CONNIE TEE ON HIGHWAYS
ASSIGNED MUCH WORK
Numerous Problems Discussed at Conn
nercial Club Meeting Held
Tuesday Evening

The committee on highways Of the
Warren Commercial club will be an ex-
tremely active one if it takes up and
completes all the tasks suggested in a
discussion at the meeting of the club at
the club rooms last evening. A good
attendance was present at the meeting
and very interesting session was had,
numerous matters of interest to the city
and community being taken up and dis
cussed.
The$bad condition of the road leading
southwest of Warren was called to the
attention Of the highway committee and
the suggestion offered that efforts
should be made to have the road SUI
peryisors Of the townships of Farley
and sBoxville give this road their atten-
tion required to keep it in good shape.
The committees attention was also
called to the matter of making efforts
to have the road leading from Warren
west to Oslo, placed under the Babcock
Trunk highway system and the sugges-
ton made that a petition to this effect
be presented to the state highway COM
missioner. ~ 80.
The suggestion was also offered that
efforts should be made to have the gra-
yelling completed on the state road east
of Warren, there being only three OF
four miles left to form the connecting
link of some sixty OF eighty miles OF
gravelled roadway. The travelling OF
the" Great Eastern is another project
that should be taken up as soon as pos
sible as it would furnish employment
for a large number OF men and it un-
dertaken during late fall and early win
ter would give farmers along the road
an opportunity to haul the gravel and
thereby convert idle time into cash.
Attention was. called to the Importance
Of cutting the weeds along the roads
during the next few weeks so as to pre-
vent blockading of the roads by drift
ing snow. A suggestion was made that
a snow fence erected near the city lin
it's north OF town on Second street
would prevent the formation of snow
drifts at that point, which makes thai
street impossible every spring.
The agricultural committee reported
pledges had been received for the plant
ing of over 700 acres Of potatoes mex
