APPROVED IN
C0lfAx COUNTY

santa Fe, y. NJ, Jan. lo.-The
beautiful road signs placed through
New Mexico by the Automobile Club
of Southern California, the finest
and most permanent signs ever erect
ed along the transcontinental high
way. do not make any kind of hit
in ColfaX county. The county road

ing placed where said signs would

1t is hereby ordered by the Board

Commissioners, and said signs hav-
ing been put up without any under
standing whatsoever, either written
or spoken. that this board is not obli-
gated to said club financially or
otherwise for the placing or furnish
ing of these signs.
Therefore be it resolved. that the

session on above date, January >.
1915, does not recognize the exist
cnce of these signs as having been

STATE BOWLING TOURNAMENT
TO BE BIG EVENT

Denver, Colo, Jan. 5.-Prepara-
tiOns for the state bowling tourna-
ment this year indicate that the an
Already indications show that more
teams will enter and that competi-
tion will be kcener.
A few years ago bowling was re-
vived and at that time was termed
"a fad. However, the ancient Dutch
game, aided by continuous maple al
leys and rubber balls, increased in
popularity until today it is recog-
nized as one of the Writer'S best
competitive sports.
Manager Harry Gossett OF the
Denver Bowling alleys, which will
stage the state tourney. predicts that
a bigger list will enter than last
year. In Denver. the largest city in
the state, more leagues are rolling
each week and the game is on the
boom.
The state event will be rolled the
week of Feb. - and will finish with
Il l2-hour endurance contest. An
event of this kind was rolled in
Denver few weeks ago and BliXt,
a rank outsider. came through with
an average of 1SI, which he compiled
in 2G games.
In a few days Gossett will begin a
tour OF the state for the purpose of
interesting bowlers in the common
wealth event. 1t is not staged for
profit but to bring bowlers together
for the purpose Of stimulating COM
petition.

ANNUAL GOOD ROADS
CONVENTION JAN. 20

Denver. January 1.-THE Fifth An
nual Convention OF the Colorado
Good Roads Association which con-
venes in the Albany hotel, Denver
on Wednesday,. January 20, promises
to be as interesting a good roads
gathering as has ever been held in
this state. This is due not only to
the fact taat many sections of Colo
rado will be on hand in order to pre-
sent their needs for state aid for good
road construction, but also because of
the amendments which will be dis
cussed for highway legislation.
Chief of the measures to be con-
sidered is one which will give to the
State highway commission authority
to keep in repair and maintenance
at the expenses of the state, any
primary state roads. The measure
now under consideration provides
that when q state primary road is
completed the state shall assume
complete control of the upkecp of the
road. The cost of the upkecp shall be
borne by the state. and the amount
of money to be SO expended shall not
in any one year exceed % per cent of
the state road fund.
Those proposing this amendment
claim that the most important thing
to be considered in good road work
is the care and upkcep of the road
after it is once built. This should be
done, they claim. under uniform
system. and hence it is argued that
The best manner to accomplish this
is by placing the entire charge OF
such under one head.
Another thing which is to come
before the convention and which
must be considered by the good roads
people of the state IS the question
of federal aid for good roads. This
question has long been agitated in
Colorado, and the time is now be-
'ieved to be ripe to press this matter
to point where more aid will be
extended to this and other western
states in road building than has
been done in the past

Roads Meeting.
Another meeting called for the
same time as the convention of the
Colorado Good Roads Association is
that of the State Association of COM
mercial Secretaries and the State

mcrcial Secretaries will meet at noon
on the 21st. and in the afternoon the
