were completed and then take up ad-
ditional roads after these were COM
pleted.
1t was decided to ask our county
commissioners to use part of the
money from the bond issue to build a
/ good road to the county line between
Ada and Gem counties as this is going
to be one of the most important roads
| leading into Boise and forms an i'm
portant link in the road to Payette
! lakes via Emmett. The following COM
mittee was appointed to handle this.
Harry Friedman, chairman; Harry
Shellworth, W. Sweet A. r. Foltz, Paul
| Pizey. The Smith prairie road Is also
going to have some attention and the
| following committee was appointed by
chairman McGirr to push thissroad to
completion: Floyd White, chairman;
A. f. Graves, ]. P. Congdon and c. r.
| Shaw. The idea of the committee. is
to work in conjunction with the Smith
Prairie committee to try to get a road
by Neal, making it possible for the
farmers from that part of Boise terri
tory to trade here, the building of the
Arrowrock dam having ruined the road
| formerly used by them and it is the
wish Of this committee to keep in
touch with people outside of Boise with
a view of getting their suggestions
and enlisting their cooperation in or
der that we may do the most good
for the greatest number of people

ment to this committee
| When the automobile committee
went around no building could be found
! that was large enough for its show.
| The Poultry show is now confronted
| With the same proposition. If Boise is
going to have that big dairy show,
where is it going to be housed? How
about an auditorium? Better wake up,
Mr. Dis Interested Citizen! The rea-
son you tell your friends what they
are doing in other towns is because
they are working together. Better look
around and see why Boise isn't NOV
ing as fast as you think it should Boise
needs a building of this kind and 1t
can be secured if just 90 men will say it
will be built. What's your answer?
Plans are now being laid to organ

viii be made by prominent men on
