Club Takes Action.
Mass Meetings to be Held; Series Of
Meetings In County for Com.
munitV Benefit.

The start Of which is to the
countrywide campaign for a good
roads program for Grant county
was made last Monday evening by
the new club at its second meeting.
The need Of the good roads is
evident, and every one who travels
over the roads in Grant county and
other counties knows the value Of
the good roads and is a booster.
The lack of organized effort and
a cooperative spirit between the
factions and groupes of the citizens
was said to be the cause Of the lack
of action and the club proposes to
become the meeting ground and the
melting pot" for the advocate Of
the campaign.

will mean the life Of this city with
in the next few years if we are but
able to grasp it," said one member.
THE movement which has made
Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota
dairying states, is steadily moving
westward and is ready to invade
South Dakota. Grant county, with
it's ideal location, on transcon-
tinental railroad, and with it's land
capable Of supporting ten times the
number Of people now living here,
will be the first to be invaded. Is
Milbank ready for this growth? Is
the county ready For this growth? :?
Grant county, according to statis-
tics is one of the richest counties in
the eastern half Of the state both in
farm lands and in total properties
of the county. Yet counties in the
western part of the state thru which
the Yellow Stone trail runs, which
have had no crop for the past three
years have road building program
and roads that have been graded
and worked upon every day during
the past three years. Duel county
south Of Grant has a system Of hard
road that are noticeable to every
.autoist that crosses the line from
Grant county.
Plans for cooperation between
ali Of the organizations, clubs and
public officials are to be 1ormed
and will be placed before them. A
series Of meetings thruout the
county and in the city will be had
during the winter and an endeavor
tosecure speakers and public official Is
acquainted with the good roads
problem in other counties of the
state will be made. Every effort
will be made for a big mass meet
ing in the near future to be ad-
dressed by the best speaker avail
able.
: The spirit which is necessary to
carry this campaign to a successful
finish must come from the people
who believe in good roads and who
want them, and it is necessary for
them to give the support and CO.
operation to every effort made.

THE CITY BOND ISSUE

The board Of directors OF the Cham
Der OF Commerce. at their meeting yes
terday. took steps to appoint a repro
sentative Of the Chamber Of Commerce
upon the commission TO be created for
the purpose Of framing an Improvement
bond issue. This step was taken on the
invitation Of City Council and in &C
the last meeting. 1t is understood that
Mayor Thoner has already indicated
some Of the membership Of this COM
mission. and the hopes are that In the
very near future the commission Will
be organized and at work. There IS no
good reason why. long before the sum-
mer is passed. we may not have we'll
thought-out and prepared bond issue
submitted to the voters of wheeling
with the assurance that we can go ahead
and begin to spend money on some OF
the improvements that this city needs.
1t is not a reflection upon the past
city administration that our streets have
fallen irto bad condition. 1t was almost
impossible to undertake the expendi-
lures Of large sums Of money during the
war. Now. however. we are free to be-
gin some improvement work. to repair
some Of the things that hove been nc
elected and TO carry out some Ct the
plans that have been long cherished
