Washington, Feb. 2S.-Thh Mexipan

AN AuT0IST TALKS
on GOOD ROADS
Would Compel Every Member OF the
Board Of County Commissioners to
Be the Owner of u Car, Believing
1t Would Tend to Substantial
Betterment Of Highways.

The following from the pen of A.
q. Osborn, former president of the
city council and one of the sub
stantial business men Of the range,
will be of interest not only to auto
owners but to every citizen of this
north country who believes in devel-
opment and prog1 essiveness:
If l could have my way as the
owner of IN automobile and an en-
tnusiast on automobiling and good
roads, would require every member
Of the board of county commission
ers to be the owner of an auto.
would ask the Rotary Clubs and the
Automobile Club, in the various
cities of the county not to support
any man who came out for county
commissioner unless he owned an
automobile, and would use it in 60
ing over the roads in his district.
The Miller Trunk Road, a great
portion of it at least, is a poor excuse
TO be called good road in this very
wealthy county. 1t would not cost
the county whole lot of money to
have turn-outs say every half mile
apart on the lorg swamps, so that
when two machines meet midway
one or the other would not be COM
PEELED to back up TO find some place
vide enough and where the ground
was solid enough to allow one to
pass without getting mired in the
morass. The old corduroy is rot
ting out fast and the ends of the
loss break off, letting the machine
down; then one has to wait for help,
because of no footing on which to
use jack-screw, or walk to some
farm house and get team and pay
whatever the farmer may think he
can hold you up for.
If each of the county commits
sioners owned a machine it would
not be long until all Of our county
roads would be good roads, and the
farmer as we'll as the auto owner
would be happy and join in praise
If the commissioners and the work
DONE
And if the county commissioners
Of St. Louis county would take a
| trip over the roads of Itasca county,
on the range, they would find much
! Of interest conducive to a betterment
Of the highways Of this county. In
'tasca county the roads are good and
wide, made of the right material
and it is a real pleasure to drive
over them. Surely St. Louis county
With it's wealth of assessed valuations
can afford to give us as good roads
as can Itasca county furnish her citi.
Zens, and we want them.'

A mass meeting arranged by the

j)urned to the city hall, owing to
the GOODNESS Of the reception of the

~hich comprised City Attorney Nor

questions, the answering Of which

tor the most part Attorney Dahl,
and the fact that his queries were
cl the kind that counted was evil
dt need by the hilarious silence fol-
lowing the propounding of the ques-
iicns and the attempt at answering
the same.
Mr.. Fesler devoted a greater por-
ton of his address-if it might be
SO called-to recital of the state
ment that the work of the special
committee in charge of the light and
water question, of which he was
member, was open and above board,
gii ing no opportunity Of graft. In
common with other auditors present
We failed to see any particular rela-
vency in this statement, inasmuch
as We have yet to hear of anyone
accusing anybody of graft in con-
nection with the agreement reached.
But later, when it came to asking

tangled on a point or two, one of
which was in reply to the query as

The Virginia enterprise., 1912-12-13

The address of Judge Montague
was characteristic of the gentleman,
and naturally carried almost as
uch weight as might have been ex-
rected, considering the source. He
cndeavored to make capital out of
the alleged statement that certain
citizens had been instrumental in
framing the report of the Tax-Pay-
e1's Association, but aside from
Calculating the fact, if his state
'nents were true as to the author
ship of the document, that it was
framed and given the public by hon
est, honorable, reliable tax-paying
citizens who keep their wives and
their homes in the same city in
which they vote, his talk was prac-
t:cally futile.
Others made brief addresses, in
cluding the mayor, but the climax
ci the meeting was decision,
unanimous, that Alderman McGhee's 8
COW gave more milk after she had
