BOARD TRADE TO HEAR
DISCUSSION OF PAVING
NO MORE MONEY FOR FISH
HATcHERY-o.-W. MAY
PUT ON TRAIN.

At the meeting of the board Of
/ trade yesterday Rush j. White chair
man OF the good roads committee,
stated that the kind of paving to be
used on the highway between Mullan
and Kellogg would soon be a live
question and he thought the people
should be fully informed on the merits
of paving material to the end that the
paving adopted would conform to the
prevailing public sentiment. With this
idea in mind, Mr.. White proposed
that the board of trade invite speak
ers representing the two kinds of paw
ing, concrete and bitulithic, to speak
on the merits of the respective paw
ings and be prepared to answer what
ever questions their hearers may de-
sire to ask. Mr.. White proposed that
the entire time of meeting be given
to each of the speakers, and that the
Shoshone County Good roads assO-
citation and the public generally be
invited to attend. He said he had
written the Portland Cement associa-
ton on the subject and had been in
formed that the company would be
glad to send a man any time to speak
on the merits of concrete paving. He
had also written to the Warren Con-
struction company, OF Portland, for a
man to talk on bitulithic paving, SINH
lar to that on the Wallace streets, and |
although he had received no reply. he
had no doubt that the company would |
be glad to act on the suggestion. Mr. |
White said that he believed this plan |
would tend to crystalize public senti- (
ment on the kind of paving desired /
an would exert an influence on the ,
final decision. He desired an express
sion from the board as to whether
the good roads committee should pro-
coed to arrange for these speakers as
proposed.
NJ. ]. Flohr thought public senti-
ment would have little to do with de-
termining the paving. He thought it
was a matter to be left to highway en-
gineers who have made a study of
the subject This seemed to be the
view of Thos, II. Owen, who presided
at the meeting in the absence of
President Hull. He said bids would be
received for the various kinds of paw
ing according to certain specifications
for each and it would be up to those
authorized to pass upon the bids to
decide which was the most desirable.
The discussion closed with a unani
nous vote authorizing Mr.. White to
proceed with the plan to secure paw
ing speakers.
No Money for Hatchery. ,
A letter from the Occur d'Alene I
chamber of commerce explained the
former request for a donation to help $
maintain the fish hatchery. NJ. J. c
Flohr said that while in Occur dAlene 7
recently he visited the hatchery, and q
also CHANGED to meet r. e. Thomas, L
state game warden. He said Mr.. .
Thomas was quite indignant that f
Occur d'Alene people had sought s
donation, and said that the state was a
prepared to provide for the hatchery b
Ind was doing so. C
e. r. Denny ended this long drawn Il
nut affair by making a motion, which t
vas unanimously adopted, to the effect
hat inasmuch as the people of Wal a
ace contributed $500 in cash to help e
occur d'Alene get the hatchery in the o
lrst place, with the understanding that n
he lake city would assume all future a
Expense, the board of trade is of the s.
pinion that the people of this city g
re under no obligations to make a
urther contributions to maintain it. -
