Good Roads Day In Chester.

Chester.-The greatest single day
probably In Chester's long history sue
cessfully terminated last week. It
was good roads day, which the Ches
ter chamber Of commerce had been
busily engaged in boosting for the past
month. The entire county worked in
unison. For the past few weeks each
township had been organized so that
on the appointed day the work should
go forward without any delay.
Reports coming In to the chamber
OF commerce indicated that 5000 men
and 500 teams worked tho roads. The
city OF Chester loaned many teams.
Practically every business and profes.
sional man in Chester who was unable
to use pick Or shovel contributed a
dollar. Needless to state this sum
grew to rather large proportions and
1t was used to hire teams etc.
In number OF places stretches OF
new road were built and hundreds Of
holes in the roads we're covered.
