auestionably would be a great advertising
medium for your city and our state
LAS you know our legislature has made
no provision for a state highway commis5
sion. II we are to obtain a state road,
it is up to every city along the proposed
route to cooperate in obtaining a state
organization as would give a permanency
to the proposed route.
I'VE must keep in mind that at present.
as shown by a Colorado state road map
issued by the Colorado state highway COM
mission that there is road from Denver
to Julesburg, Colo; from Denver to Holy
oke. Colo, and from Denver to Wray, Colo
&C. p. Allen, chairman Of the Colorado
state highway commission. strongly favors
the road from Denver to Holyoke, through
WRuneto, Imperial Palsade Culbertson,
McCook, etc, and cities along the Burling-
ton. Yet Mr. Allen and his commission
have no power TO establish a road in our
state.
THE cities and every other city along
the Burlington that the proposed route as
recommended by the Colorado state high
way commission passes through, must get
together and form a state organization.
This matter is urgent and demands inn
mediate attention. Each city along this
route will be allowed only two accredited
delegates. No favoritism will be shown
We need officers who will push our state
road.
An organization of these towns can prop
erly advertise our route, publish an official
tourists guide and generally add to the
keeping OF our route before the various
automobile associations OF the United
States.
Il will be grateful TO. you for any sug-
gestons that will make this good road
meet a success. Send the names OF your
delegates and the time OF their arrival at
