| their interest in the important subjects
| considered by sending three men. The
maintenance of roads was the most i'm
portant subject touched upon by Mr..
Bates. He pointed out that it was more
vital to keep up the highways than to
construct new ones and that this year
with the war conditions and the high co.,

cessful was also taker up for discussion.
