CAMPAIGN FOR
ROADS IS READY
Publicity Plans Launched for
Education on County
Bond Issue
The publicity campaign la the In
terest of the bond issue or $850,000
for the construction of 150 miles of
market roads in Marion county was
launched at a meeting held In the
Commercial club rooms last night.
A fnnd or $2200 Is to be raised for
the campaign and the workers will
commence at once to secure the
amount. .
It Is the plan to conduct the cam
paign along educational and business
like methods. A manager will be
employed and speakers will be
brought to Salem to the county to
deliver addresses and to tell or the
work done by other states and coun
ties.
The impression was general with
those in attendance that the reeling
toward the bond Issue Is much more
favorable than the conditions which
existed In 1914 and 1917 when Sa
lem voted against similar measures.
This Is .held due to improved con
dltlons, to education, and to a real!
cation that the roads are a business
proposition Instead or a luxury for
tourists.
xsumerous brief speeches were
made, all being of an optimistic
trend and all bearing the assurance
ot co-epe ration.
