the section east OF Fishing Creek. i'm
Landsford. and a small portion Of
Rossville townships to York county.
Some rs citizens OF that section
| were present and while they were
apparently willing to sign the petit
fion, which requires one-third of the
| freehoilers to call an election, the
sentiment was divided as to how they
would vote in the matter. A large
number OF them expressed them
selves as being unwilling to leave
Chester county until the proposed
annexation had received further con-
sideration.

present, gave an explanation Of how
the funds intrusted to the Chester
highway commission had been eX-
pended in improving the roads Of
Chester county, stating that the orig
,nal plan to build 201 miles OF road
with the bond issue of $450,00O had
Of necessity been decreased on ac-
count OF the greatly increased ex-
pense in doing the work
He assured them that the Chester
people regretted the proposed action

he provided with the amount orig
'nally allotted to her for road build
ing before the plans of the commits
sion had to be changed to conform
with increased costs. II. S. Adams
was present representing the Chester
highway commission.
Mr.. Wilson. in the course OF his
remarks. told of plan that tho
people of Rock Hill had in mind to
form new county with Rock Hill
~ the county seat and explained that
this was one reason they sought ad-
ditional territory i'm that section. He
also stated that the citizens in a
portion OF the northeastern section
of York county were planning to be
annexed to Cherokee county. MIR
Wilson had the petition ready and
explained in detail the legal step
| necessary to secede from Chestc'
county. He made no promises as to
what York county would do for this
section in the way of improved road
'r otherwise. He suggested that in

| Editor Glacier: The writer has read

This park, as | understand, would he
for the benefit and convenience of auto
tourists place where they could park
their cars if they cared TO. have
nothing to say either for or against
this park proposition; it is no doubt
worthy object. 1t does seem to me,
however. that something might be
done about liking up decent place
where farmer could park his team
when he drives TO town to trade.
Take look at that place on State
street. That is the only place in town
that ! know of where one can hitch.
Mud and water four inches deep where
the horses have to stand IL is a fine
place for woman to climb out and
hitch a horse. Anyone hitching there
needs gum boots on. There never has
been room to accommodate teams that
want to hitch there, and as il is now
with number Of the hicthing posts
broken off and lying in the mud condi-
tions are worse than formerly.
The merchants in town think il a
terrible thing If farmer sends to
Portland or Seattle for monkey
wrench or pair of shoes. Mabye if
they saw TO it that things were made
little more convenient for the farmer
who has to come to town with a team

who makes the town prosperous and
not the tourist. They. the tourists.
