the Importance of harmonious n

A resolution was passed
ng the president of the association
O appoint a committee to prepare
nd present to the legislature at It's
1ext session such data as the legis-
alive body will most require In
meeting these and other conditions
affecting the subject of road build
ng. This was in line with Presi-
dent Patrick's suggestion OF the
need of legislative action to insure
more scientific economical and
uniform methods in road construc-
ion, his argument being that such
results must necessarily be preceded
by legislative action.
The president asked for time in
which to carry out the Instructions
of the resolution in the naming of
the committee. Another duty of h
committee will be to enlist the CO.
peration of automobile clubs not
lready affiliated.
From this section C. E. Redman
nd C. G. Patrick of the Goldfield
Tub were reelected as directors.
while S. r. Moore and E. w. Evans
were chosen for Tonopah and w. w.
Watterson and w. G.. Scott for
ishop, California, which is affili-
ted with the Nevada association.
The former officers of the asso-
citation were unanimously reelected
as follows: c. G.. Patrick of Gold
field, president; G. S. Hoag of Ely,
secretary; S. r. Moore of TonopaRA
treasurer.
Those in attendance from Gold
fold were c. G. Patrick, c. f.
Redman, Munro S.. Brown. V. L..
Ricketts,, F. S. Hunt, Bud Lefebvre.
Mrs. c. G. Patrick. Mrs. c. e
Redman and Mrs. Redman's sis
ter. Mrs. Anderson, were also a
part of the Goldfeld delegation.
The meeting was held on the
occasion of the visit of the Tono-
pah Elks to their brother E,ks
resident in Ely. There were about
100 from Tonopah, travelling in
about 25 cars, and the occasion
was one that will not soon be for
gotten by anyone in attendance.
The copper camp was in holiday
attire and continuous entertain
ment was provided from the mo-
ment of the first arrival until. the
last visitor departed for homa.
There were probably 400 in at
tendance at the smoker on Sun
day evening, and the ball on
Monday night was a brilliant ST
fair, which taxed the capacity OF
the immense hall in which it was
held. Ely has no lodge of Elks
but many there are members Of
the order, and the visit Of the
Tonopah brethren and their IN
tertainment vas such a mutual
compliment as is seldom witnessed
in fraternal circles.
