TIE SUFERVISOHS MEET First Meeting With the New Road Manager is Success, To the Editor: " " : y : Seventeen road supervisors, representing as many road districts, were present at the rousing meeting held- in the county court room last Thursday. It was called to order by Mr. Finn. ' Various subjects were discussed at length among them was the new ac counting system recently installed in every county throughout the state, with the exception of Multnomah County. . The assembled road super visors went on record as opposed to the entire accounting system as relating to the handling of road af fairs. It means that Polk County will have to pay a monthly amount of about $125, that the people will get nothing for. While the intention of the system may be good, it incurs an unnecessary expense and may cause some trouble to eretain super visors. The scale of wages was talked over and in view of the fact that the cost of living was constantly on the climb upward the supervisors as a body earnestly requested the court to al low them $2.50 for every 8 hour day of real work on the roads of Polk County. To which request the road master called Amen. After other minor matters relating to roads were aired, Mr. Finn out lined a system of caring for the coun ty tools and machinery, also a few methods of construction and strong ly recommended the use of the split log drag as a great factor for the maintainence of earth and gravel roads. EuthUsiasm ran high among the boys, the members of the court en tering into the discussions from time to time, showed a sincere interest in road affairs, and summing up the prospects for a successful year of road work, looks mighty bright. They are all going to work and pull to gether; which spirit is conducive of good. It would be hard to go any place and find a better bunch of supervis ors and it speaks well for the people who have instrusted their roads to the care and keeping of these super visors. . J. W. Finn. Christian Church. There were 280 present at the bible school of the Christian Church Sun day morning, and the mark was set for 325 next Sunday. Two interesting sermons were preached by the minister, C. C. Curtis. The special sermon announced for Sunday morning was all that could have been desired. Mr. Curtis used as his subject, "Dallas," The "Prune City" or (t). This discourse was based upon Matt. 7:16, "By Their Fruite Ye Shall Know Them." A live subject was also treated in the evening viz., "The Unemployed". This theme was based upon the text, Matt. 20:8, 7, "Why Stand Ye Here All the Day Idlet" Large crowds listened to boUi of these sermons. Died, Mrs. Elfrida Kate Bullard died last Saturday, February 21st, at 10.20 p. m., at the borne of her daughter, Mrs. 8. D. Calkins of Dallas.
