| WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, ROAD MAINTENANGE AND BUILOWE URGED AT TUESDAY FORUM MEET 1921. “\County Funds Too Low’to Permit Expenditures Good roads enthusiasts for the first time this season haa! their inning at the chamber Tuesday afternoon, and from and results accomplished, the successful of the present 5: of commerce forum luncheon a standpoint of public interest, meeting was one of the most \ The condition of the Aleova road, which connects Casper with the off fields of Lost Soldier, Ferris field and Bolton creek, came in for the lion’s share of attention when Ira G. Wetherill and’ G..R. Hagens, chairmen of committees appointed last summer to take up the matter of road improvement in this district; ‘tmade. their reports. Mr. Wetherill for his committee re- ported that’the ofl companies and supply companies had contributed about $2,000 for road work, which had been spent in grading and érain- ing the road between Whiskey. Gap and tho Separation flats, all-of which is in Carbon county, and that this piece of road was now in better con- dition than any portion of the high- way between Casper and | Rawlins. Mr. Wetherill was highly compli- = mented for his go0d work by the in- terested companies. . RE. Wertz, general manager of the Producers & Refiners corporation, which company moved its headquar- ters from Rawlins to Casper, reviewed * the road situation from the standpoint of @ representative of the operating ‘companies, and expressed keen disap- *pointment that Natrona county had neglected ‘to maintain thé Alcova road, and had permitted this impor- \ tant highway to fall into such a state as to make it almost impassable dur- “Ing the winter months. Mr, Wert# » stated that his company is spending about $200,000 a year in Casper, that practically all the field supplies. for his company had to be hauled over ¢ this road, and believed that his and other operating companies should be = accorded better treatment in the mat- ' ter of road maintenance, While not “‘making the direct statement, Mr. “Wertz strongly intimated that if Caa- per expected to keep the headquarters “of the P. & R., something in the way {of improving the Alcova road must ibe done ag scon as possible. G. R. Hagens, reporting for the =tommittee appointed» to confer with *the county commissioners, sald that ‘eo far his committee had failed to “make much headway with the com: gnizatoners, but that he had hopes that “as soon as winter broke, that some- thing would be done toward placing the road in condition. Speaking for the county eommis- “sioners, Charles Anda sald that lack ~of funds had prevented any exten- “plve maintenance of the road, and, al- though pressed by other speakers for ‘@ statement; -he-would make no defin- ‘ile promise as to what would be doze. “Tt the county funds hold out, we will do some work on the in the spring,” sald Mr. Ande, if we wen’t the money, no. work will be ‘Wdone.”” > “Soir. Anda sal@ he would be giad to ‘oe anything he could but that he “would not countenance action ~ that R. 8. Ellison, chairman of * the Forum meetings, sharply criticized e commissioners for failure to main- the road, declaring that all the jousands of dollars spent on the road the previous board in the way of wy construction is going to waste use of lack of a maintenance”sys- ‘tem. Mr. Ellison insisted that some way should be found, regardless of financial condition of the county : uury, to maintain the Alcoya road. iwehich, he declared to be the most {m- Portant artery of trade coming into e city of Casper. © “With the state highway. depart- ‘Thent maintaining *the Yellowstone highway both east and west, and the it Creek road, thus, leaving the Al- ova road the only important road un- fer county jurisdiction, {t' seems to mie that something should: be done fo keep this road in good shape,” Mr. ison declared. ‘the frank discussion on the part of all those participating in thesmeeting tyas the subject of much favorable ‘Gomment by those present, and it is Bene that some way will be found bring about the desired results in \e way of highway improvement in this district. 7 >.
