A community plan for growth and shared services
A long list urges Boone to develop a water system, waste disposal, fire protection, a brick and wood working plant, a tourists hotel, boarding houses, a drug store, a hardware store, and a business organization to push local enterprises. It calls for better freight service, 10 000 new residents, and stronger bonds to fund expansion, warning against costly outflow of cash to outside suppliers. The piece also discusses wartime prisoner treatment in France, defending humane treatment and noting abuses by some guards while praising regular army conduct. It critiques sensational reports and argues many claims were exaggerated.
