FOR Good ROADS
Convention Will Meet in Mus
kOgee This Week to
Discuss Subject

Muskogee, Dec. 3--To link the south
west states together with a chain OF
good roads and in this way to add
wonderfully to the rapid development
of this section of the country is the
object of the state and national
Good Roads association, which will be
held in Muskogee, December 5, and
Z. Conservative, business-like action
will be taken to impress upon the
members of the Oklahoma constitu-
tional convention the Importance Of
providing clause in the constitution
that will enable the legislature to pro-
vide general legislation that will COW
en- the entire state for the purpose Of
road building. Legislation is want
ed giving the state authority to pay
half the cost of constructing state
roads while the county and the abut-
ting property owners shall bear the
remaining fifty per cent, and at any
time majority of property owners
petition the road shall be construct
ed. Such a plan has been successful
in many states.
1t is planned to have the members
of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES here
December in order to give them
irst-hand information on the subject.
They will be given an opportunity to
witness a practical demonstration in
road building.
Oklahoma and the adjoining states
will be well represented and the ac-
tfon of the convention will have spe-
cial bearing on this region. The pro-
gram will include the annual election
of officers to the national association
and many prominent speakers will
address the convention. Invitations
have been sent to the mayors of 1900
cities and the governor and governor
elect Of each state and territory.
Commercial clubs Of 1900 cities and
many other organizations interested
in the movement have been asked to
send representatives.
