The Louisiana State Board oil
Agriculture and immigration has
interested itself in the Good
Roads movement, with regard tc
which the people throughout the
entire State are being aroused,
and has secured the cooperation
of Hon. Martin Dodge, Director
of the Office of Public Roau
Inquiries, U. S. Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. c.,
who has assigned Mr.. Charles T.
Harrison, Special Agent and
Expert, and his assistant, Mr.. E.
w. Sheets, Road Expert in the
same Office, to do demonstration
work in this vicinity, which is to
begin as soon as the road building
machinery and materials arrive.
Object-lesson roads. that run
through the grounds of the
Louisiana State University and
A. and M. College, will be
constructed under their supervis-
ion, with the student body doing
the entire work. Mr.. Harrison
will deliver a series of lectures to
the cadets, explaining the best
methods of constructing surface
ing and draining OF roads, material
most suitable for the work, etc.,
having the cadets familiarize
themselves in handling teams.
machinery, ETC.. and will teach
them how to take apart, put up,
repair and handle the machinery
to the best advantage.
1t has been decided that it
would be an opportune time,
while the work is going on, to
have a Good Road convention,
and later a call will be issued and
the time and date fixed, to which
you are asked, and will be
cordially invited by the Governor,
to send live, progressive, repre-
sentative delegates to the conven-
ton, with the view of reorganiz-
ing the State Good Roads
Association, discussing the sub
ject of good roads, and for the
purpose of bringing about an
organized and determined effort
to pass a law creating a Highway
Commissioner in the interest of
improved highway, and more
economic expenditure of road
funds throughout the parishes.
The convention will be asked to
appoint a special legislative
committee for the purpose of
drafting q bill for presentation at
the opening of the nextl General
Assembly.
During the progress of the
obiect-lesson work at the
University, it is earnestly
desired and hoprd that members
of Parish Boards, road overseers
and all who have an interest in
better roads, will consider them
selves especially invited to visit
the work, at any and all times,
They will find the gentlemen in
charge ever willing to explain the
methods involved, and to impair,
any other information they may
possess regarding road work. q
we'll as willing to receive
information from others.
Let US hope that you gentlemen
are disposed to cooperate in this
work, and will come togethe
for the exchange of ideas tina
will be helpful and inspiring.
