The Good Roads Resolution
Unanimously Adopted at
Chamber of Commerce
Meeting Last Night.
OBJECTIONS
POINTED OUT
a Committee Appointed to
Ascertain Sentiment in
the Count

The Bluefeld-Graham Chamber of
Commerce met last night to discuss
the proposed bond issue for the ma
cadamizlng of the county's highways
a resolution was offered by ID. r..
French endorsing the good roads
movement and setting the Chamber S
approval upon the bond issue. The
motion was adopted after much dis
cussion and sundry objections to the
issue had been pointed out
Among the principal objections
which it was shown would be raised
to the bond issue were, that # is be-
ilg reported that the proposed roads
ore intended TO furnish grades for
projected trolley sy TENS; that Blue
field would object to bearing one
third OF the expense Of the roads and
get only one road; that limestone,
which would doubtless be used in
macadamiZing the roads, would, in
many places, have to be hauled a
long distance; and that the estimat-
ed cost Of $4,000 d mile would not
much more than complete the road
between Bluefield and Princeton.
After going on record as favorlng
the movement the following commit
tee was named by President Thomas
to ascertain the sentiment OF the
other parts of the county: George 5.
Strader, George a. Shirey, II. l.
Shott, c. OIcary and w. p. Hawley.
Attention was called to the fact
that there is mix up in regard to
the eastern extension Of Princeton
avenue to connect with the macadam
road being constructed the direc-
tion of Princeton. For space OF
over 1000 feet along the Norfolk &
We5tern right OF way in the Conman
! - tion, there is absolutely no pro-
vision for street, when the city he s
already agreed TO macadamize a
street to this connection. James
Kahle, member of the city board of
affairs, said that the city engineer
had been instructed TO make the sur
vey, but he reported the land alroaly
occupied with no street dedication.
The lots, appears were sold with
the understanding, and it so appears
or the plot of the addition, that there
was to be a fifty-foot street. Colonel
w II. Coffman, one Of the owners of
the property, who was present. said
that the miatake was made by the
engineer who plated the addition.
and that it was his original under
standing the street had been proviI
ed The railroad has offered to- give
twenty feet for street. and Colonel
Coffman will increase this by ten feet

sufficient width

Julesburg will have more NUM-

towns of its size. We are fast
coming to the front in matters of
permanent Improvements and it
will not be long until most of our
neighbors will have to take their

locate in a town where folks sit
around with their arms folded
and kick like two year old steers
at everything which smacks of
improvements. There is no dis
putting the fact that all of these
Improvements cost a lot of
money, but what would the town
amount to without them? Let it

up and doing and be glad that
nature has endowed them with

Renewing the Effort.

At the regular meeting of the
town trustees on Monday night
of this week one of the petitions
placed before it for consider
alton was that of parking the
streets. An effort was made to
have some action taken in regard
TO this matter last year, but
owing to the many other things
demanding the attention of the
trustees it was found necessary
to put this aside. But those who
are fathering the movement for
the identifying of tine streets
are of the opinion that the time
is now ripe for this movement to
be acted upon and hence are go
ing to make on honest effort to
get it started.
No one can fail to appreciate
the great need of a movement of
this sort, but there may be d.
version of opinion as to the mat
ter of procedure. However,
it is not our purpose at this
time to discuss this phase OF the
question, but let US hope that
the town trustees will not act
without carefully considering all
sides of it. Quite a number of the
property owners have already
made improvements of this sort
in front of their properties and
the effect is noticeable. Trees
have been planted, grass has been
sown and portion of the street
between the curb line and the
sidewalk has been graded and
made more slightly. There is
yet a great deal of this sort of
work to be done and 1T remains
to be seen just what the outcome
will be.
The petition was held over un-
til the next meeting of council at
which time some definite action
will POSSIBLY ne taken.
