lures already made. After all parties
had been heard and all matters per

cussed mmissioner KluEe stated
that while no formal action had been
taken bv the board ns to the arrange
ment, yet the board had Informally
considered the ndvisability of the ap-
portionmcnt Of four or five thousand
for use as seemed to them most ad-
visahlo in the several commissioners
districts; and that in this event the
amount so placed at his disposal would
I be expended on the state primary road
between Palisade and the mouth Of
Plateau creek; and that Mr.. Briggs hga
toned to him would be spent on
section of the state road extending
| from tho head OF Plateau canon to the
| Bonita valley; while Commissioner
Snyder might possibly use some Of his
apportionment in reducing the Fifth
street hill. which is also on the state
primary road, or on other important
i'm improvements most needed. and in
short, that the several members Of the
board are agreed that these rRrticultr

gave estimates of the labor required.

! In the matter of Increasing the Ok
/ pensc account for the county agricul-
| turists office. the board insisted that
no further appropriations could 5be
made at this time and fully discussed
and further stated that they had un-
] deratood from Mr.. ID. w. Frenr, state
leader, that he had no reason to dop

the understanding with him, was that
should come from subscriptions to the
] fund by commercial organizations, far
mcrs' clubs. etc. until such time as a
sufficient fund might be provided by
other levies
And also that Mr. Frear himself did
not urge the purchase Of automobiles
by the counties Interested for the use
merely the allowance OF a sufficient
expense fund for the upkeep OF ma
| chimes to be provided by the agricul-
turlsts themselves. Thereupon, MIR.
Silcox stated that the Grand Junction
! Fruit Growers Association, which he
represented had offered to contribute
$40 month to such fund this season.
1t was then suggested to the com
mittees that this amount, in addition
to the $40 month now paid by the
county, would be very nearly suffi-
cient for such expenditures at present,
and that the board felt that the agri-
culturist in the interest of his work
| should make every effort to make this
] cover such expense until such time as
1 federal assistance can be had.

dents in that vicinity stated that hs

natures of majority of the residents
and Interested parties to the agreement

board for the installation of the pro-
posed ferrv and that II is almost the
unanimous opinion Of these people tina
such n crossing would not meet the re-
quircments of the traffic in that vi
ciuity. and further that the parties in
tcrested believe that IL would be ad-
visuhle to defer any construction unit
