in th: determination of the good nearly 1000 owners of autos in
people of Yoakum county to have the North, and South have signi-
a good road. | fied their intention of attending
In this connection we want to the Panama Pacific exhibition in
say that our Court has just re 1915, and it is thought the total
ceived the Tahoka road with the by that time shall have reached a
exception of possibly a day or a total of more than 2500. Just
so's work near Burnett Bros, think what this immense travel
ranch, and has given Mr. Cope-
land the contract to make the
road from here to Gomez 24 feet
instead of 16, and one of the com-
i issioners said the work would
likelely be extended on to the
county line. The big hill at, the
draw will be given a good work-
ing, being either bedded with
rock or clay. We have nearly
$8,000 in onr treasury and our
Commissioners Court believe the
money can be no better spent
than to give their constituents
respectable thoroughfares. They
are a progressive set and have
the hearty support of the people.
In this connection and with re-
ference again to the Roswell
mayor’s letter published in the
last week’s Herald, we wish to
state that these new eflorts to-
will mean to our South Plains
country, not to mention the an-
nual pleasure trips incident to
the long stretch of good roads to
be found through here, prior to
and after 1915.
People who are able to travel
across the continent in the luxu-
ry of a touring car, are bound to
be wealthy, influential people,
whose words count for some-
thing where the come from. If
we show up with good roads,
they will be sure to mention the
fact when they return home and
this advertising will be worth
thousands of dollars to us for
more than 50,000 people will re-
turn to their homes and say:
“The people of the South Plains
are few but they have a rich lev-
el country and are the most pub-
Of course we cannot afford to
spend our money in building
roads for this purpose alone,that
is only a secondary matter, but
we have discussed the fact sev-
eral times in these columns
the economic importance of pro
viding easy transportation to
and from the railroad market.
Let the good roads movement
move on.
Mail will come in from Lub-
bock next Wednesday instead of
from Lamesa. .
