viii Remove Poles.

The electric light company has
decided to remove its poles from
College Avenue, which were put
up at considerable expense in
order to furnish the residents
along that street lights for their
houses. 1t seems that the people
in that district changed their
minds after the service was in
stalled, only one consumer TAX
ing advantage Of the electric
Lighting system. OF course the
company cannot afford to main
tain the service, unless it receives
patronage from nearly all the
people living in that district.
They seem obstinate in the mat
ter and unless they change their
minds within the next week the
poles and wires will be removed.
When once removed the prOba,
bilities are that it will be some
time before such an extension
will again be made.

Good Roads News

Following the appointments
made by the state highway com
mission active work on the con-
struction of state roads will be
commenced in many of the coun-
ties at once Before work can
be commenced it is necessary
however for the commissioners
Of the various counties to accept
the appointments as made by
the state highway commission,
In regard to this Commissioner
Ehrhart has issued a statement
in which he says, While the
appointments made by the adj
visory board Of the state high
way commission have been ac-
ccptcd by many Of the counties,
there are still large number
from which we hayc not heard.
The time in which road cOnstruc-
tion can be done in Colorado is,

to take up the matter Immediate

The Colorado Good Roads Asso-
citation is having printed for dis
tribution copies Of the new state
automobile license tax bill. This
law will go into effect within a
short time. Copies have been
sent to all the county commits

the advantage Of each county
That the commissioners AT once
accept the appointments made.
In sending in their accept
tancos to the state highway com
mission it is necessary that the
commissioners clearly specify
upon what roads the state funds
are TO be used, and how much
the counties will cxpcud on said
roads. ~
While tho first appointments
made by the commission amount
ed to the sum Of 1928. 900 other
sums are yet to be allotted TO the
counties, and this will probably

Soon TO Print Four Pages


The Enterprise, as it has been
published for the past several
months, has scarcely done JUS
tice to its home advertisers in
that their advertisements, many
OF them have been run on pages
that do not carry home reading
matter. 1t is the desire Of the
new management to alleviate this
condition as soon as possible, but
until more space advertising is
forthcoming it will be impractic-
able, as it entails greater expense
to publish more pages at home.
1t is our ambition to print four
pages at home, and Just as soon
as the advertising patronage in
crcases enough to justify it, this
will be done. When it is done,
then the people Of Arvada will
have a paper they can send to
their friends with a degree Of
pride, and the business men will
reap the benefit from their eX-
pcndIturc for advertising in a
paper that the people will be
watching for each week, eager
to read every line in it.
1t will be observed that sever
al new advertisements appear
this week. Look them over
carefully, as they represent bust
ness firms which carry high grade
goods in their lines and like the
old slandbys they have faith in
their goods, faith in the people,
and faith in the Enterprise.
And you, dear reader, can help
to build up your town by patron
izing the home merchant. You
can greatly aid your home paper
by telling the merchant that
you saw his ad in the Enterprise.
You can also help make the paper
interesting by calling up Aryada
gJl when you have any item Of
news about yourself or any Of
your friends. Social affairs and
personal mention furnish the
spice for the local paper and make
it readable.

IllIlIuolcAolll JuoS NN-'A~' W -
eXuded from the lips Of many Of
the members and attendants OF
the Commercial Club meeting
Monday evening when the mat
ter of good roads was being dis
cussed. 1t was a representative
body of live citizens not only OF
Arvada but Of other parts Of
jefferson county, as some Of the
county officials were in attend
ance. All together there were
in the neighborhood Of thirty
who manifested great interest in
what was going on.
The meeting was called by the
chairman for the purpose Of
settling two or three questions
of utmost Importance to the
people Of this county and partic-
ularly those living in driving
distance from Arvada.
These questions were taken up
and disposed of in a business-like
manner. The opening up Of the
new Ridge road was the first to
claim attention and Commission
ers Gus johnson and James
Truelson were present as was
also General Overseer Frank
Morris. They displayed a plat
of the new road, work on which
has already begun. This plat
attracted much interest owing
to the fact that it is Of great
significance in the development
of a rich territory west and
north of Arvada and east and
north of Golden. The principal
interest before the meeting was
to effect a plan for making a
road paralelling the north side of
the Colorado & Southern Rail
road all the way up to and
through the old Stanley Ranch,
connecting there with what is
now a private road running north
and south.
The present outline Of the road
has two disagreeable angles in it,
one where it leaves the railroad
at H. J. Juchem's ranch and
follows the boundaries Of his
land at right angles and the
other where it reaches the east
line of the old Stanley Ranch
and turns due north, then west
along the. north line, connecting
with the private lane.
This course would make it
necessary for. the people using
, this lane to travel a mile or more
out Of their way in order to reach
the ridge road for Arvada, while
if the line was continued along
the railroad right of way they
would come directly into Arvrda.

GOOD ROADS SPIRIT TAKES HOLD
OF ARMADA COMMERCIAL CLUB

1t was the consensus of opin-
ion that strip Of land, wide
enough for the road, should be
negotiated for both from Mr..
Juchem and also from Mr.. Suter
who owns the Stanley ranch
now, and that the other land
which has already been decided
for the road should be abandon
ed.
The general opinion seemed to
prevail that the former might be
easily accomplished, but in re-
gard to Mr.. Juchem's place there
are some complications that seem
to stand in the way, VIZ, that
the outlet Of other property own
ers now using the road would be
through the triangle strip of land
still owned by Mr.. Juchem.
However, the difficulty will
most likely be happily adjusted,
as Mr.. Juchem says he is willing
to do the fair thing in the mat
ter and he believes that the road
should be changed as proposed.
There are other crossroads that
would have an outlet by the new
road and the advantage to the
farmers by being placed on the
rural free delivery route would
be considerable.
Messrs. Evans and Hurst were
chosen to act with the commits
sioners as representatives Of the
club to negotiate with Mr.. Suter
and Mr.. Williams who are inter
ested in the land transfer.
Messrs. Recht, Mailing, Vaille,
Morris, Barth and Nolan were
appointed to confer with Messrs.
Swadley, Juchem and Kim
braugh with reference to the
Strengthening Of ridge road at the
points where these gentlemen
own the land.
The WadsWo.t tn Avenue i'm
provement was thrashed out to
perfection. Mr.. Nolan ard Mr..
Watson reported progress in col
lections and that about $500 could
be forthcoming. Mr.. Morris was
put on the committee with them
to locate the gravel bed and es-
innate the cost Of crushing stone
ii need be, to make a good street.
A vote of.thankS was extended
to the commissioners, the attorn-
es, Mr.. Vaille, and General Ov-
erseer Frank Morris for their
presence and interest.
A committee was appointed to
arrange for a mass meeting to be
held Friday evening in Bank
hall. The committee Is Messrs.

old war songs such as 'Old Black
Joe, Just Before the Battle
Mother" " MY Maryland"
Battle Hymn of the Republic, h"
and Dixie Land" During these
songs some Of the old heroes
were either smiling or or .ua
and some Of them joined in The
choruses. 1t brought ba,
of the scenes experienced u.n

After the music, appropriate
remarks were made by the Rev.
G. M. Cooper, Commander II. A.
Garrison and j. +. White. All
the speakers tenderly mentioned
the loss of Commander Hunt and
his wife since the last meeting
in the fall and a feeling Of sad
ness was manifested, and it was
fully realized that the numbers
of the Post are rapidly diminish

with what might have proved a
most serious accident last Satur-

ashes from H. J. Juchem's ash
pit and as he was climbing onto
the wagon the horse became
frightened and started, throwing
him under the wheels, Both
wheels passed over his body and
at first he was thought to be
badly injured, but he improved
so rapidly that he was able to go
to school Monday morning.
