APPROACHING CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE MEETING
IS AROUSING INTEREST

A great deal of interest is being taken
in the meeting of the Chamber OF Com
merce which is to be held at o'clock
Wednesday evening in the city council
rooms in City hall to discuss the ques-
ton of good roads leading into the city.
Every merchant in the city knows that
this is thing of vital interest to him
personally as the majority of the people
who now travel do SO in automobiles and
they are naturally going where they can
find the best roads, as one, two or half
dozen miles amount to little if the
roads are good. Everyone feels that
something should be done. A prominent
man of the city in speaking of the mat
ter Tuesday morning said: There are
no good roads in Maine. They bonded
the State for 100000 but it is impossible
to tell where it has gone" This Is a
natural thing for the people of Water
VILE to think as there has been none of
ing trips are made about the State the
people of Waterville would never real
lie that any of the money had been used
to do anything. A number of ideas will
doubtless be aired out Wednesday eve.
ming, the principal thing being perhaps
to work out some plan whereby the
neighboring towns can be induced to CO.
operate with the merchants in this city In
putting their roads in good condition SO
tnat people can come here. From the
beigrades, for instance, to the Water
vile line the road is fine: from there II
Is bad. How to get Oakland and Bel
grade to do something towards putting
the roads In their town in good condition
so that the people from the Relgrades
can come to Oakland Watervil+e to do
their trading. 1t is a case where every.
one should get together and air his views
and do his share in making conditions SO
that the people who live in the surround.
ing towns will not only come here to dc
their trading but so that they will find
the roads in such good condition that
they will bring their produce here to sell
for Waterville needs that as much as
it needs the buying. This is A. real on
portunity not only to do something for
the city but for each individual mer-
chant to do something for himself The
time of the meeting is 8 O'Clock and ex-
President Patterson is looking for large
number to be in attendance Everyone
whether a members Of the chamber or
not. who IS interested in this movement
IS invited to be present

Young men who are to vote for the
first time and all who have moved in
to the county since the last general
election are among those who, if they
have not already registered. must do
so IN order to vote in the November
elootion.
It will not serve to say that YOU
registered for the urinary. The pri-
mary is a party affair-for the nomi-
ration of party candidates. But the
November election REQUIRES an entire
w different registration. All nar-
ties are represented on the ticket to
be voted. If YOU have not ALREADY
registered for the general election in
November, YOU must do so on or be-
fore Saturday. Registration officer
Peterman will be in his office at the
court house all day today and Satur-
day.

not attempt to say, but if the alder
man from the Third has been as lib

his other fgures-well, he's still a
peach.
Seriously, The Palatka News does
not invite a controversy with Mr.. Nc
Nally or any one else who seeks to
discredit the Palatka water plant. But
if that controversy must come, be it
understood that this paper will not
shirk its duty to the public.
For all this paper cares the city of
Palatka may buy the pile of junk
known as the old water works with
its proven output of unwholesome,
contaminated water which has been
condemned by the State Board of
Health after analysis; it may buy Mr..
G. Loper Bailey's water supply in the
country, not only unopposed but pos
siblv commended by US, but in the
purchase of either this paper is not
going to sit idly by and see the city
Nlant that the people have authorized
and which is now rated as one of the
city's assets, worth $4,000, destroy
ed in the process.
The Palatka News owes a duty to
the city of Palatka and one which it
will not shirk in the performance.
And it does not need aldermanic rec
ognition in order to prove its loyalty
to the people who support it and who
have upheld it in more than one Win
ming fight for the city's betterment.
