fore. be il
RsoLvEp. A., by this mass meet
ing Of citizens, taxpayers, and good
roads adyocAtesS Of the western por-
ton Of Powell ysn,nty, that we most
ll,eartily APPROVE Of the Fiscal Courts
action in this ~ stter and every other
me- - a''F s.asrt ofseur
roads.
RESOLVED, End, that it is evident
that Powell county, itilin itseis, is
unable to do Juei,.sss.,,g the roads
needing improvement in this end of
the county we therefore urge the form
alton of an association by the name OF
West Emo I.,od ROADS Association, or
some other suitable name, which Asso-
citation may bt- lneo. or The
business Of tbs association shall be to
systematically solicit the building of
roads tn, portion of the county,
and to promote aud protect the roads
interests in any other way to the best
advantage according to the judgement
of these persons placed in control of
the affairs Of the Associations.
RESOLVED. 3nd, that upon the ad-
vice of Road Commissioner that our
roads be gaded this fall, and that all
culverts be placed aud the roads thor
oushly dragged toayoid the expense
of being rolled and at the same time
conserving all the cash possible that
this may be reserved to the largest ex-
tent for the application of metal, be-
ginning next spring, we direct our ac-
tons along this line in full accord with
the Road Commissioner.
RESOLVED, 4th. that the roads for
Improvement shall be locally designa-
ted as Clay City to Stanton road, 4
miles; Clay City to Winchester road
miles Clay City TO Mt. Sterling road /,
8 miles; Clay City to Irvine road, 8
miles; Clay City to Hardwicks Greek
road, miles. The first four roads are
roads upon which the county asked for
State aid, which has been accepted,
the last named road being the most
travelled in the county, we feel that 1t
is entitled 10 an equal share Of the
1000 set apart for this end of the
county, and it is the sense of this meet
ing that they be let in on equal terms.
RESOLVED, 9th, that this meeting
heartily approves Of the good work be-
ing done by our efficient Roads De-
partment at Frankfort and especially
for the kind consideration and great
interest shown Ia our Powell county
roads.
RESOLVED, 9th. that these resola-
tions be presented by committee APP
pointed by the Chairman Of this meet
| ing, which shail bear them to the
Court 10 open session at an adjourned
