Enthusiasm reigred supreme at the
meeting of good readers at the city
hall last night when the Grady County
Highway association met to discuss
the line Of action TO be followed to-
morrow in the construction and inn
provement of the road leading from
Chickasha to Ninnekah. The most en-
couraging reports had been received
from Ninnekah where great activity
prevails and the organization of towns
people and farmers is complete and
ready for a day Of effective service.
The tenor of last nights meeting indi
Gated that in this respect Chickasha
did not propose to play second fiddle
and a resolve was taken to make this
venture a great success in road build
ing.
An encouraging feature developed in
the course Of the discussion when re-
ports by experts showed that the work
in hand did not involve either as diff
ficult an engineering proposition nor
was the labor as arduous as was the
case on the Chickasha-Cement road.
The same number Of men and teams
would accomplish infinitely greater ap-
parent results.
Tho ana ,ararsino aood which hos
not yet been provided for is at least
sixteen automobiles to be on hand for
service at q o'clock sharp at the city
hall tomorrow morning to transport
the readers to their respective sta
tions. II
All men who have volunteered their
services are urged to report at the
city hall promptly at that hour when
they will be assigned their places un-
der the following mile captains, who
were appointed last night: First mile
Ben Johnson; second mile J. =.
Schow; third mile William lnman;
fourth mile, William H. Donahue; fifth
mile J. D. Buie; sixth mile, John Gri-
bi; seventh mile Roy Smith.
Ninnekah will appoint man to
work with each Of the Chickasha cap
tains on each mile Of the road.
An abundance OF spades, shovels,
picks and other implements have been
provided for operation tomorrow.
The meeting last night was filled
with interest.
The first matter discussed was the
necessity for having the proposed
Ozark Trail route in good shape by
June ], all present realizing that some
definite plan must be adopted to inn
mediately provide for the necessary
concrete culverts on the proposed
routes out OF Chickasha and also to
arrange for funds for the construction
Of the roads.
e. G. Burton, president of the associ-
alton, precipitated the discussion OF
the advisability Of asking the county
commissioners to arrange with banks |
to advance the quota of the road and
bridge funds which would be available
on July / in order that such funds at
an early date might be at the disposal
of the proper authorities for use in
the immediate construction of necessa-
ry culverts and such part Of road con-
struction as embraced Grady county's |
plans to capture the Ozark Trail. This
does not imply that any more money
would be spent in any special district
sthan would ordinarily be the case but
that this money should become availa-
