KIwanfs Met.
The session OF the Kiwanis club
of this city held at the Bartlett no
tel yesterday noon with the regu.
lar monday luncheon was a short
one and only a few reports OF the
various committees working here
and out Of Warrington were heard.
Probably the most important matter
discussed at the session yesterday
was the new good roads situation.
The special committee Of Ktwanians
which was named some time ago to
get the dope on tlia road question,
reported that in all probability
county surveyors would be sent
above the city during the mex:
week. Other committee reports
were heard but nothing definite was
stated. Senator George w. Bowers,
president Of the organization, gave
! a short talk on state taxes. Mr..
Bowers said that a fair and true es'
innate value Of goods Should be
made. There seems to be multi.
tude OF people who never do give
out fair list Of tax prices TO the
collectors when they come around.
II Is the hope OF Nj. Bowers that a
change will be noticed aud that the
state tax question will be given
considerable amount Of thought,
mot only by Kiwanians. but by Man
uington people md citizens OF West
Virginia, who have taxes to pay.
