Friends of Road No. 6 Saved From

Wenatchee, Oct. 21.-The second
,orc session of the State Good Roads
,csociation closed with one of the
h;a Questions, which confronted the
oonvention, settled, but not until
after there had been three hours of
uorm debate which marked a fac
+;onal fight which has gradually been
EARNING up since the arrival of the
delegates.
Report Is Anticipated.
Ascertaining that the legislative
committee, with S. A. Perkins, of
Tacoma. as chairman, was going to
recommend that the convention adopt
resolutions asking the legislature to
nrovide for the construction of state
road No. 6, running from the south
boundarv of the Rainier National
Park. through Snoqualmie pass, to
Walla Walla and thence in north
easterly direction to Spokane, friends
Of state road No. got busy, and
inst before the close of the morning
session asked that a report be re-
ouired from the legislative commit
fee by 8 o'clock in the afternoon.
Amendments Proposed.
Delegates then began to get busy.
During the noon hour the campaign
was waged for an amendment to in
clude the road from Seattle, through
the pass, to Ellensburg and thence
to Wenatchee, and from there along
the most practical route to Spokane,
and also from Seattle to Aberdeen
and South Bend.
The report was made, and imme-
diately upon Chairman Perkins NOV
ing the adoption of the report, M. j.
Carrigan, of King County, moved the
amendment. The original motion
carried with it the provision that the
funds for constructing the roads be
raised by direct taxation.
Hartman Wants Bonds.
John P. Hartman, of Seattle, fac
ing the convention, pleaded earnestly
for an amendment advocating the
raising of funds by the issuance of
state bonds, reasoning that the build
ing of the roads ought not to be a
burden to be borne by the present
generation alone, but should be part
ly cast upon posterity.
John c. Lawrence, member of the
state highway board, and C. B. Keg-
ley, master of the state grange, bit
terly opposed the amendments, but
were outvoted in convention by a
large majority.
