I feel that there is a splendid op:

tent Of their cooperation and faith
in the Clubs directors will success be
measured.
John Wallace, state highway en-
gineer, talked on the need of good
roads, and stated that he found the
cooperation Of citizens in this coun-
ty above the average. He called at
tention to the state road from Bart
lett to Churches Ferry and cited this
as an example Of what a road should
be. This was constructed by State
and Federal aid with an additional
county appropriation. He also stat
ed that it was little use to construct
a good road unless provision was made
for keeling it in shape, which accord
ing to contract must be done in the
case of state roads. He urged that
sentiment should be created for the
employing by the county of a County
Highway engineer who . should have
the overseeing Of all road work and
construction in the county. This
would insure all roads being built to
a proper standard at d minimum cost.
President Selby then announced the
chairmen of some of the boards, who
had been selected subject to the will
of the meeting:

lace.

An invitation has been received from
| the Grand Forks curling team, for a
delegation from this city to be their
! guests at a tournament to be held
soon, with the idea of getting local
parties interested SO that a local team
may be formed. @
j. M. Thompson in his. talk stated
that he was greatly inspired by what
had taken place at the meeting, and
was greatly in favor of allotting the
work to be done to committees. 1t
should not be suggested to them that
"something should be done," but just
put the matter. in their hands and
the results would be forth coming.
Matte Kelly suggested that a com
mittee should be permanently APP
pointed which should pass upon tran
sient advertising propositions. In
the past several of these have been
worked without merit, and in line with
what other cities are doing suggested
that this would be an important mat
ter. His suggestion was accepted
and such a committee will be form
ed.
A letter was read from Grace Ser.
umgard suggesting that the CONNER
cial Club take upon themselves the
matter of promoting more musical ac-
tivities within the city. The com.
munication was appreciated and will
be given due consideration.
