At an enthusiastic "Rood roa-ls"
meeting, which was held In Aurora
Stoturdaj mornlnff, definite pl-ins
were made tor p^uMng alone thw
cork of coojlmctlng a good road
-oad out at that city. About 200
persona attended the meeting and
great interest was evinced in the
proceedings. W. A. Thompson and
Mr. Lawrence, of Aurora, both made
cxcell' at addresses on the preeent
prospects for securing good roads
and the best method of obta'.n'.np
results.
The following committee was e
? looted at the meeting to take entir:
charge of constructing a nand-i-lay
: road across the sand hills . Meyers
' Poncer, W. A. Thompson and Rev.
T.. N. Lawrence. The latter was
i ejected treasurer.
! The proposed route will go either
I by way of Edwards or by way t
! the Respaag road. The people along
caeh of these routes arc exceeding
' ly anxious for the work to be don?
on their highway. The route w4.!!
be definitely decided upon Tuesday!
night, when another meeting will !
be held for that purpose. Commit-1
tees were appointed on both of the
above routes to collect monoy and
secure subscriptions of work. Which-'
ever route raises tho larger amount
-of money will secure the stew roai.
Enthusiasm In the work is grow
lng dally. So far abo&t $1,100 have
been subscribed by if the j
two ronfeiin money and tn iabAr.

Receive In prt.verrent.
L. 0. Tripp, mayor of Edwardtf.!
was in the city today and had con- !
s!der?.ble Information to give out re-'
gnrding the road improvement j
which It is planned to make out of j
1 Aurora. According to Mr. Tripp, ,
je\ery effort should be made by the
tuift'hs of the county to attend the
m^etiing at Aurora tomorrow night.
! when It will fro definitely decided
I vhlcli rout? !? to be Improved.
"There are two roads leading out
of Aurora," said Mr. Trltp, and one
c.f these will b? Improved. One 1b
'known as the Respass road and the
other one lead*# through Edwards.
In my mind the people should not
hesitate for a second in deciding that
the road running through Edwards
Is the logical one to repair. The
other would only benefit the peo
ple living at Respass and In addl
'llon to that. It leads direet to ?<(?*:
Bern. The road rurfnlng through
! Edwards Is the more direct rotate to
Washtngton, and If this road it lui
! provrd, the people trt Bonnertnn .
will bplld out to it. The people of J
Edwards have also agreed to 1m- ]
prove Main street themselves, tod
j this will lav? eon* expense to the
g neral road work. Edwards 1c1
willing to do more than her share In ,
getting this road improved- We be
; litre that It Is the proper one m
which to work.
"I hope that a larfe delegation
will be pree-nt at the meeting at
Aurora tomorrow night. We espec
ially urge the business men of Wesh
ington to attend."
