start this morning the New-YoTk and Chicago road
officials were able make two good points. Hor-

the Mayor D. J. l.. Miller, and number of the
aldermen and citizens held Informal meeting
at the City Hall. Both the road representatives
made short speeches, and practical assurances or
co-operation BY the people of Corning given.
At Hornellsyille the Mayor and several or the
city officers and business met the visiting road
advocates and discussed the plans of the associa-
ton. Another delegation of citizens at Wellsville
received the Toledo motor car tourists. and were
extravagant in their promises of assistance After
leaving Corning the roads were fair Tor about
eight miles but after that the going very bad
in places. Part of the way the road led
along the base of the mountain, which had been
recently the scene of disastrous cloudburst that
washed away many bridges and turned portions OF
the road into gullies Horneilsville has some good
paved streets The road from there TO Wellsville
leads through pretty valley. although somewhat
disturbed from the late foods.
So far, with over four hundred miles OF the
road inspected there is nowhere along the route
