FOR BIG CONFERENCE

terested in Highway From Richmond to
Gordonsville- Delegates Guests Of Rich
mond Automobile Club at BANQUET

the entire rural population made UP its
composite MIND that the time had ar
rived TO quit spending hard earned dol
lars just for the amusement and pleas
Nre OF the mud king. Hui building
roads is not the work of a day or
might Education was necessary
There were some who could MOI be
convinced that good road was cheap
at any price There were a number o f
"haricrusts' in the field. who thought
that any tax levy was robbery In
Coed. there We're some who did not want
good roads because ii would increase
the taxable value of their land.
Learn Value of Good Roads.
These conditions have largely van
ished- have entirely vanished in the
counties between Richmond and Cor
louisville THAT is why the Richmond
Automobile Club decided TO invite the
mcmbers OF the Legislature, the super
visors Of roads. the newspaper men in
the several counties Interested and
also he Mayors of Louisa and Cor
louisville. And that is why the men in
vited have accepted the Invitation TO
come TO Richmond and start doing
things
1t will mean much to every man,
woman and child between these two
cities-how mucn. time Will tell. But
the men who viii discuss the question
tonight know every detail OF the sit
uation They have been over the roads
day in and day out for many years
they have waited until the right mo-
mcnt arrived and they feel that that
moment Is nov. And they will be in a
position to rise in meeting and tell
just what IS what and Just how tile
road can be built. II will be n great
meeting, and when it is over the hard
est work viii have been done in accom-
plishing the highway.
