ONLY ONE WAY TO BUILD GOOD ROADS

once in awhile road is built by volunteer labor; in
the Oklahoma oil fields such highways were construct
ed since haste needed to haul machinery and pipe
The roads lasted number Of weeks but with the constant
traffic they need rebuilding often.
Farmers in Oklahoma have dragged of the roads
and they made usabe during short periods Of fair
weather until rain until dust blew. Temporary
roads needed and the farmers responded But the
time now is at hand when the farmer satisfied to
have road which subject to the whms of weather; he
wants road that he any day of the year.
In line with the demand for permanent highways the
local Automobile Dealers association has proposed that
election be called in this county the proposal
to issue bonds in the of 81 100000 for the purpose OF
building hard surfaced roads in this county
Other organizations have been requested to ndorse the
cali for election that the people of this county
decide il they wish spend their money build their
roads The Credit Mems association acted in accord
with the request of the dealers the Advertising club
instructed its secretary to communicate with the county
commissioners advising that the A club favos s election
YAcb promises to develop system of real highways.
The Chamber of Commerce has been asked to indorse
the movement, not the issuance Of the bonds but merely
