UNION DISTRICT
VOTERS TO MEET
Will Discuss Good Roads
Proposition and Bond
Issue.

At a public meeting to be held this
evening in the East Park school house
the citizens Of Union district Will dis
cuss the good roads proposition. Last
night IL was stated that there was
more or less interest in the question
on the east side OF the river and that
the taxpayers OF Union district want
ed to be the first to take steps in this
modern and important direction. Just
what will be done at the meeting was
not stated last night, but there are in
dications OF a large turnout at the ses-
sion.
For many weeks sentiment in favor
.or undermining the highways OF the
east side has been crystalizlng and the
first result OF this will be the meeting
this evening. Prominent residents OF
that section have often expressed
themselves in favoT of spending money
for good roads through the district and
this idea seems to be prevalent, lot
the district has as many people VINO
come TO Fairmont by pike each day IN
the wear as any in the county.
IL seems to be the opinion on the
east side that should Union district
take definite action and agree TO vote
on bonds for road improvement, that
Winfield, the sister district on that
side Of the river. would follow suit
Immediately. Both districts are well
off financially, and none are in better
shape to improve their highways.
Citizens from the east side said yes
!terdav that it would be no surprise II
the taxpayers at the meeting tonight
would go on record as favorinS per
manent road improvements over there.
