SUGGESTS A NAME

Engineers to F. A. Nimocks as
Best Able to Tell Them of

AS result of his activity in good
roads movements, Postmaster Frank
A. Nimocks is likely to be speaker
in Madison, Wis.,, at joint meeting
of the Wisconsin Society of Engi
neers and the County Highway Com
missioners of Wisconsin,, February
Is. Asked by the Wisconsin organiza
ton to suggest some one from Iowa
to tell the Wisconsin men something
of the "River to River Roads in Iowa, y
Hon. Late Young of Des .Moines i'm.
mediately referred the Wisconsin en-.
gineers to the we'll known Ottumwa
road booster and enclosed the letter
received from Wisconsin, which In part
asks the following:
Probably you could suggest some
one who would take care of this sub
ject we'll and interest an audience
with more or less technical knowl-
edge. We would appreciate it very
much if you would suggest name"
Send Letters Here.
The following letter with the above
enclosure was received by Mr.. MIN
ocks from Hon. LATE Young to whom
the request was made: -.-
Des Moines, Jan. 8, 1912.
Frank A. Nimocks, Ottumwa, Ia,
Dear Frank.| enclose letter
which explains itself. l have written
to these people recommending you.
have told them I thought you would
go unless engaged at that time.
think you are equal to the job. You
have given careful attention to the
road question, and most of all you can
tell them about our River to River
road. t... ~.
will see you on January IT. 49,.
Sincerely yours, .
- Lafayette Young.
-, Has Been Active. ~.
The activity that Mr.. Nimocks has
manifested in the good roads move
ment since it took form in this sec
ton but few years ago, has brought
him into the forefront of good roads
boosters of the state, and few have
given the matter more thorough
study."fn his official capacity of post
master, he has constantly kept after
the people along the rural routes with
a view to keeping the roads in the
best possible shape for the delivery Of
the mail along the nine routes that
move out from Ottumwa as the CEN
ter or hub. Never failing to attend a
road gathering when it was possible
to be present, and lending his time
and means to further the cause, he
has come to the notice Of road boost
ers all oyer the state, and even in the
other states. His speech on roads be-
fore the national meeting Of post
masters at Omaha during the past
summer and his numerous trips
through the state in the interest Of
the numerous river to river highways,
has made the Ottumwan a road boost
er of statewide prominence. Aside
from his craftsmanship of the CONNER
cial association good roads committee
he is an officer in the Blue Grass
route across the state and the White
Pole road between Ottumwa and Des
Moines. If Mr.. Nimocks is rendered
the invitation it is probable that he
will attend the Wisconsin meeting
and tell Of the Iowa roads.
