Work for Good Roads.

One OF the most important factors
in the good roads work throughout
the state is the formation OF local as
sociations. These associations are
the means OF bringing to completion
good roads work in different localities
OF great value to the residents in
those sections. The Colorado Good
Roads Conference is urging upon ev-
cry county in the state the formation
OF such organizations.
These organizations should also
take advantage of recent laws passed
in this state by which separate road
and maintenance districts can be es-
tablished by petition from local resi-
dents. In this manner the people OF
any one locality can therefore bring
about the improvement OF their local
roads better than can the county
commissioners. The county commits
sioners have roads throughout the en-
tire county to look after, and often
the taxpayers of certain sections feel
that they are not receiving the atten-
ton they should Looking after all
county roads is a different proposition
from looking after those in smaller
district. The formation of these
smaller districts allows the taxpayers
to have more direct supervision of
their roads, and further provides that
definite sums shall he allotted for the
roads in such districts.
The Colorado Good Roads Confer
ence is anxious to aid any county that
desires to form local Good Roads AS
sociations. They will also furnish any
one interested with copies of the laws
relating to the formation of improve
ments and maintenance districts in
the counties. This information can
be secured by addressing W. II. EN-
mons. assistant secretary OF the Colo

approved as to correctness by
the State Auditor the State
Treasurer shall be required to
pay the same out of any funds

should also provide that said

the State to compel the payment
to it by the State of any amounts
expended by it for such repairs,
