Nearly all the commercial clubs OF
the county were represented at the fair,
and ii was therefore thought to be fine
opportunity for discussing matters of
interest to all the county. A meeting
of all the clubs was held al noon and
lively discussion was had. The prin-
Cipal action taken was as TO the build
ing Of better roads. The county COM
missioners have for some time been
considering the matter OF bonding the
county for road building purposes, but
we're a little uncertain as to the condi-
ton of public sentiment. This doubt
was cleared I'd for them yesterday by
the clubs. which voted unanimously to
stand behind the commissioners IN
bonding the county for $4,000 with
which to construct roads on q modern
plan. It is therefore pretty certain that
Cache county viii begin road building
in real earnest soon
