another 81 500 was In sight for the same
purpose In the Immediate future. Mr.
Woolley said he did not altogether ap-
prove of the idea of starting the state
highway In the north end of the state.
If you will commence this road from
the Arizona line and build northward."
said he. "the road will be completed
but 1t is doubtful if this would be the
case II 1t were constructed first be-
tween Salt Lake and Ogden"
CONCRETE ADVOCATED.
During an interval between the ad-
dresses the chair appointed the COM
mittee on resolutions as follows. Mayor
William Glasmann. Ogden; NJ. NJ.

Road Commissioner Mclean of Car
bon county made an interesting 10-min-
ute address. in which he revealed short
ly the conditions in his county. He
said that the roads were hard to keep
In shape because of the physical con-
ditions and earnestly advocated the
use of reinforced concrete in all road
bridge building
we arc going to put in three bridges
across the Price river this year. and
we are going to use concrete wherever
we can" he said. The day of lum-
Der and logs has gone by in bridge
work and particularly is this true when
you get into country like ours, where
a heavy rainfall OF quick thaw Is
liable to make a raging torrent out of
our washes and canyon streams, We
expect to expend $4,000 this year and
next year we hope to have more"
Ie11yl
sioner of Davis county, said that there
were 600 miles Of road in the county
which had to be kept up. During my
tenure OF office" he said, IT have found
that 1t is as necessary to have
road grades as it Is to have
them on the steam roads. While
we don't feed our animals coal
we have to feed them some
thing to get up flguratlve steam, and in
the building of all roads this should be
taken into consideration. I find that
a number of the old roads follow the
contour of the country without any
respect to grades. This is a fault which
should be remedied" +"
A number of questions were asked
Mr.. Birmingham in regard to the meth
cd employed In Davis county OF raising
funds for road work, and Mr.. Madsen
OF Weber county was also brought into
ing. Both men, who are considered eX-
pert road builders, advocated spring
grading.
Just before the convention adjourned
for the morning the courtesy of the
Commercial club rooms was extended
to them. Many took advantage of this
to hive luncheon in the cafe and spent
the recess period inspecting the rooms
and enjoying their comforts. 1t was a
o,-tso Ia,.I,, nj aff thn
part of Secy. Caine as the Armory hall,
where the convention is In session, is
IN Immediate connection with the CLUB
rooms.
