WILSON URGES GOOD
ROADS FOR ECONOMY

st. Louis, May 19.-secretary VIII
son was the principal speaker before
the good roads convention to-day. He
said:
"Roadmaking has not improved
very materially since Macadam APP
piled broken rock, but it has become
an economic question of great i'm
portance to the American people.
1--WE have established within the
department at Washington an office
for the study Of road material. We
are calling upon young men who have
graduated in engineering institutions
to take practical work with U.S. so
that we may be able to supply the de-
nands coming from all parts Of the
country for men skilled in the art of
road-making.
IT am well satisfied that when the
people are thoroly Informed in the
several states and territories with re-
gard to the science Of road building
there will be no hesitation in levying
taxes to carry on the work.
