Road Campaign
In Other Towns

In Other Towns
Business Men in Other Towns
Take Active Interest in Good
Roads Leading Into Town
This county was known for its
good roads a few years ago when
the government road to the
reservation was in good order.
Now this road has been plowed
over, fenced in and even dug up
and a person taking a drive in
the country has a perilous ride.
There is good road for a short
distance and then you run up
against a fence. There is a light
trail around the fence and after
a while you again hit the old
road only to enjoy it a short
distance when there is a field to
cross and so it goes all over the
county. Many Of the roads
were legal before these farmers
ever came to this country but
still they get a petition, everyone
signs ito make a good fellow
Of himself-and the road is gone.
This is not being done in other
counties. At Lidgerwood the Auto,
mobile Association put up guide
posts and dragged the roads. The
town Of Wyndmere is thinking
Of doing the same thing. At
Ryder the leading business men
are taking up a subscription and
they expect to spend over $11OO
improving the road that leads to
that town. This road is appreciat-
ed by the farmers and they do
their shopping in the town where
the good roads lead to.
At New Rockford every busi-
ness place in the city. was closed
last Thursday and the employer
and employee all went out to
assist in making good roads.
Each squad Of men and teams
was assigned a certain portion Of
the road. Over two hundred busi-
ness, professional and laboring
men signed up for work on the
day appointed and as a result
there are now some good roads
around New Rockford.
The Jamestown Alert has the
following to say about "good
roads,"
A good deal of discussion oc-
cured during the last session OF
the legislature over s'good roads.
The papers, magazines, farmers
meetings and professional experts
have also discussed the question
of making good roads in North
Dakota. Congress has taken a
turn at it, the state has pondered'
over it, the governor has talked
about it and recommended a prac-
tical and comprehensive plan;
and yet little or nothing has been
done about it. The matter OF
road work on our country roads
is being done in the old way,
left to the rural communities to
"work the roads in an expen-
sive, unscientific fashion after
seeding and before haying; and
then the roads are left to be
worn down or worn out by the
travelling public. There is only
one way to do road work right,
and that. is to change the system
now employed radically, and use
the road money in road con-
struction and maintenance in a
proper and workmanlike manner.
Under the present system the
money collected for road taxes
in the fall looks like thirty
cents when it is expended in
road work the following spring.
The automobile license fund is
sufficient in numerous counties
in the state, if it was properly
expended, to at least keep in
repair many parts Of the road
which makes. a long stretch Of
the public highway practically
impossible. But the legislature

QUESTION OF ELIMINATION NOW
BEFORE LOWER BRANCH
OF COUNCIL.

While ii Is said several members of
| council are anxious to have "a meet
ing of that body some time this week.
/ President Peters has not signified his
| intention of calling such meeting.
The reason advanced for calling a
meeting is TO pass upon the amend
ment 10 the ordinance accepting the
offer Of the Medical college trustees
of the Virginia hospital as city nos
pital. This amendment lis one pro-
hibitiug any physicians save those
named by the college board, praCticing
at the proposed new City hospital
When the ordinance was adopted
by council il bore n section giving
any physician the right to attend pa
tients at the hospital. The board Of
aldermen at its last meeting struck
this section out, and left the entire
matter i'm the hands of the Medical
college staff.
II was contended in council that IA
patient who might be so unfortunate
as to be taken there should have
the services Of his family physician.
an amendment to the original re-
port. introduced by Mr.. Umlauf. was
adopted. The board struck this out.
Some members of council see no
reason for special meeting Of the
common council, for this particular
purpose. as 1t will be some time be-
fore the hospital has actually been
transferred. and the question may be
disposed of at the next regular meet
ing Just as readily.

ORDINANCE MAY NOT

CHARTER CHANGES ORDINANCE
MAY DIE UNNATURAL DEATH
AT HANDS OF ALDERMEN.

1.-The administrative board does not
ask council to have the charter
amended especially to give that body
the right to control the police, fire and
health departments" said Presiden nj
Whittet. of that board, last night.
What we would like council to do
Is to have the charter amended so
the board may have the right to fix
grades and hear allegations for paw
ing and street work. SO this work may
be carried on without loss of time, or
delays which, naturally, arise through
committee deliberations. especially
when committees meet about twice a
month. while the board Is in session
daily.
I'VE nave not asked for the right
to taka up the work of the other
boards. although think, personally.
that eventually the boards should all
be undes' one working and directing
head.
II the board OF aldermen at the
meeting tonight determine TO bring
up the charter changes proposition
under reconsideration, this question
win be Sisctissed At the last meet
