would certainly have better roads.
The same iberality should be extend.
ed by the government toward road
building as that given TO rivers and
harbOrS.'
Following the talks OF Moore and
Dodge came the appointment of COM
mittees as set forth in our last issue,
and adjournment until two O'Clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At this session large number OF
people were present. The
NON. wN. BRADBURs,
Government Engineer, was the princi-
pal speaker, and il is with regret that
we can reproduce but few Of his re-
marks as follows:
Through force of habit people be-
come antiQuated, satisfied with what
our forefathers had. This is more or
less applicable TO the roads we travel.
Efficient engineers should be secured,
and money spent should be handled
intelligcntly. Such men can earn ten
times their wages. Drainage on FIAT
land Is first essential in road building.
Gravel or rock thrown in mud holes is
useless. Clean all mud from holes and
start on dry foundations: build roads in
dry seasons OF the year. Good coun-
try roads can be made with live inches
OF small rock and then three inches Of
finer material, covering the top with
that which is impervous TO water. The
contour of a road should be oval and
perfect, even as the roof OF house,
the material being packed with steam
rollers" Maps were used TO Illustrate
the different methods OF constructing
roads, The gentleman's effort was
highly instructive.
Col. RiXey followed with an address
that was as full Of fun as salient facts
in reference TO legislative action.
Various persons them took part in a
general discussion of the good roads
movement.
Mrs. Cowley and Frank Baugh were
vocalistS on this occasion and delight
ed the audience.
EVENING SESSION.
The $50 p. m. session drew the
largest crowd of the day, but this was
not Of sufficient size as to endanger
the structure.
Mr. J. Ballard took the place Of the
A. c. band on the program and sang
Jerusalem" and of course ne did it
well.
