their ideas regarding the
proper construction of the roads
and their maintenance. In this
way the ideas of those in touch
with construction work can De
obtained, and general plan
adopted. -
The need of good roads need
not be here discussed. The need
of them and their relations to the
upbuilding and advancement of
any country is too we'll known to
admit any argument. Suffice to
say that the general prosperity
|of this and other communities
are dependent to a great extent
upon the condition the roads are
in.
Farmers who are interested in
the prosperity and general ad.
vancement of this country should
not fail to be in attendance.
Some practical ideas of road
building are sure to be advanced;
or what is more, you may have
an idea of your own, which
, would be worth knowing.

Of the most important to the city
and to them is set the task Of
finding the exact condition oil
each fund in the city; how the
money is to be raised; how much
is needed and how it is mos,
economically to be used.
To the auditing committee is
given the task of examining into
every bill presented to the coun
Gil and report upon same, as tt
it's reasonableness and whether
or not it complies with the pro
visions of the charter.
To the water and light com
mittee falls one of the. heavies
duties and that is the inadequate
water supply we now have, anc
it is to them to device some way
to increase theTsupply over wha'
1t now is, or provide some othe,
means for the use of water. The
matter of properly lighting the
city is always before the council
and with a city growing as fast
as is our city, it becomes theil
duty to provide additional street
lighting, as same may be deemed
necessary and advisable.

the service we now have, and
provide the protection best pos
sible to obtain.
To the committee on parks is
