 GREAT BECAUSE OF
 CONDITION OF ROADS

 Mesa is losing thousands of dollars daily by the condition of the roads here and can no longer close her eyes and remain blind to the condition which exists" said one member of the committee, and if it is possible to do so, the Commercial club will lend its power to the end that something may be done."
 It was suggested that a committee be appointed from the Commercial club to wait on the supervisors and other officials to urge steps to relieve the condition.

 road overSeers to catch up.
 Several of the members of the Com mercial club who are farmers, have been looking into the situation, and will render a detailed report at today's meeting. It is also likely that the some attention to the $4,000,000 county highway program with an idea of lending aid to the end that paving be started at an early date
