Proposed Road Conventions.

Levi Chubbuck, secretary of the Mis-.
souri, Road Improvement association.
has written to T. o. Stanley, of Sc
dalia, first vice-president of the assoc
citation, urging the holding of four
district road conventions, similar to
the one held at Chillicothe several
months ago. He suggests that one be
held at Springfield, another at Sc
dalia. the third at Macon City, and the
fourth at Marysville, embracing the
four principal parts of the state. All
the improved road machinery will be
given a trial at these conventions, not
in the nature of competitive trial. but
combine the best features of all for
the improvement of the roads of the
state at the least expense to the tax
payers.
Mr.. Chubbuclk's plan is to hold =
three days meeting at each of the
points named. The daytime will be
taken up in testing the machines in a
practical way. taking all sorts of
roads. At night there will be meet
ings to discuss methods and means.
