The past years work of the North
Carolina Good Roads Association
has been the most successful Of any
since its organization, but in reality
it is simply what was to be expected
nc % oI, r,Nrl- fhnf
has been carried on by this Associa-
ion for the past ten years. More
good roads meetings have been held
than during any previous year; the
attendance at these meetings has
been larger and the actual results
accomplished greater. Besides the
meetings that the Association has
held, it has published a great deal of
good roads literature that has been
widely circulated throughout the
State
The members Of the Association de-
sire very much to have men sent to
the Legislature of 1911 who are
actively interested in good roads for
every section of the State, believing
that if such men are the next legisla-
tors, they will not only be interested
in the question of good roads, which
is of such vital Importance to the
development of North Carolina, but
they will also be interested in all
questions that may come up which
will effect in any way the educational
and and industrial advancement of
North Carolina.
The questions that will be discussed
at the Convention will take up va
riOus phases of good roads work in
the State and especially the questions
and problems relating to good road
construction in eastern North Caro-
lima; and, for this reason, the county
and road commissioners of this sec
ton of the State are earnestly urged
to be present at the various meet
ings.
The headquarters of the Associa-
ton will be at barrymore Hotel,
where special rates have been ar
ranged for delegates and their friends,
and the meetings will also be held in
one of the large halls of this hotel
Delegates are requested to write the
hotel IN advance, reserving rooms.
The other hotels and boarding
houses will also probably make
special rates to delegates Special
rates have been arranged by the rail
roads for the North Carolina Press
Association, with whom the Good
Roads Association will hold it's ses-
sions and, therefore, the delegates
should inquire of the ticket agents at
their respective depots regarding
these special rates.
Delegates to the meetings of the
North Carolina Good Roads Asso-
citation include county and road
commissioners of all the counties of
the State, mayors of municipalities,
and delegates-at-large appointed by
chairmen of boards of county com
mlsslOners, mayors of cities, and
presidents of business associations.
All who are interested in the promo
ton of good roads are invited to at
tend the meetings of the Association.
