WILL TAKE UP THE
PROPOSITION GOOD
ROAD ENTHUSIASTS
MEETING OF EsCAMBIA COUNTY
GOOD ROADS CLUB WILL
TAKE PLACE FRIDAY AFTER
NOON TO ACT UPON QUESTION

In the columns of The Journal ga
few days ago appeared a communi-
cation from Messrs. Hecker and Hin
man of Century, in which was con-
tanned a proposition to furnish a, car
or cars for anyone interested and who
cared to go into the country to look
into the conditions of needed roads.
and cooperation of the Century men
was offered to get the needed work
done. on certain heavily-travelled
roadways, which were now in a bad
state of repair.
This communication was officially
called to the attention of the officers
of the Escambia County Good Roads
Club, and that organization, at the
urgent request of President Hancock,
win hold meeting at o'clock, on
Friday afternoon of this week, the
gathering to take place at the city
hall, and it is urged that all who
can be present.
Good roads are needed by all who
traverse the county in all directions,
and the Century men, who are inter
ested in large holdings at that point,
are anxious to cooperate to the ex-
tent of their time and use of their
cars, in order to have the organiza-
ton learn at first hand of the need of
road work. They will probably both
be in the city and attend the meeting,
or at least it is proposed to have them
here.
Following the meeting and the ex-
pected road inspection trip, some
plan may be adopted to bring pres
sure to bear upon the board of county
looking to the needed
work. Every assistance will be of
fered the county officials, and diff
ferent system of working the roads
than is now in effect, it is said, will
be suggested.
