The commission of five appointed
 by County Judge Mooney to super !,vise the work of the Little Rock highway at the recommendation of
 the Young Mems Chamber of Com merce, held a meeting yesterday morning and effected a permanent organization. Chairman Birkett Will
 liams called the meeting to order
 and Commissioners w. w. Waters
 Jesse Murphy, Robert A. Jones and F. IL. Howlett were all present, as was County Judge Robert H. Mooney and City Engineer Cleveland Smith.
 In the organization. of the commis- sion Birkett Williams was elected chairman and treasurer, and Jesse B. Murphy was elected secretary.
 County Judge Mooney agreed with the commissioners that the money for this highway could be secured better, and the work carried on with more certainty of immediate results, through the issuance of the county warrants in return for road subscrip- ,tions on basis of the warrants being redeemable in taxes in one, two and three years. This will pre- vent the issuance of the scrip inter- feIing with other road work at the present anticipated, and will guaran- tee the public that the work will be carried on at once on this road.
 This point was developed fully, that it mieht prove of advantage to the committee, which next week will so after the subscriptions.
 The road scrip so issued, being good for all county taxes up to one fourth of the entire tax you will have to pay, makes it easy for the donor to estimate his annual tax, then null tiply that sum by three and sign with the committee for that sum- Minus the scrip you can use for the coming three years in paying taxes is subscribed for in this road sub scription, you get the scrip, and you are out nothing but the use of the money in the meanwhile, and you are receiving more direct benefits than the interest on a little money, in q highway that is bound 10 bring gen eral benefits to all.
 The committee named to assist tue commissioners in the raising of the additional sum necessary to this highway work was named in the lol- lowing: Will Ellis, $. E. Little. Harry A. Jones. John G. Higgins. John A. Riggs, Tom Petit Al Key lolds, Frank P. Walker and T, II. Jackson. Others will be added to this committee.
 It is the purpose of the commits soners to have the full of the cont mittee get together some day in cars and make a complate circuit of the city. Then also it is the purpose of the commissioners to have subscrip tions left at each bank counter in lhe city for signatures there.
 The commissioners will leave the city at 6:30 o'clock this morning, after assembling at the Business Mems League building, to make a trip together over the new proposed highway between "Ten-Mile Hill' and the Harvey place. The commissions CTS desire that all interested in thls road work accompany them. The road as selected is to he compared with the blue prints, and City En- gineer Cleveland Smith will accom- pany the party, as will County Judge Mooney. and where savings from the general estimate can be made here and there, they will be taken up. The commissioners expect to be hack in the city by noon.
