State lload Commissioner, who has tho state roads In Cache County in charge. Tho object of the conferenco was to place ' beforo the commissioners tho necessity of repairing re-pairing our streets nnd hlghwaja before be-fore the Good Roads Convention in June. Tho city streets, as nil who tinvel them well know, nre In n deplorablo condition nnd certainly need lmmedlnto attention. It Is also reported that thcrQi aro many places In our- county roads where It is extremely ex-tremely difficult to make safo croau-ilngs. croau-ilngs. Tho City Commlsslonrcs agreed to take tho matter up at onco nnd level all the high places left by the main sower and the private connections connec-tions and to fill up tho holes In tha streets and thus put them in Die best possible condlton beforo the visit cf strangers from surrounding states. Tho County Commissioners nnd alio al-io State Commissioner Jenseil, ngtc-td to go right at tho county ronds nnd tee that they nre greatly Improved, over their present condition. It was lenrned that tliero Is nt present pres-ent -bout 115,000 of tho stato road funds that can bo sppnt upon the highways as soon as a sultablo man it obtained to take charge of the uork.

It Is sincerely hopec that the City Commissioners and the County Commissioners will not pool-pone pool-pone tho beginning of this work a dv longer than Is necessary, becauso good roads aro needed now for ii'o In dally routlno of travel. Thero is no reason why this work should be postponed until a few days beforo tho Convention. Let men and teams bo put to work at once that tho streets and roads may bo improved nnd mndo passablo for all kinds of conveyances. From tho Salt Lako dallies It Is no- X tlced that tho Commissioners In ihpt rlly have Just appropriated J5000 for lighting and beautifying tho streets pieparntory to the Trans-Mlsslsslppl Commercial Congress and tho National Na-tional Irrigation Congress. If Sill Lnke can afford outlays of this mi;-nltudo mi;-nltudo for merely tempornty show then Logan City can afford to spend n little for permanent Improvements of roads. An nnclcnt statesman once si'd. "No city or country can grow unless she makes eaBy Inter-communicnllor. with her people." If Logan, Cache County or tho State of Utah or our nution expects to grow each will h.no to do Its part In preparing better means of transportation pn. its n'gli-ways. |
