the local club attempted to en-
roll as members as many farm
ers as possible and committee
activity has been devoted to
securing adequate shipping
facilities, good roads and other
work of that nature.
The following committee re-
ports show something of what
has been accomplished:
GOOD ROADS
The Good Roads Committee of the
Commercial Club have noted with
much satisfaction the results OBJ
tanned by the City Comm issioners
through their manager. We realize
that the recent rains which have
been very frequent have made It
very hard to keep the streets In per-
feet condition. The drag seems to
be always in action and We are OBJ
tanning excellent results-returniAe
them to their usual perfect condi-
ton.
We also note the hearty support
OF the County Commissioners and
the state highway engineer In their
special effort to cooperate with the
Bowen communits by letting a cor
tract for rebuilding the Gunbarrsl
road south. This has needed re-
pairing for some time. The road
from 'Zlnser switch south to Bowsa
has been partly improved by the use
OF the road machines. The coa-
mittee will be glad to take up any
road condition and submit II to the
directors of the Commercial Club.
