The GOOD ROADS MEETING

Buchanan.--Iwant TO keep the road
question before the people. / hope
there will be large attendance at the
Good Roads meeting at Louisa April
3rd. If my plan of forming the county
and voters precincts into road associa-
tions should meet the approval of the
people it would require very little time
to organize it might be done in the fol-
lowing order:
First election of temporary chair
man and secretary.
Second election of a county president.
Third, nomination of a county Sec
retary, who may act as treasurer.
Fourth: A man from each voting
precinct who will act as solicitor, sec,
retary and treasurer.
Fifth A man for each voting pre-
cinct who will act as road foreman.
The election of these officers should
be made with care. The object should
be to get men who are competent and
willing to sacrifice their time to help
benifit our public roads. A vigorous
and self sacrificing, competent man,
with plenty of road sense in needed for
county president, one who will take
interest in the work. and see that all
vacancies among the precinct officers
are filled, and the work carried on in
the best possible manner
