TO ItEMOYE THE OATEM
ON ALLIANCE ROAD
Scottsbluff Star-Herald:
At the meeting of the Commercial '
Club Tuesday evening the matter of
the road between this city and
Alliance was brought up through the
reading of a letter from Secretary
I) Fisher of the Commercial Club .
Of the Box Uutte county capital. In j
the missive Mr. Fisher states that:
his club has been instrumental In'
having all of the gntes removed on
the Scottshluff-AUIance road in Box
Butte county and asked the localir
ganizatlon to do the same in Seotta
Muff county.
The movement was believed to bo
good thing by the members of the
lull and It was the unanimous opin
ion that the matter should receive
immediate attention. To that end
Secretary Stowart was empowered
to visit the land owners who at pres
ent have gates across the road and
isk that they place lanes in lieu of
the gates, these at the same time pre
venting the stock from straying and
allowing the passage of automobiles.
The chair appointed Messrs. Andrew
Crawford aad W. A. McCain to assist
Secretary Stewart in this work. It
was thought by the club that the
land owners would be more than
id i wise to co-operate in this work, as
II ts understood that there has been
considerable trouble experienced on
h"ir pari through careless autoists
leaving the gates open and allowing
the stock to stray in consequence.
Secretary Fisher also stated in his
letter than when former secretary of
(he Alliance organization he had
narked the Scottsbluff-AUiance road
aad was ready to do so again as soon
as the gate matter was given atten
tion and remedied.
