Association has just finished sending
out 1000 copies of a pamphlet entl-
tied ssGood Roads. Y copies having
been sent to all the road officers

of the edition distributed to parties

The pamphlet, which assumes the
proportions of magazine. or book,
was originally intended to be ready
for distribution month ago, but as
the work went along it grew to such
proportions that, together with few
slight delays III press work, it could
not be ready for distribution until
about the 18th of June. Since then
the work OF mailing has been going
on steadily and has been finished this
week. A few copies nave been re-.
tained for those who may desire one,
but have not been found on the asso-
cition's mailing list. They are free.

work all over the county. The sug-
gestions it contains come, therefore,
just when the public is occupied with
the subject. To some it will be OF
direct value, to others it will be OF
indirect benefit In some localities

literally, in others it will make the
parties interested think of things
