NEWS OF BESSEMER
PHONE MESSENGER sI2-J

Bessemer, February 22-(Special)-At a meeting of the Board of Trade Friday evening bylaws were submitted by the committee, appointed for the drafting of the laws to govern the reorganized body appointed as follows: Maj. T. T. Huey, J. E. Haffner, c. D. Woodrow, c. J. Lecky and w. A. Cochran
 The regular meeting time and place was decided upon, meetings to be held the first Friday evening in each month in the circuit courtroom in the Realty building. The next meeting will take place Friday. March 7 at wiiic! time committees will be named to correspond with each com nlttee Of the city council and to cooper ate with the committee in working for the welfare of the city.
 The membership committee, comrosed of F. R. Smith, Joe Weinstein and Howe Price, will continue their activities in securing new members. It is the policy of the Board of Trade at present to inn prove local institutions and civic condi- tions generally rather than to put on an extensive programme of attempting to locate industries in the district so among the first subjects to engage the attention of the association was an appeal from the librarian, Mrs. Kate Jones, for their Influence and assistance in bettering con- ditons at the library by aiding in a movement to secure more books. This was referred to the board of directors.
 letter from Dr. J. C. Curry, the for mer president of the Board of Trade, from Lakeland, Fla, where he is spending the winter, is congratulant of the increased interest being taken in the reorganized association. He states that 'he hopes that everybody will clear decks for ac- tion' and act. Get busy, keep busy and boost and keep boosting for our interest. ' According to the doctors idea, one of the paramount issues now is for paved streets for Bessemer and paved roads for the county. He had some interesting com ments to make in regard to the roads in the section where he is stopping as fol- lows:
 Since coming here and seeing what these people have accomplished in streets and roads, I am convinced that we are asleep at the switch and blind to our own interest. It is economy to build good roads and we are losing big money every day by the poor makeshifts we have in Jefferson county. I feel like offering the county commissioners of Jefferson county a free trip down here to wake them up They certainly could get food for thought
 "The last census showed this (Polk) county to have 5000 population They have issued 5000, ,000o0o in bonds and built 300 miles in brick and asphalt roads for the county. Jefferson county could more easily issue a0,0OO,OO0 than this county could two, for we have proportionatey more people and wealth. This little town of about 5000 peoplpe has 25 miles of beau tiful paved streets. Think of it. 25 miles. verify believe that the owners of the live and rolling stock could pay interest on the bonds to build good roads for Jeff ferson county and then save money on account of work that could be done and the saving in wear and tear"
