FOR BETTER ROADS.
A Movemeut That ContempIates I'm
proyemert Throughout the
Entire State,

The executive committee of the GOOD
Roads League met Yesterday at the rooms
of the State Board of Trade. 16 Post street,
and discussed matters looking to the i'm
provement of roads all over the State
The desire IS TO thoroughly organ
ize the league all over the coast, so
that when the next Legislature meets the
body will be IN a position to secure legisia-
ton favora bic TO the desired ends. One of
the first things TO be done Is to. prepare an
address setting forth what is desired to be
accomplished and this address will be sent
10 persons who will be the most likely TO
give the matter serious consideration. F.
J. Nassauit of Oakland was selected to pre-
pare the address.
A committee consisting of r. Nj. WEIGH,
a. P. Stanton and Charles A. Adams OF
San Francisco was selected to comm ami
cate with fifteen or twenty advocates of
good roads IN various parts of the State
with the view OF raising money.
There was considerable discussion as to
the best methods of perfecting organiza-
ton. However, all thought the best plan
was to create county bodies, with county
organizers and then a State body with a
State organizer and when possible hold a
State convention.
resolution was passed favoring the
United States Government building a fine
wagon-road into tine Yosemite Valley.
This Is for the purpose O. shutting off the
scheme of the owners of the private toll
roads from selling their poorly-made
earth roads TO the Government for an ex-
orbltan sum of money.
