Will be on Larger and More Com.
prehenSiVe Scale Than Any

TO ASK CONGRESS- FOR 100000
Proposed to Call on National, State,
County and City Officials TO
Push The ROrk

Chicago, Nov. 15.-A national cam
paign against bad roads on a bigger
and more comprehensive scale than
any in the past is to be organized in
Chicago next week. With the forma-
tion of a national good roads associa-
tion, with branches in every state in
the union, and if possible in every
county and every township, all the
forces which make for clean, level and
smooth roadways will be united for
harmonious work on every legislative
body of the country, from the national
congress and the state legislature down
to city councils and county boards of
supervisors.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of
next week a national good roads and
improvement convention is to be held
at Central Music Hall at the call of
the Interstate Good Roads association.
Col. w. H. Moore, the president of that
association, is already in this city pre-
pairing the way for the meetings. Del
egates from every state, probably 1000
in all, are expected, and before they
leave a national Good Roads associa-
tion will have been formed.
Other subjects to be discussed will
be an appeal to congress for an appro-
priation of at least 800, 900 for the use
of the bureau of road inquiry in pro-
pagating interest in the subject and
the building of a national highway
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
