ing at Tyndall Tuesday afternoon.
The meeting was held in the rest
room in the Security block we're a
general discussion of good roads
was in order, but as nothing tan
gible can be done without the as
sistance of the county commission
ors, it was decided to meet with
the commissioners at the Court
House. The matter of dragging
graded roads was allotted to each
commissioners district where the
members of the Good Roads Asso-
citation would look after the per-
Torrance themselves and appoint
a committee to OK. bills for
dragging which would be honored
by the Commissioners. The ques-
ton was raised whether 2Hc per
mile one way was was sufficient
pay for dragging roads. After
discussing this it was by vote de-
cided that it was not enough and
that no man could afford to do
this work for that price and do a
good job. The commissioners
were chen asked if they would pay
a rate of 35c per mile one way,
which was refused. the contention
on the part of the Commissioners
being that, while some kicks were
registered on the price, generally
the draggers seemed to be satisfied
and the board expressed itself to
the effect that the old price will be
in force this year but may be rails
ed next year if it is found feasible
and necessary. A branch of the
Good Roads Association for Bon
Homme county should immediate
ly be organized in Tabor and a
meeting held soon where the COM
mittee to look after road dragging
could be officially put in existence,
SO that our roads are kept in good
shape. Unless we do this we can
not expect things to take care of
themselves.
