streets in the city took definite form
last night in a rousing meeting IN me
Commercial club when the B"fnailHo
County Good Roads association was
Derfected, with fun set of otilcers
and a charter membership of sixty,
the list including business mon, pro-
fessional men, farmers ana property
owners, every one of whom is thor
oughly in earnest in backing the ei-
fort for decent highways.
There has been more or less of agl-
tation for road improvement during
the past two years in Albuquerque.
The need has been fully recognized
and the sentiment in favor Of action

visit of the trade excursion to the
Pecos valley the conviction has been
growing fast that il is time to do
something here if Albuquerque is to
keep pace with the rest of the ter
ritory Enthusiasts for road building
have been at work and last nights
meeting was the result of q brief cam
paign Of publicity by the Morning
Journal the attendance showing that
nothing more was needed than to give
definite form to the movement to
bring out the full strength of the sem
