Citizens Confer With Officials On
 Future Work
 CLANTON, Ala, August 25.-(Spec- iaD-A very enthusiastic good roads meeting was held at the court house in Clanton today. The meeting con- sisting of people from all over the county was called by the Commission CTS Court for the purpose of hear ing suggestions from the people as to what ought to be done to the roads of the county. There were prominent men from every beat in the county, and a number of them got up and made interesting talks giving their ideas as to the best way of working the roads in the county.
 The principal problem before the commissioners was the proper way to use the gasoline tax money which is being paid into the county every month. It is their desire to use the money so that the most real good can be realized from it. The court hase come to the conclusion that four complete road working outfits, consisting of a tractor and the necessary blows and scrapes, be purchased, and one of these outfits be placed in each of the four com mission districts Competent men are to be employed to run the machines
 The commission trs asked the aid of the people of the county in mak- ing the new scheme a sutcess. The people are asked to get out the stumps and fix the roads so that the tractors can get over them, and the county promises to do the rest. With the help of the gasoline tax money together with the regular road fund of the county, the commission CTS feel confident that this system will be a decided success. These four outfits are to be used only on the country roasd; the highways will be worked on a difeHent plan. So the money derived from the gaso- line tax is all to be used on the roads in the rural districts.
 The people manifested a strong interest in the new system, and promised their full support to the plan.
