Recent years have witnessed tAs
holding of countless Good Roads meet
ings in all of the western states. Mso
have WED with each other in portray
ing to eager listeners the beauties Of
having better roads for farmer and
pleasure seeker. The much despiss 4,
auto has become q necessity rathss1
than q luxury and today, with the hs<
air all escaped, money is coming forth
in large sums and actual work is being
done on the roads which, in the past,
have been barely more than passable.
And Garfield county was one of the
counties which felt the upheaval. RoeA
meetings were held in every city, towa
and hamlet Of the county. "We should
build bettsr ruads," was the cry at al
Of thsse. But the meeting sdjour.ea
TO meet aeain-aad no work Of co.ss.
quence was started in Garfield county.

a.d elbsw sreass, forty eoaviets frea
the Colorado peniee.tiary at Oanen
City are today transforming the old
Garfield county "wagou road" into =
boulevard over which the farmer can
haul twice the amount of produce and
the pleasure seeker who is touring the
country in q modern auto can 60 at a
speed Of forty miles without mishaP;
the Doubling Thomases are convinced
and actual road work is being done.
1t was not until about the time OF
the Organization of the Glenwood
Springs Motor club that the agitstioa
for better roads began to settle down
to cold hard facts. 1t was shown that
the time for talking had passed and
the time for action had arrived. The
people were enlightened as to the value
Of better roads and whsa the farmers
Of Garfield county saw they could haul
twice as much produce over . good
road, they de@aaded ne rosds.
The convicts were brought.
Taxpayers gathered in little knots
at street eorners and along the county
roadsides; nervous folks feared the con
viets would do all sorts of things to
them and the Doubtinv Thonases work,
ed overtime in aa effort 70 stir up sucn
oppositiea - would force The commits,
sioaers to abendon this plan. But the
commissioner aisAts.sa their belts,
looked straight aAsad and brought the
eoaviets and today there y 70 one in
Garfield county who wants the eoavicts
taken away. They want then kept
in the county until all the reads are
beuIevards and unkil every nook and
corner Of the county has been covered |
