Supervisors Lee. Barnes and Mars
ton made short talks in which they
showed tha they were in hearty
sympathy ith the movement and
were ready to 90 their part as Of
ficsrs. Clerk Geddy called on other
men present for expressions as to
the road. Mr.. H. N. Phillips gave
IL unqualified approval and told OF
the recommendations of the James
City road committee which had ask
ed the board 10 make a liberal ap
preparation. Mr.. I. II. Stryker re-
spOnded to a call for a speech and
said he was heartily in favor OF such
a road and that he and his ueiehbors
down the Grove way would be found
making liberal contribution out Of
their own pockets when the tme
came. Mr.. A. D. Hauk, of Car
ter's Grove" D" who is connected with
the cement corporation. was called
upon and promised to give il his
support financially and otherwise.
He said he and his company we're
Of course interested and while he
could not speak for the corporation,
he felt assured that II would encour-
age the building Of the highway In
every manner possible. Mr.. @. K.
WaltiP, one of the contractors. for
Jamestown. said he would cheerful
ly surrender at least SI5O of his fund
to be applied to the new road. and
that be believed in road building in
general and this one in particular.
Il was a thoroughly unselfsh meet
ing. all men interested vieing with
each other in doing something 10

the road.
Mr. Armstrong said that the Good
Reads Association would have 10
supplement the county funds by

would be made up oy popular su0-
Scripuons. AL the officers are en-
thusiastic over the way the James

JAMES CITY
FOR ROAD,
Board Gives VGfv
LiberaIIV,

One Of the most enthusiastic meet
ings Of the James City board of su-
PoTvisors held here in a long time
was that held Monday. when by a
unanimous vote $3.50 was appropri-
sted for the Richmond-Newport
News sand and clayroad. Besides this
sum, the board made application 10
the state for aid IN the sum Of $1,000.
To get the state aid the county has
to put up dollar for dollar. The
$500 was for state aid. and If the
sum apportioned to this county
amounts to more than that sum. then
the difference is to be supplemented
by the Good Roads Association,
which was pledged by Mr.. Darling
and his associates. James City's
fund IS divided as follows:
From the depositum. $500; from
jamestown Surrendered by Messrs
Wsltrip and Siauson and Walden who
have cOntacts) $500: from Stone
house $50; from Powhatan 500.
II the state gives $1,000. then about
$3.50 will be the result of the
boards meeting Monday.
After the reading Of the minutes
by Clerk Geddy. Mr.. Frank Darling.
or Hampton. president Of the, Viz
ginia Peninsula Good Roads associ-
alton, was Introduced. Mr.. Oar
Ing told Of the efforts made to Sc
cure assistance from New Kent,
Richmond. Newport News, and
York. The report that York had
given $4,000 seems to have been
erroneous, or rather if that county
gave the sum mentioned il was in
such way as 70 make it impracd
cable for the Association to accept
It. Il appears that the York board
VIII give the amount mentioned, but
It does so under the condition that
Lateral lines be built to Yorktown
and also through the lower part OF
the county, far away from the di-
rgct line to Richmond as proposed.
OF course. the object of the Associ-
alton IS 10 build to Yorktown and
jamestown now, but particularly to
construct a short road between
Richmond and Newport News, An
other attempt viii be made to get
York in line with a proposition that
can be accepted. Pres. Darling saio
he had been promised assistance in
Richmond, Norfolk and Newpor,

of the latter place had contributed
about 5000 and a committee is al
