was supplied By the 1917 legislature.
He said that the 70 per cent of the
money collected for auto licenses re-
turns to the county from which it is
collected. The state has been divid-
ed into ten districts, with J. B. Cling
man stationed at Ashville, represent
ing this district. Each district super
visor has patrolmen or overseers and
a perfect organization has been form
ed whereby the individual responsible
for a certain piece of road will be
known by the fact that his name
will be posted on the highway. The
work of the highway association will
not be local in character. Township
and county lines will be ignored in the
program for through highways be-
tween important points. He predict
e dthat the day would come when mil
itary highways would be a necessity
for this country, hence the policy of a
highway system. He said that the
government credited this county with
600 miles OF road with II per cent i'm
proved with top soil. He recon-
mended the employment of a whole
time engineer for Henderson county
and a classification of the roads and a
census traffic taker to determine the
amount of travel on the different
roads, construction and maintenance
to be done on the roads accordingly.
He laid emphasis upon the Importance
of road maintenance and said it was
being neglected throughout the state
He said that a committee should in
vestigate the financial end of the road
| work and ascertain exactly the income
and then spend it Systematically and
judiciously. He declared that $25 ,OOO
was a pitable amount for road
work for a year in this county. He
also advocated the pubIishinp of de-
tailed reports in the newspapers of
road expenditures.

Clingman, yho made no address but

expressed his willingness to cooper
ate with the county in road work when
possible.
N. Buckner, secretary of the Ashe-
vile Board of Trade, was introduced.
He opened his speech in a remi-
niscent vein, touching upon the days
when he was in school at Judson col
lege and pictured the condition pre-
vailing here at that time, declaring
that the development had been re-
markable. Mr.. Buckner gave some
excellent ideas in board of trade work,
organization, education of the dead
ones as to its benefits, etc. The city,
he said, could not become greater than
it's individuals, individually or collec-
lively, and that cooperation should
be the keynote of community under
takings. He congratulated the Board
of Trade and said that the number
present spoke we'll for it's healthfuI-
ness.
AS to community advertising, he said
that for eight years Ashevile had spent
81 5000 and that it was a splendid in
vestment; that the city was now eX-
ecuting a contract for advertising in
the amount of several thousand dol

said that as a result of the adver-
Using last year he received $50 in
quiries in a period of two weeks. The
city sends out 10000 booklets an
nually. He said that an income in
the way of industrial enterprises, etc.,
to the amount of three million dollars
was directly traceable to Board Of
Trade work. Touching upon the
broader Western Carolina spirit in
contrast with local petty ~jealousies.
Mr.. Buckner said what hurt or helped
Asheville hurt OF helped Henderson
vile and that in this resort section no
community could live wholly apart
from another and that there should be
the broad spirit of cooperative help
fulness. Mr.. Buckner said that in
view Of the universal use of automo-
biles and the curtailment of train SER
vice, too much emphasis could not be
laid upon the improvement of the
public roads. He advised getting be-
hind the Dixie Highway so as to have
it pass through Ashev:lle, Henderson
vile and Greenville to Augusta rather
than pass through Chattanooga.
Mr.. Buckner urged the Importance
Of greater agricultural activities and
conservation in keeping with the gov
ernments ideas and loyalty to the flag,
one of which he unfurIed, at the sight
OF which those present, rose to their
feet.
Mr.. Buckner promised cooperation
in any way possible with the Board of
Trade work.
: There had been no wind-jamming
speeches, so typical of such occasions
and many of the typical speeches were
conspicuous by their absence and since
the hour was growing late, it being af-
ter IL o'clock, the meeting adjourned.
