The Commercial club held it's reg
ular monthly meeting in the club
rooms Wednesday. There was not a
very large attendance at the meeting
which is usually the case at this sea-
son of the year when so many people
are busy, however, the club took up
one matter of vital interest, to our
notion, and that was the matter of
having the road fixed up on top of the
hill on the Red Trail going to Oriska
on the south side. The road has been
built up until a great big "drop-off'
has been left on the turn that is de-
cidedly dangerous and needs fixing.
The club is going to take the matter
up with the city council and the coun-
ty commissioners with a view to get
ting it fixed. If it is not fixed there
is liable to be some bad accident hap
pen on that turn. Anyone coming
down that hill on the turn on dark
night, no matter how expert a driver
he is, or how we'll he knows that road,
is yerv liable to lump off that grade
