No. 31, Town Highway Men Formed Organization At Little Valley Cattaraugus County’s 33 town highway superintendents were or ganized as a county association with officers elected for the coming year and regular monthly meetings sched uled for the second Saturday in ev ery month. Co-operating with a state-wide movement, the town superintendents perfected their organization at a meeting at the county seat in the Supervisors Chambers. Gilbert Ky- sor, New Albion, was elected the first president. The other officers are Louis H. Anderson, Portville, vice-president; Glenn Wilson, Dele- van, treasurer and Ernest Dankert. Otto, secretary. Standing committees and other executives are to be elected at the next meeting of the organization, which will he held in Little Valley, on Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock, August 10th. At this meeting, also, a constitution and by-laws may be submitted for consideration, Thomas E. Wright, Rochester, Executive Secretary of the New York State Construction Council, was a guest at the organization meeting. Having assisted in setting up similar organizations in nearly a score of other counties in the State, he was invited to help in setting up the Cattaraugus County Association. Highway Superintendent Walter Bo wen of Little Valley was present and expresed himself as “extremely gratified that you men should un dertake to organize yourselves. “Working and cooperating togeth er as an organization, you men, by this move show full appreciation of the better service that each of you can render your respective town ships,’” said Superintendent Bowen. “Your mutual problems of road con struction, machinery difficulties, fin ancing and the multitude of other problems will become more simpli fied through general discussions at your regular meetings. Indeed, our whole highway system should become even more efficient now.” Mr. Wright told the men of the success of similar organizations in other counties of the state. He ex plained alternative methods by which they had set themselves up into organizations, such as bringing in towm board members—methods which the newdy elected officers will Consider and present at the next meeting, “In organization there is strength,” admonished Mr. Wright. “And to day, more than ever you men need this strength, to combat influence now at work in the legislatures to take aw'ay all of your state aid for repair and maintainence.” Mr. Wright told the meeting that the motorist in New York State is paying the state treasury more than 120 m illions a year in gasoline tax and license fees; that when the first two cent tax was put on in 1929, such revenue by law was dedicated to highway use. “But in 1932, the state began di version—taking away from the highway fund and putting this rev enue into the state’s general fund for purposes other than highways. And since 1932 more taxes were laid on as ‘emergency levies’. Yet, to day from the 120 millions the mo torist is only receiving back 23 mil lions for his roads. In other, words, even as the tax has increased, the return to the highway fund itself has been decreased,’’ declared Mr. Wright. Mr. Wright pointed to the met ropolitan interests as being a big reason for misuse of highway funds and destructive policy with regard to the state, county and town high way systems, declaring “the met ropolitan areas have only city streets, few highways, but big relief prob lems, and the more they can divert to the general fund for relief the better it is for them.” “But when they take these funds from us, it can only mean a rise in our real estate taxes, if we are to maintain and repair our highways— the same highways that those city people drive on, when they come out to the country for a week-end. But you can’t blame the metropolitan in terests: they’re organized and we’re not,” he stated. “No, this problem is our kitten, nnd it is up to us to organize so that w e can present our side of the pic ture with effectiveness, and the 30 b lies with you men mainly, as the sole defenders of our highways; you men who know that certain bridges are unsafe in your areas.

For many years this exhibition has proved equal to the entertainment features of the fair in popularity with the crowd, and is again expected to increase at tendance €or Fj'iday, the third day of the fair. In charge of Mrs. Maude Baigeon, superintendent, the baby show takes place at noon on tbe free acts plat form, it was stated by fair president. Dr. R. P. Knight. Baby show classes offer premiums amounting to $96. Mrs. Saigeon said, and offer competi tions to white babies, Indian babies and Negro children. First pai’ade of the 99th annual fair comes at one o’clock on Wed nesday, opening day. It will fea ture the prize live stock of Cattarau gus county, raised and groomed by county farmers. Also in the parade are the petted and pampered animals brought along so carefully by the youngsters in the 4-H Clubs and the Future Farmer chapters of the county. Frequently mare than a quarter of a mile in length, the par ade set down for one o’clock on August 28 will prove no exception. Dr. Knight predicted. With firemen of the county in fine marching fettle after attending many home weeks, carnivals and conventions during past weeks, the concluding event on their schedule for the season is bound to afford a spectacle of unusual color. Dr. Knight asserted. He referred to the firemen’s parade on opening night of the fair, when representatives of every department in the coimty, and the departmental musical organiz ations as well as auxiliary marching units, will participate. Pumper equipment and other mechanical fire fighting apparatus will be spaced among the groups of marching men and women. Dr. Knight said, in a parade likely to extend the entire- length of the half mile grounds race track. The firemen’s parade brings to a conclusion the' firemen’s day activi ties, which permits uniformed fire fighters free access to the grounds. On Thursday the first of many judging contests begin, when Future Farmers and 4-H youths compete. Poultry, farm produce, cattle and other competitions are on. the docket for the second day of the fair. Prize animals, especially groomed for coun ty fair classes, will remain in the new cattle barns for examination by fair-going crowds. Present Indications are that at least seventeen county granges will achieve unusual effects in decora tion with farm products tu an at tempt to out do one another, and to capture the coveted honor that goes with having the best exhibit ^ in grange hall. Each year the stalls in the grange hall attract an esti mated 78-per cent of all fair-goers, as they compare their own estimates of decorating excellence with the de cision reached by the judges who grade the granges.
