Young man, don't smoke. Keep down expenses if you would start in the world. A five cent cigar once a day would amount to $1S.25 in one year. Start bank account and save that amount and at 6 per cent simple interest you would have $570.00 in the bank at the end of twenty years. Save little out of your earnings each day and some day you may be independent.

Work Of Good Roads Association

A petition is now being dis
payers of Weld county which pro-
yides for the creation of road main
tenance districts in that county. The
road maintenance district law was
originally introduced in the legis-
lature in 1907 by Harry Watson,
and was amended to its present
form in 1911. The law contem-
plates the continuance Of the pres
ent centralized system of construct
ing roads and bridges; but author
ICES the formation of local main
tenance districts for the repairing
and maintaining roads in such dis
tricts by the expenditures therein
of the local road tax and the main
tainenance tax in the district where.
in the same is collected.
To form such maintenance dis
tricts the law provides that the
petition must be signed by not less
than thirty-fiye per cent of the
voters Of the county. These sig
natures having been secured this
petition is then sent to the county
commissioners for the formation of
the district.
Weld county is one OF the first
to take advantage of this law.
and it is believed that the forma-
ton OF local maintenance districts
Will go q long way toward solving
the problem of keeping local roads
in good shape.
The establishment of transconti-
mental highways across the state
OF Colorado is exciting much in
terest everywhere at the present
time. The Importance of good
road leading across the state has
been demonstrated this year by
the great success which has attend
ed the building of parts of roads
in various localities Of the state.
Everywhere these roads have been
an excellent investment. and as a
result such u transcontinental high
way Is now demanded. The coming
convention of the Colorado Good
Roads Conference association at
Pueblo next January will discuss
these roads, and the committee
named by the vice presidents OF
the association is now securing data
to present to the delegates at Pueb-
10.
The people of the western slope
are working hard foS such road.
The need of 1t to the state IL most
apparent because only a small per
centage of the visitors to the state
in autos cross the divide because
of the lack OF roads. Garfield. Pit
kin. and Eagle counties are work
ing for such road. One of the
fayorite routes suggested is over
Independence Pass where six
per cent grade can be obtained. In
those counties local associations
have been formed recently, and not
only the transcontinental routes
are being discussed. but efforts are
being made to improve the local
roads.
