MEETING OF GOOD ROADS AssO-
CATION.
Secretary Has Called a Meeting O.
BE Held I'm Raleigh, January -.


BE Held In Raleigh, January q.
Professor Joseph Hyde Pratt. State
Geologist and Secretary of the North
Carolina Good Roads Association has
called a meeting Of the Association
to be held In Raleigh, January 27th,
in the rooms of the Chamber OF Com
merce.
The meeting Is called for all those
interested in improved roads for
North Carolina TO discuss what can
be done TO assist the various coun-
ties throughout the State in putting
forth greater efforts for the construc-
ton OF good roads. The meeting will
also discuss State aid to counties In
the construction Of good roads.
Professor Pratt says there are va
rious ways in which the State may
aid counties in construction better
roads, among them being
By appropriation to the counties
for the actual construction of the
roads.
BY giving to the counties engineer
ing assistance in the location and
construction of public roads and in
building bridges.
BY using the State convicts in
good road construction.
OF these suggestions, Professor
Pratt thinks the engineering assist
ance to the counties to be the best.

| convicte.
All these suggestions will be dis
| cussed at the meeting and such &C
ton will be taken as is thought will
