Meridian Road Notes.

At the annual meeting of the Winni-
peg Automobile Association last Friday
evening resolution was unanimously
adopted endorsing the Meridian road as
laid out along the Red river, from Win
nipeg to Emerson, and a copy of the re-
solution forwarded to the provincial gov
eminent. This, with the resolution of
the Motor Trade Association, passed in
March, endorsing this same route settles
the Meridian road in Manitoba, and con-
sequently on this side of the line where
it was originally located.
The Manitoba government refused to
take definite stand in the matter of
locating the route, although they were
in favor of the "Pembina Highway"
until they had an expression from the
auto club, with its membership of six
hundred, claiming they we're the parties
most interested.
The Emerson Board of Trade went ON
tour of inspection Monday, over the
route from the boundary line down the
river as far as their jurisdiction extends,
and are awaiting definite orders from
the commissioner of highways as to the
plans of how the road is to be construct.
ed before commenting work.
The Pembina township board had ar.
ranged Saturday to view this important
highway as far as the Carlisle line, and
also the line south to Macarthur, to con-
meet with Toilette on the eastern divi
sion of the Meridian road, but the trik
was postponed on account of the rain.
DR.. Waldren reports the southern enc
of Walsh county, which was not organ.
lied two weeks ago, rs lined up and rea
dy for work as soon as they receive in
structions what to do.
w. Il. Kelsey, chairman of the Crane
Forks county committee writes under
date Of April 10Th that they have started
laying out the work in the different dis
tricts through that county. They hav,
adopted the report recommended by tn,
committee of North Dakota Society o
engineers as the standard Of highway
and which will probably be adopted
throughout the state.
/ The report is very comprehensive ant
suggests many details that are necessa
ry to good roads and to maintain tn,
same. According to the reporta finish
ed road shall be twenty feet wide on til,
top and shall have a uniform crown Q
one inch to the foot; the embankmen
shall have slope Of two to one. Parti
cular attention Is directed to keep th
roads in'good shape after once built, b,
running split log drags over the grade
as soon as practical after rains.
