GOOD ROADS ENTHUSIASM n
FLORIDA

The meeting of the good roads en-
thusiasts at Ocala, under the auspic-
es of the State Good Roads Associa-
ton, is an important incident in the
development of Florida.
There must naturally be great
deal of enthusiasm aroused in order
to put through highway improvement
plans. Conventions like the one
held in Ocala do great deal toward
developing this requisite enthusiasm.
Florida has made remarkable prog
ress in road building in the past few
years, but it is but a beginning of
what must be done to keep this state
abreast of the times in this impor-
tant essential.
In this connection it is noticeable
that all the candidates for governor
of Florida and all the candidates for
the legislature, whose announcements
on the subject the Tribune has seen,
declare unequivocally for the aboli-
tion of the convict lease system in
the state, and the placing of the pris-
oners on the public roads.
If this is brought about through
the action of the next legislature, it
will help a great deal in the extern
sion of the states system of improved
highways.
Again, the proposition to have the
state undertake the building of GER
tain highways ON its own account
has not been abandoned by any
means, although receiving little en-
couragement in the last legislature.
The proposition is sure to come up
again when the legislators next as
semble, and sentiment seems to be
Overwhelmingly in favor of it.
Federal aid is a much-mooted ques-
ton, and some of the ablest mem
bers of congress have recently de-
clared> themselves in favor of the
government undertaking. a systemat-
ic plan of assistance - the states in
the construction of good roads
Throughout the country .hcre is
evident an awakened interest in the
good roads question, anl this is par
ticularly true in Flor Ia.
The Tribune hopes the convention
at Ocala will serve to stimulate this
interest and, perhaps, to propose
some definite ideas that may be util-
lied in accelerating The good roads
movement in this state
Some of the leading citizens of
Florida, men who are thoroughly
identified with the upouiicing Of tic
state, attended the co1srn. IN, and
the conference of their able minds
must surely be productive of bene-
fit-Tampa Tribune.
