think the movement is a very COM
mendable one and we should help
along this agitation. Cooperation and
organization must result in some good.
The present agitation for a back road

Is good thing and we need it in the

Mr.. Myers also spoke on the motion
and asked for it's passage, saying: "It
is creditable for Camp Hill to start
the movement for an organization and
nothing but good can result. This
committee can meet with similar COM

would have to represent them"
The proposed road between Camp

and the councilmen for n time dis
Cussed the plans which Warren II.
Manning. the Boston landscape de-
signer. has mapped out for the de-
velopment of the territory between the
two towns and also the opening of the
proposed road.
