slider the question of improving our
country roads, and how to 60 at the
matter. There is, as we have re-
marked several times before in these
columns, good chance for important

much to further the sentiment of the
the state for solid road beds 1t
ought to be able, in view of the prep
aration and agitation connected
Herewith, to call out, much more i'm
porlant information ~ to the best
D. an of building such >>ads as are
needed and the cost thereof, as well
as the best plan for meeting their
cost, which can be spread before the
people of the state, and SO help along
the good work that has already been
done along this line. 1t is not proba-
BILE that the general results can be
realized either from this convention
or from any legislation that may be
enacted this winter, more than to get
the matter fairly under way and be-
fore the people. But this would be
accomplishing a good deal, when we
consider the movement is only in it's
Infancy and that the mass of the peo-
pie have had a chance to give it only
a superficial study at the best. But
with the Inauguration of the work
the people will pay still more atten-
| tion to the matter than they are at
resent, or rather they will study it
still more thoroughly, and at the end
of another two years will know still
better how to get at the matter.
Whether the result of the convention
which meets today will come up to.the
expectation Of its friends and patrons.
or not, it will prove Of great value in
helping to crystalline public senti-
ment upon the subject and clear the
path for something practical.
