GOOD ROADS FOR MAINE.
Letter Sent Out by Maine Hotel Pro
prietors' Association.

President Wilbur r. Emerson is
sending out the following letter to tho
hotels of Maine, regarding the pro-
posed bond issue amendment to the
State constitution: ~
To the Hotel Men of Maine
There is no subject of more vital
interest to the welfare of Maine than
Good Roads. The future of our
grand commonwealth is largely de-
pendent upon the Improvement in
highways. The Maine Hotel Pro-
prietors' Association through its com
mittee on good roads. in March last
earnestly petitioned the Maine Legis-
lature to submit to the voters an
amendment to the constitution en-
abling the State ito issue bonds not
exceeding s2,00o,000, the proceeds to
be devoted to the building and main
tenance of State highways. Ths
Maine State Board of Trade, the
Maine Automobile Association and
other business organizations also CO.
operated in this movement and the
outcome was that the Maine Legisla :
ture, assembled in special session.
granted the request.
The voters of Maine will therefore
have an opportunity to give express
sion of their views upon this impor-
tant matter in the forthcoming regu
lar State election in September
Every hotel man should be vigilant to
see that this proposed amendment Is
given passage by large majority
Maine is far behind other states in
this direction and it is of supreme i'm
portance not only to every hotel man
but TO every farmer and to business
men generally that this proposed
legislation be secured. The hotei
men of Maine are therefore urged 70
inaugurate vigorous campaign with
the view that everyone who has the
welfare of Maine at heart should vote,
Yes.
Yours sincerely,
WILBUR t. EMERSON,
President.
