ing up our city streets with all trunk
lines of road, including Improvement
Of the thoroughfares to the proposed
new Giant Springs park and TO Sun
River park.
Urge Road Systems
eve wish also to have the CONNER
cial club cooperate with the city conh-
Gil, the board of county commission
ers and the park board to work out
complete road systems for this city
and the agricultural districts. We wish
to urge the construction of road on
the north side of the Missouri river
to the works of the Anaconda Copper
Mining rompany and following the river
closely to the Rainbow dam and to the
hydro electric plant at the Great Fails
thus doing away with the rambling
gumbo highway now used to reach
these points, which is a blind way to
travel for our own people, to say moth
ing about visitors and tourists.
It is highly important that atten-
ton be given to improving roadWays
leading to Canada. so that these peo-
pie may come this way more frequent
ly than has been the case heretofore.
We reach this conclusion because such
travel has been increasing year by year
under adverse circumstances.
1--WE submit these recommendations
for the approval of the board or di-
rectors as proper foundation for the
work Of the good roads committee tor
the year 1922.

More Publicity Urged
The directors also approved a re-
port by the publicity committee recon-
mending that greater effort be made
this year to advertise and furnish pub
licity regarding Great Falls. The re-
port noted that business conditions
are improving and that the tide OF I'M
migration will this year begin moving
westward again.
A booklet of the approximate cost
of $1,000, enumerating business and
farm opportunities in this section or
the state. was recommended, and the
suggestion was adopted, subject to the
the approval of the budget committee.
The last booklet issued was financed
by the club and Cascade county and
the same plan this year would divide
the cost equally between the club and
the county The matter will be taken
up with the board of commissioners.
Return of livestock to better prices
was especially referred to and it was
recommended that a substantial sum
be expended in advertising in eastern
farm publications. The publicity and
advertising committee is composed by
l.. +. Jones. H. F. Johnson, S. ID. Lar
gent w. Il. Flowerree, Jr., and ). e.
Peterson.
