 ''Whereas, Good Roads Conventions will be held in Birmingham, November 2Oth to 23rd; in Mobile from November 18th to 3Oth; and in Montgomery, beginning December 4th and including December 9th, and,
 Whereas, it is very important for the future welfare of the State that we inn prove this opportunity looking to the uniform betterment of all our highways.
 "Therefore, l, William D. Jelks, Gov ernor of Alabama, request and urge the mayors of the cities and towns. the com mercial bodies. the Boards of Revenue and the Commissioners Courts of the various counties to send suitable men as delegates to such of these conventions as shall be most convenient for them.
 Practical road making will engage the attention of the delegates during a good part of the time and can but furnish happy object lessons to be carried back and distributed in the various districts of the State.
 "The thoughts of our people can rest upon no more important subject than the building and care of our stretches of neglected highways and hence, the in- terest l, as Governor of this State, in common with all thoughtful people, have in the proposed movement. Tn testimony whereof, I have hereunto | set my hand and caused the Great Seal l of State to be affixed at the Capitol, in | the city of Montgomery, this the 18th day of November, 1901. (SEAL) Wm. D. Jelks. By the Governor: Robert McDavid, Secretary of State"
 The proclamation is being mailed over the State.
