The second meeting of the De
port Roatl Club was held at the
theatre Monday evening, Presi-
dent Thompson presiding, lie
ports from nearly all the coin
mittees of the different roads
showed work under way, and
nearly all the roads were drag-
ged Monday. Several reported
the need of drags and the presi
dent was asked to conter with
the commissioner in an effort to
secure them. The Webb string
band supplied the music and a
quartette composed of Walter
Martin, Gravan Webb, Thurman
Kinsey and Joe Grant, sang two
songs. One was to the tune of
“Ft. Worth Blues” with words
applicable to the present condi-
tion of our roads. The other de-
picted the pleasure good roads
would afford.
The City’s Finances
The city’s financial statement
published last week showed that
our finances were in splendid
condition. For the year the tax
receipts, which includes sanitary
fees and street tax, amounted to
$2,01)2.23. During the same time
$1,621.43 was paid out for im
provements and sanitary service
leaving a balance of $470 $0.
This added to a balance of $551.81
on the same date last year makes [
a total of $1,022.04. There were
very few outstanding accounts
when the statement was issued.
The sanitary department lacked
$56 14 of paying expenses. The)
city also lias nearly a car of gra j
vel on hand.
The good roads fever is spread-1
ing. The Milton Good Roads'
Club was orginized Wednesday!
night of last week with a mem-i|
bership of twenty. Chas. Mar
tin was elected president and!1

EASTER, PARADE
Eulbright Road Graded
J. R. Short says that the road ]
to Fulbright, leading east from
near W. H. Thompson’s residen
ce, has been graded and is one
of the best roads in this section.
A little more work on the east
end of it near the Rugby-Ful
bright road and the automobiles
that have been going over a mile
out of the way in order to travel
over good roads will take the
new road. Three years ago
there was not a road in the coun-
ty in any worse shape.
Another Road in Fine Shape
Bob Womack, who was in
town Saturday, informs us that
the road leading east from the
Gunn place neap Halesboro,
which was in bad shape, had been
Vraded and put in fine condition.
Bridges and culverts will also be
repaired as soon as the lumber
can be secured. The people
have a road drag and Bob as-
sures us this road will be kept
in fine shape.
