those who addressed today tho tenth an
nual convention OF the American Road
Builders association, IN session here
Several speakers declared the numerous
bills now before congress providing for
federal aid for good roads were designed

the states good. permanent highways.
S. Percy Hooker, state superintendent
of highways Of New Hampshire, said he
did not favor federal aid under present
proposed schemes. II federal aid is TO
come, he said, there should be a federal
department OF roads. and each state
should have n similar department. He
outlined how these departments should
work together.

board Of estimate OF New York City. said
he was against government aid II federal
TO let the states build as they please or
II the national government stepped In and
built roads as II desired.
Former Chairman OF the Massachusetts
highway commission, Harold Parker, also
declared that any federal legislation at
this time would DC wrong because there
Is no present prospect OF an agreement
on the form federal aid shall take.
Among other speakers today was Gov
ernor Teaer, who said that roads should
not be built upon the word OF ldealists or
theorists, but should be constructed by
practical men.
That monuments or other suita BILE
markers should be built on the main

DONE TELLS OF SNOW
THAT DELAYED TRAIN

While on his way home from his visit
to Chicago, Willard Done, state insura nee
commissioner, was one OF the unluchy
ones who were snowbound during the
storm in Colorado, The train In which
Mr., Done was. riding was first stalled
near little Colorado town, Akron, which
is east OF Denver. The train was held
there three days while binding snow
drove against the windows and piled up
on all sides OF the train.
The second evening one Of tho proprier
tors Of the Akron motion picture houses
came to the train and extended the pas
sensers as well as those of five other
trains held up by tho drifts an invita-
ton to visit his picture show as his
guests. However, the snow was too deep
for the travellers to oven go from tho
train into the town, 30 they told the gem
erous theater owner that they preferred
TO stay In the warm train and read mag
azines or play cards
After the snow plows made Il possible
for the trains to proceed to Denver they
were held UP there by storms on the
line near Cheyenne. The storm also pre-
vented the Rio Grande from operating
out OF Denver, so Done and his fellow
passengers waited until the Union Pa
cino was reported clear and then took
train for Salt Lake, arriving only a
few hours behind schedule time
