Minges Gets Road Job.
The County Commissioners
in session this week handed down
the road appointments in eleven
olt Of the seventeen districts.
Richard Minges was the lucky
one in Arvada district or district
No. II. Mr.. Minges has held
this position before and so far as
we have heard gave eminent
satisfaction. He has leased his
farm so that he can give the road
work his entire attention. The
position was given him in recog-
milton of services done the party
and also because his many friends
flooded the County Commission
ers with letters and petitions in
his behalf, not only among the
rank and file Of the Democratic
party, but several prominent Re-
publicans lent him their moral
support.
W. M. Ellis and VIM Benson
had also been prominently spok-
of for this position and the board
was hard put to decide between
the three either of whom were
believed to be men who would
give general satisfaction.

Town Election is
Almost at Hand

Last year, as will be remem-
bered, the spring election went
by default, owing to a misunder-
standing of the limitations fixed
by law, and when the mass meet
ing was called for the purpose of
nominating candidates it was
found to be too late and the old
board held over. We mean no
reflection upon the present board
when We say there was some dis
satisfaction over the fact that an
election was not held. The people
merely wanted to have a voice in
the matter and probably the old
board would all have been renom-
Iinated, as we believe they have
given general satisfaction.
Some feeling was engendered,
however, over the fact that mem.
berS Of the board were selling
merchandise and doing work for
the, town, which was believed to
be in violation of the statutes of
Colorado. Some were inclined to
want the law enforced to the let
ter while others insisted on leni-
ency.
However the members of the
board have not felt satisfied.
knowing that such a feeling did
exist and all those who have busi
ness interests which were jeopar.

Community Club
Has Good Meeting

HAS G000 Meetlng
Arvada Community club had a
splendid meeting Monday right.
The attendance was much better
than usual, several coming up
from Griffith. Those from our
beautiful little suburb attending
were Messsrs Royce. Griffith,
Musser, Chester M. Lawrent e
and Walter P. Smith.
There was a fine spirit thruout
the meeting and many important
matters were discussed and dis
posed of. The matter of dues
was disposed of and it was unani-
mously agreed that the dues be
made So per year payable in ad-
vance the first year and semian.
nually thereafter.
A special effort will be made to
get new members not only in the
town but in the surrounding COM
munity. The farmers are especi-
ally invited to join in the hope
that-something may be done to
bring the farmer and the busi-
ness men closer together.
~ committee on membership
was appointed consisting of DR..
Russell, A. L, Davis, H. ]. Juch-
EN- and R. L. Newton. Inasmuch
a the business men of the town
are more directly interested in
the many things beneficial to the
town it was suggested that IN
order to have sufficient funds the
committee would urge them to
take two or more memberships.
A. L. Davis, and A. J. Recht
reported a visit to the officials of
the C. & S. and also to MIR, Hid.
vice president and general mana.
ger of the tramway, in endeavor
to secure a new depot to be built
by the c. & S. and the Tramway
jointly. They received consider
able encouragement.
1t is believed that the c. 4 S.
intends to build a new depot of
some kind in the near future as
they have outgrown the old one
and it will also devolve upon the
Tramway to do likewise. 1t was
pointed out to the heads of the
two companies that they could
combine the two in one and make
it much more convenient to the
general public and at the same
time save expense to themselves.
Mr.. kennick and Mr.. Kohler
of the C. &S. and Mr. Hid. vice
president and general manager
of the Denver Tramway. seem.
ed somewhat impressed with the
idea and it is hoped that good re.
suits will follow. Let everyone
keep boosting
The matter of a Carnegia libra.
ry was discussed at some length,
Ofcourse it would be folly to say
this proposition meets with no
opposition. but it was pointed out
that the librabry building would
be for the benefit of the entire
school district. 1t would have
an auditorium adequate to serve
the community as a public meet
ing place.
Mr.. Maloney suggested that
the time is near at hand when a
moving picture show would be a
desirable acquisition to our town
and that the auditorium of the
library could be used for this
purpose and possibly be made tc
pay the running expenses of tht
library, which would be abou,
81. 600 per year. Globeville. Lit
tleton and other towns no larger
than Arvada have Carnegia libra
ries and Mr.. Maloney believes
Arvsda should keep the pace.
Mr.. Recht reported that tn.
banquet had paid its own expen
ses less 81. 90, which was thot t
be a very creditable showing 70
