At the third annualNational Good
Roads Convention. to be held In st.
Louis Sept. % to 80. there will be dis
cussed the ways and means OF provid-
ing the necessary funds for the general
improvement of highways throughout
the country. The consensus of opin-
ion seems to be that in the construc-
ton of the main. travel highways, or
trunk lines. the expense Of such work
should be born In part by Federal APP
preparations and State appropriations.
Up to the present time no Federal
appropriations have been made for
roads construction. although bureau
is maintained which furnishes advice
and tests road materials. This bu-
reau is under the direction Of Logan
Waller Page at Washinton. D. c., and
has been of the greatest value in
stimulating interest in the good roads
movement throughout the Union.
"The best results on trunk lines
heretofore" states George c. Diehl.
Chairman of the National Convention
Committee, have been obtained
through large State appropriations in
the form of State aid to counties and
towns. 1t has been suggested that
the extension of the State aid system
to several States invarious parts Of
the country, and the appointment OF
State Highway Commission in every
State, which will systematically and
economically expend highway moneys,
will result, in the near future, in large
