Convention.

Through an error in the renort:

the occasion OF the meeting of the
National Good Roads Federation, the
Copper Era, in it's last issue, was
made to say that the Southern Nation
al Highway Association had changed
its name to The United States Good

The organization which held its
convention at Birmingham, Ala, on
April 24-25. is a good roads organiza
t1on- of national scope, working for
national good roads without any par
tlcularly designated route being ad-
vocated. In adopting the constitu-
ton at Birmingham the name was
changed from the National Good
Roads Federation to the United States
Good Roads Association.
The object of the United States
Good Roads Association as set forth

tlon is to unite all states, associations,
organizations and individuals to move

national enterprise; greater in i'm
portance than the construction of the
Panama canal; fraught with more
beneficient results to the republic and
to humanity and demanded by the
people of the United States with more
unanimity and deeper desire than
anything else presented to congress.
Sec. 2. For the establishment, con-
struction and maintenance of an uni
form system of road building: which
said system shall be uniform and
meet at common and given points to
DE established by the several states.
SO that important roads of each coun-

those of the adjoining states; thus
forming an inter-county, Interstate
and national system of roads.
