MONEY FOR ROADS.
Norway and Bossco Townships Vote
Big Appropriations.

AT the township meetings held
last Tuesday the proposition of
tpproprlating money to complete
the county road was brought up
IN Norway township and l'ossko
township. and The voters of those
townships showed their desire for
good roads by voting for the APP
preparation. NORWAY appropria-
ted $3.50 TO meet the county COM
mlssioners while B..ssko appropri-
ated $1,000. Both townships have
always been enthusiastic boosters
for good roads and the appropri-
;ttlon carried without dissenting
vote. In Minnesota township the
proposition failed to be introduced
;ni ot course was not voted upon
although we understand that the
major of the voters of that
township We're i'm favor of the
proposition and would have voted
for it, had anyone introduced it.
In Enterprise Township the
proposition was introduced and
discussed but nothing definite was
done.
AS the proposition stands, with
two townships willing to appropri-
ate and the othe. two doubtful,
it is an uncertainty if the County
will complete the road. The agree
ment was that the townships meet
them half way.
If the road is not completed. it
will be Il great loss to all the town
ships concerned and for this reason
the Claire City Auto Club, COM
prised of men who are desirous of
improving the roads in this vicinity
have taken it upon themselves to
make every effort possible to. get
the road completed and have called
a meeting for next Tuesday even
ing to talk over the proposition
and adopt a plan of action.
Every land owner in this vicin-
ity should be booster for this
road as it is our one opportunity
of getting good north and south
roada at a very reasonable cost. 1t
will he an advantage to everyone
and will advance the price of every
farm within three or four miles
from it as a good road to market
is one of the first things land seek
erS look for.
Stop to consider the matter. if
the road is not completed this year
it may be five or ten years before
we will be able to get the county
to stand half the expense of com
pleting it. You are compelled
every year to pay taxes into the
county road fund for the purpose
of building roads throughout the
county and here is am opportunity
of getting returns on that money
yon have been paying in for the
past eight or ten years. 1t is to
your advantage to he a booster for
this road. Claire City Press
