The Bates County Auxilliary to the Ozark Trails Association was organized at Rich Hill Tues- day afternoon, June 29th, at a meeting of road enthusiasts rep-" resenting the Butler, Rich Hill, Adrian and Hume Commercial Clubs. The meeting was called for the purpose of organizing for » the selection and improvement of a north and south road through Bates county whieh will qualify as a part of the famous Ozark trail. ; The meeting was called to ord- er_ by E.

He called atten- tion to the fact that Cass, Bates land Vertion counties had been chosen only tentatively as a route through Which the — trail pass and stated thaf the roads in these counties are much below the standard set for qualification as a part of the trail. He also made the statement that eastern Kansas-is striving to be designat- ed for the trail and that much of the travel from the south is al- ready being diverted west into Kansas from Nevada. - ‘John D. Moore outlined to the meeting the plans of the Ne- vada Good Roads organization to build a straight line route from the southern to the northern boundary of Vernon county and suggested that Bates County adopt similar plans. W.. F. Duvall suggested that an organization be perfected among the several Commercial Clubs of the county with the pri- mary object of building a high- way north and south through the- county, whieh upon its comple- tion would be tapped by high- ways to the towns upon the out- skirts. of the county. He stated that-already- Foster and vicinity has raised $500 to be applied on the construction of a road to Butler. Mr. Duvall said that he had talked to many farmers in yarious sections of the county and that nearly all were enthus- iastie for good roads and ex- pressed a willingness to contri- bute liberally toward their con- struction. Major F. H. Crowell told of the progress made in road build- ing in the county and urged that no time be lost in putting a north to south road in shape to qualify for the Ozark trail. W. W. Ferguson, upon being requested to speak said ‘‘the way to build good roads is to build them.’”’ He urged an or- proceeded to organize_by the el- ection of the following officers: Chairman—A. H. Culver. Secretary—Homer Humphrey. Treasurer—Sam Walls. Upon motion the committee was empowered to appoint such sub-committees “as they might deem necessary. Tt was announced that~ an Ozark Trail meeting would be held at Nevada July 13th and all road boosters are urged to at- tend. The matter of a rock road through Vernon county will be ‘taken up at that meeting. After a general discussion the meeting adjourned.
