A good roads mass meetitig was
. "hcld in thc court house Tuesday
.

meeting was called to order by
\V. A. Grecnwald , after which
hc meeting proceeded to elect a
chairman and secretary. 1\11'
Jack Walsh 'of Ht1tnboldt wa
elected to the office of chairman
.
and . John Martin " was chosen sec-

1'.11' Grccnwald then procccdel
. to state the nature of thc meeting
anti in a hr.iertl1al1l1cr stated farts
about certain existing conditions
not posscssitH natural tendencies
toward elevating the prestige of
Richardson county a 11(1 its roads
in the timation of thc people
Coin pel ed to travel over thl'l11.
Hc then read and placed in the
hands of the chairman elect , a
list of topics for consideration
and discussion at the hands of the
body assembled. The following
' > is the list :
' , . 11'0 . . " : . secure the best results
- under our present road law. l
2 Needed ; legislation in our
general road law .
3 Needed legislation to pro-
. / I. . Y' _ \ . \ vide adequate } means with which
Ito build . permanent roads.
. . . . . . . . , " .
4 The asnsabillty of forming
a permanent good roads organi-
.
nation with view pf following
up prospective legislation the
coming session of the legislature
etc etc. \
I1 ! presenting these topics , thc
committee creating them suggested -
ted ' that these subjects bc dis-
cussed topically in the order
named ; bclieving' thc best results
.
might be obtained by discussing
each topic sl'parately.
. These topics were handled in a
somewhat masterly way by not a
few ; and it was clearly ! demon ,
ii"rttNl : ; t\1.lt \ many minds have
been busy along thc lines of the
necessity of good roads and the
proper way to secure them.
The Falls City Commercial
club has . been \\'r st1ing with the
g.ioll roads problem for many
months , and realizing as they evidently -
\ dellt1y did , the magnitude of the
subject under consideration , they
have appealed to the people of f
thc county in general to asscmble
themselves in a maSH mceting
and arrange for a proper mode oj
operation along the line of secur
ing proper legislation ] for good 1 ;
. 'roads.
. . That their cry was heard wm
1 plainly evinced by the large crowd
I
. I
assembled ] in the the court room
' ' : ' After thc
Tuesday tfte1'l10on. ,
-
disctlssion of the above mcntion-
Honcd topics , thc meeting instructed -
stmcted the chairman to appoint
a committee to act in conjunction
with the legislator from this
county toward securing the pas-
sage of a bill that would lrO\'c
beneficial in securing ala w where
by the condition now existing
night bc bettered. 'l'his com-
mittec was ! afterward chosen as
the executive committee of a permanent -
. . .
manent orgal11 atIon. This I om-
mi , tee is comprised of the following -
ing members : \V. A. Green tvald
G. T. CrookJ. B. Babcockl E.
Grinstcad and G A. Abbott.
It was suggested that this com-
mittcc instruct thc I eg'islator to
secure thc abolishment of road
ovcreer.
At this juncture a motion was
made and carried , that a perman-
cnt good roads .organization : bc
affected Consequently the body
proceeded to elect permanent , officers -
ccr ! , and J. B. Babcock was elected -
cd president and -J. C. Null .was
elected to the office of sccretar ) ' .
'l'hc1 ! ? ' \nen with thc committee
previously organized , form thc
present officials of thc Richardson -
son county good roads organi a-
tlOn.
There was 110 questions in the
minds of any present as to time
results : of this mass mcetng : , it
an have but one result and that
is thc securing the better roads
for Richardson county. The con-
ditionf. alTairs . in existence for
the past twenty five years in this
county , prove beyond a doubt
that there is need of a change
along certain lines.
Vast sums of money have been
collected in Richardson County
by toatioin for thc purpose of
keeping ] the roads in good con-
dition , but these sums have been
unwisely expended , and thc re-
suIt is , that the roads arc still . in
a poor condition.
One thing in particular was
sprung on the convention ; it was
: assert d that it would bc imposs-
iblc for these eastern cOlllicils to
" secure the desired legislation because -
cause thc western counties , who
. enjoy thc blessing of a level
f r country and consequently . good
roads , would fight any attempt
I at changing the present laws.
'T ' hat they are in thc majority
; and arc able to frustrate our
I plans is i seemingly true ; but we
can overcome their oppositIOn
putting thc counties on thc same
basis with township lH'g'alli at-
ions. 't ' here is a law which pro-
vides for township organizations : ,
which a' ; county tmmty ; 01' play not
adopt as it ph i1se ! > .
A road law ; could hc passed and
it could bc optional with the individual -
di\ ' dual counties as to whcthcr
/
it should apply to th\111 or IIOt.
Br aduptilll such a niodc ( of ) > 1'0- '
ccedurc , the western rcprcscn ta-
lives could bc persuaded to assist
because it would not affect their
counties unless the voters 'should
so ilHI ( cate.Vc hope that thc
executive committee will adopt
the above idea for wc believe it
to b the really proper cause to
pursuc.
Altogethcr the mccting- \ \ ' as a
good one in every respect , and we
well pleasedvith time outcomc.
This meeting , was but a step to-
ward bringing about a condition
not beneficial to the farmer alone
but to thc business man ill town
