what we might call a Good Roads
Day. under the management OF the
merchants and travelling mems clubs,
to try and better the roads lead1n. to
our city? There are thousands OF
loads of cinders that the factories OF
Marshalltown will be glad to have US
take away. The day could be set aside
for work by everyone, other business
being suspended. All who could not
furnish teams for that day should do
nate enough money to hire one. and
we could have at least 500 teams in
line, and continue the road from the
city park north. II we could complete
but one mile on that date, it would be
a start in the right direction. We
| have no excuse to offer for the kind
of roads leading out of our city. Look
at the roads leading out of Jefferson
and Carroll for miles; there are no
| better in the state. If you have not
driven to the Country club this spring,
would advise you to take trip IN
| that direction and see what l.. II.
Maxwell, the president of the club, has
accomplished with but little - ense.
Let us get busy before some 0. the
towns near by ship out our cinders.
Marshalltown is said to be one Of the
prettiest cities in Iowa, partly owing
to the interest the people take in their
/ f1,Df, ln,x i,,
such fine shape If the mayor will now
enforce the ordinance as regards clean
ing up the alleys, we will have less
sickness and it will improve the city
| wonderfully.
The travelling men Of Marshalltown
should try and be at home Tuesday,
June 2, primary election day. 1t is a
duty we owe ourselves and the state
to vote on that day. Don't let it be
said of the travelling men, They take
| no interest in the welfare of our
state
