ship.

The meeting will be held Wednes-
day noon and will take the place of
the regular evening session of the
Chamber of Commerce directors.
The Goods Roads committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, with Dr. A.
H. Van Vleet as Chairman, will be in
charge of the meeting.
County to Raise $600,000
First guns for voting $600,000 in
county bonds for carrying out the
goods roads program, will be fired at
the meeting, according to Dr. Van
Vleet. Support and advice of county
commissioners regarding the project
will be asked and effort made to get
behind the big program. Four dele-
gates from Noble Moore and Lexing-
ton, who have taken an active part
ufcounty road work will present their
endorsement to the plans, it is be-
lieved.
Formation of a county hard sur-
faced roads organization will be
made following the meeting, if plans
presented are declared feasible. The
organization will at once dive into
the proposition, and after pelting
the endorsement of local and state
road workers, begin preparations for
circulating a petition to solicit coun-
ty wide support to a bond issue.
State May Lend a Hand
That the state will match dollar for
dollar of county money, or at least
make a $400,000 appropriation for
helping put Cleveland county's road
program over is the belief of mem-
bers of the road committee. State
Highway Commissioner Clark has re-
cently voiced his support to the pro-
position and suggested that local or-
ganizations get behind him. The mat-
ter will be taken up with the state
authorities immediately following
organization.
Early Plans of Program
Early plans of the Good Roads
committee of the Chamber of Com-
merce provide that $1,000 000 be
raised through joint efforts" of the
county and state. About $600,000 of
thi3 sum can be raised through the
county and the remaining $400,000
given by the state, it is said. Early
plans provide that $800,000 be ex-
on the north and south roads of the
county and the remainder on lateral
roads. There are about thirty five
miles of the north and south roads,
it is said.—Norman Transcript.
