Plan Permanent Club While no permanent officers

were elected at the meeting Mon­day evening?" act ion waa taken on several subjects which were brought before it by individual members, and adjournment taken until Monday evening when a permanent organisation will be effected.

The club at its initial meetaing adopted a resolution In which it went on record in opposition to the recent action taken by the town board of the town of Gou­verneur in making a contract with the Roberts Supply company, which is constructing the new county bridge across the Oswe-gatchie river on the Rock Island street road, a* county project The contract* provides that tke town furnish a quantity of stone for use in constructing the bridge, which substance means that the town is entering the field of private en­terprise in competition with val-

f ued industries now located in the town of Gouverneur.

,:VA Resolution "^"P ' ^" The resolution follows: Wheras, The supervisor of the

town of Gouverneur has entered into agreement with the Roberts Supply company of Lima, .Ohio, by which the town of Gouverneur agrees to crush approximately

K.100 cubic ymr4M of stone for said company to be used In bridge construction and to receive com­pensation therefor, and

Whereas, By said agreement the town of Gouverneur mast, of necessity, remove its maekinery and employees from the. hlgk-way, said hlfhways are negleettd to such an extent that tkey are practically . impassable with any degree of comfort, thereby driving valued patronage to other local­ities. .Examples offered are the]. Spragueville, Johnstown and Clin­ton roads, and

Wheras, By such agreement said town is entering tke field of private enterprise in competition with valued industries now locat­ed in the town of JGouverneur, end

Whereas, The town of Gouver­neur would in all probability be liable for injuries sustained by employees while fulfilling this contract, now therefore ke it

Resolved, That tke *ron-Par-tlaan Political club of Gouverneur is opposed to suek agreement, be­lieving that the town of Gouver­neur should not hsve entered into such a contract and said agree­ment should be cancelled without delay, and be it further

Resolved, That the work of the town employtes and the use of Its machinery shoold be confined to the much needed repairs and maintenance of highways of said town. - .

The aim of the management from die start has "been to provide aJ contjday fair in IU Seventieth year of more merit than is o4ered emewWt mv

this part of the state and to truly make it an exhibition "Where the is Performed.** . • . ;^ :/ X:&;&

The three score and ten mark is a notable one in the individual or institution and with this idea in mind the board of of the fair this year have perhaps gone the tank in their efocts In p p t the people a fair that wifl go down in the society*s history as n tribute to the labors and accoittpfcshments of those and foresight mode possible the ckveloposanl of the association. •• - •; . « " *? v^^jfcV > & & •
